+
+ * memcmp.c: Use the latest version from the GNU C library.
+
+ * cut.c [ADD_RANGE_PAIR]: New macro.
+ (set_fields): Collect the list of all selected ranges before
+ allocating and initializing the boolean lookup table.
+ (cut_bytes, cut_fields): Complete rewrite. Avoid copying
+ into buffer whenever possible. Properly handle input without
+ trailing newline.
+ (getstr): New function. Copied from getline.c, but with minor changes.
+
+ * sort.c (main): Properly handle -Tdir.
+ Before, `sort -T/var/tmp' gave `sort: unrecognized option `-v''.
+ Reported by Kristoffer Rose (kris@diku.dk).
+
+ * cut.c (main): Give separate errors for `-s without -f'
+ and `-d without -f'.
+ (main): Now -d '' means `use the NUL byte as the delimiter'.
+ Before, it got an error.

+
+ * configure.in [test for 8-bit clean memcmp]: Add a test to detect
+ losing memcmp from SunOS4.1.x.

+
+ * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Put `touch stamp-config' in second arg
+ so it goes in config.status. This eliminates unnecessary second run
+ of configure.

+User-visible changes in release 1.10
+* cut interprets -d '' to mean `use the NUL byte as the delimiter.' rather
+ than reporting that no delimiter was specified.
+* `echo a:b:c: | cut -d: -f3,4' prints `c:'. Before it printed just `c'.
+* cut has been rewritten, is markedly faster for large inputs, and passes a
+ fairly large test suite.
+* sort properly handles the argument to the -T option.
+
Major changes in release 1.9.1:
* cut no longer ignores the last line of input when that line lacks a
trailing newline character
