Hmm, probably best to add some code to update the date when building the
release. That way the date in man page would reflect the release date of
kawa. It would make the date shown in man page useful.
Perhaps add some place holder in the man page and rewrite it in Makefile:
kawa.man:
sed "s/#RELEASE_DATE#/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)/" kawa.man.tmp > kawa.man
qexo.man:
sed "s/#RELEASE_DATE#/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)/" qexo.man.tmp > qexo.man
The above is just example, I haven't tested it yet.
