-* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+* Noteworthy changes in release 7.4 (2009-05-07) [stable]
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+ date -d 'next mon', when run on a Monday, now prints the date
+ 7 days in the future rather than the current day. Same for any other
+ day-of-the-week name, when run on that same day of the week.
+ [This bug appears to have been present in "the beginning". ]
+
+ date -d tuesday, when run on a Tuesday -- using date built from the 7.3
+ release tarball, not from git -- would print the date 7 days in the future.
+ Now, it works properly and prints the current date. That was due to
+ human error (including not-committed changes in a release tarball)
+ and the fact that there is no check to detect when the gnulib/ git
+ submodule is dirty.
+
+** Portability
+
+ There have been some ACL-related portability fixes for *BSD,
+ inherited from gnulib.
