[Man-db-announce] man-db 2.5.7 released

[Colin Watson]

I've released man-db 2.5.7.

Description
-----------

man-db contains an implementation of the man command, which is the
primary way of examining the on-line help files (manual pages).  Other
utilities provided include the whatis and apropos commands for searching
the manual page database, the manpath utility for determining the manual
page search path, and the maintenance utilities mandb, catman and
zsoelim.  The package requires a troff installation, such as groff (GNU
troff) to format and display the manual pages.

About this release
------------------

Among many bug fixes, this release always saves cat pages in UTF-8 so
that cat pages can now be saved regardless of locale, includes support
for looking up manual pages by the path to the corresponding executable,
and provides a new 'man --no-justification' option.

For full details of these and of the other improvements in this release,
please see the files NEWS and ChangeLog in the source distribution.
