I made already many releases 0.9.0 to 0.9.9. For some files, I got license trouble, that's were these many version numbers arose. I recently extended the documentation with a mathematical part, but the ideal language must still be added and the preprocessors was not yet even started. The development will take some time. I understand that a not yet complete preprocessor is nothing good for the coming groff 0.1.23, so I already removed it temporarily. I will add it later, when the preprocessor will run. > .

No idea so far, I will try to fix that. Thankx for testing. Bernd Warken
