Changelog
man-db (2.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
- Exit as soon as possible if database writes return ENOSPC (closes:
#167159).
- Make it possible to override man's default of discarding stderr when
stdout is a terminal (closes: #480996).
- Reorganise lexgrog to stop on any unrecognised roff request, rather
than continuing and often littering the database with garbage (closes:
#271402).
- Make handling of terminal widths for cat pages configurable (closes:
#121997).
- Improve sorting and de-duplication of manual page candidates (closes:
#389762, #496172).
- Consider SO_MAN equivalent to ULT_MAN for the purposes of sorting
candidate pages for display (closes: #384301).
- Add regular expression and shell wildcard search facilities to man
(closes: #461319).
- Add option to disable hyphenation (closes: #166701).
- Line length is a property of output, not input, so only check whether
standard output is a terminal, not also standard input (closes:
#512233).
- Partially rewrite building of manpath according to locale. The
previous code was completely wrong: as well as handling duplicates
rather oddly, it effectively handled LANGUAGE in reverse order
(closes: #516133).
