-VERSION 1.21.1
-==============
+
+VERSION 1.22
+============
Groff
-----
o A new option `-j' has been added to call the `chem' preprocessor.
+Tbl
+---
+
+o Improved line numbering support.
+
Macro Packages
--------------
o Support for the `refer' preprocessor has been added to the -mm macro
package.
-o Bugs in the support for the `n1' and `n2' requests in the -me package were
- fixed that caused extra line numbers to be added to text in floats and
- diversion environments, as well as equations and pic-style pictures.
+o In -me, the `TH' macro was changed for compatibility with line number
+ support in tables.
+
+ `bl' now works inside of blocks.
+
+ The behaviour of centered blocks has been improved.
+
+ Line numbering support has been improved.
+
+o The -mom macro package has reached version 2.0, focusing on PDF output
+ with gropdf (using the new `pdfmom' wrapper script). See the file
+ `version-2.html' of the -mom documentation for a list of the many changes.
+
+o Some generic Unicode fallback characters (mainly Roman numerals) have been
+ added.
+
+Gropdf
+------
+
+o A new driver for generating PDF output directly, contributed by Deri James
+ <deri@chuzzlewit.myzen.co.uk>. Note that this driver is written in Perl,
+ thus you need a working Perl installation to run this output device.
+
+Pdfmom
+------
- The `TH' macro was changed for compatibility with line number support in
- tables.
+o A new wrapper around groff that facilitates the production of PDF
+ documents from files formatted with the -mom macros.
