+.SH 2
+groff
+
+.ULS
+.LI
+XHTML support has been added to grohtml and can be specified by
+\-Txhtml.
+This option also utilizes the MathML capability of
+eqn and combines the outputs of both in the final XHTML file.
+Users can also specify the `\-P\-V' option together with `\-Txhtml'
+in groff.
+This has the effect of creating an XHTML validator
+button at the bottom of each page.
+
+.LI
+Some options have been added to control a new preprocessor,
+`preconv' (see below): `\-k' activates it, `\-K' sets the input
+encoding, and `\-D' sets the default encoding.
+
+.LI
+A new environment variable `GROFF_ENCODING' sets the encoding
+of input files; it implies command option `\-k'.
+.ULE
+.
+.
+.SH 2
+troff
+
+.ULS
+.LI
+Two new requests `device' and `devicem' have been added which are
+equivalents to the \eX and \eY escapes, respectively.
+
+.LI
+A new read-only number register `.br' is available which is set to\~1
+if a macro is called as .foo and to\~0 if called as 'foo.
+This allows to reliably modify requests.

+A new request `fzoom' has been added to adjust the optical size of a
+font in relation to the others.
+The zoom factor is given in integer multiples of 1/1000th.
+In the following example, the CR font is magnified by 10% (the zoom
+factor is 1.1).

+
+The new number register `.zoom' holds the zoom value of the current font,
+in multiples of 1/1000th.
+
+.LI
+The `cflags' request has been extended with a new flag value 64, to be
+used in combination with values\~2 (break before character) and\~4 (break
+after character).
+If set, the hyphenation codes of the surrounding characters are ignored.
+
+.LI
+A new debugging request, `pev', has been added to print all of the current
+known environments to stderr.
+It first prints the state of the current environment, then iterates
+through all of the known environments, printing each except the one that
+is current.
+
+.LI
+A new escape `\e$^' has been added.
+It represents the parameters of a macro as if they were an argument to
+the `ds' request.
+This is used by `trace.tmac'.
 
+.LI
+A new read-only number register `.O' is available which returns the
+current suppression level as set by the `\eO' escape.
+
+.LI
+The space width emitted by the `\e|' and `\e^' escape sequences can be
+controlled on a per-font basis.
+If there is a glyph named `\e|' or `\e^', respectively (note the leading
+backslash), defined in the current font file, use this glyph's width
+instead of the default value.
+
+This behaviour is not new, but hasn't been documented before.
+.ULE
+.

+.SH 2
+nroff
+
+.ULS
+.LI
+Two new command line options `\-w' and `\-W' are accepted and passed to
+groff to enable and disable warning messages, respectively.
+.ULE
+.
+.
+.SH 2
+preconv
+
+.ULS
+.LI
+This is a new preprocessor to convert various input encodings to something
+groff understands (this is, ASCII and \e[uXXXX] entities, with `XXXX' a
+hexadecimal number with 4 to 6 digits, representing a Unicode input code).
+Normally, preconv should be invoked with options `\-k' and `\-K' of groff.
+See the preconv man page for details.
+.ULE
+.
+.
+.SH 2
+pic
+
+.ULS
+.LI
+int(x) now really behaves as documented: It truncates the non-integer part
+of\~x, this is, it rounds towards zero and not towards the next integer
+less than or equal to\~x.
+
+.LI
+Pic now supports up to 32 macro arguments (and up to 16 on EBCDIC
+platforms).
+
+.LI
+Heinz-Jürgen Örtel contributed code for two new keywords, `xslanted' and
+`yslanted', which can change the shape of boxes into arbitrary
+parallelograms.
+.ULE
+.
+.
+.SH 2
+tbl
+
+.ULS
+.LI
+Latest versions of DWB tbl introduced an `x' column specifier for a single
+column expanded to the line width.
+GNU tbl has now been extended to support even multiple `x' specifiers
+within a table.
+
+.LI
+To avoid collision with the new `x' specifier, a block formatting macro
+must now be selected with specifier letter `m'.
+.ULE
+.
+.
+.SH 2
+eqn
+
+.ULS
+.LI
+Eric S. Raymond has added a new device type to eqn, MathML.
+When \-TMathML is enabled, eqn now emits MathML formula markup rather than
+groff commands.
+The new groff \-Txhtml device uses this.
+.ULE
+.
+.
+.SH 2
+chem
+
+.ULS
+.LI
+The preprocessor `chem' was added.
+`chem' is a roff language to generate chemical structure diagrams.
+It generates `pic' output.
+.ULE
+.
+.
+.SH 2
+grops
+
+.ULS
+.LI
+The PS font definition files have been regenerated with newer AFM versions
+from Adobe's 35 core fonts as present in most Level\~2 PS printers.
+The changes are minor (most notably, the addition of the `Euro' glyph and an
+extended set of kerning values).
+
+For backwards compatibility, the old set of font definition files is still
+available; for details please read the man page of grops.

+macro packages
+
+.ULE
+.LI
+Joachim Walsdorff contributed the `hdtbl' package for the generation of
+tables, using a syntax very similar to the HTML table model.
+For example, a table with two cells and two rows looks like this:
+
+.in 2m
+.nf
+.ft C 
+\&.TBL cols=2
+\&.  TR .TD 1*1 .TD 1*2
+\&.  TR .TD 2*1 .TD 2*2
+\&.ETB
+.ft P
+.fi
+.in
+
+Here the same table using a more expanded syntax:
+
+
+.in 2m
+.nf
+.ft C 
+\&.TBL cols=2
+\&.  TR
+\&.    TD 1*1
+\&.    TD 1*2
+\&.  TR
+\&.    TD 2*1
+\&.    TD 2*2
+\&.ETB
+.ft P
+.fi
+.in
+
+Tables can be nested; `hdtbl' works without a preprocessor so that the
+full capability of groff's macro engine is available.
+
+This package currently works with `-Tps' only.
+
+.LI
+\-mandoc now supports multiple man pages (in either man or mdoc format).
+
+.LI
+Fabrice Ménard contributed locales support.
+In particular, it is now possible to get French localization of the main
+macro packages (\-ms, \-mm, \-me, and \-mom, but not \-man and \-mdoc
+which are localized differently) by appending `-mfr' to the list of macro
+packages.
+Example:
+
+.in 2m
+.ft C
+.nf
+groff \-ms \-mfr foo > foo.ps
+.fi
+.ft P
+.in
+
+Note that latin-9 input encoding is used for French (to support the `oe'
+ligature).
+
+.LI
+Swedish macro localization (with `\-msv') has been added.
+
+.LI
+German macro localization (with `\-mde' and `\-mden' for traditional and
+new orthography, respectively) has been added.
+
+.LI
+Czech macro localization (with `\-mcs') has been added.
+
+Note that latin-2 input encoding is used for Czech.
+
+.LI
+A new macro `Dx' has been added to the mdoc package which identifies the
+DragonFly OS.
+
+.LI
+If mdoc is used to print multiple man pages (together with the \-rcR=0
+command line option), each man page now starts a new page.
+
+.LI
+\-mtrace has been considerably improved, now showing number and string
+register assignments, among other things.
+See the groff_trace man page for details.
+
+.LI
+The PSPIC macro now works with all devices (producing a hollow
+rectangle on devices which don't support inclusion of PS images) and
+is loaded in troffrc at start-up.
+
+.LI
+A new auxiliary macro package `62bit' has been added which provides some
+macros for adding, multiplying, and dividing signed 62bit integers (mainly
+to handle normal groff number operations without risking overflow errors).
+
+.LI
+For \-ms, Eric S. Raymond contributed support for ancient Bell Labs
+localisms `.SC', `.UC', `.P1', and `.P2'.
+The latter three are enabled only after .SC is called.
+
+.LI
+A new string, `SN-STYLE', has been added to the ms macros, controlling
+the formatting of section numbers in headings defined by `.NH'.
+
+.LI
+The new macro package `ptx' provides a template definition for the `.xx'
+macro as needed by GNU ptx (for creating permuted indices).
