- Update to v4
News in v4
The manual page generator logic is now separated from the 'build_manpages'
module (which provides setup.py integration helpers). Therefore the
argparse-manpage doesn't necessarily have to depend on setuptools.
Projects that want to integrate using 'setup.py' should though place a new
"extra" named 'argparse-manpage[setuptools]' into their set of build
requirements in project.toml file.
The old 'build_manpage' command (!= 'build_manpages') is now more
isolated from the rest of the code, likely never loaded.
the Manpage class API was changed in v3 so it required an additional
constructor 'data' argument. This change was reverted, and the only
argument is again the ArgumentParser object.
The 'version' and 'description' options were fixed.
New options 'manual_section' and 'manual_title' were added.
The manual page now automatically generates a current date in headers.
Several groff escaping issues were fixed.

- Update to 3
* New man page format: single-commands-section
* Add CLI and conf options for setting the output format
* Add CLI and conf options to explicitly specify %prog value
* Skip showing commands with help == SUPPRESS
* Avoid rendering docs for command aliases
* Print program name in upper case in header and footer
* The --author CLI option has changed, and takes arbitrary string
(typically 'Author Name <the@example.com>'), and newly can be specified
multiple times. Therefore, it now replaces the '--author-email' option.
The --author-email option is kept, but is just an alias to the --author
option.
* All CLI options can be specified also in setup.cfg
* Don't render AUTHORS and DISTRIBUTION if they would contain undefined values
* Remove '... was written by' from AUTHORS
* Fixed the testsuite against the setuptools v60+
* Output manual pages should be built reproducibly, no matter the current
size of the terminal.
* Methods build_manpages, get_build_py_cmd, get_install_cmd are now
provided in top-level module.
* More portable opening and parsing given by python file name.
* Split out options by generic argument groups, not only predefined
"positional arguments", "options", and Subparsers.
* Drop python3-six requirement.
* Properly highligh all option argument METAVARs.
- spec changes:
* BuildArch set to noarch
* Add build dependency on pip module
