podlators 4.10 released
Message ID:

This release has a relatively large formatting change for Pod::Man:
function and man page references are now rendered in bold instead of
italic. I had originally used italic because the style was based on
Solaris man pages, but Solaris is pretty niche these days and other
standards (particularly the Linux man page style) says to use bold.
The other changes are warning cleanups.

Changes since the previous release:
[Pod::Man] Change man page references and function names to bold
instead of italic, following the current Linux man page standard. The
previous formatting was taken from Solaris, and it seems safe to say
that the Linux man page formatting conventions are now much more
widely followed than Solaris's. Patch from Guillem Jover.
[Pod::Man] Revert the .IX handling code to the earlier version from
Bjarni Ingi Gislason but add the trailing backslashes that should
hopefully avoid blank page issues on HP-UX. This fixes a warning
regression when man is run with warnings enabled. (Debian Bug#847972)
[Pod::Man] Wrap the output file descriptor in a glob before passing it
to PerlIO::get_layers so that the layer check works properly.
Previously, this code would throw a warning if given a scalar not
wrapped in a glob and not detect layers properly. Patch from Zefram.
(#122521)
Produce a proper diagnostic when given empty input on standard input
with no other arguments to pod2man or pod2text. Reported by Guillem
Jover.
