+man-db 2.6.4
+============
+
+Major changes since man-db 2.6.3:
+
+ Fixes:
+ ------
+
+ o man(1) and catman(8) now document the default section list set at
+ configure time.
+
+ o Build fixes for Automake 1.13.
+
+ Improvements:
+ -------------
+
+ o The MANLESS environment variable is now treated as if it were a
+ default value for the -r option to man: occurrences of the text
+ "$MAN_PN" are expanded, and explicitly using the -r option
+ overrides the default.
+
+ o The (unfortunately still hardcoded) maximum length for paths to
+ manual page hierarchies in the configuration file is now 511
+ characters rather than 49.
+
+ o MANPATH entries now undergo glob(7)-style wildcard expansion,
+ allowing entries such as "/opt/*/man".
+
