# Changes for v1.3
### fixed bugs
# includes in manpages (".so") didn't work - example packages: bash: bash-builtins, ax25-tools:netrom-tools
#   solution: cd to extracted manpages before opening them
# fixed detection of tmp-directory /dev/shm
# working directory with space -> cd back gave an error
# $TMPDIR wasn't implemented (forgotten)
# corrected manpage
# correct size calculation of file to download
### features
# added debugging option (-v and -vv)
# added usr/share/doc to view additional files
# added option -o to overwrite the viewer for other files (not manpages)
# added option -z to use a graphical dialog (zenity) instead of dialog or whiptail
# improved bash_completion (maybe it will get in debian-goodies)
# added a png-file for debmany (maybe it will get in debian-goodies)
# with $TMPDIR you can specify the destination for temporary files
# option -l changed: old: -l fr -> fr*   new: -l fr -> fr
#   examples: -l de,fr   -l "zh*"
# improved manpages
# check for parameter -k, -g and -x if kfmclient, gnome-open or xdg-open exists
# added rounding for size calculation
### quality
# added a checklist (comment in debmany) for new releases of debmany
### technical
# removed search in usr/share/X11R6 (last seen in Debian sarge)
# small parts rewritten for better dash compatibility - remaining is marked "!dash"
# less should be a dependency because it is the default viewer for other files
# zenity should be a suggested package because it is a graphical alternative for dialog
### remaining but no reason to operate
# blanks in filenames do not work - checked in Debian etch: no packages found
