7James Clark has written (11 Aug 1997):
8>Frankly I don't known when I'm going to be able to do another groff
9>release. At the moment, I have no time, no Unix machine, and not a lot
10>of interest in doing it. If anybody else wants to take over groff
11>maintenance, that would be fine with me. Last time I asked in
12>gnu.groff.bug, nobody volunteered.
| 12Finally, there are new maintainers for groff. Mailing lists and a CVS
13repository are available also. See the file README for details. Not
14all reported bug could be fixed, so please send mails again if
15something is still not working.

14This means groff is an orphan. It is looking for a maintainer.
| 17Most of the installation problems should have vanished now (most
18notably the $(tmac_wrap) bug).

| 20There is now a man page called groff_man.man which documents the
21basics of the -man macros. It has been originally written by Susan
22G. Kleinmann <sgk@debian.org>.
23
24A (still incomplete) groff reference manual in texinfo format
25originally contributed by Trent A. Fisher <trent@gnurd.portland.or.us>.
26
27me.man and msafer.man have been renamed to groff_me.man
28resp. groff_msafer.man for consistency.
29
30Default strings for macros in doc-common resp. tmac.an no longer
31contain the word `UNIX'.
32
33groff should now be Y2k safe (fixes contributed by Paul Eggert
34<eggert@twinsun.com>).
35
36Following the GNU standards, groff will now use the prefix
37`/usr/local/' as the default instead of replacing an existent groff
38binary.
39
40groff, troff, nroff, and pic now support the -U flag to activate unsafe
41behaviour (without -msafer); the -S flag for using the -msafer macros
42is now the default.

44Grohtml
45-------
46
47This is a new output device for producing HTML output contributed by
48Gaius Mulley <gaius@glam.ac.uk>. It is still very alpha but has been
49included into the distribution so that a lot of people have a chance
50to test it. Bug reports are highly welcome.

16Complete documentation for pic is now in the file doc/pic.ms. It was
17contributed by Eric S. Raymond, <esr@thyrsus.com>, who is emphatically
18*not* volunteering to take over groff as he is way overworked with
19half a dozen other projects.
