Thanks for the nudge, I have refreshed the manual and added some
gating in the build procedure in order to avoid running into
version delta with newer upstream releases.  Changes are
available on Salsa, but I'd rather wait for the migration to
forky to complete before proceeding to upload, so as to not
interfere with the ongoing transition #1146803.  If all goes
well, this should only be the matter of a couple of days.

I updated the format list.  I also updated the wording this way,
if that helps making delta accumulation less problematic:

	- This library currently supports:
	+ This library supports notably:

Would that work for you?

Have a nice day,  :)
