* Version 5.3.1.
+ * NEWS: dd seek=N now conforms to POSIX if the output isn't seekable.
+ * src/dd.c (skip): Return the number of records that were not
+ skipped due to encountering EOF.
+ (dd_copy): If the file wasn't seekable and EOF was encountered,
+ write zeros past EOF until the desired offset is reached.
+
* NEWS: expr and test now correctly compare integers of unlimited size.
(Also, correct a comment that claimed that expr detects integer
overflow; it does so only when converting from strings.)
