* Version 5.3.0.
+ Enable direct-mode I/O (bypassing the buffer cache), if possible.
+ Prompted by a suggestion from Kalle Olavi Niemitalo
+ in http://bugs.debian.org/207035.
+ * src/shred.c (direct_mode): New function.
+ (do_wipefd): Turn on direct-mode I/O.
+ (dopass): If a file's first write fails with EINVAL,
+ turn off direct-mode I/O and retry the write.

* src/tr.c (main): "tr -d a b" is now a fatal error even if
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. The POSIX SYNOPSIS does not allow this
option combination.
