groff 1.20.1-3 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

groff (1.20.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Tell 'make' (as well as 'make install') about docdir, so that it gets
    substituted properly into manual pages.
  * Adjust pic(1) and pdfroff(1) references to account for compression
    (closes: #498356).
  * Backport from upstream, fixing "bad character definition" warnings:
    - tmac/doc.tmac: Call `ec' before mapping characters.

groff (1.20.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make sure /usr/share/groff/current is only in groff-base, not also in
    groff (closes: #537667).
  * Bump groff-base Replaces: groff version to include 1.20.1-1, just in
    case the above bug confused some dpkg databases into believing that
    /usr/share/groff/current is owned by groff.

groff (1.20.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (closes: #196762, #415754). See the NEWS file for
    full details of improvements, to which I can't do justice here, but
    items relevant to Debian bug reports include:
    - Unicode input support has been very much improved, including a new
      'preconv' preprocessor which converts various input encodings to
      something groff can understand directly (closes: #322760), which also
      allows us to avoid the old and rather broken ascii8 device (closes:
      #533778); support for composite glyphs; and localisation files for
      several languages.
    - mdoc .Dt now allows overriding the volume name (closes: #176575).
    - Backquote formatting fixed in groff(1) (closes: #184603).
    - HTML output much improved, including a DOCTYPE (closes: #190209).
    - \[an] is now U+23AF, not U+2500 (closes: #382265).
    - rs/rq typo fixed in groff(7) (closes: #402854).
    - pic now supports up to 32 macro arguments, and ignores further
      arguments rather than crashing (closes: #453260).
  * Dropped multibyte patch. CJK is partially supported by way of Unicode
    input, but widths are wrong and proper line breaking is not implemented;
    this is planned to be added by way of "character classes". However, I
    can't justify holding new groff code out of Debian any longer when CJK
    manual pages can more or less be read with the new release.
  * Since the M and G fonts no longer exist:
    - \f5 and \f6 no longer break (closes: #227091);
    - We no longer get spurious devdvi font errors (closes: #194041);
    - We no longer fail to italicise or underline CJK text (closes:
      #288382).
    - Angle brackets around URLs no longer have broken widths (closes:
      #522323).
  * Add localisation macro files to groff-base.
  * Adjust #! line of font/devlj4/generate/special.awk; awk is in
    /usr/bin/awk on Debian, not /bin/awk.
  * Add preconv to groff-base.
  * Imported into a branch on bzr.debian.org; add Vcs-Bzr control field.
