Gidday!
I'm proud to announce:
man-pages-6.01 - manual pages for GNU/Linux
This release results from patches, bug reports, reviews, and comments
from around 16 contributors. The release includes around 14 commits,
and changed all of the pages.
Tarball download:
<https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/>
Git repository:
<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/>
The most notable changes in man-pages-6.01 are the following:
- Build system fixes. These were quite bad for distributors, which is
the reason we released 6.01 so soon after 6.00.
- Document EOF, FAN_MARK_IGNORE, STATX_DIOALIGN, and a few feature
test macros.
Thank you all for contributing.
Cheers,
Alex

Global changes
--------------
- Build system:
- Update manual page dates (TH 3rd argument) when creating the tarball
with 'make dist'. this removes the need for a tstamp commit before
each release.
- Don't print spurious errors from the Makefile that are not relevant.
- Manual pages' sections:
- Title (.TH):
- Remove the hardcoded date (TH 3rd argument), and replace it by a
placeholder that should be changed when creating the tarball.
This removes the need for a tstamp commit before each release.
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
The manual pages (and other files in the repository) have been improved
beyond what this changelog covers. To learn more about changes applied
to individual pages, use git(1).
