- Significant work on apropos and mandocdb. These tools are - now much more robust. - A whatis implementation is now handled as an apropos mode. - These tools are also able to minimally handle pre-formatted pages, that is, those already formatted by another utility - such as GNU troff. + Ingo, can you summarise your changes here?
- The man.cgi script is also now available for wider testing. It interfaces with mandocdb manuals cached by catman. HTML output is generated
- on-the-fly by libmandoc or internal methods to convert pre-formatted pages.
+ The mandocdb tools (mandocdb,
+ apropos (absorbing whatis), and
+ man.cgi have been re-written to use
+ sqlite3 as a database.
- The mailing list archive for the discuss and tech lists are being hosted by Gmane at gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.user and gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel, respectively. -
-- Lastly, I'm no longer providing binaries, as nobody has asked for them. -
