man-db-2.4.4

[robert@…]

New version released. There's a lot of new stuff in docs/ChangeLog. I would also like to suggest we use #undef's:

cat >> include/manconfig.h.in << "EOF"
#undef WEB_BROWSER
#define WEB_BROWSER "exec /usr/bin/lynx"
#undef COL
#define COL "/usr/bin/col"
#undef VGRIND
#define VGRIND "/usr/bin/vgrind"
#undef GRAP 
#define GRAP "/usr/bin/grap"
EOF

So that we don't get warnings like:

../include/manconfig.h:457:1: warning: "WEB_BROWSER" redefined
../include/manconfig.h:117:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition

I'm provisionally targetting this for the 6.3 release. Alexander, if you think the changes in docs/ChangeLog are too intrusive, feel free to retarget this to 'Future'. I think I've captured the most important changes below:

Wed Aug 31 01:23:55 BST 2005

• Add Simplified Chinese -> GB2312 and Traditional Chinese -> BIG5.
• (charset_table): Use the nippon device for BIG5, GB2312, and GBK.
• (device_table): Assume that the nippon device is encoding-agnostic, since it handles several encodings now.
• (compatible_encodings, get_roff_encoding): Extend the ja_JP.UTF-8 hack to cover zh_CN.UTF-8, zh_SG.UTF-8, and zh_TW.UTF-8 too.

Wed Aug 9 14:10:57 BST 2006

• Recognise preprocessor encoding declarations

Mon Nov 6 08:34:57 PST 2006

• fix buffer overrun

Sun Jan 7 20:48:58 GMT 2007

• fix a slew of memory leaks
