79 * man(1) is mandoc. mandoc.db support added, eliminating the need for
81 * socket interfaces are now in libc. libsocket, libxnet and libnsl remain as
83 * socket implementation was modified to be more reasonable by default, and it
84 is no longer possible to choose an alternate socket implementation.
85 msg_accrights was removed and msg_control members are now always visible in
