logs since a particular version (8.15 in this case).
Also mention in the truncated log where to get older entries.
(changelog_etc): Remove the no longer distributed files.
* build-aux/git-log-fix: Remove now unused entries.
* ChangeLog-200[5-8]: Delete.

NB: ChangeLog files are no longer manually maintained.
See HACKING for details.
2008-02-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
We *do* need two different version files.
One for tarball-only, the other to be updated any time we
get a new value of $(VERSION).
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Create .tarball-version in dist tarball.
* GNUmakefile (_curr-ver): Make git-version-gen use it.
* .gitignore: Ignore it.
Fix a typo in description of size suffixes: s/GB/G/.
* doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation, head invocation, tail invocation):
Spotted by Bert Wesarg.
* NEWS [6.9.90]: Mention the added feature that head, od, split and
tail now accept the standard size suffixes (kB, M, MB, G, GB, and
so on for T, P, Y, Z, and Y) on arguments to selected options.

2008-01-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Avoid "make distcheck" failure: newly-created man/*.1 files not removed
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .version.
(.version): New rule.
(dist-hook): Don't create $(distdir)/.version here, now that it's
being distributed.
* man/Makefile.am (common_dep): Use ../.version, not ../VERSION.
(../VERSION): Remove rule.

2008-01-26 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Work around Darwin9's set-GID-like group ownership inheritance.
This avoids another spurious Mac OS 10.5.1 (Darwin 9.1) test failure.
* tests/cp/preserve-gid: Accept a group ID of 0, as well.
Reported by Elias Pipping.
Emit "info coreutils 'PROG invocation'" into the man page,
rather than just "info PROG". The latter would often fail
or simply display the man page.
* man/help2man: Change the template.
Prompted by http://bugs.debian.org/399684
chcon: correct description of --no-dereference (-h) option.
* src/chcon.c (usage): Remove invalid reference to lchown.
Reported by Göran Uddeborg.
Ensure that each version string change propagates to man pages.

version changes. Instead, depend on ../VERSION.
(../VERSION): New rule.
* Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): Define.

Reported by Sven Joachim.
Avoid cp/preserve-gid test failure on Mac OS 10.5.1 (Darwin 9.1)
* tests/cp/preserve-gid: Set group as well as owner on ".".
Reported by Elias Pipping.
Improve a warning about non-portable "mv" usage.
* doc/coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Adjust the warning: moving a
dir-symlink-specified-with-a-trailing-slash works in a surprising
manner only on some systems. Reported by Tomas Pospisek in
http://bugs.debian.org/343652.
2008-01-26 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* src/dircolors.hin (TERM): Add jfbterm.
2008-01-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Clean up build-related rules.
* Makefile.cfg (gnulib_dir): Update comment.
* Makefile.maint (announcement) [cl_date, utc_date]: Don't set
now-unused variables.
* TODO: Update the note on getgrouplist.
2008-01-23 Zvi Har'El <rl@math.technion.ac.il>
Add a ";", so "make install" works with --enable-install-program=su.
* src/Makefile.am (install_su): Add a semicolon. (tiny change)
2008-01-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Avoid misinterpreting mgetgroups failure in running root-only tests.

2008-01-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Require automake-1.10.1, for its support of dist-lzma.

Version 6.10.
* NEWS: Record release date.
* README-hacking: Update to reflect existence of automake-1.10.1.
2008-01-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Update README.
* README: Remove a note about failing tests on SunOS 4.
On Mac OS 10.5.1 (Darwin 9.1), you'll need --disable-acl.
(Running tests as root): Recommend using "check-root", not "check".
2008-01-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Do not define-away __attribute__ when __STRICT_ANSI__ is set.
* src/system.h (__attribute__): Remove the __STRICT_ANSI__ disjunct.
It has been unnecessary since approximately gcc-2.6, and now, leaving
it would cause gcc -Werror -ansi to fail to compile csplit.c.
* gl/lib/randread.c (__attribute__): Likewise.
2008-01-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* NEWS: Mention the configure.ac fix.
* TODO: Add an introduction.
Remove a few entries. Update a few others.
2008-01-13 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

2008-01-13 Elias Pipping <pipping@gentoo.org>
* configure.ac: Correct a non-portable use of sed.
2008-01-12 Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* src/dircolors.hin (image formats): Add the .svg suffix.
2008-01-12 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Use new version of announce-gen.

--gnulib-snapshot-time-stamp option.
Use new --gnulib-version option instead.
(gnulib-version): New variable.
2008-01-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* Version 6.9.92.
* tests/tr/Test.pm: Prefer en_US.ISO-8859-1 to en_US.iso88591.
Suggestions from James Youngman and Pádraig Brady in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12218/focus=12227
2008-01-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
* README-hacking: Add Git to the list of required tools.
2008-01-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Fix a minor race condition when using cp -p --parents.
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): If stat fails on the parent
directory, do not add it to the list of directories whose modes
might need fixing later. Also, do not bother invoking 'stat'
unless the stat results might be needed later.
2008-01-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
parent-perm: avoid a bizarre test failure.
* tests/cp/parent-perm: Accommodate the situation in which
chmod ("dir", 02755) returns 0 yet fails to set the S_ISGID bit.
Remove uses of now-undefined Makefile variable.
* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Remove uses
of no-longer-defined variable, $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
2008-01-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
cp (but not copy.c): plug a small leak.
* src/cp.c (do_copy) [--parents]: Free the attribute list.
Make a racy test failure less likely to happen.
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Uncomment a debug "warn".
This change happens to make this test far less likely to fail.
With that statement commented out, this test would fail about
20% of the time on my desktop. Now, it's gone 100 iterations
in a row with no failure.
* NEWS: Mention the cp bug fix.
2008-01-07 Jan Blunck <jblunck@suse.de>
cp --parents: don't use uninitialized memory when restoring permissions
* src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Always stat each source
directory, in case its permissions are required in re_protect,
when setting permissions of a just-created destination directory.
2008-01-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
cp: add a test for today's bug fix.
* tests/cp/parent-perm: New script. Test today's change.
Based on reproducer from Jan Blunck.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add parent-perm.
2008-01-06 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

(td): New target.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
2008-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
touch: ignore "-d now" option, when appropriate
* src/touch.c (main): Treat "-d now" as if it were absent, if
neither -a nor -m is specified. Problem reported by Dan Jacobson in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2008-01/msg00010.html
2008-01-05 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
Avoid tr case-conversion failure in some locales.
* src/tr.c (skip_construct): New function.
(main): When processing a pair of case-converting classes, don't
iterate through the elements of each [:upper:] or [:lower:] class.
Reported by Gerald Pfeifer in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12218>.
* tests/tr/Test.pm [tolower-F]: New test for the above fix.
[upcase-xtra, dncase-xtra]: New tests, for a related code path.
* NEWS: Mention the tr bug fix.
2008-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

[4.1.11]
* `rm symlink-to-unwritable' doesn't prompt [introduced in 4.1.10]
[4.1.10]
* rm once again gives a reasonable diagnostic when failing to remove a file
owned by someone else in a sticky directory [introduced in 4.1.9]
* df now rounds all quantities up, as per POSIX.
* New ls time style: long-iso, which generates YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM.
* Any time style can be preceded by "posix-"; this causes "ls" to
use traditional timestamp format when in the POSIX locale.
* The default time style is now posix-long-iso instead of posix-iso.
Set TIME_STYLE="posix-iso" to revert to the behavior of 4.1.1 through 4.1.9.
* `rm dangling-symlink' doesn't prompt [introduced in 4.1.9]
* stat: remove support for --secure/-s option and related %S and %C format specs
* stat: rename --link/-l to --dereference/-L.
The old options will continue to work for a while.
[4.1.9]
* rm can now remove very deep hierarchies, in spite of any limit on stack size
* new programs: link, unlink, and stat
* New ls option: --author (for the Hurd).
* `touch -c no-such-file' no longer fails, per POSIX
[4.1.8]
* mv no longer mistakenly creates links to preexisting destination files
that aren't moved
[4.1.7]
* rm: close a hole that would allow a running rm process to be subverted
[4.1.6]
* New cp option: --copy-contents.
* cp -r is now equivalent to cp -R. Use cp -R -L --copy-contents to get the
traditional (and rarely desirable) cp -r behavior.
* ls now accepts --time-style=+FORMAT, where +FORMAT works like date's format
* The obsolete usage `touch [-acm] MMDDhhmm[YY] FILE...' is no longer
supported on systems conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use touch -t instead.
* cp and inter-partition mv no longer give a misleading diagnostic in some
unusual cases
[4.1.5]
* cp -r no longer preserves symlinks
* The block size notation is now compatible with SI and with IEC 60027-2.
For example, --block-size=1MB now means --block-size=1000000,
whereas --block-size=1MiB now means --block-size=1048576.
A missing `B' (e.g. `1M') has the same meaning as before.
A trailing `B' now means decimal, not binary; this is a silent change.
The nonstandard `D' suffix (e.g. `1MD') is now obsolescent.
* -H or --si now outputs the trailing 'B', for consistency with the above.
* Programs now output trailing 'K' (not 'k') to mean 1024, as per IEC 60027-2.
* New df, du short option -B is short for --block-size.
* You can omit an integer `1' before a block size suffix,
e.g. `df -BG' is equivalent to `df -B 1G' and to `df --block-size=1G'.
* The following options are now obsolescent, as their names are
incompatible with IEC 60027-2:
df, du: -m or --megabytes (use -BM or --block-size=1M)
df, du, ls: --kilobytes (use --block-size=1K)
[4.1.4]
* df --local no longer lists smbfs file systems whose name starts with //
* dd now detects the Linux/tape/lseek bug at run time and warns about it.
[4.1.3]
* ls -R once again outputs a blank line between per-directory groups of files.
This was broken by the cycle-detection change in 4.1.1.
* dd once again uses `lseek' on character devices like /dev/mem and /dev/kmem.
On systems with the linux kernel (at least up to 2.4.16), dd must still
resort to emulating `skip=N' behavior using reads on tape devices, because
lseek has no effect, yet appears to succeed. This may be a kernel bug.
[4.1.2]
* cp no longer fails when two or more source files are the same;
now it just gives a warning and doesn't copy the file the second time.
E.g., cp a a d/ produces this:
cp: warning: source file `a' specified more than once
* chmod would set the wrong bit when given symbolic mode strings like
these: g=o, o=g, o=u. E.g., `chmod a=,o=w,ug=o f' would give a mode
of --w-r---w- rather than --w--w--w-.
[4.1.1]
* mv (likewise for cp), now fails rather than silently clobbering one of
the source files in the following example:
rm -rf a b c; mkdir a b c; touch a/f b/f; mv a/f b/f c
* ls -R detects directory cycles, per POSIX. It warns and doesn't infloop.
* cp's -P option now means the same as --no-dereference, per POSIX.
Use --parents to get the old meaning.
* When copying with the -H and -L options, cp can preserve logical
links between source files with --preserve=links
* cp accepts new options:
--preserve[={mode,ownership,timestamps,links,all}]
--no-preserve={mode,ownership,timestamps,links,all}
* cp's -p and --preserve options remain unchanged and are equivalent
to `--preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps'
* mv and cp accept a new option: --reply={yes,no,query}; provides a consistent
mechanism to control whether one is prompted about certain existing
destination files. Note that cp's and mv's -f options don't have the
same meaning: cp's -f option no longer merely turns off `-i'.
* remove portability limitations (e.g., PATH_MAX on the Hurd, fixes for
64-bit systems)
* mv now prompts before overwriting an existing, unwritable destination file
when stdin is a tty, unless --force (-f) is specified, as per POSIX.
* mv: fix the bug whereby `mv -uf source dest' would delete source,
even though it's older than dest.
* chown's --from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP option now works
* cp now ensures that the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits are cleared for
the destination file when when copying and not preserving permissions.
* `ln -f --backup k k' gives a clearer diagnostic
* ls no longer truncates user names or group names that are longer
than 8 characters.
* ls's new --dereference-command-line option causes it to dereference
symbolic links on the command-line only. It is the default unless
one of the -d, -F, or -l options are given.
* ls -H now means the same as ls --dereference-command-line, as per POSIX.
* ls -g now acts like ls -l, except it does not display owner, as per POSIX.
* ls -n now implies -l, as per POSIX.
* ls can now display dates and times in one of four time styles:
- The `full-iso' time style gives full ISO-style timestamps like
`2001-05-14 23:45:56.477817180 -0700'.
- The 'iso' time style gives ISO-style timestamps like '2001-05-14 '
and '05-14 23:45'.
- The 'locale' time style gives locale-dependent timestamps like
'touko 14 2001' and 'touko 14 23:45' (in a Finnish locale).
- The 'posix-iso' time style gives traditional POSIX-locale
timestamps like 'May 14 2001' and 'May 14 23:45' unless the user
specifies a non-POSIX locale, in which case it uses ISO-style dates.
This is the default.
You can specify a time style with an option like --time-style='iso'
or with an environment variable like TIME_STYLE='iso'. GNU Emacs 21
and later can parse ISO dates, but older Emacs versions cannot, so
if you are using an older version of Emacs outside the default POSIX
locale, you may need to set TIME_STYLE="locale".
* --full-time is now an alias for "-l --time-style=full-iso".
Changes in release 4.1:
[4.0.45]
* dd conv=sync,block now pads only with spaces
* ls's -1 option no longer cancels the effect of a preceding -l
* regenerate configure using a patched version of autoconf-2.49e to work
around a bug in its test for a working memcmp function
* ls: fix off-by-one error introduced with the previous change
[4.0.44]
* ls: When given two or more arguments but the only one that exists is a
directory, don't treat it as if it were the only argument. Before,
`mkdir d; ls no-dir d 2>/dev/null' would act like `ls d' and produce
no output. Now, it prints `d:'.
* touch -d 'last friday' would use a timestamp that was one hour off
(e.g., 23:00 on *thursday* rather than 00:00 of the preceding friday)
when run such that the current time and the target date/time fall on
opposite sides of a daylight savings time transition.
This problem arises only with relative date strings like `last monday'.
It is not a problem with strings that include absolute dates.
[4.0.43]
* regenerate configure-related files using autoconf-2.49d
[4.0.42]
* Using ls's short-named `-H' option evokes the warning that the
meaning of `-H' will soon change. Use `--si' instead.
[4.0.41]
* fix bug in rm introduced in 4.0.38: `chmod 0 f; rm f' would no longer prompt
before removal.
[4.0.40]
* portability fixes, mainly for UnixWare 7.1.1
[4.0.39]
* cp and mv accept --strip-trailing-slashes, not just --strip-trailing-slash
[4.0.38]
* ls --full-time now implies -l; before, without -l it was a no-op
[4.0.37]
* portability fixes for SunOS4.1.1, Fujitsu (f300-fujitsu-uxpv4.1_ES),
and Unicos (alphaev5-cray-unicosmk2.0.5.X)
[4.0.36]
* `mv dir/ new-name' no longer fails on SunOS4.1.1U
* attempting to use mv to move a symlink onto itself no longer removes
the symlink
* `cp -R directory file' no longer removes `file'. now it fails and gives
a diagnostic
* The manual now warns that ls's --full-time format string is planned
to change in a future release.
* ls -l's timestamp format now depends on LC_TIME, not LC_MESSAGES,
as POSIX requires.
* ls -l now reports the year for files even slightly in the future, as
POSIX requires. This helps warn users about clock skew problems.
* `cp -d file symlink-to-some-other-file' no longer fails
* performance improvements for ls
[4.0.35]
* ln --backup=simple --suffix=SUFFIX once again uses SUFFIX
* install: Likewise.
[4.0.34]
* fix a bug (introduced in 4.0z) that made `chown 123:456 file' act like
`chown 123:123 file'. Other uses with a numeric group ID would cause
chown to fail when it shouldn't have.
* the chown and chgrp programs preserve set-uid and set-gid bits, even on
systems for which the chown function call resets those bits.
* `ls -L dangling-symlink' now fails (per POSIX) rather than printing the
link name
* dd no longer honors the just-added `B' suffix on skip= and seek= arguments.
* `mkdir no-such-dir/' no longer fails on NetBSD systems
[4.0.33]
* dd now accepts skip=nB and seek=nB, to advance past some number of bytes, n,
that need not be a multiple of the block size.
* dd (without conv=notrunc) now complains only when ftruncate fails on a
regular file, a directory, or a shared memory object -- not when it fails
to truncate other types of files, like /dev/fd0.
* chmod --changes (-c) once again issues diagnostics only for the files
with changed permissions
* mkdir now gives one diagnostic (rather than two) for certain failures
* mkdir portability fix for NetBSD
[4.0.32]
* touch now interprets a lone numeric argument of 8 or 10 digits as a file name,
rather than as a date/time in the obsolescent `MMDDhhmm[YY]' format.
* mkdir no longer sets the permissions of the final directory component
if it already exists (this bug, too, was introduced recently)
* ls's --full-time format string is now locale dependent
[4.0.31]
* mkdir: fix a bug introduced in 4.0.30 whereby `mkdir existing-dir' would
succeed. Now it fails, as it should (and used to).
[4.0.30]
* mkdir: fix a bug introduced in 4.0.28 whereby parent directories created
via `mkdir -p' would have permissions that did not account for the umask
[4.0.29]
* ls.c wouldn't compile on some systems: fix it
* `cp -R --parents dir1/ dir2' failed on NetBSD, due to a portability problem
[4.0.28]
* ls is much more efficient on systems (e.g., linux-2.4.*) that store file
type information in directory entries.
* shred now automatically determines the size of each block device argument
* ls's date/time format strings are now locale dependent
* mkdir, mknod, mkfifo, and chmod work better in conjunction with ACLs
* `cp --parents dir1/ dir2' no longer gets a failed assertion
* shred now determines the size of block devices like /dev/fd0
* `shred --exact file1 file2' now erases `file1', too
[4.0.27]
* install once again unlinks an existing destination before trying to open it
* mv no longer gets a failed assertion when moving a directory (specified with
a trailing slash) from one partition to another, and giving it a different
name at the destination.
* `cp --link -f src existing-dest' no longer fails (bug introduced in 4.0z)
* cp's new --remove-destination option now works with -R
[4.0z]
* `cp -p' once again preserves `special' permission bits (this bug was
introduced in 4.0y)
* mv's --force (-f) option now controls solely whether mv prompts (per POSIX)
* `cp -f' now first attempts to open an existing destination file, and only
if that fails does it resort to unlinking the file and retrying the open.
Before, it would unlink the file before trying to open it.
* cp accepts a new option, --remove-destination, that provides the old behavior
* cp's -f option no longer cancels the effect of --interactive (-i) (per POSIX)
* when ls sorts directory entries, it now honors the current locale settings
* dd's `skip=BLOCKS' operator once again works on systems with a buggy lseek
function (Linux, at least on SCSI tape devices)
* fix a typo in install-sh
[4.0y]
* cp now accepts the POSIX-mandated -H and -L options.
* cp -p and mv now try to preserve uid even if you're not root, as per POSIX.2.
This affects behavior only on hosts that let you give files away via chmod.
* du would fail when given `.' or `..' followed by other command line arguments
* Using cp's short-named `-P' option evokes the warning that the
meaning of `-P' will soon change. Use `--parents' instead.
* chgrp, chmod, and chown: when used with the --verbose option, might give an
invalid diagnostic (due to clobbered errno) when failing.
[4.0x]
* Fix cp so that `cp -r DIR1/ DIR2' works properly once again.
* New ls option --quoting-style=clocale acts like --quoting-style=locale,
except that it quotes "like this" by default instead of `like this'.
[4.0w]
* When `cp -pR' fails to copy a file, it now preserves permissions, owner,
and group of the containing directory.
[4.0v]
* df, du, and ls now round disk usage up and disk free space down
* df, du, ls: --block-size=N now works for values of N that are e.g.,
not a multiple of the file's block size
[4.0u]
* give proper diagnostic for mv usage error
* fix compile problem with lib/strnlen.c
[4.0t]
* `cp -d -u' no longer fails with certain existing destination symlinks
* rmdir and mkdir accept -v as synonym for --verbose
[4.0s]
* rm no longer segfaults on certain very deep hierarchies
* IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX: a running `rm -r' may no longer be subverted to
remove unintended directories
* cp can now remove unwritable files in interactive mode; contrary to how mv
works, cp's --interactive (-i) option does *not* cancel the effect of a
preceding --force (-f) option.
* all programs fail when printing --help or --version output to a full device
* install no longer performs chmod if chown fails (see ChangeLog for example)
[4.0r]
* `du dir/subdir1 dir/subdir2' no longer fails
* chown accepts new option: --from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP
* cp accepts new option: --strip-trailing-slashes
* install --directory (-d) may now be used to set special bits
e.g., `install -m a=rwx,o+t -d DIR' now honors the `o+t' part
* cp, mv, ln, install: document that while the --backup option takes an
optional argument, the -b option accepts none
* `ls -e' fails with a more useful diagnostic
* df produces better output for loop file system mount points
[4.0q]
* install -D bug is fixed
* chown now works properly when the specified login name contains a period
This is at the expense of always looking up the entire USER.GROUP string
as a login name first, and only then (upon failure) interpreting the `.'
as a separator and looking up `USER'. To avoid the extra getpwnam call,
always use the POSIX-mandated `:' character as the separator.
* `du some-other-dir' no longer fails if it can't open the current directory
* `mv DIR EXISTING-FILE' no longer removes EXISTING-FILE. Now it gets an error
as POSIX says it must.
* touch no longer hangs on fifos
[4.0p]
* various tools: quote multibyte characters correctly in diagnostics
* mv: portability fix for alpha
* dd: portability fix
* unified lib/: now that directory and most of the configuration framework
is common between fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils
[4.0o]
* Include lib/nanosleep.h.
[4.0n]
* cp, install, ln, and mv: when making backup files in verbose mode, these
commands now print the backup file name on the same line as the rest of the
information, e.g., `a -> b (backup: b.~13~)' rather than on a separate line
as all but ln used to do. ln didn't output the backup file name at all.
[4.0m]
* mv accepts new option: --strip-trailing-slashes (soon, many other
programs will, too)
* df no longer hangs when there is an inaccessible mount point unrelated to PATH
* rmdir --verbose no longer prints extra, bogus diagnosic upon failure
* fix df bug that made it print bogus values in the `Use%' column.
* touch -d once again parses dates with `hh:mm ZONE' time zone info.
[4.0l]
* ls -l honors a trailing slash on a symlink argument, per POSIX.
* shred no longer appears to infloop when asked to remove files in
unwritable directories
* `ls -ul' and `ls -uc' sort by name once again, as they should
[4.0k]
* mv may now be used to move a file onto a symlink to itself when that
symlink is on a separate partition. With fileutils-4.0j, it would
fail with a diagnostic saying they were the same file.
* touch would fail with the misleading diagnostic `no such file' when asked
to create a file in an unwritable directory. Now it says something like
`permission denied' or `read-only file system'.
[4.0j]
* mkdir may now be used to set special bits e.g., `mkdir -m o+t dir' works
* touch can now change the time(s) of a file you own even if you don't have
read or write access to it
* rm no longer dumps core after warning about directory cycles
* mv now refuses to move a file onto a symlink to itself when that symlink
is on a separate partition. Before, it would remove the file and leave
only the symlink.
* `install -d -g foo 1/2' now sets the `group' of the final component as well
as that of the leading one.
* df, du, and ls no longer divide by zero when an invalid block size is
specified through an environment variable
* under certain conditions, chgrp would fail to affect files referenced
through symlinks. Now it does.
* ln now makes hard links to symlinks on systems that support it.
* touch: no longer infloop on dangling symlinks
* cp, install, ln, mv: deprecate the --version-control option. Use --backup's
new optional argument instead. The old option still works, but now evokes a
warning.
* cp, install, ln, mv: the --backup option now accepts an optional argument
* cp, install, ln, mv: accept new option: --target-directory=DIR
* chgrp: accept new option, --dereference. --no-dereference is now the default.
* New ls option --quoting-style=locale acts like --quoting-style=c, except
with locale-specific quoting symbols (` and ' by default) instead of ".
* `df DIR' is less likely to hang due to bad NFS mounts
* As per POSIX.2, `df -P' now uses ceiling rather than rounding, and its
header now says `1024-blocks ... Capacity' instead of `1k-blocks ... Use%'.
[4.0i]
* `cp -f FILE FILE' and `mv -f FILE FILE' no longer remove FILE
* touch works once again (DST-wise) when certain `--date DATE-TIME'
values are specified.
* shred's -u option (short form of --remove) is now accepted
[4.0h]
* cp --one-file-system (-x) no longer crosses filesystem boundaries.
* touch can once again operate on directories
[4.0g]
* New large-file support for AIX and HP-UX, and for cross-compiles.
* shred's default options are now suitable for devices, not files, since
shred is more reliable on devices. shred now does not remove by default;
the old -p or --preserve option was inverted and renamed to -u or --remove.
* shred -u now attempts to truncate devices before removing them.
* shred -v no longer outputs carriage-returns; shred -vv has no extra effect;
shred -v now outputs to stderr.
* shred now tries to find the size of a non-regular file by seeking to its end.
* dd now opens the output file for *read* access only if `seek=' is used.
[4.0f]
* `ls --color' no longer segfaults
* dd works once again
[4.0e]
* shred --devices option renamed to -D so that -d, -i and -r can be
compatible with rm.
* shred -s/--size=N option added to specify the size of the object to be
shredded.
* `shred -' now shreds stdout rather than stdin. This is incompatible with -v.
* shred now does not need to read from its output file, so opens it O_WRONLY
* `ls -l' uses `+' to designate each file that has a custom ACL
* eliminate race condition that could make touch truncate a nonempty file
* No longer use *_unlocked I/O macros on systems (like solaris5.5.1) where
they're not declared, so selected executables (e.g., rm) that are linked
with shared libraries will once again run on solaris5.6 systems.
[4.0d (aka 4.1-b3)]
* ls recognizes solaris 2 `doors'
* new program: shred
* ln: Allow creation of a hard link to a dangling symlink
* cp, mv, install: --verbose now prints a message for each backup-related
renaming
* portability fixes for copy.c's code to detect move-directory-into-self
* upgrade to automake-1.3b
* upgrade to autoconf-2.13, and...
* remove some of the kludges in m4/*.m4 that permitted
[4.1-b2]
* concurrent `mkdir -p' processes no longer fail when creating the
same hierarchy
* argmatch.c has been fixed so that the unambiguous usage `ls --color=n'
no longer evokes an error.
* now, specifying an improper argument for an option that accepts enumerated
values evokes diagnostics like this:
$ src/touch --time=x file
src/touch: invalid argument `x' for `--time'
Valid arguments are:
- `atime', `access', `use'
- `mtime', `modify'
Try `src/touch --help' for more information.
[4.1-b1]
* ls --quoting-style=c prints correct octal escapes for certain nonprinting
characters in file names.
* fix `ls -R .' formatting bug that broke mktexlsr
* moving a directory into itself is properly diagnosed in more cases
* moving a directory containing hard-linked files now works
Changes in release 4.0:
[4.0-b7]
* rm -rf '' no longer gets a failed assertion on the Hurd
[4.0-b6]
* rm simply fails as it should (rather than segfaulting) for
`mkdir -m 0100 x; rm -rf x'
[4.0-b5]
* still *more* mktime.c portability tweaks
[4.0-b4]
* mktime.c portability tweak for headers with GNU libc 5.4.44.
[4.0-b3]
* mktime.c works around problems with Digital Unix 4.0A and 4.0D.
* mktime.c handles dates in the spring-forward gap the same way other
implementations do

[4.0-b2]
* man/Makefile.maint framework tweaks

* avoid `root `cp -a' from Netapp snapshot' corruption
[3.16y]
* `install -D' now works
* distribute maintainer Makefiles in man/
[3.16x]

output and the contents of new (though mostly empty), man/*.x files.
[3.16w]
* touch now interprets `-t TIME-DATE' as POSIX specifies
* `ls EMPTY-DIR EMPTY-DIR' once again outputs the directory names
[3.16v]
* portability fixes
* `ls -R EMPTY-DIR' now outputs the name of the directory
[3.16u]
* mv now fails (as it should) upon attempt to move a directory into itself
* `cp -a --one-file-system' now copies any mount point directories it
encounters on the selected file system.
[3.16t]
* cp (with --update) and ls compare timestamps with subsecond resolution when
available (e.g., on systems with recent Linux kernels and on Solaris 2.6).
* install once again does the -m-specified chmod *after* running strip
(this fixes another bug introduced in 3.16o)
[3.16s]
* df accept a new option --local (-l)
* touch works around a system-specific bug so it now affects existing,
zero-length files on certain systems
* chown now works even on certain SVR3 systems where it used to fail
[3.16r]
* include gettext's m4 macros
* minor cp bug fixed
* non-portable cp tests removed
* --without-included-regex now means don't compile regex.c
* rx support removed
[3.16q]
* `df', `du', and `ls' now accept a new option --block-size=SIZE,
where SIZE can be a positive integer block size, followed by an
optional SI prefix (e.g. `k' for kilo, `M' for Mega), followed by an
optional `B' (for ``byte'', indicating powers of 1024, which is the
default) or `D' (for ``decimal byte'', indicating powers of 1000).
SIZE can also be `human-readable' (for -h or --human-readable
behavior) or `si' (for -H or --si behavior).
* These suffixes can also be used by `dd'; e.g. `dd bs=1MB' is equivalent
to `dd bs=1048576'.
* The default block size for the `df' command is now obtained from the
DF_BLOCK_SIZE environment variable or, if that is not set, from BLOCK_SIZE.
Similarly for `du' and `ls'.
* The output columns of `df' have been adjusted slightly to accommodate
larger filesystems.
* fix gettext-related link failures seen when configuring certain ways
[3.16p]
* fix install bug introduced in 3.16o
* build/test changes only
[3.16o]
* chown accepts new option, --dereference. --no-dereference is now the default.
* install now shares core copying code with mv and cp
* mv (between distinct filesystems) now uses more of the core copying code
* fixed a bug or two in mv
* df once again displays negative numbers when that's what's returned
by get_fs_usage
[3.16n]
* `mv dir dir' once again does *not* remove dir/
* ls accepts new options:
--indicator-style=none (no indicators, the default)
--indicator-style=classify (all indicators)
(equivalent to -F or --classify)
--indicator-style=file-type (file type indicators)
(equivalent to -p or --file-type)
--quoting-style=literal (do not quote output)
--quoting-style=shell (minimally quote output for the shell)
--quoting-style=shell-always (always quote output with '' for the shell)
--quoting-style=c (quote output as for a C-language string)
(equivalent to -Q or --quote-name)
--quoting-style=escape (like c but omit enclosing "")
(equivalent to -b or --escape)
--show-control-chars is the opposite of --hide-control-chars
This option can be useful if output is to a terminal,
to override the default beahvior of hiding control characters.
* The QUOTING_STYLE environment variable can now be used to specify the
default value for ls's --quoting-style option. If not specified,
the default quoting style is 'literal', but this default may change to
'shell' in a future version of this package.
* ls's quoting style now affects operands in diagnostics, too.
* ls's --dired option now outputs the quoting style
using the format of the new --quoting-style option.
* ls's -e or --quote-shell option (introduced in 3.16j) has been removed;
use --quoting-style=shell to get its functionality.
[3.16m]
* mv can move (and doesn't read) special files
* remove maintainer mode
[3.16l]
* mv can finally move non-regular files between partitions
[3.16k]
* install accepts new option, -D
[3.16j]
* du accepts new options, --exclude=PAT and --exclude-from=FILE (-X FILE)
* ls now quotes file names for the shell by default, if they contain
characters that need quoting. Use -N to get the old default behavior.
The new behavior is also enabled by the new option -e or --quote-shell.
* ln --backup is now consistent with cp and mv in that --force is no longer
required when the destination is an existing non-directory.
* install accepts new option, --verbose (-v)
* mkdir -p is a lot faster when creating very deep directories on some systems
* rm -i no longer exits with status indicating failure solely because the
user declines to remove a file
* rm -r is a lot faster on some systems when removing deep hierarchies
* chgrp, chmod, and chown no longer give contradictory output when --verbose
is used and an operation fails
* ls's multicolumn option now uses variable width columns to conserve
vertical space
* install accepts new option, --preserve-timestamps
* du --megabytes --total now shows total in megabytes
* ls accepts new option, -h or --human-readable
* df, du, and ls now accept new option, -H or --si, for powers of 1000 not 1024
* df, du, and ls now consistently round to nearest, with ties going to even
* df, du, and ls now use `k' instead of `K' for `kilo',
and support larger abbreviations T(era), P(eta), E(xa), Z(etta), Y(otta)
* touch -d DATE now works on Unicos
* du accepts new option --max-depth=N
* rmdir accepts new options: --ignore-fail-on-non-empty and --verbose
* on most hosts df, du, and ls now overflow at 2**64 bytes, not 2**31 bytes
* all programs now work on large files on LFS systems like Solaris 2.6 and
Linux with the pre-2.1 development version of GNU libc.
* df now works with OpenBSD 2.1 beta
* cp -d FILE SYMLINK-TO-FILE doesn't erase FILE. Now it gives an error.
Changes in release 3.16:
* du --megabytes (-m) works
* ls -l works even on systems with non-POSIX strftime in their C library
Changes in release 3.15:
* touch --date=DATE bug (due to broken getdate.y) has been fixed
* ls -l no longer misformats the date when run in a locale for which the
locale's abbreviated week-day name (strftime's %a format) is shorter or
longer than the `normal' three bytes (with LANG=de it's a two-byte string).
* Using --program-prefix no longer applies the prefix twice
* ls --color properly restores color attributes upon completion when the
normal (`no') color attribute is not the default color.
* with ls -s --color, the `total' and size of the first file are printed
* ls --color stats symlinks and distinguishes between regular symlinks
and orphan ones.
* cp --preserve preserves owner and group of symlinks on Linux when run
with EUID == 0
* dircolors no longer accepts --print-data-base (alternate spelling of
--print-database)
Changes in release 3.14:
* ls --color highlights based on suffix rules only for regular files
* touch --date=DATE accepts dates like those in an RCS log listing, e.g.,
`1992/11/01 05:44:34'.
* install SRC DST no longer rejects non-regular, non-directory SRC
* df accepts -F as a synonym for -t for compatibility with Solaris
* cp -i /dev/null existing-file now prompts before overwriting the target
* ls --color highlights orphaned symlinks text on terminals that support it
* ls -l honors current locale with respect to abbreviated month names (and,
with --full-time day names) on systems with a locale-supporting strftime
function, e.g., ones based on recent versions of the GNU C library
* ls -l recognizes Cray's migrated dmf files.
* chgrp no longer aborts when given a group number larger than INT_MAX
* chgrp now fails when run by root with an unrecognized group name
* when possible, cp -p preserves owner/group even on symlinks in case
they're in a directory that has the sticky-bit set.
* cp --recursive --parents SRC DEST works when SRC is an absolute file name.
Changes in release 3.13:
* ls properly determines window size on SunOS and Solaris systems
* ls accepts new option --color[=WHEN] where WHEN is `always', `never',
or `auto'. --color=never is the default. --color is equivalent
to --color=always.
* new program: dircolors
* ls allows 0 as argument to --tabsize (-T) option. Using --tabsize=0
inhibits the use of TAB characters for separating columns.
* you can create a backup of FILE with cp --force --backup FILE FILE. Before,
that command failed saying that ``FILE' and `FILE' are the same file'.
* uses automake-generated Makefile templates
* chown and chgrp accept new option --no-dereference (-h)
* ln -f FILE FILE fails with a diagnostic rather than silently removing FILE
* when building on systems that have getopt_long (most GNU-oriented ones),
the system-provided function will be used -- so executables may be a
little smaller
* cp -p, and mv modify owner and/or group of symlinks on systems
(like Solaris) that provide the lchown system call.
* df no longer invokes the sync system call by default. You can use the
--sync option to make df invoke sync before getting file system sizes.
* internationalized diagnostic messages
* mkdir accepts new option: --verbose
* `cp file D/' uses the full file name `D/file' instead of `D//file'.
* cp --backup a~ a fails instead of silently destroying the source file
* df and du have new options --human-readable (-h) and --megabytes (-m).
* install now honors --backup (-b), --suffix=SUFFIX (-S SUFFIX), and
--version-control=WORD (-V WORD) options just as cp, ln, and mv do.
* ln --verbose output is less prone to misinterpretation
* ls -o works like -lG; for compatibility with other versions of ls
* cp has a new option to control creation of sparse files:
--sparse={auto,always,never}. --sparse=auto is the default.
* rm -rf '' behaves properly on SunOS 4 systems
* touch: rename long option name, --file, to --reference.
`touch --file' will continue to work a little longer.
* df fails if the same file system type is both selected and excluded.
* df works around SunOS statfs brokenness wrt filesystems larger than 2GB
* df better handles inconsistent mtab entries
* `ls -lDR dir dir2' works
* `ls -c' does what it's supposed to
* all programs include program name in --version output
* `ls --quote-name' works
* mv properly determines whether src and dest are the same file
Before, it could (though with very low probability) fail to do the move,
reporting that distinct source and destination are the same file.
* du --dereference (-L) works with directory symlinks
* du works on SunOS 4 systems even when accounting is enabled
* many programs that convert strings to integers now use strtol or strtoul
and detect overflow
User-visible changes in release 3.12:
* None.
User-visible changes in release 3.11:
* None.
User-visible changes in release 3.10:
* mkdir -p now ignores arguments that are existing directories. Before,
(contrary to POSIX spec) it would attempt to change ownership and/or
protections of existing directories listed on the command line. And
it would fail when such a directory was owned by another user.
* Fix bug in cp that made the commands `mkdir dir; touch foo; cp -P foo dir'
incorrectly change the permissions on directory, dir.
* df accepts a new option, --no-sync, that inhibits the default invocation
of the sync system call.
* ls accepts a new option, --dired, that makes emacs' dired mode more efficient
* skeletal texinfo documentation (mainly just the `invoking' nodes)
* ln accepts a new option: --no-dereference (-n). With this option,
if the destination command line argument is a symlink to a directory,
use that as the destination instead of the file in the directory.
* `ln -i no-such-file existing-file' gives a diagnostic and fails.
Before, if you responded `yes' to the prompt it would both remove
`existing-file' and fail to make a link.
* du no longer requires read access to all of the directory components
of the current working directory on systems with fchdir.
* touch -d 'date' is no longer off by one hour.
* New program: sync.
* Fix bug in cp that made the commands `ln -s . s; cp -rd s r' incorrectly
create `r' as a symlink instead of as a regular file.
* du's -S and -c options now work when used together.
Before, the grand total was always reported to be zero.
Major changes in release 3.9:
* --help gives a one-line description of each option and shows the
correspondence between short and long-named options.
* work around systems with BROKEN_STAT_MACROS
* work around problem where $(srcdir)/config.h was used instead of
../config.h -- this happened only when building in a subdirectory
and when config.h remained in $(srcdir) from a previous ./configure.
* GNU chmod treats symlinks the same way other vendor's versions do.
Now symlinks listed on the command line are processed (they were
ignored before); the permissions of the dereferenced files are
changed. Symlinks encountered in recursive traversals are still
ignored. This makes GNU chmod act more like e.g. Sun's.
* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of
some compilers on the number of symbols defined via -D.
* ls and cp can handle mount points on more systems
* cp, mkdir, and rmdir long option --path renamed to --parents; --path
will still work for a while
* cp, ln, and mv convert `cp A B/' to cp A B/A when A is not a directory.
This change affects only the two-argument form of the commands. It makes
such commands fail when the target has a trailing slash but is not a
directory or symlink to a directory and the source is not a directory.
They used to succeed, ignoring the implicitly contradictory trailing slash.
Major changes in release 3.8:
* install isn't as likely to produce spurious errors
* avoid redundant compilations for `dir' and `vdir';
* configure properly defines STAT_STATFS2_BSIZE on a Pyramid MIServer
running OSx 5.1
Major changes in release 3.7:
* none
Major changes in release 3.6:
* `ln -s dir_pathname .' works when the pathname has a trailing slash
* with the --version option programs print the version and exit immediately
* GNU ls -f works like Unix ls -f
* mktime replacement works
Major changes in release 3.5:
* adds support for DEC Alpha under OSF/1
* configuring with gcc uses CFLAGS='-g -O' by default
* all programs accept --help and --version options
* long-named options must be introduced with `--'; `+' is no longer
accepted since it is incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard
* chmod accepts long-named options
* dd conv=unblock doesn't hang
* new df option --exclude=fstype
* new ls option --full-time
Major changes in release 3.4:
* cp -p and mv preserve setuid and setgid bits
* chown works on systems where sizeof(uid_t) != sizeof(int)
or sizeof(uid) != sizeof(gid)
* catch errors from spurious slashes at ends of arguments
Major changes in release 3.3:
* df sped up by not calling sync for every filesystem
* df ported to AIX (RS/6000 and PS/2), and SVR2 port fixed
* df -i now also prints the total number of inodes per filesystem
* ls sped up by not reading symlink contents unnecessarily
* du doesn't die on POSIX systems when the root filesystem is NFS mounted
* cp and mv report chown Permission denied errors when run by root

[2.0.15]
* date no longer accepts e.g., September 31 in the MMDDhhmm syntax
* fix a bug in this package's .m4 files and in configure.ac
[2.0.14]
* nohup's behavior is changed as follows, to conform to POSIX 1003.1-2001:
- nohup no longer adjusts scheduling priority; use "nice" for that.
- nohup now redirects stderr to stdout, if stderr is not a terminal.
- nohup exit status is now 126 if command was found but not invoked,
127 if nohup failed or if command was not found.
[2.0.13]
* uname and uptime work better on *BSD systems
* pathchk now exits nonzero for a path with a directory component
that specifies a non-directory
[2.0.12]
* kill: new program
* who accepts new options: --all (-a), --boot (-b), --dead (-d), --login,
--process (-p), --runlevel (-r), --short (-s), --time (-t), --users (-u).
The -u option now produces POSIX-specified results and is the same as
the long option `--users'. --idle is no longer the same as -u.
* The following changes apply on systems conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001,
and are required by the new POSIX standard:
- `date -I' is no longer supported. Instead, use `date --iso-8601'.
- `nice -NUM' is no longer supported. Instead, use `nice -n NUM'.
* New 'uname' options -i or --hardware-platform, and -o or --operating-system.
'uname -a' now outputs -i and -o information at the end.
New uname option --kernel-version is an alias for -v.
Uname option --release has been renamed to --kernel-release,
and --sysname has been renamed to --kernel-name;
the old options will work for a while, but are no longer documented.
* 'expr' now uses the LC_COLLATE locale for string comparison, as per POSIX.
* 'expr' now requires '+' rather than 'quote' to quote tokens;
this removes an incompatibility with POSIX.
* date -d 'last friday' would print a date/time that was one hour off
(e.g., 23:00 on *thursday* rather than 00:00 of the preceding friday)
when run such that the current time and the target date/time fall on
opposite sides of a daylight savings time transition.
This problem arose only with relative date strings like `last monday'.
It was not a problem with strings that include absolute dates.
* factor is twice as fast, for large numbers
[2.0.11]
* setting the date now works properly, even when using -u

`write error' when invoked with the --version option
[2.0h]
* all programs fail when printing --help or --version output to a full device
* printf exits nonzero upon write failure

* portability tweaks for Solaris8, Ultrix, and DOS
[2.0g]
* date now handles two-digit years with leading zeros correctly.

[2.0e]
* stty: fix long-standing bug that caused test failures on at least HPUX
systems when COLUMNS was set to zero
* still more portability fixes
* unified lib/: now that directory and most of the configuration framework
is common between fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils
[2.0d]
* fix portability problem with sleep vs lib/strtod.c's requirement for -lm
[2.0c]
* fix portability problems with nanosleep.c and with the new code in sleep.c
[2.0b]
* Regenerate lib/Makefile.in so that nanosleep.c is distributed.
[2.0a]
* sleep accepts floating point arguments on command line
* sleep's clock continues counting down when sleep is suspended
* when a suspended sleep process is resumed, it continues sleeping if
there is any time remaining
* who once again prints whatever host information it has, even without --lookup
Changes in release 2.0
* disable stty tests (otherwise they fail) when `make check' is run via rsh
[1.16m]
* false and true now ignore --help and --version when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set
[1.16l]

* work around problems with my use of AC_SEARCH_LIBS
* fix a bug in id
[1.16i]
* portability tweaks for lib/readutmp.[ch] and src/date.c
[1.16h]
* seq with no arguments now elicits a useful diagnostic rather than a segfault
* portability tweaks to work around utmpname differences
* who works on Solaris
[1.16g]
* factor now uses uintmax_t, so the largest number it can factor is now 2^64 - 1
on systems with type `long long'.
* nohup no longer modifies the shell's search path
* `basename /' now prints `/', per the single unix spec
* `who --lookup' no longer erroneously reports `localhost' for IP addresses
for which it could not do a reverse lookup.
* `id user' wouldn't report a group id in some situations. Now it always does.
[1.16f]
* chroot now calls chdir ("/") after chroot.
* `date -s' now exits with nonzero status upon failure
* new autoconf tests detect bugs in vendor mktime from Irix-6.4 and SunOS4.1.4
Your executables will be a little larger on such systems because you'll use
GNU's mktime function, but date will work more reliably.
* hostid: new program
* `yes --help' and `yes --version' print those strings when the POSIXLY_CORRECT
environment variable is set
* who no longer does DNS lookups by default -- the new option, --lookup (-l),
enables lookups
[1.16e]
* pinky: new lightweight finger-style program
[1.16d]
* the groups script now exits non-zero and doesn't print anything more
when `id' fails
[1.16c]

* date -d DATE now works on Unicos systems
* add tests for factor and more for date.
* factor runs a lot faster for large 64-bit inputs
* date works with relative offsets involving the `next' keyword
Changes in release 1.16

* add tests for date
* date --date "02/29/1996 - 1 year" now works properly
Changes in release 1.15
* nice works with very recently-changed GNU libc getopt
* fix several bugs in m4 macros used to create `configure' script

* uptime configure test detects /proc/uptime on Linux
Changes in release 1.14
* fix bug in getdate.y that broke date's --date=DATE option on systems
like SunOS4.
* expr treats unadorned ? and + as literals. To make expr treat them as
operators you have to use \? and \+.
Changes in release 1.13
* two patches for ISC
* Regenerate all Makefile.in using a patched version of automake-1.1l.
[1.12s]
* lots of little bug fixes -- see ChangeLog
[1.12r]
* uname --processor (-p) works on systems that have sysinfo and define
SI_ARCHITECTURE.
* stty works better on systems like i386-pc-isc3.0

of the basic regular expression is `^'
* `id user' no longer prints bogus group list
* uses automake-generated Makefile templates
* date accepts new %V format
* date's %U and %W formats work properly
* nice option handling works with 2-digit old-style-option adjustments.
Now, `nice -18 -- nice' prints `18'. Before it printed `8'.
* internationalized diagnostic messages
* `date -d "01/01/1998 3 years" +%Y' now works properly. It prints 2001.
* New programs: chroot, factor, seq, uptime.
* date accepts new option: --rfc-822 (-R)
* date accepts new format, %z, for RFC-822 style numeric timezone (-0500)
* date: fix bugs in the handling of date -u +'%s %Z'.

like-named touch option.
* date can now format dates up to and including ones in the year 2037
User visible changes in release 1.12
* None.
User visible changes in release 1.11
* date accepts new option: (-f) --file=DATEFILE
* skeletal texinfo documentation (mainly just the `invoking' nodes)

and version number.
* Configure properly determines options for stty on SCO ODT 3.0 systems.
* `date -d' works better. Before, `date -d '4apr94'' produced
`Sun Apr 3 23:00:00 CDT 1994'.
User visible changes in release 1.9.4
* Repair stty option handling.
User visible changes in release 1.9.3
* `stty -a -g' gets a diagnostic
* `stty {-a|-g} any-other-argument' gets a diagnostic
* stty no longer ignores some of its arguments
* basename and dirname no longer treat `--' specially
* `basename -- file.c .c' generates a usage error. Before, it output `file'.
* `basename file-dist -dist' outputs `file'. Before it output `file-dist'.

Before, with the default settings ^Z did nothing.
* stty no longer gives an error message when it finds a spurious difference
(due to buggy tcgetattr/tcsetattr) between requested and current tty
modes under SunOS 4.1.x.
* stty no longer fails if the ioctl to determine the display width fails
when displaying settings.

* fix bug in stty
* stty accepts the new options status and flush on systems that provide them
* `expr 1 / 0' gives an error message rather than trying to divide by zero

* expr recognizes the string `0' as zero
* better support for Linux, Dec Alpha, and SGI Irix
* all programs (even true and false) accept --version and --help options
* uname's --version option is no longer equivalent to its -v option
* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of
some compilers on the number of symbols defined via -D.

../config.h -- this happened only when building in a subdirectory
and when config.h remained in $(srcdir) from a previous ./configure.

Changes in release 2.1
[2.0.22]
* `od -t f8' works once again [bug introduced in textutils-2.0.8]
* various portability fixes, and general clean-up
* various minor, corner-case bug fixes
[2.0.21]
* split accepts new option -a or --suffix-length.
* split no longer generates longer suffixes than requested; instead, it reports
an error when suffixes are exhausted. POSIX requires this behavior.
* The _POSIX2_VERSION environment variable lets you select which version
of POSIX the utilities should conform to. Its default value is system
dependent. Set _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 to cause the utilities to support
obsolete usage like "sort +1".
* The following obsolete usages are no longer supported when conforming
to POSIX 1003.1-2001, which (at the time this change was made) was thought
to say that implementations must reject most digit-string options:
expand -N (instead, use expand -t N)
head -N (instead, use head -c N or head -n N)
fold -N (instead, use fold -w N)
split -N (instead, use split -l N)
tail -N (instead, use tail -c N or tail -n N)
unexpand -N (instead, use unexpand --first-only -t N)
uniq -N (instead, use uniq -f N)
The following obsolete usages (options without arguments) are no
longer supported when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, which (at the
time this change was made) was thought to say that implementations must
reject options with optional arguments:
od -s (instead, use od --strings)
od -w (instead, use od --width)
pr -S (instead, use pr --sep-string)
[2.0.20]
* tr no longer gets failed a assertion for [==] or [::]
* The following obsolete usages are no longer supported when conforming
to POSIX 1003.1-2001, which says that arguments with leading "+"
are file names in these contexts:
sort +POS1 (instead, use sort -k)
tail +N (instead, use tail -c +N or tail -n +N)
uniq +N (instead, use uniq -s N)
* Warnings are issued for obsolete usages on older hosts,
unless POSIXLY_CORRECT is set in the environment.
* sort -m no longer segfaults when given an empty file
* sort -S now accepts 'K' as a synonym for 'k'.
* wc recognizes all locale-defined white-space characters, not just those
in the "C" locale.
[2.0.19]
* portability tweak to make lib/regex.c compile
* split translatable strings only in the middle of sentences
[2.0.18]
* sort could segfault on systems without a working mkstemp function and
with a gettimeofday function that clobbers the static buffer that
localtime uses for it's return value -- introduced in 2.0.17
[2.0.17]
* csplit no longer gets a failed assertion for this:
printf 'a\n\n'|csplit - '/^$/' 2
* sort detects physical memory attributes more portably
* tail no longer gets a segfault on Linux's /proc/ksyms
* sum -s produces the proper 16-bit checksum for large files
(this fixes a bug that was introduced in 2.0f)
* uniq is now about 3 times faster than the version from 2.0 on Linux systems;
the code uses lock-avoiding variants of common I/O functions
[2.0.16]
* tail -F no longer segfaults
[2.0.15]
* `head -c N' and `od -N N' now read no more than N bytes of input
* tail accepts new option: -F, equivalent to `--follow=name --retry',
for compatibility with the FreeBSD and NetBSD versions of tail.
* fmt no longer segfaults when using a maximum line width larger than 32767
* uniq's --all-repeated option has new modes to delimit groups
of duplicate lines: --all-repeated={precede,separate,none(default)}
[2.0.14]
* sort now accepts long options like "--reverse" and "--".
* sort now checks option syntax as POSIX requires, except that (as usual
for GNU) options can follow file names unless POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
For example, invalid positional combinations like "sort +1 -r -2" are
now rejected as per POSIX.
* The next POSIX standard will require that obsolescent 'sort'
positional options like +1 be treated as file names, not options.
Please use 'sort -k' instead.
[2.0.13]
* pr accepts new -D or --date option, to specify date format.
* The following changes are required by POSIX:
- If POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, dates in pr headers now look something like
'Dec 4 23:59 2001', with the exact appearance affected by LC_TIME.
- pr -h now affects only the center header string, not the entire header.
- pr no longer truncates headers.
* Spacing in pr headers has been adjusted slightly.
* `fmt --prefix=S' now works when S contains a byte with the high bit set
[2.0.12]
* sort has improved performance when using very little main memory
* sort has improved memory management
* sort is no longer susceptible to certain denial of service attacks
* sort no longer suffers from a race condition whereby an interrupt received
during cleanup could cause it to fail to remove temporary files.
This problem could arise only on hosts without sigaction.
[2.0.11]
* sort accepts new -S SIZE option, to specify main-memory usage.
[2.0.10]
* od is faster and more portable than it was in 2.0.9
* tail avoids an uninitialized memory reference
[2.0.9]
* od now prints valid addresses for offsets of 2^32 and larger, and allows
the byte offset (-j) and byte count (-N) arguments to be 2^32 and larger.
* tail now works with line and byte counts of 2^32 and larger, on systems
with large file support
* join now works with an 8-bit delimiter
* fix a compilation failure on some Solaris systems with wc.c
[2.0.8]
* od now supports 8-byte integers, assuming they're printable with e.g., %lld
* new program: sha1sum
* wc accepts new -m option: count (potentially multi-byte) characters
* wc's `--chars' option is now equivalent to -m, not --bytes as it used to be
* `cat -n' works properly when processing 2^31 or more lines
[2.0g]
* sort's --help output now warns that it is locale-aware
* tail: fix a buffer underrun error that occurred on an empty pipe,
also thanks to bounded pointers
* pr: fix a bounds violation found by Greg McGary's bounded-pointers-enabled gcc
It could have caused (with low probability) the columns on the last page of
output *not* to be `balanced' when they should have been.
* sort: if the -T tmpdir option is given multiple times, all the given
directories are used; this can improve performance for huge sort/merges.
[2.0f]
* all programs fail when printing --help or --version output to a full device
* cut no longer gets a segfault under some circumstances
* unexpand accepts new option: --first-only
[2.0e]
* `tail -f directory' no longer gets a failed assertion
* sort: big performance improvement when sorting many small files;
from Charles Randall
* configure and portability changes in m4/ and lib/
[2.0d]
* preliminary sort performance improvements
* tsort now works more like the traditional UNIX tsort. Before it would
exit when it found a loop. Now it continues and outputs all items.
* unexpand no longer infloops on certain sequences of white space
* unified lib/: now that directory and most of the configuration framework
is common between fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils
[2.0c]
* include lib/nanosleep.h.
[2.0b]
* portability tweaks for error.c vs. systems with deficient strerror_r
[2.0a]
* `tail --follow=name' no longer gets a failed assertion for a
dev,inode-reusing race condition
* sort and comm no longer consider newlines to be part of the line,
as this requirement will likely be removed from POSIX.2.
This undoes some changes made for textutils 1.22m and 1.22n.
* tail's (short only) -f option no longer accepts an optional argument,
so e.g., `tail -fn 2 file' works again.
* tail no longer refuses to operate on certain types of files
* fixed bug in tsort's handling of cycles
Changes in release 2.0
[1.22q]
* HPUX portability fix: md5sum would dump core due to use of libc's getline
[1.22p]
* portability fixes from Paul Eggert based largely on tar-1.13 reports
* `tail --pid=PID' now works even when PID belongs to some other user
[1.22o]
* tail accepts new option: --pid=PID
[1.22n]
* tail accepts the following new options (some of which were added in 1.22g):
--retry
--follow[={name|descriptor}]
--max-unchanged-stats=N
--max-consecutive-size-changes=N
--sleep-interval=S
* wc uses the POSIX-mandated output format when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set
* To maintain compatibility with sort, comm and join now obey the LC_COLLATE
locale, and comm now considers newlines to be part of the lines.
* use lib/memchr.c only if it's not provided by the system -- this means
that on systems with a fast library memchr function you may notice an
improvement. If you use a system with a buggy or signifcantly slower
memchr, please report it.
[1.22m]
* sort now considers newlines to be part of the line, as required by POSIX.2.
E.g. a line starting with a tab now sorts before an empty line,
since tab precedes newline in the ASCII collating sequence.
* sort handles NUL bytes correctly when configured/compiled with --enable-nls
* fix typos in my version of AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
* fix dates on config files so builders don't need autoconf/automake
[1.22l]
* sort no longer autodetects the locale of numbers and months,
as that conflicts with POSIX.2
* `join -tC' now works when input contains trailing spaces
* portability tweaks for Irix's cc
[1.22k]
* `sort -n' works with negative numbers when configured/compiled
with --enable-nls
* head accepts byte and line counts of type uintmax_t (so up to 2^64 - 1)
[1.22j]
* tail: fix bug introduced in 1.22i
[1.22i]
* tail now terminates in `yes > k & sleep 1; tail -2c k'
* `tail -f' now ensures that stdout is unbuffered
* fix a bug in cut to allow use of 8-bit delimiters
* pr accepts POSIX compliant options -s and -w,
the new capital letter options -J, -S and _W turn off the
unexpected interferences of the small letter options -s and -w
if used together with the column options.
* pr output has been adapted to other UNIXes in some cases.
[1.22h]
* portability tweaks
* Window/NT/DOS support
[1.22g]
* uniq accepts new option: --all-repeated (-D).
* Windows/DOS portability fixes
* new program: tsort
* tail has several new options
* md5sum can handle file names with embedded backslash characters
* pr accepts long option names (see `pr --help')
* new program: ptx (moved to this package from being its own distribution)
[1.22f]
* cut accepts new --output-delimiter=STR option
* `sort -o no-such-file no-such-file' now fails, as it should
* fix pr bug: pr -td didn't double space
* fix tac bug when using -b, -r, and -s SEPARATOR
* fix sort bug whereby using key-local `d' option would cause following
key specs to be ignored when any two keys (in the `d'-modified test)
compared equal.
[1.22e]
* remove maintainer mode
[1.22d]
* wc accepts new option: --max-line-length (-L)
* sort can sort according to your locale if your C library supports that
[1.22c]
[1.22b]
* od supports a new trailing `z' character in a type specification:
$ od -tx1z .

[1.22a]
* sort -c reports both the number and the contents of the first out-of-order
line, in addition to the file name.
* `head -c 4096m' is no longer treated just like `head -c 0'
now it gets a diagnostic about 4096m being too large.
* pr: For compatibility (also more POSIX compliant): Include default
separator `TAB' when merging lines of full length.
* When POSIXLY_CORRECT is not set, tail -N now accepts more than one file
argument, to be consistent with the way head -N works. If POSIXLY_CORRECT
is set, using two or more file arguments with the obsolescent form (-N)
evokes an error. To avoid the warning or failure, use the POSIX -n N option
or the GNU --lines=N option.
Changes in release 1.22
[1.21a]
* Fix a bug in tail when invoked with an argument like `+NUMBERc'
* Add test suite for tail

and multiple form feeds at different pages in each file
* pr now accepts: -h "", print a blank line header
* pr: when skipping pages (+FIRST_PAGE option) line counting (-n option)
starts with 1st line of input file (not of 1st page printed) by default
* pr accepts new option: -N, start printing with an optional line number
* pr -t retains `form feeds set in input files' (`don't destroy page layout')
* pr accepts new option: -T, equivalent to -t, but eliminate also form feeds
(`clear file')
* pr accepts the extension: +FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]
* pr -w and -s option disentangled (`use a separator' no longer destroys
column alignment)
* pr accepts new option: -j, merge lines of full length
* pr accepts the extension: -s[STRING], use separator string instead of
character only
* pr -b is no longer an independent option, balancing is always used
with -COLUMN (a requirement of unrestricted use of form feeds)
* pr accepts new option: --test, to run the pr tests with a constant
header string
* join passes all of its tests on Alpha OSF 4.0.
* sort no longer improperly ignores blanks in determining starting and ending
positions for keys with explicit character offsets

It is still accepted, but will be removed altogether in 1.22.
* tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' no longer fails when LC_CTYPE is set to
iso_8859_1 on Solaris -- or any other character set with differing
numbers of uppercase and lowercase characters
* split and tail diagnose unrecognized multiplier suffixes, in e.g.,
`split --bytes=1M' (should be `-b 1m' or `--bytes=1m')
* fix bug in md5sum's handling of partial reads

failure that suggested cross-compiling was the cause
* distribute test suites for cut, join, sort, and tr
* unexpand no longer gets in endless loop
* when verifying checksums, md5sum uses the binary mode flag from the
input stream rather than the one from the command line
Changes in release 1.19
* md5sum can verify digests of files with names containing newline characters
* update from gettext-0.10.20.
Changes in release 1.18
* when building sort, link with -lm on systems that use the replacement strtod
* update from gettext-0.10.17.
Changes in release 1.17
* include texinfo.tex in the distribution
Changes in release 1.16
* sort is compatible with Unix sort when a key-end spec refers to the N'th
character in a field that has fewer than N characters
* tail with old-style options like -20k and +31m operates on units of bytes,

* sort -n properly orders invalid integers with respect to valid integers
* sorting works with character offsets larger than corresponding field width
* sort's -b option and `b' modifier work
* sort -k2,2 works.
* csplit detects integer overflow when converting command line arguments
* sort accepts new option/flag, -g, for sorting numbers in scientific notation
* join accepts POSIX `-o 0' field specifier.
* tr 'a[b*512]' '[a*]' < /dev/null terminates
* tr '[:*3][:digit:]' 'a-m' and tr 'a[=*2][=c=]' 'xyyz' no longer fail
* special characters in tr's string1 and string2 may be escaped with backslash
User-visible changes in release 1.13
* md5sum: with --check, distinguish between open/read failure and bad checksum
* md5sum: remove -h, -s, -v short options

* expand no longer seg faults with very long tab lists
User-visible changes in release 1.11
* fmt is built
User-visible changes in release 1.10
* skeletal texinfo documentation (mainly just the `invoking' nodes)
* new program: fmt
* tail -f on multiple files reports file truncation
* tail -q has been fixed so it never prints headers
* wc -c is much faster when operating on non-regular files
* unexpand gives a diagnostic (rather than a segfault) when given a name of
a nonexistent file.
* cat, csplit, head, split, sum, tac, tail, tr, and wc no longer fail
gratuitously when continued after a suspended read or write system call.
* cut interprets -d '' to mean `use the NUL byte as the delimiter' rather
than reporting that no delimiter was specified and failing.
* `echo a:b:c: | cut -d: -f3,4' prints `c:'. Before it printed just `c'.
* cut has been rewritten, is markedly faster for large inputs, and passes a
fairly large test suite.
* sort properly handles the argument to the -T option.
Major changes in release 1.9.1:
* cut no longer ignores the last line of input when that line lacks a
trailing newline character
Major changes in release 1.9:
* `echo a:b:c: | cut -d: -f3-' prints `c:' and
`echo a:b | cut -d: -f1' prints `a'.

Before, it wouldn't stop for n less than 8.
* sort accepts and ignores -y[string] options for compatibilty with Solaris.
* cat -v /dev/null works on more systems

* fix bug in cut. Now `echo 'a:b:c:' | cut -d: -f3-' works.
Before it printed `c' instead of `c:'
* csplit allows repeat counts to be specified via `{*}'.
* csplit accepts a new option, --suffix=format that supercedes the
--digits option. The --digits option will continue to work.
* csplit accepts a new option, --elide-empty-files.
* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of
some compilers on the number of symbols defined via -D.
* work around problem where $(srcdir)/config.h was used instead of
../config.h -- this happened only when building in a subdirectory
and when config.h remained in $(srcdir) from a previous ./configure.
Major changes in release 1.8:
* added non-ANSIfied version of memchr.c from GNU libc.
Major changes in release 1.7:
* none
Major changes in release 1.6:
* with the --version option programs print the version and exit immediately
* pr -2a really terminates
* pr -n produces multi-column output
Major changes in release 1.5:
* sort is 8-bit clean
* sort's -n and -M options no longer imply -b
* several bugs in sort have been fixed

* od --compatible accepts pre-POSIX arguments
* pr -2a terminates
Major changes in release 1.4:
* add od and cksum programs
* move cmp to GNU diff distribution
* tail -f works for multiple files
* pr prints the file name in error messages
* fix some off by 1 errors in pr and fold
* optimize wc -c on regular files
