Gidday,
The Linux man-pages maintainer slightly less proudly than usual announces:
man-pages-3.59 - man pages for Linux
man-pages-3.60 - man pages for Linux
Release 3.59 was exclusively about re-encoding various pages, and the
changelog, to UTF-8. Unfortunately, some encoding errors were *introduced*
in two pages, and I decided to just do a quick small 3.60 release
that fixes those errors.

Online changelog:

Global changes

Various pages
Peter Schiffer, Michael Kerrisk [Weizhou Pan]
Convert pages containing non-ASCII in source code comments to use UTF-8
Done using a slightly modified version of Peter Schiffer's
convert_to_utf_8.sh script. The script was modified so as *not*
a "coding:" marker to the groff source. For now, we'll only put
that marker on pages that contain non-ASCII characters in the
rendered text.

Convert pages containing non-ASCII to use UTF-8
Done using Peter Schiffer's convert_to_utf_8.sh script.
These pages containing non-ASCII in the rendered characters, and
so the script inserts a "coding:" marker into the groff source.
