+ 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. +

+

+ 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.

- Ingo, can you summarise your changes here? + 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.

- The mandocdb tools (mandocdb, apropos (absorbing whatis), and man.cgi) have been re-written to - use sqlite3 as a database. + Lastly, I'm no longer providing binaries, as nobody has asked for them.
