 USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-6.5.5 and ACE-6.5.6
 ====================================================
 
-. Shorten output from `%t` (current thread id) for ACE_Log_Msg on non-Windows
-  systems
+. On Linux, the ACE_Log_Msg format specifier `%t` is now replaced with the
+  system thread id provided by gettid(), instead of the much longer pthread id.
