* New in Skribilo 0.9.3

** HTML engine: all the footnotes are emitted for single-file documents

Previously, only the footnotes of the last chapter or section would be
output.

** HTML engine: each footnote is enclosed in <div class="footnote">

Previously, each footnote was surrounded by <br> and </br>.  The above
change should make CSS customization easier.

** HTML engine: footnote HTML is now valid

It used to be that footnote HTML code contained an extraneous </div>,
and nested <a> tags, which is invalid.

** acmproc: Fix typos in the LaTeX engine customs
** `ref' warnings now always print the location of erroneous `:bib' references
** `numref' inserts an unbreakable space (was a breakable space) after its `:text'

* New in Skribilo 0.9.2

** Skribilo is now distributed under GPLv3 or later

Previous versions were under of GPLv2 or later.

** Improved configure-time diagnostics
** `skribilo' now displays a call stack trace upon error when possible
** `skribilo' now installs the user-specified locale
** New `--custom' compiler option
** Using `(image :url ...)' with `lout' yields a warning, not an error
** New `rss-2' input syntax, for RSS 2.0 feeds
** New Info engine, to produce `.info' files browseable with Emacs
** New `:info-node' option for `chapter', `section', etc.
** HTML engine: footnotes now yield hyperlinks back to the call site
** HTML engine: footnotes are properly printed for same-file chapters

Previously, footnotes would not get printed in the case of chapters that
are not output in a separate file.

** HTML engine: use ". " as the default chapter number-title separator
** HTML engine: the `charset' custom changes the output encoding (on Guile 2.0)
** Lout/LaTeX engine: new `encoding' custom
** Lout engine: `lout-illustration' calls the `inline-definitions-proc' custom
** Improved rendering of pie charts with Ploticus
** On Guile 2.0, modules are compiled and `.go' files are installed
** Improve internationalization of informative and error messages
** New test suite (run "make check")
** Various documentation fixes, improvements, and additions

* New in Skribilo 0.9.1

** Improved `configure' diagnostics and build/installation fixes

Thanks to Barrie Stott!

** Various documentation fixes, improvements and additions

Notably, examples no longer use the legacy Skribe API and the ConTeXt
engine is now documented.

** Emacs mode no longer depends on Bigloo UDE
** Guile warnings about duplicate bindings are now hidden

These harmless warnings looked like:

  WARNING: (skribilo ast): imported module (srfi srfi-34) overrides core binding `raise'

** The `slide' package supports additional customs

Namely, `slide-outline-title' and
`slide-outline-{active,inactive}-color'.  See manual for details.

** The `:toc' option of `slide' determines whether to include it in the outline
** New option `:rulecolor' for `table'
** New `--sui-path' command-line option, new `*sui-path*' parameter
** Fix SUI `:ident' references
** Use more SRFI-34/35 exception handling instead of `skribe-error'
** Lesser reliance on recursive make


* New in Skribilo 0.9.0 (user-visible changes compared to Skribe 1.2d)

** New engine: `lout' (see http://lout.sf.net/).

** New packages

  - `eq' for equation formatting.
  - `pie' for pie charts.
  - `diff' for document diff (experimental).
  - `web-book2' for on-line publishing.

** New markups in the `base' package

  `~', `breakable-space', `numref', `!lout', `lout-illustration'.

** Extended markups in the `base' package

   - `footnote' now takes a `:label' option.
   - `document' now takes a `:keywords' option.	
   - `bibliography' now takes a `:labels' option.

** New `outline' front-end (see the `--reader' option of `skribilo')

** New module system (actually that of GNU Guile), no `skribe-load'

  Just like modules help structure programs, they are useful for
  documents: Skribilo documents are not second-class programs.  Also,
  by default, Skribilo documents have fewer bindings in their name
  space than Skribe documents.

  For compatibility with Skribe, see the `--compat=skribe'
  command-line option.

** Little or no global state

  Per-document data structures (e.g., per-document node identifier
  hash table) or SRFI-39 parameters (e.g., `*document-path*') are used
  where appropriate, which introduces API changes.

  Use `--compat=skribe' for compatibility with Skribe.

** Stricter document structure

  In Skribe, if the engine allowed it, it was possible to use
  `section' instead of `chapter' as the top-level section type.  The
  `latex' engine, consequently, has a new custom named
  `class-has-chapters?'.

** Unique node identifiers

  No two nodes within a document can have the same identifier (`:ident'
  parameter).  Duplicate identifiers are reported as an error.

** Bug fixes

  Most notably in the `resolve' subsystem.

** New build system

** Last but not least: New name!  :-)
