Global changes
--------------

- CREDITS renamed to AUTHORS.

- man/
- realloc(3): Clarify (non)conformance of realloc(p,0) in glibc.
- Don't use bold/italics for forward declarations of function
parameters. This differentiates them from actual parameters.
- fcntl(2) and futex(2) have been split into smaller spages that are
easier to read, and also easier to maintain.

Changes to individual files
---------------------------

The manual pages and other files in the repository have been improved
beyond what this changelog covers. To learn more about changes applied
to individual pages, or the authors of changes, use git(1).
