I've released man-db 2.13.0.

Description
===========

man-db contains an implementation of the man command, which is the
primary way of examining the on-line help files (manual pages).  Other
utilities provided include the whatis and apropos commands for searching
the manual page database, the manpath utility for determining the manual
page search path, and the maintenance utilities mandb, catman and
zsoelim.  The package requires a troff installation, such as groff (GNU
troff) to format and display the manual pages.

About this release
==================

Compatibility notes:

 * Drop support for versions of groff before 1.21 (released on 2010-12-31).

Fixes:

 * Fix `man-suffixed-extension` test failure when not using the GNU
   hierarchy organization.
 * Fix `-Wmissing-variable-declarations` warnings with GCC 14.
 * Fix `-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end` warning with GCC 14.

Improvements:

 * Upgrade to Gnulib `stable-202407`.
 * Support running the test suite against an installed package; this is
   useful for systems such as Debian's autopkgtest framework.

For full details, please see the ChangeLog file in the source
distribution.
