==================== NEWS =========================================

Not much in this release. It's actually a quite boring release, which is good for packagers. Nothing they should care about.

BTW, distros have started packaging the scripts provided in the previous release (Debian and Arch already provide manpages-bin).

Hi!

I was looking at this, and realized I miswrote the package name. Arch provides the tools in man-pages-utils, and Debian provides them in manpages-utils.

Cheers,
Alex
