Changes
=======
+Release candidate 4 resolves portability problems on 64-bit AIX and
+64-bit MinGW, with FreeBSD/NetBSD/AIX make(1), and with the Sun C
+compiler; improves the fallback used in groff's man pages to keep them
+rendering on systems that don't implement the new `MR` man(7) macro;
+makes generation of the distribution archive less dependent on the build
+configuration; makes the automated tests more robust and revealing;
+improves configuration checking for URW font availability; and updates
+the documentation.

Caveats
=======
+o A defect in GNU diffutils 3.9 (January 2023) causes gdiffmk to
+ malfunction and its automated test to fail. See
+ <https://debbugs.gnu.org/db/61/61193.html>.
+
o GNU tools, or otherwise POSIX-conforming ones, are generally required
to build on Solaris 10 or 11. See the "PROBLEMS" file in the
distribution archive.
-o A failure in automated testing occurs (if you run "make check") for
- gdiffmk if GNU diffutils 3.9 is used. This is a known problem with
- that release; see <https://debbugs.gnu.org/db/61/61193.html>.
-
o Solaris 10 has known problems with automated tests; see the "PROBLEMS"
file in the distribution archive.
