* Version 5.3.1.
+ Address the following "du" issues:
+
+ - The option name "--last-time=TYPE" is different from the ls's option
+ "--time=TYPE" with a similar meaning. I assume this wasn't intended.
+
+ - --time-style implies --time, but this is not true for "ls". It's
+ better to be consistent.
+
+ - Since we don't have POSIX compatibility concerns, there's no need
+ for the "posix-" styles, or for support of styles with newlines, or
+ for the "locale" style, except for parsing the TIME_STYLE
+ environment variable.
+
+ - It's cleaner (and these days, no less efficient) to use functions
+ rather than macros when possible.
+
+ - struct duinfo doesn't need a 'valid' flag; you can simply use a time
+ stamp that is less than all valid time stamps.
+
+ - The code needs a bit of reformatting to fit the usual GNU style.
+
+ * NEWS: du's --last-time option is now --time.
+ * doc/coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Fix typo: --time=use is
+ equivalent to --time=atime, not --time=ctime.
+ (ls invocation, du invocation): Fix typo: --time-style=long-iso
+ is equivalent to a time style with a leading "+".
+ (du invocation): --last-time is now --time.
+ --time-style no longer implies --time.
+ The locale and posix- stuff now works only for TIME_STYLE, not
+ for --time-style. Give equivalent format for --time-style=iso.
+ * src/du.c: Do not include hard-locale.h.
+ (struct duinfo): Remove 'valid' member. All uses changed to use
+ negative nsec instead.
+ (DUIINFO_INI, DUINFO_SET, DUINFO_ADD): Remove.
+ (duinfo_init, duinfo_set, duinfo_add): New functions, taking the
+ role of the removed macros.
+ (opt_time): Renamed from opt_last_time. All uses changed.
+ (TIME_OPTION): Renamed from LAST_TIME_OPTION. All uses changed.
+ (long_options, usage): Rename --last-time to --time.
+ (locale_time_style): Remove.
+ (time_style_args, time_style_types, usage): Remove support for
+ --time-style=locale.
+ (show_date): Now returns void, since nobody looked at the result.
+ Assume FORMAT is not null. An empty FORMAT now outputs an empty time.
+ Simplify nstrftime invocation.
+ (main): Put in ls compatibility workarounds only for TIME_STYLE,
+ not for --time-style. Omit unnecessary space in iso time style.

* src/du.c (time_format): Add `const' attribute.
* src/date.c (show_date): Use puts rather than printf ("%s\n",.
