Version 5.1.0 (2016-02-28)

This release splits binman(1) into pieces and improves the documentation.

Minor:

  • binman(1) is now deprecated, to be removed in the next major version. Please run the new binman-* programs, listed below, directly instead.

  • Split binman(1) commands into independent programs:

    • binman-help(1) - add help options to your program
    • binman-html(1) - HTML manpage from header comment
    • binman-rake(1) - run rake(1) tasks from command line
    • binman-roff(1) - UNIX manpage from header comment
    • binman-show(1) - show manpage from header comment
    • binman-text(1) - extract embedded manpage sources
  • binman-rake(1): allow task names without namespace.

    You can now run binman-rake man instead of binman-rake binman:man, and similarly binman-rake web instead of binman-rake binman:web, and similarly binman-rake mkd instead of binman-rake binman:mkd.

Patch:

  • README: an epic revision; add copy of md2man(5).

  • README: add dasht manual pages to examples section.

  • Clarify optionalness of PATTERN in --help option.

  • Upgrade to md2man version 5.1.
