@@ -41,6 +41,15 @@ o The read-only registers `.m` and `.M` now interpolate "default" when
the default color is selected as the stroke or fill color,
respectively, rather than interpolating nothing.
+o The `device` request no longer reads its arguments in copy mode; this
+ change makes it more consistent with the `\X` device control command
+ escape sequence. This request also no longer emits a self-quoted
+ *roff escape character as itself, but instead as a backslash.
+ (troff's input and output languges are not the same thing.) These
+ changes are to enable postprocessors to reliably interpret device
+ control commands that wish to express arbitrary byte sequences. For
+ example, PDF bookmarks need to be expressed in UTF-16LE.
