They are now stored with + the correct type. + * Store links in the database using the section and extension of the link + rather than of the ultimate source file. + * Consider pages for adding to the database even if they seem to already + exist; this performance optimization is no longer needed due to caching, + and it produced inconsistent results in some unusual cases. + * `man` now runs any required preprocessors in the same order that `groff` + does, rather than trusting the order of filters in a page's preprocessor + string. + * Fix building on MinGW. (I haven't been able to test this; help from + MinGW experts would be welcome.) + +Improvements: + + * Add more recognized case variants for localized versions of the `NAME` + section. + * Maintain multi keys in sorted order, improving database reproducibility. + * Pick a more consistent name for the target of a whatis entry in the + database. + * Extend rules for when to replace one database entry with another, + producing more stable behaviour. + * Fully reorganize databases after writing them, allowing the reproduction + of bitwise-identical databases regardless of scan order (at least with + GDBM). + man-db 2.10.2 (17 March 2022) ============================= |
