+
+ * Version 3.8.
+
+ * configure.in (STAT_OSF1): Reference the statfs f_fsize member
+ so that configure defines STAT_OSF1 only if there is such a member.
+ Without such a reference, a Pyramid MIServer running OSx 5.1
+ improperly defined STAT_OSF1 instead of the one it needed:
+ STAT_STATFS2_BSIZE.

+
+ * ls.h, ls-ls.c ls-dir.c, ls-vdir.c: New files that define or
+ simply set the new global variable ls_mode. ls_mode defines whether
+ the executable built from ls.o should act like ls, dir, or vdir.
+ * ls.c (decode_switches): Use the variable instead of #ifdefs.
+ This is modelled after the approach used in GNU binutils 2.x for
+ ar and ranlib. Here we avoid two rudundant compilations.
+
+ * install.c (change_attributes, copy_file, install_file_in_file):
+ Don't call chown if we can efficiently determine that doing so is
+ unnecessary. On some systems, calls to chown (even with your own
+ uid and gid) fail unless made by root. On such systems install
+ got spurious failures.

+* 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
