+Global changes
+--------------
+
+- Build system:
+ - Add scripts to produce a book of the Linux man-pages.
+ - Add lint-c-cppcheck to the make(1) targets to run the cppcheck(1)
+ linter.
+
+- TH:
+ - Use correct letter case in page titles. This started in 6.02, but
+ there were still many cases left.
+
+- SYNOPSIS:
+ - Mark some functions as deprecated.
+
+- STANDARDS:
+ - Remove most references to ISO C89. We still document it in
+ standards(7), but it's an ancient language version that this
+ project
+ regards as obsolescent, so in the STANDARDS sections for APIs we
+ only take into account C99 and later and POSIX.1-2001 and later
+ (with few exceptions where older standards are relevant).
+
+- ffix:
+ - Change \- to - where appropriate
+ - Improve readability of numbers:
+ - Show BCD magic numbers that are meaningful in hex as hex,
+ rather than weird decimal numbers.
+ - Use IEC multipliers.
+ - Format ranges consistently using interval notation: [min, max].
+
+- srcfix:
+ - Use \[] escapes.
+
+
