-[4.1.11]
-* `rm symlink-to-unwritable' doesn't prompt [introduced in 4.1.10]
-[4.1.10]
-* rm once again gives a reasonable diagnostic when failing to remove a file
-    owned by someone else in a sticky directory [introduced in 4.1.9]
-* df now rounds all quantities up, as per POSIX.
-* New ls time style: long-iso, which generates YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM.
-* Any time style can be preceded by "posix-"; this causes "ls" to
-  use traditional timestamp format when in the POSIX locale.
-* The default time style is now posix-long-iso instead of posix-iso.
-  Set TIME_STYLE="posix-iso" to revert to the behavior of 4.1.1 through 4.1.9.
-* `rm dangling-symlink' doesn't prompt [introduced in 4.1.9]
-* stat: remove support for --secure/-s option and related %S and %C format specs
-* stat: rename --link/-l to --dereference/-L.
-    The old options will continue to work for a while.
-[4.1.9]
-* rm can now remove very deep hierarchies, in spite of any limit on stack size
-* new programs: link, unlink, and stat
-* New ls option: --author (for the Hurd).
-* `touch -c no-such-file' no longer fails, per POSIX
-[4.1.8]
-* mv no longer mistakenly creates links to preexisting destination files
-    that aren't moved
-[4.1.7]
-* rm: close a hole that would allow a running rm process to be subverted
-[4.1.6]
-* New cp option: --copy-contents.
-* cp -r is now equivalent to cp -R.  Use cp -R -L --copy-contents to get the
-  traditional (and rarely desirable) cp -r behavior.
-* ls now accepts --time-style=+FORMAT, where +FORMAT works like date's format
-* The obsolete usage `touch [-acm] MMDDhhmm[YY] FILE...' is no longer
-  supported on systems conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001.  Use touch -t instead.
-* cp and inter-partition mv no longer give a misleading diagnostic in some
-    unusual cases
-[4.1.5]
-* cp -r no longer preserves symlinks
-* The block size notation is now compatible with SI and with IEC 60027-2.
-  For example, --block-size=1MB now means --block-size=1000000,
-  whereas --block-size=1MiB now means --block-size=1048576.
-  A missing `B' (e.g. `1M') has the same meaning as before.
-  A trailing `B' now means decimal, not binary; this is a silent change.
-  The nonstandard `D' suffix (e.g. `1MD') is now obsolescent.
-* -H or --si now outputs the trailing 'B', for consistency with the above.
-* Programs now output trailing 'K' (not 'k') to mean 1024, as per IEC 60027-2.
-* New df, du short option -B is short for --block-size.
-* You can omit an integer `1' before a block size suffix,
-  e.g. `df -BG' is equivalent to `df -B 1G' and to `df --block-size=1G'.
-* The following options are now obsolescent, as their names are
-  incompatible with IEC 60027-2:
-   df, du: -m or --megabytes (use -BM or --block-size=1M)
-   df, du, ls: --kilobytes (use --block-size=1K)
-[4.1.4]
-* df --local no longer lists smbfs file systems whose name starts with //
-* dd now detects the Linux/tape/lseek bug at run time and warns about it.
-[4.1.3]
-* ls -R once again outputs a blank line between per-directory groups of files.
-    This was broken by the cycle-detection change in 4.1.1.
-* dd once again uses `lseek' on character devices like /dev/mem and /dev/kmem.
-    On systems with the linux kernel (at least up to 2.4.16), dd must still
-    resort to emulating `skip=N' behavior using reads on tape devices, because
-    lseek has no effect, yet appears to succeed.  This may be a kernel bug.
-[4.1.2]
-* cp no longer fails when two or more source files are the same;
-    now it just gives a warning and doesn't copy the file the second time.
-    E.g., cp a a d/ produces this:
-    cp: warning: source file `a' specified more than once
-* chmod would set the wrong bit when given symbolic mode strings like
-    these: g=o, o=g, o=u.  E.g., `chmod a=,o=w,ug=o f' would give a mode
-    of --w-r---w- rather than --w--w--w-.
-[4.1.1]
-* mv (likewise for cp), now fails rather than silently clobbering one of
-    the source files in the following example:
-    rm -rf a b c; mkdir a b c; touch a/f b/f; mv a/f b/f c
-* ls -R detects directory cycles, per POSIX.  It warns and doesn't infloop.
-* cp's -P option now means the same as --no-dereference, per POSIX.
-    Use --parents to get the old meaning.
-* When copying with the -H and -L options, cp can preserve logical
-    links between source files with --preserve=links
-* cp accepts new options:
-    --preserve[={mode,ownership,timestamps,links,all}]
-    --no-preserve={mode,ownership,timestamps,links,all}
-* cp's -p and --preserve options remain unchanged and are equivalent
-    to `--preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps'
-* mv and cp accept a new option: --reply={yes,no,query};  provides a consistent
-    mechanism to control whether one is prompted about certain existing
-    destination files.  Note that cp's and mv's -f options don't have the
-    same meaning: cp's -f option no longer merely turns off `-i'.
-* remove portability limitations (e.g., PATH_MAX on the Hurd, fixes for
-    64-bit systems)
-* mv now prompts before overwriting an existing, unwritable destination file
-    when stdin is a tty, unless --force (-f) is specified, as per POSIX.
-* mv: fix the bug whereby `mv -uf source dest' would delete source,
-    even though it's older than dest.
-* chown's --from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP option now works
-* cp now ensures that the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits are cleared for
-    the destination file when when copying and not preserving permissions.
-* `ln -f --backup k k' gives a clearer diagnostic
-* ls no longer truncates user names or group names that are longer
-    than 8 characters.
-* ls's new --dereference-command-line option causes it to dereference
-  symbolic links on the command-line only.  It is the default unless
-  one of the -d, -F, or -l options are given.
-* ls -H now means the same as ls --dereference-command-line, as per POSIX.
-* ls -g now acts like ls -l, except it does not display owner, as per POSIX.
-* ls -n now implies -l, as per POSIX.
-* ls can now display dates and times in one of four time styles:
-
-  - The `full-iso' time style gives full ISO-style timestamps like
-    `2001-05-14 23:45:56.477817180 -0700'.
-  - The 'iso' time style gives ISO-style timestamps like '2001-05-14 '
-    and '05-14 23:45'.
-  - The 'locale' time style gives locale-dependent timestamps like
-    'touko  14  2001' and 'touko  14 23:45' (in a Finnish locale).
-  - The 'posix-iso' time style gives traditional POSIX-locale
-    timestamps like 'May 14  2001' and 'May 14 23:45' unless the user
-    specifies a non-POSIX locale, in which case it uses ISO-style dates.
-    This is the default.
-
-  You can specify a time style with an option like --time-style='iso'
-  or with an environment variable like TIME_STYLE='iso'.  GNU Emacs 21
-  and later can parse ISO dates, but older Emacs versions cannot, so
-  if you are using an older version of Emacs outside the default POSIX
-  locale, you may need to set TIME_STYLE="locale".
-
-* --full-time is now an alias for "-l --time-style=full-iso".
-
-Changes in release 4.1:
-[4.0.45]
-* dd conv=sync,block now pads only with spaces
-* ls's -1 option no longer cancels the effect of a preceding -l
-* regenerate configure using a patched version of autoconf-2.49e to work
-    around a bug in its test for a working memcmp function
-* ls: fix off-by-one error introduced with the previous change
-[4.0.44]
-* ls: When given two or more arguments but the only one that exists is a
-    directory, don't treat it as if it were the only argument.  Before,
-    `mkdir d; ls no-dir d 2>/dev/null' would act like `ls d' and produce
-    no output.  Now, it prints `d:'.
-* touch -d 'last friday' would use a timestamp that was one hour off
-    (e.g., 23:00 on *thursday* rather than 00:00 of the preceding friday)
-    when run such that the current time and the target date/time fall on
-    opposite sides of a daylight savings time transition.
-    This problem arises only with relative date strings like `last monday'.
-    It is not a problem with strings that include absolute dates.
-[4.0.43]
-* regenerate configure-related files using autoconf-2.49d
-[4.0.42]
-* Using ls's short-named `-H' option evokes the warning that the
-   meaning of `-H' will soon change.  Use `--si' instead.
-[4.0.41]
-* fix bug in rm introduced in 4.0.38: `chmod 0 f; rm f' would no longer prompt
-    before removal.
-[4.0.40]
-* portability fixes, mainly for UnixWare 7.1.1
-[4.0.39]
-* cp and mv accept --strip-trailing-slashes, not just --strip-trailing-slash
-[4.0.38]
-* ls --full-time now implies -l;  before, without -l it was a no-op
-[4.0.37]
-* portability fixes for SunOS4.1.1, Fujitsu (f300-fujitsu-uxpv4.1_ES),
-    and Unicos (alphaev5-cray-unicosmk2.0.5.X)
-[4.0.36]
-* `mv dir/ new-name' no longer fails on SunOS4.1.1U
-* attempting to use mv to move a symlink onto itself no longer removes
-    the symlink
-* `cp -R directory file' no longer removes `file'.  now it fails and gives
-    a diagnostic
-* The manual now warns that ls's --full-time format string is planned
-    to change in a future release.
-* ls -l's timestamp format now depends on LC_TIME, not LC_MESSAGES,
-    as POSIX requires.
-* ls -l now reports the year for files even slightly in the future, as
-    POSIX requires.  This helps warn users about clock skew problems.
-* `cp -d file symlink-to-some-other-file' no longer fails
-* performance improvements for ls
-[4.0.35]
-* ln --backup=simple --suffix=SUFFIX once again uses SUFFIX
-* install: Likewise.
-[4.0.34]
-* fix a bug (introduced in 4.0z) that made `chown 123:456 file' act like
-    `chown 123:123 file'.  Other uses with a numeric group ID would cause
-    chown to fail when it shouldn't have.
-* the chown and chgrp programs preserve set-uid and set-gid bits, even on
-    systems for which the chown function call resets those bits.
-* `ls -L dangling-symlink' now fails (per POSIX) rather than printing the
-    link name
-* dd no longer honors the just-added `B' suffix on skip= and seek= arguments.
-* `mkdir no-such-dir/' no longer fails on NetBSD systems
-[4.0.33]
-* dd now accepts skip=nB and seek=nB, to advance past some number of bytes, n,
-    that need not be a multiple of the block size.
-* dd (without conv=notrunc) now complains only when ftruncate fails on a
-    regular file, a directory, or a shared memory object -- not when it fails
-    to truncate other types of files, like /dev/fd0.
-* chmod --changes (-c) once again issues diagnostics only for the files
-    with changed permissions
-* mkdir now gives one diagnostic (rather than two) for certain failures
-* mkdir portability fix for NetBSD
-[4.0.32]
-* touch now interprets a lone numeric argument of 8 or 10 digits as a file name,
-  rather than as a date/time in the obsolescent `MMDDhhmm[YY]' format.
-* mkdir no longer sets the permissions of the final directory component
-  if it already exists (this bug, too, was introduced recently)
-* ls's --full-time format string is now locale dependent
-[4.0.31]
-* mkdir: fix a bug introduced in 4.0.30 whereby `mkdir existing-dir' would
-  succeed.  Now it fails, as it should (and used to).
-[4.0.30]
-* mkdir: fix a bug introduced in 4.0.28 whereby parent directories created
-  via `mkdir -p' would have permissions that did not account for the umask
-[4.0.29]
-* ls.c wouldn't compile on some systems: fix it
-* `cp -R --parents dir1/ dir2' failed on NetBSD, due to a portability problem
-[4.0.28]
-* ls is much more efficient on systems (e.g., linux-2.4.*) that store file
-    type information in directory entries.
-* shred now automatically determines the size of each block device argument
-* ls's date/time format strings are now locale dependent
-* mkdir, mknod, mkfifo, and chmod work better in conjunction with ACLs
-* `cp --parents dir1/ dir2' no longer gets a failed assertion
-* shred now determines the size of block devices like /dev/fd0
-* `shred --exact file1 file2' now erases `file1', too
-[4.0.27]
-* install once again unlinks an existing destination before trying to open it
-* mv no longer gets a failed assertion when moving a directory (specified with
-    a trailing slash) from one partition to another, and giving it a different
-    name at the destination.
-* `cp --link -f src existing-dest' no longer fails (bug introduced in 4.0z)
-* cp's new --remove-destination option now works with -R
-[4.0z]
-* `cp -p' once again preserves `special' permission bits (this bug was
-    introduced in 4.0y)
-* mv's --force (-f) option now controls solely whether mv prompts (per POSIX)
-* `cp -f' now first attempts to open an existing destination file, and only
-    if that fails does it resort to unlinking the file and retrying the open.
-    Before, it would unlink the file before trying to open it.
-* cp accepts a new option, --remove-destination, that provides the old behavior
-* cp's -f option no longer cancels the effect of --interactive (-i) (per POSIX)
-* when ls sorts directory entries, it now honors the current locale settings
-* dd's `skip=BLOCKS' operator once again works on systems with a buggy lseek
-  function (Linux, at least on SCSI tape devices)
-* fix a typo in install-sh
-[4.0y]
-* cp now accepts the POSIX-mandated -H and -L options.
-* cp -p and mv now try to preserve uid even if you're not root, as per POSIX.2.
-  This affects behavior only on hosts that let you give files away via chmod.
-* du would fail when given `.' or `..' followed by other command line arguments
-* Using cp's short-named `-P' option evokes the warning that the
-   meaning of `-P' will soon change.  Use `--parents' instead.
-* chgrp, chmod, and chown: when used with the --verbose option, might give an
-  invalid diagnostic (due to clobbered errno) when failing.
-[4.0x]
-* Fix cp so that `cp -r DIR1/ DIR2' works properly once again.
-* New ls option --quoting-style=clocale acts like --quoting-style=locale,
-  except that it quotes "like this" by default instead of `like this'.
-[4.0w]
-* When `cp -pR' fails to copy a file, it now preserves permissions, owner,
-   and group of the containing directory.
-[4.0v]
-* df, du, and ls now round disk usage up and disk free space down
-* df, du, ls: --block-size=N now works for values of N that are e.g.,
-    not a multiple of the file's block size
-[4.0u]
-* give proper diagnostic for mv usage error
-* fix compile problem with lib/strnlen.c
-[4.0t]
-* `cp -d -u' no longer fails with certain existing destination symlinks
-* rmdir and mkdir accept -v as synonym for --verbose
-[4.0s]
-* rm no longer segfaults on certain very deep hierarchies
-* IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX: a running `rm -r' may no longer be subverted to
-  remove unintended directories
-* cp can now remove unwritable files in interactive mode; contrary to how mv
-   works, cp's --interactive (-i) option does *not* cancel the effect of a
-   preceding --force (-f) option.
-* all programs fail when printing --help or --version output to a full device
-* install no longer performs chmod if chown fails (see ChangeLog for example)
-[4.0r]
-* `du dir/subdir1 dir/subdir2' no longer fails
-* chown accepts new option: --from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP
-* cp accepts new option: --strip-trailing-slashes
-* install --directory (-d) may now be used to set special bits
-    e.g., `install -m a=rwx,o+t -d DIR' now honors the `o+t' part
-* cp, mv, ln, install: document that while the --backup option takes an
-  optional argument, the -b option accepts none
-* `ls -e' fails with a more useful diagnostic
-* df produces better output for loop file system mount points
-[4.0q]
-* install -D bug is fixed
-* chown now works properly when the specified login name contains a period
-  This is at the expense of always looking up the entire USER.GROUP string
-  as a login name first, and only then (upon failure) interpreting the `.'
-  as a separator and looking up `USER'.  To avoid the extra getpwnam call,
-  always use the POSIX-mandated `:' character as the separator.
-* `du some-other-dir' no longer fails if it can't open the current directory
-* `mv DIR EXISTING-FILE' no longer removes EXISTING-FILE.  Now it gets an error
-  as POSIX says it must.
-* touch no longer hangs on fifos
-[4.0p]
-* various tools: quote multibyte characters correctly in diagnostics
-* mv: portability fix for alpha
-* dd: portability fix
-* unified lib/: now that directory and most of the configuration framework
-  is common between fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils
-[4.0o]
-* Include lib/nanosleep.h.
-[4.0n]
-* cp, install, ln, and mv: when making backup files in verbose mode, these
-  commands now print the backup file name on the same line as the rest of the
-  information, e.g., `a -> b (backup: b.~13~)' rather than on a separate line
-  as all but ln used to do.  ln didn't output the backup file name at all.
-[4.0m]
-* mv accepts new option: --strip-trailing-slashes (soon, many other
-  programs will, too)
-* df no longer hangs when there is an inaccessible mount point unrelated to PATH
-* rmdir --verbose no longer prints extra, bogus diagnosic upon failure
-* fix df bug that made it print bogus values in the `Use%' column.
-* touch -d once again parses dates with `hh:mm ZONE' time zone info.
-[4.0l]
-* ls -l honors a trailing slash on a symlink argument, per POSIX.
-* shred no longer appears to infloop when asked to remove files in
-  unwritable directories
-* `ls -ul' and `ls -uc' sort by name once again, as they should
-[4.0k]
-* mv may now be used to move a file onto a symlink to itself when that
-  symlink is on a separate partition.  With fileutils-4.0j, it would
-  fail with a diagnostic saying they were the same file.
-* touch would fail with the misleading diagnostic `no such file' when asked
-  to create a file in an unwritable directory.  Now it says something like
-  `permission denied' or `read-only file system'.
-[4.0j]
-* mkdir may now be used to set special bits  e.g., `mkdir -m o+t dir' works
-* touch can now change the time(s) of a file you own even if you don't have
-  read or write access to it
-* rm no longer dumps core after warning about directory cycles
-* mv now refuses to move a file onto a symlink to itself when that symlink
-  is on a separate partition.  Before, it would remove the file and leave
-  only the symlink.
-* `install -d -g foo 1/2' now sets the `group' of the final component as well
-  as that of the leading one.
-* df, du, and ls no longer divide by zero when an invalid block size is
-  specified through an environment variable
-* under certain conditions, chgrp would fail to affect files referenced
-  through symlinks.  Now it does.
-* ln now makes hard links to symlinks on systems that support it.
-* touch: no longer infloop on dangling symlinks
-* cp, install, ln, mv: deprecate the --version-control option.  Use --backup's
-  new optional argument instead.  The old option still works, but now evokes a
-  warning.
-* cp, install, ln, mv: the --backup option now accepts an optional argument
-* cp, install, ln, mv: accept new option: --target-directory=DIR
-* chgrp: accept new option, --dereference.  --no-dereference is now the default.
-* New ls option --quoting-style=locale acts like --quoting-style=c, except
-  with locale-specific quoting symbols (` and ' by default) instead of ".
-* `df DIR' is less likely to hang due to bad NFS mounts
-* As per POSIX.2, `df -P' now uses ceiling rather than rounding, and its
-  header now says `1024-blocks ... Capacity' instead of `1k-blocks ... Use%'.
-[4.0i]
-* `cp -f FILE FILE' and `mv -f FILE FILE' no longer remove FILE
-* touch works once again (DST-wise) when certain `--date DATE-TIME'
-  values are specified.
-* shred's -u option (short form of --remove) is now accepted
-[4.0h]
-* cp --one-file-system (-x) no longer crosses filesystem boundaries.
-* touch can once again operate on directories
-[4.0g]
-* New large-file support for AIX and HP-UX, and for cross-compiles.
-* shred's default options are now suitable for devices, not files, since
-  shred is more reliable on devices.  shred now does not remove by default;
-  the old -p or --preserve option was inverted and renamed to -u or --remove.
-* shred -u now attempts to truncate devices before removing them.
-* shred -v no longer outputs carriage-returns; shred -vv has no extra effect;
-  shred -v now outputs to stderr.
-* shred now tries to find the size of a non-regular file by seeking to its end.
-* dd now opens the output file for *read* access only if `seek=' is used.
-[4.0f]
-* `ls --color' no longer segfaults
-* dd works once again
-[4.0e]
-* shred --devices option renamed to -D so that -d, -i and -r can be
-  compatible with rm.
-* shred -s/--size=N option added to specify the size of the object to be
-  shredded.
-* `shred -' now shreds stdout rather than stdin.  This is incompatible with -v.
-* shred now does not need to read from its output file, so opens it O_WRONLY
-* `ls -l' uses `+' to designate each file that has a custom ACL
-* eliminate race condition that could make touch truncate a nonempty file
-* No longer use *_unlocked I/O macros on systems (like solaris5.5.1) where
-  they're not declared, so selected executables (e.g., rm) that are linked
-  with shared libraries will once again run on solaris5.6 systems.
-[4.0d (aka 4.1-b3)]
-* ls recognizes solaris 2 `doors'
-* new program: shred
-* ln: Allow creation of a hard link to a dangling symlink
-* cp, mv, install: --verbose now prints a message for each backup-related
-  renaming
-* portability fixes for copy.c's code to detect move-directory-into-self
-* upgrade to automake-1.3b
-* upgrade to autoconf-2.13, and...
-* remove some of the kludges in m4/*.m4 that permitted
-[4.1-b2]
-* concurrent `mkdir -p' processes no longer fail when creating the
-  same hierarchy
-* argmatch.c has been fixed so that the unambiguous usage `ls --color=n'
-  no longer evokes an error.
-* now, specifying an improper argument for an option that accepts enumerated
-  values evokes diagnostics like this:
-    $ src/touch --time=x file
-    src/touch: invalid argument `x' for `--time'
-    Valid arguments are:
-      - `atime', `access', `use'
-      - `mtime', `modify'
-    Try `src/touch --help' for more information.
-[4.1-b1]
-* ls --quoting-style=c prints correct octal escapes for certain nonprinting
-  characters in file names.
-* fix `ls -R .' formatting bug that broke mktexlsr
-* moving a directory into itself is properly diagnosed in more cases
-* moving a directory containing hard-linked files now works
-
-Changes in release 4.0:
-[4.0-b7]
-* rm -rf '' no longer gets a failed assertion on the Hurd
-[4.0-b6]
-* rm simply fails as it should (rather than segfaulting) for
-  `mkdir -m 0100 x; rm -rf x'
-[4.0-b5]
-* still *more* mktime.c portability tweaks
-[4.0-b4]
-* mktime.c portability tweak for headers with GNU libc 5.4.44.
-[4.0-b3]
-* mktime.c works around problems with Digital Unix 4.0A and 4.0D.
-* mktime.c handles dates in the spring-forward gap the same way other
-  implementations do
-* install accepts long option --suffix=SUFFIX
-[4.0-b2]
-* man/Makefile.maint framework tweaks
-* add test for `mv -i' bug

-* cp (with --update) and ls compare timestamps with subsecond resolution when
-  available (e.g., on systems with recent Linux kernels and on Solaris 2.6).

-  (this fixes another bug introduced in 3.16o)
-[3.16s]
-* df accept a new option --local (-l)
-* touch works around a system-specific bug so it now affects existing,

-* minor cp bug fixed
-* non-portable cp tests removed
-* --without-included-regex now means don't compile regex.c
-* rx support removed
-[3.16q]
-* `df', `du', and `ls' now accept a new option --block-size=SIZE,
-  where SIZE can be a positive integer block size, followed by an
-  optional SI prefix (e.g. `k' for kilo, `M' for Mega), followed by an
-  optional `B' (for ``byte'', indicating powers of 1024, which is the
-  default) or `D' (for ``decimal byte'', indicating powers of 1000).
-  SIZE can also be `human-readable' (for -h or --human-readable
-  behavior) or `si' (for -H or --si behavior).
-* These suffixes can also be used by `dd'; e.g. `dd bs=1MB' is equivalent
-  to `dd bs=1048576'.
-* The default block size for the `df' command is now obtained from the
-  DF_BLOCK_SIZE environment variable or, if that is not set, from BLOCK_SIZE.
-  Similarly for `du' and `ls'.
-* The output columns of `df' have been adjusted slightly to accommodate
-  larger filesystems.
-* fix gettext-related link failures seen when configuring certain ways
-[3.16p]
-* fix install bug introduced in 3.16o

-    --indicator-style=classify (all indicators)
-         (equivalent to -F or --classify)
-    --indicator-style=file-type (file type indicators)
-         (equivalent to -p or --file-type)
-
-    --quoting-style=literal (do not quote output)
-    --quoting-style=shell (minimally quote output for the shell)
-    --quoting-style=shell-always (always quote output with '' for the shell)
-    --quoting-style=c (quote output as for a C-language string)
-         (equivalent to -Q or --quote-name)
-    --quoting-style=escape (like c but omit enclosing "")
-         (equivalent to -b or --escape)
-
-    --show-control-chars is the opposite of --hide-control-chars
-      This option can be useful if output is to a terminal,
-      to override the default beahvior of hiding control characters.
-
-* The QUOTING_STYLE environment variable can now be used to specify the
-  default value for ls's --quoting-style option.  If not specified,
-  the default quoting style is 'literal', but this default may change to
-  'shell' in a future version of this package.
-* ls's quoting style now affects operands in diagnostics, too.
-* ls's --dired option now outputs the quoting style
-  using the format of the new --quoting-style option.
-* ls's -e or --quote-shell option (introduced in 3.16j) has been removed;
-  use --quoting-style=shell to get its functionality.
-[3.16m]

-* mv can finally move non-regular files between partitions
-[3.16k]
-* install accepts new option, -D
-[3.16j]
-* du accepts new options, --exclude=PAT and --exclude-from=FILE (-X FILE)
-* ls now quotes file names for the shell by default, if they contain
-  characters that need quoting.  Use -N to get the old default behavior.
-  The new behavior is also enabled by the new option -e or --quote-shell.
-* ln --backup is now consistent with cp and mv in that --force is no longer
-  required when the destination is an existing non-directory.
-* install accepts new option, --verbose (-v)
-* mkdir -p is a lot faster when creating very deep directories on some systems
-* rm -i no longer exits with status indicating failure solely because the
-  user declines to remove a file
-* rm -r is a lot faster on some systems when removing deep hierarchies
-* chgrp, chmod, and chown no longer give contradictory output when --verbose
-  is used and an operation fails
-* ls's multicolumn option now uses variable width columns to conserve
-  vertical space
-* install accepts new option, --preserve-timestamps
-* du --megabytes --total now shows total in megabytes
-* ls accepts new option, -h or --human-readable
-* df, du, and ls now accept new option, -H or --si, for powers of 1000 not 1024
-* df, du, and ls now consistently round to nearest, with ties going to even
-* df, du, and ls now use `k' instead of `K' for `kilo',
-  and support larger abbreviations T(era), P(eta), E(xa), Z(etta), Y(otta)
-* touch -d DATE now works on Unicos
-* du accepts new option --max-depth=N
-* rmdir accepts new options: --ignore-fail-on-non-empty and --verbose
-* on most hosts df, du, and ls now overflow at 2**64 bytes, not 2**31 bytes
-* all programs now work on large files on LFS systems like Solaris 2.6 and
-  Linux with the pre-2.1 development version of GNU libc.
-* df now works with OpenBSD 2.1 beta
-* cp -d FILE SYMLINK-TO-FILE doesn't erase FILE.  Now it gives an error.
-
-Changes in release 3.16:
-* du --megabytes (-m) works
-* ls -l works even on systems with non-POSIX strftime in their C library
-
-Changes in release 3.15:
-* touch --date=DATE bug (due to broken getdate.y) has been fixed
-* ls -l no longer misformats the date when run in a locale for which the
-  locale's abbreviated week-day name (strftime's %a format) is shorter or
-  longer than the `normal' three bytes (with LANG=de it's a two-byte string).
-* Using --program-prefix no longer applies the prefix twice
-* ls --color properly restores color attributes upon completion when the
-  normal (`no') color attribute is not the default color.
-* with ls -s --color, the `total' and size of the first file are printed
-* ls --color stats symlinks and distinguishes between regular symlinks
-  and orphan ones.
-* cp --preserve preserves owner and group of symlinks on Linux when run
-  with EUID == 0
-* dircolors no longer accepts --print-data-base (alternate spelling of
-  --print-database)
-
-Changes in release 3.14:
-* ls --color highlights based on suffix rules only for regular files
-* touch --date=DATE accepts dates like those in an RCS log listing, e.g.,
-  `1992/11/01 05:44:34'.
-* install SRC DST no longer rejects non-regular, non-directory SRC
-* df accepts -F as a synonym for -t for compatibility with Solaris
-* cp -i /dev/null existing-file now prompts before overwriting the target
-* ls --color highlights orphaned symlinks text on terminals that support it
-* ls -l honors current locale with respect to abbreviated month names (and,
-  with --full-time day names) on systems with a locale-supporting strftime
-  function, e.g., ones based on recent versions of the GNU C library
-* ls -l recognizes Cray's migrated dmf files.
-* chgrp no longer aborts when given a group number larger than INT_MAX
-* chgrp now fails when run by root with an unrecognized group name
-* when possible, cp -p preserves owner/group even on symlinks in case
-  they're in a directory that has the sticky-bit set.
-* cp --recursive --parents SRC DEST works when SRC is an absolute file name.
-
-Changes in release 3.13:
-* ls properly determines window size on SunOS and Solaris systems
-* ls accepts new option --color[=WHEN] where WHEN is `always', `never',
-  or `auto'.  --color=never is the default.  --color is equivalent
-  to --color=always.
-* new program: dircolors
-* ls allows 0 as argument to --tabsize (-T) option.  Using --tabsize=0
-  inhibits the use of TAB characters for separating columns.
-* you can create a backup of FILE with cp --force --backup FILE FILE.  Before,
-  that command failed saying that ``FILE' and `FILE' are the same file'.
-* uses automake-generated Makefile templates
-* chown and chgrp accept new option --no-dereference (-h)
-* ln -f FILE FILE fails with a diagnostic rather than silently removing FILE
-* when building on systems that have getopt_long (most GNU-oriented ones),
-  the system-provided function will be used -- so executables may be a
-  little smaller
-* cp -p, and mv modify owner and/or group of symlinks on systems
-  (like Solaris) that provide the lchown system call.
-* df no longer invokes the sync system call by default.  You can use the
-  --sync option to make df invoke sync before getting file system sizes.
-* internationalized diagnostic messages
-* mkdir accepts new option: --verbose
-* `cp file D/' uses the full file name `D/file' instead of `D//file'.
-* cp --backup a~ a fails instead of silently destroying the source file
-* df and du have new options --human-readable (-h) and --megabytes (-m).
-* install now honors --backup (-b), --suffix=SUFFIX (-S SUFFIX), and
-  --version-control=WORD (-V WORD) options just as cp, ln, and mv do.
-* ln --verbose output is less prone to misinterpretation
-* ls -o works like -lG;  for compatibility with other versions of ls
-* cp has a new option to control creation of sparse files:
-  --sparse={auto,always,never}.  --sparse=auto is the default.
-* rm -rf '' behaves properly on SunOS 4 systems
-* touch: rename long option name, --file, to --reference.
-  `touch --file' will continue to work a little longer.
-* df fails if the same file system type is both selected and excluded.
-* df works around SunOS statfs brokenness wrt filesystems larger than 2GB
-* df better handles inconsistent mtab entries
-* `ls -lDR dir dir2' works
-* `ls -c' does what it's supposed to
-* all programs include program name in --version output
-* `ls --quote-name' works
-* mv properly determines whether src and dest are the same file
-  Before, it could (though with very low probability) fail to do the move,
-  reporting that distinct source and destination are the same file.
-* du --dereference (-L) works with directory symlinks
-* du works on SunOS 4 systems even when accounting is enabled
-* many programs that convert strings to integers now use strtol or strtoul
-  and detect overflow
-
-User-visible changes in release 3.12:
-* None.
-User-visible changes in release 3.11:
-* None.
-User-visible changes in release 3.10:
-* mkdir -p now ignores arguments that are existing directories.  Before,
-  (contrary to POSIX spec) it would attempt to change ownership and/or
-  protections of existing directories listed on the command line.  And
-  it would fail when such a directory was owned by another user.
-* Fix bug in cp that made the commands `mkdir dir; touch foo; cp -P foo dir'
-  incorrectly change the permissions on directory, dir.
-* df accepts a new option, --no-sync, that inhibits the default invocation
-  of the sync system call.
-* ls accepts a new option, --dired, that makes emacs' dired mode more efficient
-* skeletal texinfo documentation (mainly just the `invoking' nodes)
-* ln accepts a new option: --no-dereference (-n).  With this option,
-  if the destination command line argument is a symlink to a directory,
-  use that as the destination instead of the file in the directory.
-* `ln -i no-such-file existing-file' gives a diagnostic and fails.
-  Before, if you responded `yes' to the prompt it would both remove
-  `existing-file' and fail to make a link.
-* du no longer requires read access to all of the directory components
-  of the current working directory on systems with fchdir.
-* touch -d 'date' is no longer off by one hour.
-* New program: sync.
-* Fix bug in cp that made the commands `ln -s . s; cp -rd s r' incorrectly
-  create `r' as a symlink instead of as a regular file.
-* du's -S and -c options now work when used together.
-  Before, the grand total was always reported to be zero.
-
-Major changes in release 3.9:
-* --help gives a one-line description of each option and shows the
-  correspondence between short and long-named options.
-* work around systems with BROKEN_STAT_MACROS
-* work around problem where $(srcdir)/config.h was used instead of
-  ../config.h -- this happened only when building in a subdirectory
-  and when config.h remained in $(srcdir) from a previous ./configure.
-* GNU chmod treats symlinks the same way other vendor's versions do.
-  Now symlinks listed on the command line are processed (they were
-  ignored before); the permissions of the dereferenced files are
-  changed.  Symlinks encountered in recursive traversals are still
-  ignored.  This makes GNU chmod act more like e.g. Sun's.
-* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of
-  some compilers on the number of symbols defined via -D.
-* ls and cp can handle mount points on more systems
-* cp, mkdir, and rmdir long option --path renamed to --parents;  --path
-  will still work for a while
-* cp, ln, and mv convert `cp A B/' to cp A B/A when A is not a directory.
-  This change affects only the two-argument form of the commands.  It makes
-  such commands fail when the target has a trailing slash but is not a
-  directory or symlink to a directory and the source is not a directory.
-  They used to succeed, ignoring the implicitly contradictory trailing slash.
-
-Major changes in release 3.8:
-* install isn't as likely to produce spurious errors
-* avoid redundant compilations for `dir' and `vdir';
-* configure properly defines STAT_STATFS2_BSIZE on a Pyramid MIServer
-  running OSx 5.1
-
-Major changes in release 3.7:
-* none
-Major changes in release 3.6:
-* `ln -s dir_pathname .' works when the pathname has a trailing slash
-* with the --version option programs print the version and exit immediately
-* GNU ls -f works like Unix ls -f
-* mktime replacement works
-
-Major changes in release 3.5:
-* adds support for DEC Alpha under OSF/1
-* configuring with gcc uses CFLAGS='-g -O' by default
-* all programs accept --help and --version options
-* long-named options must be introduced with `--'; `+' is no longer
-  accepted since it is incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard
-* chmod accepts long-named options
-* dd conv=unblock doesn't hang
-* new df option --exclude=fstype
-* new ls option --full-time
-
-Major changes in release 3.4:
-* cp -p and mv preserve setuid and setgid bits
-* chown works on systems where sizeof(uid_t) != sizeof(int)
-  or sizeof(uid) != sizeof(gid)
-* catch errors from spurious slashes at ends of arguments
-
-Major changes in release 3.3:
-* df sped up by not calling sync for every filesystem
-* df ported to AIX (RS/6000 and PS/2), and SVR2 port fixed
-* df -i now also prints the total number of inodes per filesystem
-* ls sped up by not reading symlink contents unnecessarily
-* du doesn't die on POSIX systems when the root filesystem is NFS mounted
-* cp and mv report chown Permission denied errors when run by root
