* Support for terminal devices using the CCSID 1047 (EBCDIC) encoding
has been withdrawn.
+* groff's "configure" script now tries harder to determine an
+ appropriate paper format for the system; its output reports how it
+ reached its determination. Any existing "/etc/papersize" file is one
+ of the resources it consults.
