            distribution, or have expressed interest in helping with
            man-pages maintenance, or have otherwise expressed interest
            in being notified about man-pages releases.
            If you don't want to receive such messages from me, or you

            If you want to be added to this list (which I store
            encrypted), send me a message.


==================== NEWS =========================================

Not much in this release.  It's actually a quite boring release, which
is good for packagers.  Nothing they should care about.

BTW, distros have started packaging the scripts provided in the previous
release (Debian and Arch already provide manpages-bin).
