+* Major changes in release 5.2.1 (2004-02-19) [stable]
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+ `expr' now conforms to POSIX better:
+
+ Integers like -0 and 00 are now treated as zero.
+
+ The `|' operator now returns 0, not its first argument, if both
+ arguments are null or zero. E.g., `expr "" \| ""' now returns 0,
+ not the empty string.
+
+ The `|' and `&' operators now use short-circuit evaluation, e.g.,
+ `expr 1 \| 1 / 0' no longer reports a division by zero.
