+	unless the stat results might be needed later.
+
+2008-01-08  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+	parent-perm: avoid a bizarre test failure.

+	chmod ("dir", 02755) returns 0 yet fails to set the S_ISGID bit.
+
+	Remove uses of now-undefined Makefile variable.
+	* src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD): Remove uses
+	of no-longer-defined variable, $(LIB_ACL_TRIVIAL).
+
+2008-01-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+	cp (but not copy.c): plug a small leak.
+	* src/cp.c (do_copy) [--parents]: Free the attribute list.
+
+	Make a racy test failure less likely to happen.
+	* tests/misc/tty-eof: Uncomment a debug "warn".

+	in a row with no failure.
+
+	* NEWS: Mention the cp bug fix.
