VERSION 1.19.2
==============
Troff
-----
o Analogously to the .ft and \f pair, two new requests `gcolor' and
`fcolor' (which pair with \m and \M, respectively) have been added to
set the glyph and background colours.
o A new read-only, string-valued register `.sty' returns the name of the
current style.
o Two new conditional operators `F <name>' and `S <name>' have been added.
`F' is true if a font <name> exists. `S' is true if a style <name> has
been registered.
o Cyrillic characters have been added to the `utf8' and `html' output
devices.
Pic
---
o The `by' argument in a `for' loop can now be negative if it is additive.
For the multiplicative case, it must be greater than zero.
Eqn
---
o The following keywords aren't new but haven't been documented previously:
undef NAME (to undefine a macro)
copy "FILE" (a synonym for `include')
space n (to modify the vertical spacing before and after
an equation)
o The following macros aren't new but haven't been documented previously:
Alpha, ..., Omega (the same as `ALPHA', ..., `OMEGA')
ldots (three dots on the base line)
dollar (a dollar glyph)
o The following keywords have been extended. Again, this isn't new but
hasn't been documented previously:
col n { ... }
lcol n { ... }
rcol n { ... }
ccol n { ... }
pile n { ... }
lpile n { ... }
rpile n { ... }
cpile n { ... } (set vertical spacing between rows to N)
Grohtml
-------
o This device driver has been raised to beta stage; its set of tags should
be stable now.
o New command line option `-s' to set the base point size.
o New command line option `-S' to set the split level while generating
multiple files.
Grotty
------
o Experimental support for zero-width and double-width characters.
Gxditview
---------
o On platforms which have the X Window System this program is now built and
installed automatically.
[not in NetBSD's base system]
Xtotroff
--------
o This program to create font definition files for xditview isn't new but
hasn't been installed previously.
[not in NetBSD's base system]
Groffer
-------
o A security problem (reported as CAN-2004-0969) has been fixed.
Gdiffmk
-------
o A new script contributed by Mike Bianchi. It compares two groff, nroff,
or troff documents and creates an output with added margin characters
(using `.mc') to indicate the differences.
[installed]
Pdfroff
-------
o A new wrapper script contributed by Keith Marshall to easily create PDF
documents with groff.
[not installed, uses ghostscript]
Macro packages
--------------
o ms.tmac
. Support for fractional point sizes: A value for the `PS', `VS', `FPS',
and `VPS' register larger than or equal to 1000 is always divided by
1000. For example, `.nr PS 10250' sets the document's font size to
10.25 points.
. The `Ds' and `De' macros provided in ms since groff version 1.19 have
been removed; the equivalent `DS' and `DE' macros should be used
instead. X11 documents which actually use `Ds' and `De' always load a
specific macro file from the X11 distribution (`macros.t') which
provides proper definitions for the two macros.
. The following registers have been added for improving layout control:
PORPHANS
Defines number of lines following `LP', `PP', `QP', `IP' or `XP' which
must be kept together, before any automatic page break.
HORPHANS
Sets number of lines of following paragraph which must be kept with a
heading, defined by `NH' or `SH', before any automatic page break.
GROWPS
Sets the first level of heading (set with `NH') which will keep the
same point size as body text.
PSINCR
Sets the point size increment for each level of heading (set with
`NH'), below the threshold level set by `GROWPS'; e.g., if
\n[PS] = 10, \n[GROWPS] = 3 and \n[PSINCR] = 2.0p, then `.NH 1' will
produce 14pt headings, `.NH 2' will produce 12pt, and all other levels
will remain at 10pt (because \n[PS] = 10).
. The `SH' macro now accepts a numeric argument, to make heading size
match that of `NH' with same argument value when the `GROWPS'/`PSINCR'
feature is enabled.
Please refer to the documentation of the ms package for other, minor
improvements.
o me.tmac
The section type set with the `++' request is available in the `_M'
register. This isn't new but hasn't been documented before.
o www.tmac
The `HR' macro no longer causes an empty line for non-HTML devices.
A new macro `HEAD' has been added to directly add data to the
<head>...</head> block.
New macros `OLS' and `OLE' to start and end an ordered list.
New macros `DLS' and `DLE' to start and end a definition list.
Pdfmark
-------
o A new macro package contributed by Keith Marshall which implements PDF
marks. This is in alpha stage currently.
[not installed, needs ghostscript]
Miscellaneous
-------------
o Two new keywords to the DESC file have been added which are needed for
grohtml: `image_generator' and `unscaled_charwidths'. The former gives
the name of the program which creates PNG images, and the latter makes
troff always use unscaled character widths.
change wsconsctl(4) so that this is configurable.
This is specially useful for mice that provide page up/down buttons instead
of a real wheel and that do not send events repeatedly from the hardware.
(E.g.: Logitech Marble Mouse.)

can be booted directly from Multiboot-compliant boot loaders (e.g. GRUB).
See the added multiboot(8) manual page for more information.
No objections in tech-kern@; only positive comments.
- Remove all NFS related stuff from file system specific code.
- Drop the vfs_checkexp hook and generalize it in the new nfs_check_export
function, thus removing redundancy from all file systems.
- Move all NFS export-related stuff from kern/vfs_subr.c to the new
file sys/nfs/nfs_export.c. The former was becoming large and its code
is always compiled, regardless of the build options. Using the latter,
the code is only compiled in when NFSSERVER is enabled. While doing this,
also make some functions in nfs_subs.c conditional to NFSSERVER.
- Add a new command in nfssvc(2), called NFSSVC_SETEXPORTSLIST, that takes a
path and a set of export entries. At the moment it can only clear the
exports list or append entries, one by one, but it is done in a way that
allows setting the whole set of entries atomically in the future (see the
comment in mountd_set_exports_list or in doc/TODO).
- Change mountd(8) to use the nfssvc(2) system call instead of mount(2) so
that it becomes file system agnostic. In fact, all this whole thing was
done to remove a 'XXX' block from this utility!
- Change the mount*, newfs and fsck* userland utilities to not deal with NFS
exports initialization; done internally by the kernel when initializing
the NFS support for each file system.
- Implement an interface for VFS (called VFS hooks) so that several kernel
subsystems can run arbitrary code upon receipt of specific VFS events.
At the moment, this only provides support for unmount and is used to
destroy NFS exports lists from the file systems being unmounted, though it
has room for extension.

was developed as part of Google's Summer of Code 2005 program. This
change adds the kernel code, the mount_tmpfs utility, a regression test
suite and does all other related changes to integrate these.
The file-system is still *experimental*. Therefore, it is disabled by
default in all kernels. However, as typically done, a commented-out
entry is added in them to ease its setup.
Note that I haven't commited the required mountd(8) changes to be able
to export tmpfs file-systems because NFS support is still very unstable
and because, before enabling it, I'd like to do some other changes.

images from "normal" into cloop2-format compressed images and back.
Written by Florian Stoehr (netbsd@wolfnode.de) with some polishing
by me.
Compressed disk images can be used with the vnd(4) driver when compiled with
VND_COMPRESSION and "vnconfig -z". Useful for creation of Live CDs/DVDs.
