man-pages-3.75 is released

I've released man-pages-3.75. The release tarball is available on kernel.org. The browsable online pages can be found on man7.org. The Git repository for man-pages is available on kernel.org.

This is a quite small release. The most notable changes in man-pages-3.75 are the following:

• A new pthread_rwlockattr_setkind_np(3) page by Robert Schweikert documents two glibc extensions to the POSIX threads API, pthread_rwlockattr_setkind_np() and  pthread_rwlockattr_getkind_np().
• I've added a number of details about the correct way to handle UNIX domain socket pathnames in the unix(7) page, including details of how to work around a longstanding design bug that I reported some time ago to the Austin Group mailing list.

man-pages-3.74 is released

I've released man-pages-3.74. The release tarball is available on kernel.org. The browsable online pages can be found on man7.org. The Git repository for man-pages is available on kernel.org.

Aside from various minor changes to many pages, the most notable changes in man-pages-3.74 are the following:

• A new cp1252(7) page by Marko Myllynen documents the CP 1252 character set. Marko also submitted a large number of patches that made the various character set pages in Section 7 more consistent content and layout.
• I've written a new pldd(1) page that documents the pldd command added to glibc in version 2.15.
• I've made a number of updates to the mq_overview(7) page, among them to add documentation of the  /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_default and  /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_default files.
