From 6d88b330f25769551338366f1f081fd58b58b44b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Fleischer Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 13:01:21 +0200 Subject: doc/manual.txt: Update note file naming scheme We are now using hash-based note file names instead of mkstemp() (cf. commit 5c6a00ee93e54cc044aee5146e9fcfbcb732a2ee). Update the documentation accordingly. Also, add a note on the garbage collector we added in 8d71923d4f498c8d2fcb22a72346e3e77a7c4a5b.
