[4.5.4]
+* printf: a hexadecimal escape sequence has at most two hex. digits, not three.
+* The following features have been added to the --block-size option
+ and similar environment variables of df, du, and ls.
+ - A leading "'" generates numbers with thousands separators.
+ For example:
+ $ ls -l --block-size="'1" file
+ -rw-rw-r-- 1 eggert src 47,483,707 Sep 24 23:40 file
+ - A size suffix without a leading integer generates a suffix in the output.
+ For example:
+ $ ls -l --block-size="K"
+ -rw-rw-r-- 1 eggert src 46371K Sep 24 23:40 file
+* ls's --block-size option now affects file sizes in all cases, not
+ just for --block-size=si and --block-size=si. Fractional sizes
+ are now always rounded up, for consistency with df and du.
+* df now displays the block size using powers of 1000 if the requested
+ block size seems to be a multiple of a power of 1000.
* `yes|nl -s%n' no longer evokes a segfault
[4.5.3]
* du --dereference-args (-D) no longer fails in certain cases
