Major changes in release 3.9:
|
||
* --help gives one-line description of options and shows correspondence
|
||
between short and long-named options.
|
||
* 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
