Major version release notes



For detailed information about latest update go here

Version 2.0 Adds a whole range on new features compared with previous versions. Most important is the new integration with the IETF tools on-line diff service. NroffEdit now allows draft editors to check their drafts on the click of a single button against the latest published draft related to the document being edited. This also includes fully configurable FTP settings for publishing permanent URLs to diffs related to ongoing work for distribution on working group mailing lists etc.

Other important new features are:

  • Added support for the IETF reference library for automatic generation of reference text. This function is featured in the new empty.nroff template file. NroffEdit will build a complete reference list from a list of RFC numbers entered in a commented command line.
  • Automatic version detection (can be turned off) which informs about version updates
  • Update function for automatic download of latest RFC library and latest boilerplate files
  • An RFC reference search dialogue
  • Font style and size selection is added to the editing experience
  • Text styling of the converted text, including a warning if lines exceed 72 characters (marked in red).
  • Bug fixes in the Text to Nroff conversion algorithm
  • Bug fixes and upgrades to the functions of the page view window.

Version 2.01 provides some essential bug fixes to 2.0
