Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
Avoid double negative in if_not_empty. Use of "not" and "until" in the same sentence makes it confusing. Moreover, use of "until" with something that doesn't describe an event or point in time is wrong.

While building nginx version 0.7.66, 0.8.35 or higher on Linux
the following warning messages are issued:

<programlisting>
warning: `sys_errlist' is deprecated;
    use `strerror' or `strerror_r' instead
warning: `sys_nerr' is deprecated;
    use `strerror' or `strerror_r' instead
</programlisting>

</para>

<para>
<initial>A:</initial>
This is normal: nginx has to use the deprecated sys_errlist[] and sys_nerr
in signal handlers because strerror() and strerror_r() functions
are not Async-Signal-Safe.
