Release notes
Fixes:
------
* Fix locale macro loading for Chinese to load the macro file
corresponding to just the language part of the user's locale.
* Honour --enable-
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'.
Improvements:
-------------
* 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_
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.
