Revision 94 (latest revision is 102)
- Update to 2.11.2: * Fix compile and test failures when `troff` is not `groff`. * Fix segfault in typical uses of `man` when `nroff` is not installed. * Fix crash in `mandb` when processing stray cats. * SECURITY: Replace `$` characters in page names with `?` when constructing `less` prompts. * Silence error message when processing an empty manual page hierarchy with a nonexistent cache directory. * `man(1)` now sorts whatis references below real pages, even if the whatis references are from a section with higher priority. * `mandb` now correctly records filters in the database if it uses cached whatis information. * Upgrade Gnulib, fixing syntax error on glibc systems with GCC 11. * The `CATWIDTH` configuration file directive now overrides `MINCATWIDTH` and `MAXCATWIDTH`. * Database entries for links were often incorrectly stored as if they were entries for the ultimate source of the page. 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: * Check for stray cats even if no manual pages in a given manpath were
