-(Some possibly surprising names in the above are due to a rebase of
-groff me(7) against 4.4BSD.)

-Headline features nominated by our development community include:
- * a new 'man' macro, "MR", for formatting man page cross references;
- * hyperlinked text in terminals via the ECMA-48 OSC 8 escape sequence;
- * a new 'rfc1345' macro package, contributed by Dorai Sitaram,
- enabling use of RFC 1345 mnemonics as groff special characters;
- * a new 'sboxes' macro package, contributed by Deri James, enabling
- 'ms' documents to place shaded and/or bordered rectangles underneath
- any groff page elements (PDF output only);
- * 'mom' 2.5, a macro package contributed by Peter Schaffter;
- * the 'ms' package's new strings to assist subscripting;
- * Italian localization, including hyphenation patterns and macro
- package string translations, thanks to Edmond Orignac; and
- * new hyphenation patterns for English.

-over 160 unit and regression tests.

The SHA-256 checksum is encoded in Base64 instead of the hexadecimal
form that most checksum tools default to. The mechanism follows.
-sha256sum < groff-1.23.0.tar.gz | cut -f1 -d\ | xxd -r -p | base64
+sha256sum < groff-1.yy.0.tar.gz | cut -f1 -d\ | xxd -r -p | base64
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig
file and the corresponding archive. Then, verify the archive.
- gpg --verify groff-1.23.0.tar.gz{.sig,}
+ gpg --verify groff-1.yy.0.tar.gz{.sig,}
If that command fails because you don't have the required public
key, you can import it.
