There are two ways to access more up to date versions: 1. Download the PDF of the latest draft of Issue 8, currently draft 2.1 from August 2021. https://www.opengroup.org/austin/login.html 2. Request access to the troff source in gitlab. With this access you can view individual function/utility/header pages as troff source, although the numbered sections are in one whole chapter to a file, so it can be harder to find specific sections. You can also download the latest PDF builds. The Issue7TC3 branch has bugs tagged tc3-2008 applied; the Issue8 branch also has bugs tagged issue8 applied. (I usually apply bugs a couple of weeks after they are resolved, although I'm a bit behind currently as I've been concentrating on the C17 alignment changes.) If you want gitlab access, the person to ask is Andrew Josey. -- Geoff Clare <g.cl...@opengroup.org> The Open Group, Apex Plaza, Forbury Road, Reading, RG1 1AX, England
