Gidday!

I'm proud to announce:

	man-pages-6.04 - manual pages for GNU/Linux

The release tarball is already available at <kernel.org>.

Tarball download:
	<https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/>
Git repository:
	<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/>

The most notable changes in the release are:

-  New APIs have been documented in proc(5) (KPF_PGTABLE), landlock(7)
   (LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER, LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE), and udp(7)
   (UDP_GRO, UDP_SEGMENT).

-  C89 information has been restored.  Information about old standards
   and systems has been moved to a new HISTORY section.  VERSIONS has
   been repurposed, and STANDARDS has been simplified.  Some functions
   have been marked as deprecated, according to their standards.

-  The build system has been improved to allow several operations that
   distributions usually perform, such as installing compressed pages,
   installing link pages as symlinks, or moving mandirs.

Thanks you all for contributing!

Cheers,

Alex
