Changelog for man-2.11.2-1.8.x86_64.rpm :

* Fri Sep 08 2023 antonio.teixeiraAATTsuse.com- Add man-db-groff-1.23.0-warnings.patch
* Fix build errors with groff 1.23.0
* Sat Aug 26 2023 avinesh.kumarAATTsuse.com- Fix the content in patch file man-propose-online.patch
* Tue Aug 15 2023 wernerAATTsuse.de- Update to 2.11.2:
* Fix compile and test failures when `troff` is not `groff`.
* Fix segfault in typical uses of `man` when `nroff` is not installed.
* Fix crash in `mandb` when processing stray cats.
* SECURITY: Replace `$` characters in page names with `?` when constructing `less` prompts.
* Silence error message when processing an empty manual page hierarchy with a nonexistent cache directory.
* `man(1)` now sorts whatis references below real pages, even if the whatis references are from a section with higher priority.
* `mandb` now correctly records filters in the database if it uses cached whatis information.
* Upgrade Gnulib, fixing syntax error on glibc systems with GCC 11.
* The `CATWIDTH` configuration file directive now overrides `MINCATWIDTH` and `MAXCATWIDTH`.
* Database entries for links were often incorrectly stored as if they were entries for the ultimate source of the page. They are now stored with the correct type.
* Store links in the database using the section and extension of the link rather than of the ultimate source file.
* Consider pages for adding to the database even if they seem to already exist; this performance optimization is no longer needed due to caching, and it produced inconsistent results in some unusual cases.
* `man` now runs any required preprocessors in the same order that `groff` does, rather than trusting the order of filters in a page\'s preprocessor string.
* Fix building on MinGW. (I haven\'t been able to test this; help from MinGW experts would be welcome.) Improvements:
* Check for stray cats even if no manual pages in a given manpath were changed.
* Add section `3type` to the default section list just after `2`. This is used by the Linux man-pages package.
* Recognize more Hungarian translations of the `NAME` section.
* Add more recognized case variants for localized versions of the `NAME` section.
* Maintain multi keys in sorted order, improving database reproducibility.
* Pick a more consistent name for the target of a whatis entry in the database.
* Extend rules for when to replace one database entry with another, producing more stable behaviour.
* Fully reorganize databases after writing them, allowing the reproduction of bitwise-identical databases regardless of scan order (at least with GDBM).- Port patches
* man-db-2.6.3-chinese.dif
* man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif
* man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif
* man-db-2.9.4-alternitive.dif
* man-db-2.9.4-no-chown.patch
* man-db-2.9.4.patch
* man-propose-online.patch
* Thu May 25 2023 wernerAATTsuse.de- Remove harden_man-db.service.patch as already done upstream at the end of the service file man-db.service
* Mon Apr 03 2023 dimstarAATTopensuse.org- Add man-propose-online.patch: if patch was not found locally, propose to read it online, offering a URL where it could possibly be found.
* Tue Aug 23 2022 wernerAATTsuse.de- Corrrect some offsets of patch hunks- Remove change in get-mtime.c as mandb-symlink-target-timestamp now catch the random format changes
* Mon Aug 22 2022 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 2.10.2:
* Regenerating man-db\'s build system now explicitly requires Automake >= 1.14. (This was already the case since at least man-db 2.10.0, but was previously undocumented.)
* Make `man -H` sleep for a few seconds after starting the browser, since it may background itself before loading files (Dr. Werner Fink).
* If an override directory is configured using `--with-override-dir`, it is now applied more consistently when building the manpath, and whether a page was found in an override directory is considered when sorting candidates for display (Mihail Konev).
* Make the man-db manual build reproducible.
* Add some hardening options to the `systemd` service.
* `configure` now has a `--with-snapdir` option, for use on systems where `snapd` is configured to use a directory other than `/snap`.
* Fix occasional `mandb-symlink-target-timestamp` test failure.
* Fix inadvertent reliance on a GCC extension that caused build failures with Clang.
* Fix building without `iconv`.- drop man-db-2.7.1-firefox.dif (upstream)
* Thu Aug 18 2022 wernerAATTsuse.de- Avoid that mandb-symlink-target-timestamp fools us
* Thu Aug 18 2022 wernerAATTsuse.de- Workaround missing groff-full to get refer(1), the bibliographic preprocessor found
* Thu Aug 18 2022 wernerAATTsuse.de- Update to man-db 2.10.0 (4 February 2022)
* Manpath deduplication no longer mishandles the case where another entry in the manpath is a suffix of a candidate path to append.
* Fix potential crash in path searching if `getcwd` fails for reasons other than running out of memory.
* Fix crash in `globbing` test tool if run with no non-option arguments.
* `lexgrog` now produces output in the user\'s locale.
* Downgrade \"malformed .lf request\" warning to a debug message and rephrase it somewhat, since `.lf` requests can use `
*roff` arithmetic expressions and we can\'t reasonably parse those.
* Avoid modifying the database without changing its mtime, which had been possible since 2.7.0 if `mandb`\'s purge phase found work to do but the main phase didn\'t, and which confused some backup systems into reporting possible filesystem corruption.
* `man` no longer inadvertently modifies the `MANSECT` environment variable before passing it on to its subprocesses.
* `mandb` now stores the mtime of link targets as the mtime of their corresponding database entries, rather than sometimes storing the mtime of the link instead.
* Since man-db 2.4.2, `man` has behaved as if the `-l` option was given if a manual page argument contains a slash. Since man-db 2.5.6, this has interacted slightly poorly with the subpage feature, emitting spurious error messages if given multiple manual page arguments some of which include a slash. `man` no longer emits spurious error messages in this case.
* Reduce overhead of `MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1` compared to building without `libseccomp`.
* Document `MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP` and `PIPELINE_DEBUG` environment variables in `man(1)`.
* Add `man-pages(7)` reference to `man(1)`.
* Recognize Arabic and Persian translations of the `NAME` section.
* Delay the `systemd` timer using `RandomizedDelaySec`, so that multiple containers/VMs on the same host are less prone to running `mandb` all at the same time.
* Significantly improve `mandb(8)` and `man -K` performance in the common case where pages are of moderate size and compressed using `zlib`: `mandb - c` goes from 344 seconds to 10 seconds on a test system.- Remove patch man-db-2.7.1-security4.dif as now upstream creates any missing database- Remove gnulib-ppc64le.patch as gnulib is uptodate even on ppc64le- Port patches

* Mon May 31 2021 rpmAATTfthiessen.de- Update to version 2.9.4:
* Add support for zstd-compressed manual pages
* Recognise Esperanto, Romanian, Tamil, and Ukrainian translations of the NAME section.
* Fix handling of \\- in the right-hand side of a NAME section.
* Treat \"\\[en]\" (etc.) as another synonym for \"\\-\" in NAME sections, alongside the existing \"\\(en\" (etc.).
* Avoid incorrect markup in man(1) with po4a >= 0.58.
* Fix manual page translation infrastructure to compare po4a versions with more than two components correctly.
* Fix \"man -X75-12\" and \"man -X100-12\" to set the document font size as well as the device
* Fix incompatibility of \"man -X\" and friends with the seccomp sandbox.
* man --recode and manconv now adjust encoding declarations on the first line of their input to refer to the new encoding.
* There is a new \"man-recode\" program. Which has an interface designed for bulk conversion and so can be much faster when used on a large number of pages.
* Fix comparison of candidate manual pages to correctly handle the case where the language elements are the same and match the locale, but the territory elements differ.
* If run with no arguments or only a section, man now suggests running \"man man\".
* man now understands the (
) form on its command line, so for example \"man \'chmod(2)\'\" is now the same as \"man 2 chmod\".
* manconv now guesses the input encoding based on the file name if it is not explicitly specified.
* Further workarounds for ESET File Security: allow sendmsg when it is in use.
* If more than one of \"../man\", \"man\", \"../share/man\", and \"share/man\" exist relative to a directory on $PATH, then all of them are now added to the automatically-determined manpath
* Remove arbitrary limit on manpath size.
* Fix several resource and memory leaks.
* Ship a systemd timer to perform daily database maintenance.
* Fix segfaults in mandb.- Drop our systemd timer in favor of upstream provided one- Drop unused mancoding- Drop upstream fixed man-db-2.6.3-section.dif- Merge man-MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT-man1.dif into man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif as first one is only the documentation of the latter one- Seperate man-db-2.9.4-no-chown.patch from man-db-2.8.4.dif- Update man-db-2.8.4.dif, now called man-db-2.9.4.patch- Update man-db-2.6.3-man0.dif to be used inside prep section- Refresh man-db-2.7.1-security4.dif, man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif

* Sun Aug 30 2020 antoine.belvireAATTopensuse.org- Fix usage of update-alternatives (boo#1175919).
* Thu Aug 27 2020 lnusselAATTsuse.de- Don\'t recommend groff-full to avoid pulling in ghostscript etc. groff-full installs itself when there\'s groff and ghostscript-library installed.
* Thu Aug 27 2020 wernerAATTsuse.de- Set libexecdir at build time for wrapper (boo#1175813)- Do the same in mandb.service
* Mon Jun 15 2020 wernerAATTsuse.de- Allow user man to execute the do_mandb script (boo#1172876)
* Fri Jun 05 2020 wernerAATTsuse.de- Switch to user:group man:man within mandb.service (boo#1172575)

* Sun Nov 03 2019 wernerAATTsuse.de- Use %{_prefix}/lib for tmpfiles.d directory to avoid to get this nonexecutable location below new location of %{_libexecdir}
* Tue Jun 11 2019 dimstarAATTopensuse.org- BuildRequire pkgconfig(systemd) instead of systemd: allow OBS to shortcut the build queues by allowing usage of systemd-mini
* Tue Apr 30 2019 wernerAATTsuse.de- Make systemd timers and services optional but hold them enabled as maybe in future all packages providing manual pages might use a posttrans scriplet to trigger a refresh of the man db (boo#1133762).
* Tue Apr 30 2019 lnusselAATTsuse.de- remove %verify(not group) from /var/cache/man, the inconsistent permissions are fixed in the permissions package (boo#1133678)
* Fri Mar 08 2019 wernerAATTsuse.de- Ah ... yes, manual pages are also provides by e.g. mandoc
* Thu Mar 07 2019 wernerAATTsuse.de- Skip %verify(not link mtime) from symbolic links %_bindir even if those should not hurt but avoid superfluous verify messages
* Wed Mar 06 2019 wernerAATTsuse.de- Minor corrections on %ghost /var/cache/man and link to apropos
* Wed Mar 06 2019 wernerAATTsuse.de- Use update-alternatives to allow that man(1), apropos(1), whatis(1) can be overwritten by an other package like mandoc- Reintroduce wrapper for man(1) but without mapping to user man to be able to reset the PATH to the standard for any preprocessor
* Mon Nov 26 2018 wernerAATTsuse.de- Update to man-db 2.8.4
* Major changes since man-db 2.8.3: + Rely on decompressors reading from their standard input rather than redundantly passing them the input file on their command line. This works better with downstream AppArmor confinement of decompressors. + Fix invalid syntax in tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf when configured with - -disable-cache-owner. + Make seccomp sandbox allow sched_getaffinity, sometimes used by xz. + Check for mandb_nfmt and mandb_tfmt in the manual page hierarchy as documented, not in the current directory. This was broken by the working-directory-handling changes in 2.8.3. Note that this change means that \"man -l\" will never use an external formatter (which was never documented behaviour and was surely a bad idea). + Make seccomp sandbox allow some shared memory operations across the board rather than just when ESET File Security is in use; the Astrill VPN seems to require something similar, and there are doubtless other such preload hacks. + Some versions of ESET File Security call msgget and msgsnd; if this program is in use, then allow those.
* Major changes since man-db 2.8.2: + Make seccomp sandbox allow madvise, since that\'s used by lbzip2. + Make seccomp sandbox allow kill and tgkill outright, since groff uses kill to pass on signals to its child processes. + Make seccomp sandbox allow sibling architectures on x86/x86_64/x32, since people sometimes mix and match architectures there for performance reasons. + Fix version check in locale macro loading to tolerate groff release candidates. + man now only changes working directory in child processes, so never fails due to being unable to change back to its original working directory. + accessdb, apropos, and lexgrog no longer emit spurious gettext headers in their --help output when localised.
* Major changes since man-db 2.8.1: + Make seccomp sandbox allow kill and tgkill when the signal is directed at the current process or one of its threads; this is needed by xz. + Make seccomp sandbox allow ioctl(fd, TIOCGWINSZ), since that\'s used by musl. + Work around the proprietary \"ESET File Security\" antivirus program in seccomp sandbox: if this is in use then we need to allow some socket-related system calls. + Work around the \"snoopy\" execve() wrapper and logger in seccomp sandbox: if this is in use then we need to allow some socket-related system calls. + Interpret EFAULT from seccomp_load as meaning that seccomp is unavailable, since this can be returned by some versions of qemu-user.
* Major changes since man-db 2.8.0: + Fix seccomp sandbox build on Linux/POWER. + Fix manconv execution under seccomp when man is installed setuid. + Make seccomp sandbox allow mremap (used by iconv, for example). + configure now has a --without-libseccomp option to disable the use of seccomp even if the library is available.
* Major changes since man-db 2.7.6.1: + Fix locale macro loading for Chinese to load the macro file corresponding to just the language part of the user\'s locale. + Honour --enable-cache-owner in generated systemd tmpfiles snippet rather than hardcoding \"man\". + If man adds prefixes to a page to handle such things as disabling hyphenation, then take account of those when looking for a preprocessor line at the start of the page. + Fix a segfault in \'man -D --help\'. + Treat \"\\(en\" as another synonym for \"\\-\" in NAME sections. + Confine most subprocesses that handle untrusted data using seccomp. This mainly deals with subprocesses that perform encoding conversions, (de)compressors, groff programs, and a few other odds and ends. groff programs use a slightly more permissive filter since they need to create temporary files, so additional path-based confinement (e.g. using AppArmor) is still useful. If this goes wrong, then MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1 can be set in the environment to disable it, but please report any such problem as a bug. + man now falls back to cat if the compile-time default pager is not executable.
* Major changes since man-db 2.7.6: + Don\'t chmod CACHEDIR.TAG if it doesn\'t exist. + Correct installation of Swedish manual pages.- Modify the patches
* man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif
* man-db-2.6.3-man0.dif
* man-db-2.6.3-section.dif
* man-db-2.7.1-firefox.dif

* Mon Apr 16 2018 wernerAATTsuse.de- Skip cron job for cleaning /var/cache/man as there exists /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf
* Thu Dec 07 2017 kukukAATTsuse.de- Add man-db-create.service to fill /var/cache/man at bootup if the directory is empty (required by FHS and for transactional updates).- Don\'t fill /var/cache/man if it does not exist yet (needed for transactional updates).- We don\'t need to package /var/cache/man, systemd-tmpfiles is creating it already for us.
* Wed Nov 29 2017 wernerAATTsuse.de- Make /var/cache/man a real directory as in system-user-man the directory is gone
* Thu Nov 23 2017 rbrownAATTsuse.com- Replace references to /var/adm/fillup-templates with new %_fillupdir macro (boo#1069468)

* Sat Jan 21 2017 kukukAATTsuse.com- Require user and group man
* Fri Dec 16 2016 wernerAATTsuse.de- Update to version 2.7.6
* Many bug fixes
* man understands the .
form on its command line, so for example \'man chmod.2\' is now the same as \'man 2 chmod\' (Contributed by Mihail Konev)
* Document that \'man -K\' searches page source, not rendered text- Rename patch man-db-2.7.1.dif which becomes man-db-2.7.6.dif- Port the patches man-MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT-man1.dif man-db-2.6.3-chinese.dif man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif man-db-2.6.3-section.dif man-db-2.7.1-firefox.dif man-db-2.7.1-security4.dif man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif- Add an rpmlintrc file man-rpmlintrc as we apply a patch on generated manual pages- Do not wrap man anymore (boo#986211)
* Fri Jun 24 2016 wernerAATTsuse.de- Give man(1) command a home that is let pager less(1) handle its history (boo#986211)
* Mon Mar 21 2016 bwiedemannAATTsuse.com- Add reproducible.patch to fix build-compare (bnc#971922)
* Mon Jun 08 2015 wernerAATTsuse.de- Allow root to use man command within its home
* Fri May 29 2015 wernerAATTsuse.de- Own /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d if not owned by package filesystem
* Thu May 28 2015 wernerAATTsuse.de- Update to version 2.7.1 For the first time since version 2.4.0, the database format has changed slightly, so you will need to run \'mandb --create\' after installing the new version to rebuild your databases from scratch.- Fixes
* Various portability fixes for Solaris, contributed by Peter Bray.
* man now runs correctly when its current working directory has been deleted. (As a result of this fix, man-db now requires libpipeline >= 1.4.0.)
* \'man -a\' sends its prompts to /dev/tty rather than to stderr, and likewise reads replies from /dev/tty rather than from stdin.
* Be more careful to avoid using or double-closing closed database handles. Fixes test suite failures on some systems.
* Patch the fdutimens function imported from Gnulib to work around a libc bug in GNU/Hurd.
* Fix test suite in the case where the system supports high-precision timestamps but the file system containing the build directory does not.
* lexgrog now filters terminal escape sequences out of cat pages before trying to parse them.
* Tools that consider the terminal line length now prioritise the COLUMNS environment variable above the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl.
* Manpath elements are no longer canonicalised before being inserted into the search path; this caused the use of incorrect catpaths in some cases. This was broken by the LANGUAGE-handling fixes in 2.5.4.
* Remove test suite dependency on realpath(1).
* Fix a test failure when configured with --enable-undoc.
* Run the pager in man\'s original working directory rather than in the manual hierarchy. (As a result of this fix, man-db now requires libpipeline >= 1.3.0.)
* mandb only creates a cache directory tag if the catpath is different from the manpath, since it should only be created in directories that consist entirely of cached information.- Improvements
* Ship a systemd tmpfiles snippet to clean up old cat files after a week.
* The modification time of manual databases is now simply stored in the mtime of the database files themselves, rather than using a special row. This makes databases reproducible between otherwise-identical installations, as long as the underlying database has predictable behaviour. As a bonus, man-db now uses high-precision timestamps to determine whether it needs to update databases.
* Timestamps of manual pages are also now stored in the database with high precision and compared accordingly.
* Files are now ordered by first physical extent before reading them, for substantial performance improvements in operations such as mandb and \'man -K\'.
* \'man -H\' shows a better error message if no browser is configured.
* zsoelim is now installed in $pkglibexecdir, to avoid clashes with other packages.- Rename patches man-db-2.6.5-firefox.dif becomes man-db-2.7.1-firefox.dif man-db-2.6.5-security4.dif becomes man-db-2.7.1-security4.dif man-db-2.6.5-zio.dif becomes man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif man-db-2.6.5.dif becomes man-db-2.7.1.dif
* Thu Jul 31 2014 wernerAATTsuse.de- The former change had added the patch man-MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT-man1.dif
* Tue Jul 29 2014 auxsvrAATTgmail.com- Added description of MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT in man.man1, patch man-MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT-man1.dif (bnc#786679)
* Tue Jun 10 2014 wernerAATTsuse.de- Avoid messages on deleted cache directories bewlow /var/cache/man/ that is tag them as %ghost (bnc#882030)- The former submit had rebased the patches man-db-2.6.3.dif man-db-2.6.3-security4.dif man-db-2.6.3-firefox.dif man-db-2.6.3-zio.dif which now had renamed to man-db-2.6.5.dif man-db-2.6.5-security4.dif man-db-2.6.5-firefox.dif man-db-2.6.5-zio.dif accordingly
* Tue Apr 08 2014 sweet_f_aAATTgmx.de- Update to version 2.6.6- Fixes since 2.6.3:
* man(1) and catman(8) now document the default section list set at configure time.
* Build fixes for Automake 1.13.
* man-db 2.6.0 arranged to search the full manpath when expanding .so directives in manual pages (so that \".so name.1\" works as well as \".so man1/name.1\"), but this incorrectly did not take effect for manual pages that consist only of a .so directive. This is now fixed.- Improvements since 2.6.3:
* The MANLESS environment variable is now treated as if it were a default value for the -r option to man: occurrences of the text \"$MAN_PN\" are expanded, and explicitly using the -r option overrides the default.
* The (unfortunately still hardcoded) maximum length for paths to manual page hierarchies in the configuration file is now 511 characters rather than 49.
* MANPATH entries now undergo glob(7)-style wildcard expansion, allowing entries such as \"/opt/
*/man\".- Fixes since 2.6.4:
* man\'s --warnings option works again on systems with versions of groff that support it (broken in 2.6.4).
* man automatically falls back to C.UTF-8 and then en_GB.UTF-8 if trying to find a UTF-8 locale on a system without /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED.- Fixes since 2.6.5:
* apropos\'s --and option now works again; it was broken by the optimisations in 2.6.2.
* Restore compatibility with Automake 1.10.
* Improve support for translation of common elements of help messages.
* Don\'t issue error messages when the database refers to a page that no longer exists.
* Pass macro and hyphenation language tags to groff again (broken in 2.6.5).- Improvements since 2.6.5:
* ./configure --with-override-dir=OVERRIDE arranges to look for manual pages in DIR/OVERRIDE before each path element DIR.- rebase following patches:
* man-db-2.6.3.dif
* man-db-2.6.3-security4.dif
* man-db-2.6.3-firefox.dif
* man-db-2.6.3-zio.dif- enable checks
* Thu Sep 12 2013 mvyskocilAATTsuse.com- Recommends groff-full to reduce dependencies (bnc#839717)
* Mon Jun 17 2013 wernerAATTsuse.de- Just be able to print manual pages, that is require groff-full- Be second owner of /usr/share/groff/site-tmac
* Mon Apr 22 2013 meissnerAATTsuse.com- remove japanese manpages
* Tue Apr 16 2013 mmeisterAATTsuse.com- Added url as source. Please see http://en.opensuse.org/SourceUrls
* Mon Oct 29 2012 wernerAATTsuse.de- Make shadowed manual pages accessible (bnc#786679)
* Tue Oct 09 2012 wernerAATTsuse.de- Avoid double free of pointer internal_locale due dup onto pointer lang
* Thu Oct 04 2012 wernerAATTsuse.de- Update to version 2.6.3
* Build fixes for glibc 2.16 and Automake 1.12.
* apropos prints an error message and returns non-zero when it finds no matches. (Regression introduced in 2.5.1.)
* The presence of a 64-bit GDBM database on the manpath no longer causes a 32-bit man process to exit with a fatal error.
* apropos is much faster when run with many arguments.
* whatis may be given the full path to an executable as an argument, in which case it will look up the base name of that executable in the appropriate parts of the manpath.
* Translated manual pages are no longer displayed starting with a spurious blank line.
* Fix double-free in mandb when encountering a symlink outside the manual hierarchy, thanks to Peter Schiffer.
* Running \'man -w\' (with a new --path alias) without a name now prints the manpath, for compatibility with other man implementations. The vim viewdoc plugin makes use of this.
* Fix a segfault when scanning links to empty pages.
* Once we\'ve seen at least one record in a page\'s NAME section, ignore any further records that don\'t include a whatis description, as they tend to be noise.
* Ensure that the target of a symlink or .so chain is always recorded as a real page.
* Read a user-specified configuration file even if HOME is unset.
* Fix failure to display manual pages in some encodings when installed setuid.
* Wrap long table cells in man(1), fixing test failures with groff 1.21.
* If an explicit section is passed to man, then pages that match that section exactly will be preferred over pages that only have that section as a prefix.
* Fix a segfault when \'man -K\' tries to display certain pages.
* Fix a segfault in some situations when processes are killed by SIGHUP, SIGINT, or SIGTERM.
* As promised in the release notes for man-db 2.5.8, man-db no longer ships its own copy of libpipeline (http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/). You must build and install that library separately.
* Search the full manpath when expanding .so directives in manual pages. As part of this, \'.so name.1\' should now work as well as \'.so man1/name.1\'.
* lexgrog handles roff named glyphs and perldoc strings in NAME sections.
* man no longer starts a pager if standard output is not a tty.
* The -s option to whatis and apropos now takes a colon- or comma-separated list of sections, similar to \'man -S\'.
* mandb error output is neater when stderr is not a terminal.
* Add basic support for the implementation of nroff/troff in the Heirloom Documentation Tools. Title lengths are not properly set as yet, and many features are untested.
* mandb removes cat
* and NLS subdirectories of cat directories whose corresponding man directories no longer exist.
* mandb forces SIGPIPE back to its default disposition on startup, to avoid noisy output in case it was started in a context where SIGPIPE was ignored.
* SECTION entries in a user configuration file now override those in the system configuration file, rather than appending to them.
* The default less prompt now includes \"(press h for help or q to quit)\" to help novices find their way around.
* man-db may now be built to use Berkeley DB version 5 (--with-db=db5).
* Fix assertion failure on \'man -l\' with an uncompressed page and any of --no-hyphenation, --no-justification, or a non-English page.
* Try underscore-separated subpages as well as hyphen-separated ones, thanks to Tanguy Ortolo.
* Build libman and libmandb as shared libraries, reducing installed footprint by about 200K (at least on GNU/Linux).
* Warnings about unrecognised locales are now suppressed if the DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION environment variable is set (i.e. man-db is running within a Debian package\'s maintainer script), since the system locales are often out of sync with the C library in that context. Thanks to the Debian Perl maintainers for the idea.
* Allow building with an external libpipeline (http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/), which has been split out from man-db. This is a transitional measure: a future version of man-db will stop shipping its own copy of libpipeline.
* mandb should no longer repeatedly rescan manual page hierarchies when a whatis entry turns into a broken link.
* If a subprocess exits before man manages to read all the output from it, it now drains the output file descriptor rather than immediately discarding it.
* If /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED is available, man attempts to use it to ensure that LC_CTYPE is set to an appropriate locale for the selected character set when invoking col. This fixes \'LANG=C man - E UTF-8\', as used by lintian.
* Fix possible mandb crash when MAN_MUST_CREATE is unset.
* man can now tell nroff to disable justification if the - -no-justification option is used.
* If the full path to an executable is given as an argument, man will try looking up the corresponding manual page in the appropriate part of the manpath, rather than just trying to format the text of the executable as a manual page.
* In the GNU manual hierarchy layout, search man directories as well as just man (e.g. /usr/share/man/man3p as well as /usr/share/man/man3).
* By request, man now prefers getting a page from the best manual section over getting a page in the correct language.
* All programs now support a MAN_DEBUG environment variable which can be used in place of the -d/--debug option. This is useful in some situations where a program is being called deep in a process tree.
* Add support for emulating pipe() with socketpair(), which is faster on some systems; thanks to Werner Fink of SUSE.
* Cat pages are now always saved in UTF-8, and converted to the proper encoding at display time, which means that cat pages can now be saved regardless of locale. Note that a consequence of this is that cat pages now include formatting information (e.g. overstriking) and need to be run through col(1) before display.
* Exact-section database lookups were incorrectly returning all database entries whose section names were prefixes of the requested section name. In some cases this could confuse mandb into never believing that the database was up to date.
* Fix handling of pages with comma-separated names (\"foo, bar, baz\") in their NAME sections, broken by a change in 2.5.0 (!) to ignore manual page names containing spaces.
* Fixed a buffer overflow in the pipeline library\'s line-reading functions. I don\'t believe this to be exploitable: at worst we might believe that there\'s some garbage at the end of manual pages (whose contents are untrusted anyway) and this bug typically resulted in a failed assertion the next time anything tried to read a line.
* Plugged two substantial memory leaks in the pipeline library.
* whatis and apropos only display any given manual page, or pointers to it, once.
* man now sets less(1)\'s environment up correctly for manual pages encoded in CP1251.
* manconv no longer confuses situations such as \"this UTF-8 character is not representable in the target encoding\" with \"this text is not in UTF-8\".
* The default configuration file now includes section 0, used on some systems to document C library header files.
* \'make check\' now passes in the presence of a UTF-8-aware col, such as that in util-linux-ng.
* The \'man -K\' option is now supported to search the full text of all manual pages. This was inspired by a similar option in the other man package (currently at version 1.6f) currently maintained by Federico Lucifredi and formerly by Andries Brouwer, but I took advantage of man-db\'s pipeline library to implement it entirely in-process, without having to start a separate grep process for every manual page. In my tests with fairly typical searches across variously all manual pages or just one section, man-db\'s implementation ran between 3 and 10 times faster.
* Database directories are now only created when there are corresponding manual page directories, not just because they\'re mentioned in the configuration file.
* By default, man will now try to interpret pairs of manual page names given on the command line as equivalent to a single manual page name containing a hyphen (e.g. \'man foo bar\' => foo-bar(1)). This supports the common pattern of programs that implement a number of subcommands, allowing them to provide manual pages for each that can be accessed using similar syntax as would be used to invoke the subcommands themselves. Suggested by H. Peter Anvin, Federico Lucifredi, and others on the git mailing list.
* The build process is now quieter by default. Use \'./configure - -disable-silent-rules\' or \'make V=0\' if you don\'t like this or your make(1) doesn\'t support the non-standard extension required.
* manconv understands a wider range of Emacs-style coding tags.
* Recommendations to change MAN_DB_CREATES, MAN_DB_UPDATES, and MAN_CATS #define options in manconfig.h have been replaced by new configure options --enable-automatic-create, - -disable-automatic-update, and --disable-cats respectively. Note that automatic user database creation is now off by default, as it is often too slow for the usefulness it adds; use - -enable-automatic-create to enable it.
* Pages that declare a non-default encoding in their preprocessor lines are now handled correctly.
* man-db\'s \'make check\' now tests that all its own manual pages format without errors or warnings from groff, to ensure a better-quality release.
* lexgrog now stops on any unrecognised roff request, rather than continuing and often littering the database with garbage.
* man no longer requires both standard input and standard output to be terminals in order to use the terminal line length. The line length from standard output is preferred if available.
* The manpath was built completely wrongly when multiple entries were present in LANGUAGE: duplicates were handled strangely, and languages were effectively iterated in reverse order. It should be rather more sensible now.
* The MAN_KEEP_STDERR environment variable can now be used to override man\'s default of discarding stderr when stdout is a terminal.
* Handling of terminal widths for cat pages is now configurable, using the MINCATWIDTH, MAXCATWIDTH, and CATWIDTH configuration file directives.
* \'man -a\' now detects duplicate manual page candidates more reliably, and sorts them better.
* Belarusian, Estonian, Greek, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Romanian, Slovenian, and Ukrainian pages are now supported.
* man can now search for pages using regular expressions (with - -regex) or shell wildcards (with --wildcard). By default this searches both page names and descriptions, like apropos, but if the --names-only option is used then it searches page names only, like whatis.
* man can now tell nroff to disable hyphenation if the - -no-hyphenation option is used.
* man-db already searched for manual pages in ../man and man directories relative to each $PATH component; it now searches in ../share/man and share/man directories too.
* Groff 1.20 was recently released, including the \'preconv\' preprocessor. Although man-db has supported preconv to some extent since 2.4.4, man-db\'s configure now detects its presence and infers that groff supports Unicode input using it; man also now takes slightly better advantage of preconv than before.
* Per-locale groff macros are now loaded if possible, allowing us to take advantage of such things as localised versions of predefined strings and language-aware hyphenation. This only works with Groff 1.20.2 or better (not yet released), since earlier versions did not allow us to suppress warnings in the event that the appropriate macro file is not available.
* Cleaned up a number of possible crashes, memory leaks, and missing error checks found by the Coverity Scan project.
* Fix build if MAN_CATS is undefined.
* If the LINGUAS environment variable is set while running configure, it now controls building and installation of localised manual pages as well as program translations.
* The LANGUAGE environment variable is now tokenised properly, rather than only taking the first two characters of each element.
* Fix build if --disable-nls is used or iconv is not available.
* man now correctly propagates the exit code of whatis or apropos when called with the -f or -k option respectively.
* A number of inconsistencies and readability problems with man-db\'s own manual pages have been cleaned up, thanks mainly to Yuri Kozlov.
* Reduce the number of warnings emitted when using an unrecognised locale.
* manconv and zsoelim are now called internally rather than by executing external programs, to improve performance.
* man-db now uses GDBM (--with-db=gdbm) in preference to Berkeley DB (--with-db=db or --with-db=dbN where N is 1, 2, 3, or 4) by default, since hardware improvements have rendered Berkeley DB\'s speed advantages negligible for our purposes and the relatively frequent SONAME and on-disk format changes are not worth the hassle. Distributors should note that if they follow this change then they will need to arrange for databases to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version.
* Duplicate manual page hierarchies due to symlinks (e.g. /usr/man - > /usr/share/man) are detected and removed from the search order.
* A locale modifier (e.g. AATTlatin) in a directory name must now match the locale if the former is set, in addition to the language and territory.
* Bare .so includes (e.g. \".so foo.1\" rather than \".so man1/foo.1\") now work, although only within the same manual page hierarchy for now.
* \'man -H\' (without a browser argument) was completely broken in 2.5.1 and is now fixed.
* man no longer breaks in Japanese locales when using less as a pager.
* The --encoding option to man can now take a true character encoding rather than a
*roff device; the latter was an unreliable, inflexible, and awkward way to select an output encoding. The old semantics are still supported for backward compatibility.
* Whatis parsing stops at .ie or .if conditionals.
* CJK locale specifications where the codeset component is equivalent to but not stringwise-identical to UTF-8 (e.g. zh_CN.utf8) are handled better.
* man(1)\'s OPTIONS section is ordered more comprehensibly.
* apropos, lexgrog, man, mandb, and whatis ignore encoding conversion errors for the last possible encoding of the source page. This helps, for example, with pages including misencoded non-ASCII names of authors; it usually seems better to allow these pages to pass with small errors than to break them entirely.

* The manual is now built automatically, avoiding some ordering problems on \'make distclean\'.
* Manual pages are converted to the proper input encoding for troff output as well as nroff output.
* The -t, -T, -X, and -Z options to man work again; in 2.5.0, they read input from stdin rather than from the manual page.
* apropos and whatis no longer segfault when given an explicit locale using -L.
* man now understands that groff\'s ascii device takes ASCII input, not ISO-8859-1.
* man no longer discards stderr when writing to a file or a pipe; this was broken by an overenthusiastic change in 2.5.0.
* manconv now falls back to the next encoding in its list if any characters in an entire 64KB block fail to decode using the current encoding, as was originally intended.
* manconv is more careful about extracting coding: directives from manual pages.
* Ctrl-C and Ctrl-\\ now work again at the prompt issued by \'man -a\'.
* There is a new --with-sections configure option to change the default value of SECTION in the configuration file.
* Automake is now used to generate Makefiles. Among other things, this fixes VPATH builds and some bugs in dependency generation, and should allow building with non-GNU versions of make.
* man-db now uses the Gnulib portability library, allowing the removal of earlier haphazard portability code. While this results in a somewhat larger source distribution, it makes man-db easier to maintain and should make it easier to build on systems to which the maintainer does not have access.
* In the process of switching to Gnulib, the last vestiges of pre-C89 support have been removed; they were documented to be broken anyway.
* If the MANROFFOPT environment variable is set, man now appends its value to the
*roff command line.
* man now accepts a --recode option to output a source manual page converted to a specified encoding.
* For compatibility with System V, man accepts -s as an alias for - S, and permits sections to be comma-separated as well as colon-separated.
* man now accepts a --warnings option to enable groff warnings.
* Tue Feb 26 2008 wernerAATTsuse.de- Ensure to find local manual pages even in sub directories

* Fri Sep 06 2002 mfabianAATTsuse.de- add the two lines .if \'\\
*[.T]\'utf8\' \\ . char \\- \\N\'45\' to /usr/share/groff/site-tmac/tmac.andocdb in order to get U+002D (HYPHEN-MINUS) instead of U+2212 (MINUS SIGN) as the minus sign in front of options in man-pages rendered in UTF-8 locales. U+2212 (MINUS SIGN) makes searching in man-pages for options unnecessarily difficult.

* Mon Dec 11 2000 wernerAATTsuse.de- Correct depth level of patch
* Mon Dec 11 2000 wernerAATTsuse.de- Make `setlocale\'zing more reliable accordingly to Andreas Jaeger.
* Sat Dec 09 2000 mfabianAATTsuse.de- replaced all setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,\"\") with setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,\"\")
*and
* setlocale(LC_CTYPE,\"\"). After the upgrade to Glibc 2.2, 8 bit characters in the French, Czech, and Japanese messages were displayed as \"?\". Changing the setlocale calls in the above way fixed it. Messages in all languages now display correctly again. First I replaced all setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,\"\") by setlocale(LC_ALL,\"\"), but this causes problems. In that case, the messages display correctly, but \"LANG=ja_JP man man\" incorrectly displays the English manpage. Strange. When using both setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,\"\")
*and
* setlocale(LC_CTYPE,\"\") but not setlocale(LC_ALL,\"\"), everything seems to work correctly.
