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 Version 0.1 ----------- Initial public release of the texlua version by Frank Küster.
