+
+2005-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+

+ file system data. Also mention BFS and NTFS.
+
+2004-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+

+ by Stephane Chazelas.
+
+2004-12-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (join invocation): Mention that blank separators

+
+2004-12-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (id invocation): -G also prints main group.
+ Problem reported by Tim Waugh.
+
+2004-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+2004-12-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * getdate.texi (Time of day items, Time zone items):
+ Describe new formats +00:00, UTC+00:00.
+
+2004-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Say when --complement is useful.
+
+2004-10-01 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Document --complement and
+ adjust the documentation of -b, -c, -f.
+
+2004-11-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (du invocation): Use if=/dev/null rather
+ than :|. Problem reported by Dan Jacobson.
+ Use "seek=2GiB" rather than the wordier "seek=`echo '2^31'|bc`".
+ Say "KiB" not the (inaccurate) "kilobytes".
+ Similarly for "GiB" and "gigabytes".
+
+2004-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi: Changes inspired by Debian coreutils 5.2.1-2.
+ (General output formatting): -x doesn't have an operand.
+ (Formatting the file names): Warn that even with -N unprintable
+ chars are still printed as '?' some times.
+ (rm invocation): Reword rm -d to note that it's sometimes useful
+ on non-directories.
+ (logname invocation, users invocation, who invocation):
+ The utmp and wtmp file names vary from system to system.
+
+ * getdate.texi (General date syntax): "next" is 1, not 2.
+ Document that "second" isn't allowed as an ordinal number.
+
+2004-11-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+

+
+2004-11-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ seconds, and bytes per second.
+
+2004-11-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * Makefile.am (_W, W_): New macros.
+ (check-texinfo): Use them instead of assuming grep -w (which is not
+ portable).
+
+2004-10-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi: Document TZ better, and adjust to new getdate.texi.
+ (Top): Update menu.
+ (pr invocation, Formatting file timestamps, touch invocation,
+ stat invocation, who invocation, date invocation, Options for date):
+ Mention TZ.
+ * getdate.texi: Sync from gnulib.
+
+2004-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (Standards conformance): Use "head -10" rather
+ than "head -1" as example of obsolete usage, since the POSIX
+ consensus is that "head -1" could be supported even if we don't
+ yet have clear consensus on "head -10". See today's revision to
+ the SUS FAQ
+ <http://www.opengroup.org/austin/papers/single_unix_faq.html>.
+
+2004-10-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Options must precede operands.
+
+2004-10-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Overall lengths are
+ OS limits, not file system limits. Component length checks
+ apply to all components, not merely to existing ones. Say
+ that nonexistent names are not errors. For -p, omit all
+ checks based on the underlying file system, not merely length
+ checks. Explain what the portable file name character set is.
+
+2004-10-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Mention ISO/IEC 10646 as
+ well as Unicode. Various minor formatting cleanups.
+
+2004-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Move LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE
+ index entries to proper paragraph.
+
+2004-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Add `builtin' and `builtins' to
+ the list of words to avoid.
+
+2004-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (Special built-in utilities): New node.
+ (printf invocation): builtin -> built-in, for consistency
+ with POSIX terminology.
+ (test invocation, pwd invocation):
+ Use specific rather than generic language to warn about
+ built-in commands.
+ (chroot invocation, env invocation, nice invocation, nohup invocation):
+ Warn that command must not be a special built-in.
+ (env invocation): Warn about environment variables with unusual
+ spellings, or duplicates.
+
+2004-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Document "ls --hide".
+
+2004-09-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (chmod invocation): Warn about "chmod -w file".
+
+2004-09-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Fix bugs in the description of
+ the obsolete syntax (e.g., it does not support -k or -m). Warn
+ about usages like "tail -" and "tail -c 4" that are ambigous on
+ older systems.
+
+2004-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (mv invocation, rm invocation): Say "the response
+ is affirmative" rather than "the response begins with y or Y",
+ so that the documentation is accurate in non-English locales.
+ Problem reported by Munzir Taha.
+
+2004-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Distinguish between options
+ (e.g., --help) and operands (e.g., if=file). Move miscellaneous
+ stuff after the operand descriptions, for clarity.
+
+2004-09-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): -u disables the last-resort
+ comparison, too. Revamp its description.
+ (test invocation): Document -r, -w, -x more carefully.
+
+2004-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (Common options): Some programs don't reorder
+ options.
+ (tr invocation, echo invocation, printf invocation, test invocation,
+ expr invocation, basename invocation, chroot invocation,
+ nice invocation, nohup invocation, seq invocation):
+ This program doesn't reorder options.
+ (tr invocation): Mention --help, --version, --.
+ (echo invocation): Mention that -- isn't special.
+ (test invocation): Mention that the expression is optional,
+ and that test ! EXPR is like ! test EXPR.
+ Mention that -h and -L don't dereference symlinks.
+ (expr invocation): Mention --help, --version.
+
+ * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Add remarks about sort -u
+ versus sort | uniq. Prompted by a question from Andrew Noymer.
+
+2004-09-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (od invocation): Several changes for POSIX
+ and FreeBSD compatibility. Add support for XSI syntax
+ (POSIX 1003.1-2004). Rename -s[N] to -S N. Remove documentation
+ for -h. -i is now -t dI (not d2) and -l is now -t dL (not d4).
+
+2004-09-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (String tests): Improve quality of warning about
+ quoting strings for the shell.
+
+2004-09-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify which conversion options
+ are mutually exclusive. Give a bit more detail about ascii,
+ ebcdic, and ibm conversions.
+
+2004-08-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ POSIX-conformance fixes for "expand" and "unexpand".
+ * coreutils.texi: Standardize on "tab stop" (the POSIX usage)
+ rather than "tabstop".
+ (unexpand invocation): Use "blank" rather than "space" when
+ POSIX requires "blank". Define "blank". Initial blanks are
+ converted even if there's just one. For -a, convert two or
+ more blanks only if they occur just before a tab stop.
+
+2004-08-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (chown invocation): Fix synopsis:
+ group must always be preceded by separator.
+ "chown : file" and "chown '' file" don't change the owner or group.
+ Update the explanation of what happens to the set-user-ID or
+ set-group-ID bits, e.g., they sometimes are not cleared if they
+ denote mandatory locking. Change "find"-oriented examples to use
+ chown -h.
+
+2004-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Clarify how "printf" is
+ supposed to work with extra arguments, missing arguments, etc.
+
+2004-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ POSIX-conformance fixes for "-" used as an operand.
+ * coreutils.texi (Common options): Clarify that "-" means
+ stdin/stdout only when it is an operand, not when it is an
+ option-argument.
+ (shred invocation): "shred -- -" is equivalent to "shred -",
+ not to "shred ./-".
+ (tee invocation): "tee -" means to copy (again) to stdout.
+
+2004-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (nice invocation): Document the "nice value", and
+ how it affects the scheduling priority. (The old documentation
+ implied that the nice value equaled the scheduling priority, which
+ isn't accurate.) Document that the range of nice values might
+ exceed -20..19. Specify what happens when you give a nice value
+ that is out of range, or when you don't have permissions to lower
+ the nice value. Bash doesn't have a builtin 'nice', so don't say
+ "most shells" have one.
+
+2004-04-03 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (readlink invocation): Document new
+ "readlink -f" behaviour and new canonicalize options, -e and -m.
+
+2004-07-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Disallow `filename' in .texi files.
+ Spell it like `file name' instead, to be consistent.
+ Fail if a @footnote directive follows non-punctuation.
+ Fail upon use of @url. Use @uref instead.
+
+2004-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (Common options, Target directory, cp invocation,
+ install invocation, mv invocation, ln invocation): Add -t as a
+ short option for --target-directory, and -T as a short option for
+ --no-target-directory. Clean up relevant synopses a bit, so that
+ the language is similar for all.
+
+2004-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi: Put the right amount of space at sentence ends.
+ Make sure "i.e." and "e.g." are followed by commas (the GNU style).
+ Put blank lines before and after every @example, prefer the
+ previous line to end in ":" (when not a sentence end, for consistency),
+ and prepend @noindent to the following line when appropriate.
+ In examples, use "--" arguments when needed to prevent undesired
+ interpretation of operands as options.
+ Use "file name" rather than "filename", as per the GNU coding standards.
+ Remove unwanted spaces before @footnote.
+ Use "---" when appropriate, instead of " -- ".
+ Use "name" (or something like that) rather than "path" or "pathname",
+ since the GNU coding standards don't allow "path".
+ Use @acronym, @command, @minus{}, @samp in a few places,
+ where appropriate.
+ (Target directory): Clarify description of example.
+ (fmt invocation): Give issue number for reference, and reword
+ for clarity.
+ (sort invocation): Note that xargs without -0 also mishandles
+ file names containing some special characters other than newline.
+ (Translating): Mention that \012 is not universally portable.
+ Use '\0' rather than '\000'.
+ (Squeezing): bourne -> Bourne.
+ Fix unportable usage of '\n' by replacing it with '[\n*]'.
+ (More details about version sort): Remove unnecessary indent
+ in examples.
+ (dd invocation): Use 'kill -s USR1', not 'kill -USR1', as POSIX
+ indicates that the former is more portable (the latter is an XSI
+ extension).
+ (shred invocation): Use @uref rather than @url, and use a more-typical
+ style for the date.
+ (kill invocation): Clarify usage; for example, "kill -s TERM -1"
+ isn't allowed.
+ (seq invocation): Reword to avoid implying that printf necessarily
+ fails for numbers outside the 32-bit range. Prefer separating
+ options from their operands.
+ (Opening the software toolbox): Give an online reference to
+ Robbins's article, and give a date. Don't imply that the
+ current documentation is unchanged from his article.
+ (Putting the tools together): Rework examples so that they don't
+ assume the C locale; nowadays many users now operate outside the C
+ locale by default. While we're at it, don't assume ASCII either.
+ Indent example to match actual output from GNU uniq. Remove some
+ unnecessary and confusing brackets from 'tr' operands. "Software
+ Tools in Pascal" is back in print, according to Amazon anyway.
+ Add references to Kernighan's online copies of examples.
+
+2004-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi, perm.texi: Standardize on "file system" rather
+ than "filesystem", as POSIX prefers it with a space.
+
+2004-06-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (Common options, Target directory, cp
+ invocation, install invocation, mv invocation, ln invocation):
+ Likewise.
+ (link invocation): Explain how to rewrite link using ln now
+ that we have --no-target-directory.
+ (ln invocation): Explain that --no-target-directory subsumes
+ --no-dereference.
+ (unlink invocation): Modify wording to match new wording in
+ link invocation.
+
+2004-06-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document
+ --target-directory in synopsis, too.
+
+2004-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (yes invocation): "--" is now supported.
+ (false invocation, true invocation): --help and --version now
+ work unconditionally.
+
+2004-06-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi: Remove menu references to just-removed subsection.
+
+2004-06-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (tr invocation): Remove the section describing
+ how POSIXLY_CORRECT changes tr's behavior.
+

+ does with byte/character ranges.
+
+2004-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (tr invocation): Mention -C.
+
+2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Document today's changes.
+
+2004-05-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ chgrp and chown now dereference symlinks by default, per POSIX.
+ * coreutils.texi (chgrp invocation, chown invocation): Document it.
+
+2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document that "sort -m -o F"
+ might write F before reading all the input.
+
+2004-05-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Change IO to I/O.
+ * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Check for the above.
+
+2004-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention -k earlier, so
+ that the options are in alphabetical order. Describe how -b works
+ more-accurately; this involves fixing some examples, too. Mention
+ what happens if the start field falls after an end field or after
+ a line end. Warn about using -k without -b, -g, -M, -n, or -t.
+ Add an example of how to sort IPv4 addresses and Apache Common
+ Log Format dates. Remove a duplicate example.
+ (Putting the tools together): Use separate options rather
+ than agglomerating them.
+
+2004-03-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
+
+ cp -pu and mv -u (when copying) now take the destination
+ file system time stamp resolution into account.
+
+ * coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Document this.
+ (cp invocation): Document -u (it was missing!) with new behavior.
+
+2004-04-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

+ consistency in using @sc{nul}, not `NUL'.
+
+2004-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
+
+ * coreutils.texi: Use @sc{nul} consistently for NUL.
+ (du invocation): FILE0 -> FILE.
+
+2004-03-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+
+2004-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+ back on USER.GROUP parsing regardless of POSIX version, as POSIX
+ 1003.1-2001 allows that behavior as a compatible extension.
+
+2004-02-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (du invocation): Mention that using du's -H option
+ currently evokes a warning.

+
+2004-02-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (csplit invocation): Correct typo (s/LINE/N/)
+ in description of `N' pattern. From Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
+
+2004-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

+
+2003-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
+
+ Change ls -H back to the way it was yesterday, since this is

+
+2003-01-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+

+ thousands-separators) and for explicit size suffixes on output.
+
+ * coreutils.texi (Block size): Say that:
+ This affects display format as well as block size.

+ (tail invocation): 32k -> 32 KiB.
+ (What information is listed): ls -h is now equivalent to
+ ls --block-size=human, and ls -H is now equivalent to

+
+2002-06-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>

+
+2002-03-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Document that cp -r
