Date: Mon, 02 Mar 2015 17:41:20 +0100 From: "Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" <mtk.manpages@...il.com> To: lkml <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> CC: mtk.manpages@...il.com Subject: man-pages-3.81 is released Gidday, The Linux man-pages maintainer proudly announces: man-pages-3.81 - man pages for Linux Tarball download: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/download.html Git repository: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/ Online changelog: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/changelog.html#release_3.81 A short summary of the release is blogged at: http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2015/03/man-pages-381-is-released.html === The changes in man-pages-3.81 relate exclusively to the (glibc) thread-safety markings in various man pages. More than 400 patches, mainly by Ma Shimiao and Peng Haitao of Fujitsu brought the following changes: * Thread-safety information has been added to many more pages. * The thread-safety notation in man-pages has been made consistent with the notation used in the GNU C Library Manual. * Thread-safety information in man-pages has been checked for consistency with the same information in the GNU C Library Manual. In some cases these, this has resulted in refinements to the markings in man-pages. * The thread-safety information in man-pages has been been converted from a plain text layout to a tabular layout, for ease of reading. By now, thanks mainly to the work of Peng Haitao and Ma Shimiao, nearly 400 of the (around 980) pages in man-pages carry thread-safety information. In addition, a new attributes(7) man page, based on text supplied by Alexandre Oliva (who was responsible for adding thread-safety information to the GNU C Library manual) provides an overview of the thread-safety concepts documented in man-pages, and a description of the notation used in man-pages to describe the thread safety of functions. (Thanks also to Carlos O'Donell for helping us to obtain the permissions needed so that man-pages could recycle this text from the GNU C Library manual.).
