Hi all, Release candidate 1.22.4.rc2 is now available from GNU's alpha ftp. Compared to the previous releases (1.22.3.rc1) it includes the latest 2.3 version of 'mom' macro package, new features in 'gropdf' to generate presentation slides and several fixes.
Notes: - The previous release was wrongly named 1.22.3.rc1 (it should have be a 1.22.4.rc1). All the future RC will have a version and tag 1.22.4.rcX, and the final 1.22.4 version will be tagged 1.22.4. - Previously fonts and macro data was installed (by default) in /usr/local/share/groff/<full version>. Now a 'short version' is defined that contains only the 3 numbers <major>.<minor>.<patch>, and this 'short version' is used as the installation directory instead of the full version. The full version is still used in the various scripts and binaries (for example 'groff --version' will return 'GNU groff version 1.22.4.rc2'). The version can be downloaded here: https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/groff/. To build it and install it: mkdir build cd build ../configure make -j <number of core> sudo make install To uninstall it just do 'make uninstall'. You can also download and build the 1.22.4.rc2 from git: git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/groff.git cd groff git checkout 1.22.4.rc2 ./bootstrap mkdir build cd build ../configure make -j sudo make install Thanks to everyone that is willing to test this version.
