+** Changes in behavior
+
+ ls --color: files with multiple hard links are no longer colored differently
+ by default. That can be enabled by changing the LS_COLORS environment
+ variable. You can control that using the MULTIHARDLINK dircolors input
+ variable which corresponds to the 'mh' LS_COLORS item. Note these variables
+ were renamed from 'HARDLINK' and 'hl' which were available since
+ coreutils-7.1 when this feature was introduced.
