+ * join.c (main): Accept `-v 1' again. First adding --version
+ long option had broken it, though -v1 still worked. Call
+ parse_long_options instead of adding "help" and "version"
+ to join's longopt strct.
+ * Makefile.in [SOURCES, OBJECTS, DISTFILES]: Add long-options.c
+ and long-options.h.
+ * (join): Depend on and link with long-options.o.
+ * (join.o): Depend on long-options.h.
+
+ * od.c: Change --compatible (-C) to --backward-compatible (-B).
+
+ * csplit.c: Change --abandon-null-files to --elide-empty-files.

Major changes in release 1.9:
* cat -v /dev/null works on more systems
+* od's --compatible (-C) flag renamed to --backward-compatible (-B)
+* --help and --version exit successfully
+* --help gives a one-line description of each option and shows the
+ correspondence between short and long-named options.
+* fix bug in cut. Now `echo 'a:b:c:' | cut -d: -f3-' works.
+ Before it printed `c' instead of `c:'
+* csplit allows repeat counts to be specified via `{*}'.
+* csplit accepts a new option, --suffix=format that supercedes the
+ --digits option. The --digits option will continue to work.
+* csplit accepts a new option, --elide-empty-files.
+* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of
+ some compilers on the number of symbols defined via -D.
+* 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.
+
Major changes in release 1.8:
* added non-ANSIfied version of memchr.c from GNU libc.
