CHANGES 2.0 => 2.1 (2016-10-30)
-------------------------------
NEW FEATURES
  * New configuration variable umanAlignSyntaxes = '' | 'l' | 'r' (default)

IMPROVEMENTS
  * Help pages are now available in french.
  * Console mode:
    - For a better readability, syntaxes of a function are now aligned.
      Their justifying is tunable. Examples: who, unwrap, ss2tf, strsplit...
    - When a page has no parameters section, its description section(s) is
      now automatically displayed, even without using the 'd' option

REFERENCES ADDED
  * Redirections
    - internal: stat=>stats
    - to Scilab: bicg, bicgstab, cgs, class, iscell, iscellstr, isinteger,
      isjava, numel, pcg, spdiags, square => squarewave(faux-ami)
    - to external: print_usage
  * FileExchange: GnuSciPlot, Ishikawa, STL
  * ATOMS: forge cglab=>cgal, Dynpeak, FOT, sopi, wgserialxcosio

BUG FIXED
  * 'uman close u' displayed only 'close(H)', forgetting 'close'
  * Changing csvDefault('separator',..) made 'uman' failing.
  * uman ignored any <term> of a <variablelist> having an id.
  * '& ' in a <screen> area yielded an error.
    Example: 'uman _atomsGettingStarted dc'
  * When a table's row had a single cell, '<td>' was sometimes displayed
  * 'uman bitget lru' did not display the parameters section
  * 'uman author> wb' without section and item yielded an error.
  * 'uman figure_size wb' did not select '... Fig.figure_size=sizes ...'
  * 'uman [ wb' missed '[a b c ..]' and other entries
  * 'uman ? wb' or 'uman # wb' yielded a Bugzilla error
  * 'uman 12 wb' was accepted while Scilab bugs are numbered starting from 77.
  * 'uman doc/>plot2d wb' did not target the 'Documentation pages' component
  * 'uman doc/><100 wb' yielded an error (no topic)
  * 'uman author> @' used '>' as part of the author name
