==================== Changes in man-pages-3.26 ====================

Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------

eventfd.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        Document EFD_SEMAPHORE
            Document the EFD_SEMAPHORE flag, added in kernel 2.6.30.
            Also restructured some parts of the text to fit with the
            addition of the EFD_SEMAPHORE text.

Changes to individual pages
---------------------------

sysfs.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        Clarify that this syscall is obsolete.
            And strengthen recommendation to use /proc/filesystems instead.

tzfile.5
    Michael Kerrisk
        Add information on version 2 format timezone files
            Updated using information from the tzcode 2010l release at
            ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub.
            (It's an open question whether or not a version of tzfile.5
            should live independently in man-pages. It was added to the
            man-pages set many years ago. For now, I'll follow a
            conservative course that causes least pain to downstream,
            by continuing to maintain a separate copy in man-pages.)
