Changes in release 3.17:
[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
