man-db (2.5.5-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream release:
    - Fix an uninitialised variable when sorting manual page candidates that
      could lead to excessive memory allocation and possible crashes
      (thanks, Dustin Marquess; closes: #519647).
    - man(1): Fix missing backslash in -r default (thanks, Will Day; closes:
      #519162).

man-db (2.5.4-2) unstable; urgency=low


  * Backport from trunk:
    - Fix handling of pages that declare a non-default encoding in their
      preprocessor lines. Thanks to Hugo Herbelin for some of the ideas here
      (closes: #519095).

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).

man-db (2.5.2-4) unstable; urgency=low


  * Backport from trunk:
    - Update manual page search order to permit FHS-compliant installation
      of packages in /opt. Reported by Matt Domsch.

man-db (2.5.2-3) unstable; urgency=low


  * Backport from trunk:
    - src/manconv.c (try_iconv): Remove premature optimisation that
      sometimes caused us to write incomplete output.
    - src/encodings.c (add_manconv): Always use manconv even if iconv could
      theoretically do the job, as manconv has slightly more permissive
      behaviour that is generally more suitable for converting manual page
      source (closes: #498082).
