+Apologies if I missed anyone!
+
+Global changes
+--------------
+
+There was a major reworking of the CONFORMING TO sections
+in most manual pages.
+    mtk
+
+    * generally try to rationalise the names used for standards.
+      The preferred names are now documented as the head words
+      of the list in standards(7).  For the future: there is
+      probably no need to talk about anything more than
+      C89, C99, POSIX.1-2001 (or later), xBSD, and SVr4.
+      (In particular, I've eliminated most references to XPG
+      and SVID, replacing them with references to SUS or SVr4.)
+
+    * eliminate discussion of errors that can occur on other
+      systems.  This information exists only patchily in the
+      manual pages, is probably of limited use, is hard to maintain, 
+      and was in some cases simply wrong (and probably always was).
+
+    * Tried to ensure that those interfaces specified in C99 or 
+      POSIX.1-2001 are marked as such in their manual pages.
