* Version 5.3.1.
+ Restore support for usages like "head -1" and "tail -1",
+ even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001.
+ Fix bug with "POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 fold file -3".
+ join now supports a NUL field separator, e.g., "join -t '\0'".
+ join now detects and reports incompatible options, e.g.,
+ "join -t x -t y",
+ * NEWS: Document this.
+ * src/date.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (COMMON_SHORT_OPTIONS): Remove.
+ (short_options): New constant.
+ (short_options, usage): -I now always takes an optional arg.
+ * src/expand.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (shortopts): New constant. -DIGIT now always takes an optional arg.
+ (main): Revamp parsing of -DIGIT to let parse_tab_stops handle it.
+ Don't complain about -DIGIT.
+ * src/fold.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (shortopts): New constant. -DIGIT now always takes an optional arg.
+ (main): Don't preprocess arg list; that was buggy. Use method
+ similar to expand.
+ * src/head.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (header_mode_option): Remove.
+ (main): Don't complain about obsolete -NUM args.
+ * src/join.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (obsolete_usage): Remove.
+ (join_field_1, join_field_2): Initialize to SIZE_MAX to indicate
+ they haven't been set yet.
+ (tab): Now int, not char. Initialize to -1 to indicate white space
+ separates columns, so that we can use NUL as a separator.
+ All uses changed.
+ (OBSOLETE_LONG_OPTIONS, get_option): Remove.
+ (string_to_join_field): Remove ERR_MSG_FMT arg; a single format
+ suffices. Use xstrtoul for sizes; it suffices.
+ (decode_field_spec): Report an error and exit on failure. Return void,
+ not bool.
+ (add_field_list): Likewise.
+ (set_join_field): New function.
+ (enum operand_status): New enum.
+ (add_file_name): New args OPERAND_STATUS, JOPTION_COUNT,
+ PREV_OPTC_STATUS, OPTC_STATUS to handle the bewildering array of
+ possibilities with obsolete option parsing.
+ (main): Use it. Do not depend on POSIX version.
+ Check for conflicting options. Parse obsolete options -j1 and -j2
+ so that it is a pure extension to POSIX 1003.1-2001.
+ Allow '-t\0' to specify a NUL tab, stealing the code from 'sort'.
+ * src/nice.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (main): Always support -NUM option.
+ * src/od.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (short_options): New constant, which always supports -w[num].
+ (COMMON_SHORT_OPTIONS): Remove.
+ * src/pr.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (short_options): New constant, which always supports -S[string].
+ (COMMON_SHORT_OPTIONS): Remove.
+ * src/sort.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (short_options): New constant, which always supports -y arg.
+ (COMMON_SHORT_OPTIONS): Remove.
+ (main): Redo workaround for Solaris compatibility with -y.
+ This change isn't visible to the user; it just cleans up the
+ code so that we don't need posixver.h.
+ * src/split.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (main): Don't complain about -NUM option.
+ * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Don't complain about -NUM.
+ * src/unexpand.c: Remove posixver.h and its uses.
+ (main): Don't complain about -TAB.
+ * src/uniq.c (main): Don't complain about -NUM.

+
+ * src/nohup.c (main): If getopt fails, exit with status 127,
+ not status 1. POSIX requires this.
+ * NEWS: Document this.
+
* src/nice.c (main): Report proper program name when getopt finds
trouble. Problem reported by Behdad Esfahbod.
