man-pages-5.01 is released

I've released man-pages-5.01. 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 release resulted from patches, bug reports, reviews, and comments from just over 20 contributors. The release is smaller release than typical; it includes just over 70 commits that changed just over 40 pages.

The most notable of the changes in man-pages-5.01 is the following:

  • The tsearch(3) page adds documentation of the new twalk_r() function that is added in the upcoming glibc 2.30 release. Thanks to Florian Weimer.
