This release is now available for download at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages or ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages The change of version number reflects a number of current and planned changes in man-pages. The most notable recent change is that my work on man-pages is now supported by a fellowship from the Linux Foundation (http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2008/06/man-page-is-now-supported.html ). A full list of the changes in this release can be seen at http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/changelog.html (blogged at http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2008/06/man-pages-300-is-released.html ) The most significant change in this release is that the POSIX man-pages (Sections 0p, 1p, 3p) are now split out into a separate package, which can be downloaded here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/man-pages-posix/ The split made sense because the POSIX pages are logically separate from the Linux man pages. (The POSIX pages are simply copies of text from the POSIX.1-2003 specification, which we have been granted permission to publish for Linux. The only kinds of updates these pages see are occasional formatting fixes, and of course updates when new revisions of the standard appear, such as the next revision due to appear later this year.)
