+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+bind.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: Add getifaddrs(3)
+
+epoll_create.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document EMFILE error
+            This error is encountered when the limit imposed by
+            /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances is encountered.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify distinction between epoll instance and epoll file descriptor
+            Reword so that the notion of an epoll instance is made clear,
+            and made distinct from the notion of an epoll file descriptor.
+            Some other minor rewordings also.
+
+epoll_ctl.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Reordered parts of the text
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Introduce notion of epoll instance
+            Introduce notion of epoll instance as distinct from
+            epoll file descriptor.  Plus other wording clean-ups.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document ENOSPC error (new in Linux 2.6.28)
+            This error results when the limit imposed by
+            /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_watches is encountered.
+
+epoll_wait.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Introduce the notion of an epoll instance into text
+
+getdents.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Before kernel < 2.6.4, 'd_type' was effectively always DT_UNKNOWN
+
+gethostid.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Rename file (was misnamed gethostd.2 in previous release)
+
+getsockname.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: Add getifaddrs(3)
+
+signalfd.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix description of fork() semantics
+            The page text described the semantics of the initial
+            implementation of signalfd().  These were changed early on,
+            but the man page wasn't updated.
+
+byteorder.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: add endian(3)
+
+longjmp.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify wording re saving/restoring signal mask
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        siglongjmp() restores signal mask iff 'savesigs' was non-zero
+            Note that siglongjmp() restores signal mask if, and only
+            if, 'savesigs' argument of sigsetjmp() was non-zero.  (Previous
+            text omitted the "and only if".)
+
+memccpy.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix CONFORMING TO: s/C99/POSIX.1-2001/
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        If the memory areas overlap, the results are undefined
+
+sethostid.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Rename file (was misnamed sethostd.3 in previous release)
+
+setjmp.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify wording re saving/restoring signal mask
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify when setjmp() provides BSD vs System V signal mask semantics
+
+strsep.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        BUGS: explicitly list problems afflicting strsep()
+            Previously, the page said this function suffered the same
+            problems as strtok(), but in fact strsep() doesn't suffer
+            from all of the same problems as strtok(), so explicitly
+            list just the problems of strsep() in the strsep.3 page.
+
+proc.5
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add pointer to epoll(7) for description of epoll /proc files
+
+epoll.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document /proc interfaces for limiting kernel memory usage
+            Document the following /proc files that were added in
+            Linux 2.6.28:
+            /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances
+            /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_watches
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Various wording changes to improve clarity and consistency
