Yes, this new release brings some changes and the man pages need update.

Documentation fixes:
* Fix landlock_add_rule(2) documentation: 
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a13e248ff90e81e9322406c0e618cf2168702f4e
* Reduce the maximum number of layers to 16: 
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/75c542d6c6cc48720376862d5496d51509160dfd

New features:
* Add support for file reparenting with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER: 
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/b91c3e4ea756b12b7d992529226edce1cfd854d7
* Document LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER and ABI versioning: 
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/6f59abfae35fbbe688ff790ff9638576956d760c

Documentation improvements:
* Document good practices about filesystem policies: 
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/09340cf4135f942d56742b36aaa3c37738aba000
* Explain how to support Landlock: 
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/5e469829baa1b1320e843adf3631edef1d6d2cf2

For a complete overview: 
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/cb44e4f061e16be65b8a16505e121490c66d30d0

It would be easier to have a way to easily/automatically synchronize the 
kernel documentation and the man pages.
