* New upstream release: - Implement 'man -K', which was the last major remaining missing feature when comparing man-db with the man package (closes: #135926, LP: #390575). - Note that the exact rendering of (e.g.) italic text may vary depending on the output device (closes: #516808). - Don't create unnecessary database directories (closes: #472919). - Explicitly state that -P/$PAGER/$MANPAGER identifies a single command with no pipes (closes: #363250). - Make whatis/apropos only display any given manual page, or pointers to it, once (LP: #27113). - Map CP1251 encoding to LESSCHARSET=windows, per less(1) (closes: #539690). - Loop through semicolon-separated coding tags in the first line of manual pages, and convert Emacs coding tags to ones that libiconv understands (closes: #496604). - Convert text to UTF-8 and then (if necessary) to the target encoding. This allows us to distinguish between "text not in input encoding" and "characters not representable in output encoding" (closes: #514963). - Replace database entries if the mtime of the new data is newer than that of the old data, even if the new data represents a symlink rather than a regular file (closes: #490582). - Increase limit on NAME sections from 2048 bytes to 8192, since some pages exceeding the previous limit have been observed in the wild (closes: #489907). - Cope with some more cases of database corruption (closes: #187750). - 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. * Upgrade to debhelper v7. * Reverse the direction of the man and mandb symlinks, and migrate any statoverrides referring to the old locations in /usr/lib/man-db/. * Run cron jobs at idle I/O priority if dpkg 1.15.0 or newer is installed (closes: #448400). * Policy version 3.8.2: no changes required.
