The main change is to not apply any guesswork to the contents of the NAME
section, since the lines in that section are often pulled out by catman or
other similar tools that don't understand nroff markup. This was the
result of a report that the gcc man -k entry looked strange because of the
conversion of C++ to a prettified string for troff output.
There are also a few other bug fixes.

Changes from previous release:
2002-01-02 Russ Allbery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* VERSION: podlators 1.19 released.
* t/man.t: New file, testing special behavior of Pod::Man.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (cmd_head1): Keep track of whether the current
section is the NAME section.
(collapse): Don't apply guesswork to the text inside the NAME
section since it may get pulled out by programs like catman.
(begin_pod): No longer output .UC after the .TH macro; catman
doesn't like anything between the NAME section and .TH and .UC
doesn't appear to actually do anything on any modern platform.
Also initialize IN_NAME here.
* t/basic.man: Adjust to reflect lack of guesswork in the NAME
section and removal of the .UC request.
2002-01-01 Russ Allbery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* lib/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm (initialize): Terminal speed should be a
number, not a string. Also fall back on a hard-coded terminal
speed if getospeed doesn't work.
2001-12-31 Russ Allbery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* t/basic.pod: Add a verbatim paragraph right before a heading,
which was previously mishandled by Pod::Man.
* t/basic.cap: Update.
* t/basic.clr: Update.
* t/basic.man: Update.
* t/basic.ovr: Update.
* t/basic.txt: Update.
* lib/Pod/Man.pm (verbatim): Remove the blank line from .Ve in the
preamble and set NEEDSPACE here instead, as this works better
before headings and in other, similar situations.
* t/text-errors.t: New file, testing errors issued by Pod::Text.
* lib/Pod/Text.pm (interior_sequence): Fix error reporting for
unknown sequences; the code was initializing $seq twice.
(command): Fix the unknown command warning to use a colon rather
than quotes like the other warnings and update the documentation
to match.
(interior_sequence): Fix the unknown formatting code warning to
match the documentation.
