Changes in release 4.1:
[4.0y]
+* Using cp's short-named `-P' option evokes the warning that 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]
