Version 0.85
------------
Compatibility with LuaTeX 0.74+ (Lua 5.2).
Version 0.84 (TeX Live 2012)
============================
Fix -f output when TEXMFHOME contains a list of paths. Bug sort-of reported
by Matthew Leingang, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/42920/
Version 0.83
------------
Minor adjustments in the scoring system.
Version 0.82
------------
Fixes to the default viewer/destkop environment detection:
- try gvfs-open with Gnome
- always try xdg-open first (usually more up-to-date)
Thanks to Axel E. Retif for informing me that newer versions of Ubuntu don't
ship gnome-open by default any more.
Version 0.81 (TeX Live 2011)
============================
Allow configuration files to be found in all TEXMF trees.
The default one should now be installed in TEXMFDIST (in upstream TeX Live) or
in a tree search after TEXMFLOCAL (in downstream distros).
Delay default viewer detection, see:
http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2011-May/029150.html
Drop long-deprecated things:
- --search (-> --showall), --verbosity-level and old syntax of -v
- alias_switch, -a, -A, --alias, --noalias
- 'regex' mode,
Various internal cleanups and rearrangements.
Version 0.80
============
New 'lang' configuration option (defaults on system locale): now <name>-de.pdf
wins over <name>.pdf if German is preferred. Patch kindly provided by Philipp
Stephani. Also works with aliases (eg koma-de = scrguide wins over koma =
scrguien).
Document the previously undocumented options from 0.72-tl2010.
Accept htm as a valid extension, synonym for html. Emit less warnings about
viewers.
Version 0.72 as in TeX Live 2010
--------------------------------
New (undocumented) settings (bad)basenme_list, parallel to (bad)ext_list.
New (undocumented) setting item suffix_list for known documentation suffixes,
previously hardcoded.
New (undocumented) option --just-view for use by front-end programs.
Version 0.72
------------
Fix stupid bug introduced in 0.70: texdoc would crash if called without
arguments. (Reported by Maxime Chupin.)
Version 0.71
------------
Fix bug introduced in 0.70: some results were duplicated on windows. (Reported
by Uwe Siart.)
Version 0.70
============
Use information from the TeX Live package database (some of it coming from the
CTAN catalogue) to improve search results. Display some of this information.
Show the current settings in --help message.
Misc. internal changes & fixes.
Deprecate -a, --alias, -A, --noalias and alias_switch.
Version 0.66
------------
Turn the -v=N, --verbosity=N command-line option into a pair of related options
-v, --verbose and -q, --quiet (more standard, Karl's suggestion). Also remove
uselessly verbose debug items so --debug is usable again.
Rework help text (Karl's suggestion).
Issue a warning about DISPLAY not being set on generic Unix before trying to
start a viewer.
Small internal clean-ups.
Version 0.65
------------
Make it easier to change the list of configuration files used (eg for
downstream distributions).
Version 0.64
------------
Fix a crash when DISPLAY is unset on Unix by querying xprop more carefully.
(Bug introduced in 0.61.)
Version 0.63
------------
Fix a bug on windows which prevented from viewing sty files.
Version 0.62
------------
Support for zipped documentation is now an official option.
Please read the warnings before using it!
Version 0.61
------------
Detect desktop environments (KDE4, KDE, GNOME, XFCE) for viewer selection.
Version 0.60
============
Changed the search/alias/score logic. See section 2 of the manual for details,
but here is a primer:
- alias now /adds/ patterns to be search, it is no more a substitution
- new scoring system, partially configurable, with improved heuristics
The beginning of the manual has been completely rewritten.
Bugs have been fixed as usual, and probably some others introduced...
Version 0.50
============
- New option for machine-readable output.
- Bugfixes (esp. for zipped file support (Unix only)).
- Hopefully more sensible default viewer selection.
Version 0.49
------------
Major code rewrite. No big user-visible change, except a few bugs fixed and new
debugging levels.
Version 0.47 (TeX Live 2009)
----------------------------
Adapt for man pages named *.man1.pdf instead of *.pdf.
(Temporary hack, done better since version 0.60.)
Warning: zip support probably broken!
Version 0.46
------------
Avoid using lfs.currentdir() and lfs.chdir() which are broken on Solaris 10
in LuaTeX 0.40
Version 0.45
------------
Fix possible line ending problems on windows with certain versions of LuaTeX
Version 0.44
------------
- fixing viewer problems on Windows
- expanding the list of default viewers on generic Unix
Version 0.43
------------
Improve support for zipped documentation and comments about it in the default
configuration file. (Thank Norbert Preining for his help.)
Various fixes, aliases updates as usual.
Version 0.42
------------
Improvements to default txt viewer on Windows (thanks to Phil Taylor).
New debugging levels; new names for debugging options.
New configuration file allowing to run the development version more easily.
Changes to the way files are displayed. Results are numbered even when -I is
used.
Documentation update. Alias additions and fixes as usual. Various bugfixes.
License switched to GPL.
Version 0.4 (TeX Live 2008)
===========================
Use our own configuration files, not texmf.cnf. Rework the way viewers are
handled, and add a few configuration options.
Add an 'alias' feature. Filter results in a more restrictive way. Add new search
modes 'mixed' and 'regex'. Turn result lists into menus.
Add a user manual in pdf.
Development passed from Frank Küster to Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard.
Version 0.3
-----------
Various changes including:
- added changelog
- better OS detection for default viewer settings
- removed some debugging code
- -s now works in dirs without ls-R, too
Version 0.2
-----------
Various changes including:
- implemented reading of configuration from texmf.cnf
- fixed "-s" option
