This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
vt: provide notifications on selection changes
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: vt: provide notifications on selection changes
The vcs device's poll/fasync support relies on the vt notifier to signal
changes to the screen content. Notifier invocations were missing for
changes that comes through the selection interface though. Fix that.
Tested with BRLTTY 5.2.
