 ** New features
 
+  cut, head, tail now have -z, --zero-terminated options to work with
+  NUL delimited items.
+
   dd now summarizes sizes in --human-readable format too, not just --si.
   E.g., "3441325000 bytes (3.4 GB, 3.2 GiB) copied".  It omits the summaries
   if they would not provide useful information, e.g., "3 bytes copied".
   Its status=progress output now uses the same format as ordinary status,
   perhaps with trailing spaces to erase previous progress output.
 
-  head, tail now have -z, --zero-terminated options to work with
-  NUL delimited items.
-
   md5sum now supports the --ignore-missing option to allow
   verifying a subset of files given a larger list of checksums.
   This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.
