+man-db 2.12.1 (5 April 2024)
+============================
+
+Fixes:
+
+ * Fix excessive cleanup of `/var/cache/man` by `systemd-tmpfiles`.
+
+Improvements:
+
+ * `man` matches the display width more accurately to the configured width.
+ * Upgrade to Gnulib `stable-202401`.
+ * Mention `groff`'s `pdf` device in `man(1)`.
+ * Speed up `seccomp` filter slightly.
+ * Document how to format pages using italic rather than underlined text.
+
+Compatibility notes:
+
+ * Remove the obsolete `chconfig` tool for converting man-db configuration
+   files to the FHS.  This transition took place almost 25 years ago (at
+   least in Debian), so it's not worth keeping it around now.
