Hi folks,

Assuming we don't get hit with _another_ blitz of security (or
"security") issues, I plan to tag 1.25.0 final this coming Thursday, 5
November.

I've received no feedback on RC4.  All I can say is that it "distcheck"s
fine on my amd64 GNU/Linux system with GCC 12 and Clang 14, building
in-tree and out-of-tree, with GNU Make and with the variety of BSD Make
that Debian packages and calls "bmake".

It also "make check"s on Solaris 11.4.96.227.1 (!) using GCC 16.1 and
Solaris Make (/usr/bin/make).

I'll still be pushing the usual fixes to documentation and diagnostic
messages before tagging.  Here's what I have queued up:

c68021c35 (HEAD -> master) [troff]: pev reports align/adjust more helpfully.

Peter and I have each cheated on the code freeze a little.  8-O

Deri has not, and has some significant gropdf goodies in queue, as
followers of the bug-groff list might know.

I look forward to starting the 1.26 cycle.[1]  I hope to release 1.26.0
about 6 months after 1.25.0.

Regards,
Branden
