+
+Global changes
+--------------
+
+Many pages
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Global fix: remove unneeded double quotes in .SH headings
+
+Many pages
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Global fix: remove unneeded double quotes in .SS headings
+
+Many pages
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Global fix: use consistent capitalization in .SS headings
+            Capitalization in .SS sections across pages (and sometimes even
+            within a single page) is wildly inconsistent. Make it consistent.
+            Capitalize first word in heading, but otherwise use lower case,
+            except where English usage (e.g., proper nouns) or programming
+            language requirements (e.g., identifier names) dictate otherwise.
+Many pages
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Denys Vlasenko]
+        Remove double blank lines in output
+
+Various pages
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix order of SH sections
+
+
+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+accept.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        NAME: Add "accept4"
+
+access.2
+    Colin Walters
+        Note that access() may also fail for FUSE
+            Since in some cases (e.g. libguestfs's guestmount) it also has the
+            semantics where files can appear owned by root, but are actually
+            mutable by the user, despite what one might infer from the Unix
+            permissions.
+
+getpeername.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Kai Kunschke]
+        Clarify semantics of getpeername() for datagram sockets
+            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674034
+
+getuid.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Remove duplicate section heading
+
+mmap.2
+    Cyril Hrubis
+        Add note about partial page in BUGS section
+            This adds a note about Linux behavior with partial page at the end
+            of the object. The problem here is that a page that contains only
+            part of a file (because the file size is not multiple of PAGE_SIZE)
+            stays in page cache even after the mapping is unmapped and the file
+            is closed. So if some process dirties such page, other mappings
+            will see the changes rather than zeroes.
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Török Edwin]
+        Some 'flags' values require a feature test macro to be defined
+            Add text to NOTES noting that some MAP_* constants are
+            defined only if a suitable feature test macro is defined.
+            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542601
+    Cyril Hrubis
+        Document EOVERFLOW error
+
+open.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify list of file creation flags
+            POSIX.1-2008 TC1 clarified this, so that O_CLOEXEC,
+            O_DIRECTORY, and O_NOFOLLOW are also in this list.
+
+prctl.2
+    Cyrill Gorcunov
+        Add some details for PR_GET_TID_ADDRESS
+
+read.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Zack Weinberg]
+        Clarify interaction of count==0 and error checking
+            POSIX deliberately leaves this case open, so the man
+            page should be less specific about what happens.
+
+            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533232
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Marc Lehmann]
+        Remove crufty text about O_NONBLOCK on files
+            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700529
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify details for seekable files
+
+unimplemented.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Peter Schiffer]
+        Add various STREAMS interfaces to NAME
+            Taken from Red Hat downstream.
+
+            See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436407
+
+cexp2.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Still does not exist in glibc 2.17
+
+exit.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note that a call to execve() clears exit handler registrations
+
+getaddrinfo.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: Add gai.conf(5)
+
+malloc_trim.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Remove duplicate section title
+
+printf.3
+    Marshel Abraham  [Graham Gower, Graham Gower]
+        Fix error handling in example code
+            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23282
+
+pthread_yield.3
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Aristeu Rozanski]
+        Add _GNU_SOURCE feature test macro to SYNOPSIS
+
+resolver.3
+resolv.conf.5
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Nathan Stratton Treadway, Simon Heimberg]
+        RES_DEBUG is only available if glibc is compiled with debug support
+            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692136
+            and https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43061
+
+strtol.3
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Peter Schiffer]
+        Remove crufty text from previous fix
+
+core.5
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document CONFIG_COREDUMP
+
+capabilities.7
+    Andrey Vagin
+        Nonexistent bits are no longer shown as set in /proc/PID/status Cap*
+
+inotify.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        A monitoring process can't easily distinguish events triggered by itself
+
+ip.7
+    Flavio Leitner  [Peter Schiffer]
+        Improve explanation about calling listen() or connect()
+
+man-pages.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Describe rules for capitalization in .SS headings
+
+rtnetlink.7
+    Pavel Emelyanov
+        Add info about ability to create links with given index
+            Since kernel v3.7 the RTM_NEWLINK message now accepts nonzero
+            values in ifi_index field. Mention this fact in the respective
+            rtnetlink.7 section.
+
+socket.7
+    Pavel Emelyanov
+        SO_BINDTODEVICE is now readable
+            SO_BINDTODEVICE is readable since since kernel 3.8.
