+Global changes
+--------------
+
+Various pages
+    Kir Kolyshkin
+        Trivial punctuation fixes in SEE ALSO
+            In SEE ALSO, when a few man pages are referenced, those
+            are divided by commas.  Every reference is on a separate
+            line, and all lines but the last one should end with
+            comma. I spotted one place where there is no comma in
+            between references, and mocked up an awk script to find
+            similar places:
+
+            for f in man*/*; do
+                awk '
+                    /^.SH ["]SEE ALSO["]/ {
+                        sa=1; print "== " FILENAME " =="; print; next
+                    }
+                    /^\.(PP|SH)/ {
+                        sa=0; no=0; next
+                    }
+                    /^\.BR/ {
+                        if (sa==1) {
+                            print;
+                            if (no == 1)
+                                print "Missing comma in " FILENAME " +" FNR-1; no=0
+                        }
+                    }
+                    /^\.BR .*)$/ {
+                        if (sa==1)
+                            no=1;
+                        next
+                    }
+                    /\.\\"/ {next}
+                    /.*/ {
+                        if (sa==1) {
+                            print; next
+                        }
+                    }
+                ' $f;
+            done | fgrep 'Missing comma'
+
+            This patch fixes all the places found by the above script.
+
+            Also, there is an extra dot at the end of uri.7 "SEE ALSO"
+            section.  Removed as per man-pages(7) recommendation.
+
+
+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+getitimer.2, clock_getcpuclockid.3, time.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: add timer_create(2)
+
+getitimer.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Rename arguments for consistency with other timer pages
+            Also some other minor wording improvements
+
+splice.2
+    Mark Hills
+        ERRORS: Add EINVAL case for file opened O_APPEND
+            Target file cannot be opened in append (O_APPEND) mode
+
+            In kernels prior to v2.6.27 splice() to a file in
+            append mode is broken, and since that version it is
+            disallowed. It is possible this behaviour may change
+            in the future; see the kernel commit message
+            (efc968d450e013049a662d22727cf132618dcb2f) for more
+            information.
+
+syscalls.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note that getpmsg(2) and putmsg(2) are unimplemented
+            See See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514771
+
+timerfd_create.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        ERRORS: add EFAULT
+
+timerfd_create.2
