+ Use notation compatible with SI and with IEC 60027-2.
+ For example, --block-size=1MB now means --block-size=1000000,
+ whereas --block-size=1MiB now means --block-size=1048576.
+ A trailing `B' now means decimal, not binary; this is a silent change.
+ -H or --si now outputs the trailing 'B', for consistency with this.
+ Programs now output trailing 'K' (not 'k') to mean 1024.
+ New df, du short option -B is short for --block-size.
+ You can omit an integer `1' before a block size suffix,
+ e.g. `df -BG' is equivalent to `df -B 1G' and to `df --block-size=1G'.
+
+ * NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: Document this. Remove documentation
+ for obsolescent constructs MD, --kilobytes, -m or --megabytes.
+
+ * src/dd.c (usage, parse_integer): Prefer K to k for 1024.
+ * src/shred.c (usage, main): Likewise.
+
+ * src/shred.c (xstrtoumax): If there is no number but there
+ is a valid suffix, assume 1. "MB" now means decimal, "MiB" binary.
+ Accept 'K' as well as 'k'.
+
+ * src/dd.c (usage): MD -> MB for decimal.
+
+ * src/df.c (BLOCK_SIZE_OPTION): Remove; no longer needed now that
+ we have 'B'.
+ (long_options, usage, main): Add -B.
+ (usage): Deprecate --kilobytes, -m, --megabytes.
+ Document size suffixes.
+ * src/du.c: Likewise.
+ * src/ls.c (usage): Deprecate --kilobytes. Document size suffixes.
+
+ * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Enlarge column widths for
+ trailing "B".
