  leads to lower overall process restart latency, so there is benefit both
  from a security and performance perspective.

* Support of two grammatical forms of month names has been added.
  It has been precised that the month names returned by nl_langinfo with
  MON_1..12 and ABMON_1..12, and formatted by strftime with "%B" and "%b"
  format specifiers are in the grammatical form used when the month forms
  part of a complete date.  New series of valid arguments have been added
  to nl_langinfo: ALTMON_1..12 and _NL_ABALTMON_1..12 and the "O" modifier
  is supported with "%B" and "%b" format specifiers by strftime, they
  generate the month names in the grammatical form used when the month is
  named by itself.  This feature is required by several languages, mostly
  Slavic and Baltic but also Greek and probably more.  In other languages
  which do not need this feature the output month names will be the same
  for both old and new arguments of nl_langinfo and strftime.

Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:

* On GNU/Linux, the obsolete Linux constant PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL is no longer




@itemx ABMON_10
@itemx ABMON_11
@itemx ABMON_12
The return value is abbreviated name of the month, in the grammatical form
used when the month forms part of a complete date.  @code{ABMON_1}
corresponds to January.
@item MON_1
@itemx MON_2

@itemx MON_12
Similar to @code{ABMON_1} etc., but here the month names are not abbreviated.
Here the first value @code{MON_1} also corresponds to January.

@itemx ALTMON_11
@itemx ALTMON_12
Similar to @code{MON_1} etc., but here the month names are in the grammatical
form used when the month is named by itself.  The @code{strftime} functions
use this information when the modifier @code{O} is used in a format specifier
@code{B}.  Here the first value @code{ALTMON_1} also corresponds to January.

Note that in locales which do not need different grammatical forms of the
month names (including English) the return values are identical to those
returned by the corresponding @code{MON_@dots{}} values.
@item AM_STR
@itemx PM_STR
The return values are strings which can be used in the representation of time
