[xmlroff] [ANN] xmlroff 0.3.8 -- Stability and error handling

[Tony G. <Ton...@Su...>]

xmlroff 0.3.8 is now available from the new-look
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlroff.

xmlroff 0.3.8 is more stable since it now correctly handles areas too big to
fit on the page and fixes the bug that Stefan found after that.

Error handling is improved since xmlroff now stops at the first error instead
of continuing.

Stopping at the first error means fewer segfaults, which should please most
people.  I will be adding an option to xmlroff to continue processing after an
error occurs, since it is more useful to me to have it do that.

There will not be an xmlroff release "on or about" 1st January since I will be
on vacation in Japan.

Regards,


Tony.
