Put up in a place
where it's easy to see

slowly you climb,
it's well to remember that
Things Take Time.Piet Hein

Improve formatting for thread pages for software packaged for Debian. Ignore configure~ when generating distribution tarballs. Stop assuming all packages have a TODO file.
Remove support for CVS $Id$ strings and \id commands. Stop wrapping output text for easier comparisons. Fix internal section links, including links to headings containing markups and ones where anchors are wrapped. Preserve non-breaking spaces in navbar section names. Fix metacharacter handling in lots of places. Fix nested =over blocks and =over without =item. Fix =for thread and =begin thread. Suppress \signature if the input document was empty, and output the document before erroring if there were POD errors. Improve package metadata.
Add support for kafs by continuing with -t behavior if kafs is present. Use libkeyutils if available to isolate a command's keyring from the invoking program if running a specific command with -t. Use a better exit status when a command is killed with a signal. Use explicit_bzero to clear the password for k5start -s. Other portability fixes and updates.
