commit 5b5307bf34277279c292599770c7241ebc6e1af6
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    [docs]: Update to reflect reversion of 12434c13.
    
    * ChangeLog: Remove no longer applicable chunks of 2021-04-15 entry
      regarding Savannah #59814.
    
    * NEWS: Revise item regarding presumed input language.
    
    * doc/groff.texi (Manipulating Hyphenation): As previous item, and
      remove LC_ALL and LANG entries from environment variable index.
    
    * man/groff_diff.7.man (Language/Extended requests) <hpf>: As NEWS item.
    * man/groff_tmac.5.man (Localization packages): As NEWS item.  Also
      undocument unusability of localization files with compatibility mode;
      the resolution of Savannah #60874 invalidated this caveat.

commit 7eb25c45b5ec67f1037abcc670793b734584987c
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
Date:   Fri Jul 9 03:51:38 2021 +1000

    tmac/troffrc: Load English localization file.
    
    * tmac/troffrc: Load the English localization file `en.tmac` by default,
      instead of dealing with hyphenation language and patterns directly in
      this file.  (This also replaces a localization-determination mechanism
      that was never part of a groff release.)

commit 3e9250fea4ab3e698cf7c2f903eaa4ed0fabf5c0
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
Date:   Fri Jul 9 03:40:04 2021 +1000

    [tests]: Test localization with `-m` option.
    
    * src/roff/groff/tests/initialization_is_quiet.sh:
    * src/roff/groff/tests/localization_works.sh: Rewrite test to use
      explicit macro file loading localization mechanism.
