man-pages-6.9 had a broken link page: FICLONERANGE.2 pointed to a
nonexistent page.  Thus, here's:

	man-pages-6.9.1 - manual pages for GNU/Linux

Tarball download:
<https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/>
Git repository:
<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/>
Online PDF book:

You are receiving this message either because:

        a)  (BCC) You contributed to the content of this release.

        b)  You are subscribed to <linux-man@...r.kernel.org>,
            <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, or
            <libc-alpha@...rceware.org>.

        c)  I have information (possibly inaccurate) that you are the
            maintainer of a translation of the manual pages, or are the
            maintainer of the manual pages set in a particular
            distribution, or have expressed interest in helping with
            man-pages maintenance, or have otherwise expressed interest
            in being notified about man-pages releases.
            If you don't want to receive such messages from me, or you
            know of some other translator or maintainer who may want to
            receive such notifications, send me a message.

This was broken.  And now I realize that the changelog didn't document
the rename from ioctl_ficlonerange.2 => FICLONE.2const.  The script I
wrote didn't handle renames.  I'll fix the changelog later (but not
include it in a bugfix release, since that's not critical).

Have a lovely day!

      moved to other sections such as VERSIONS, CAVEATS, or HISTORY.
   -  Fix incorrect nesting of EX/EE inside nf/fi.

-  CONTRIBUTING.d

      contributor had been confused by some old instructions.

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, or the authors of changes, use git(1).
