+ [this bug was inherent in the use of fts: thus, for rm the bug was
+ introduced in coreutils-8.0. du, chmod, chgrp and chown started using
+ fts in 6.0. chcon was added in coreutils-6.9.91 with fts support. ]

- sort, tail, and uniq now support traditional usage like 'sort +2'

** Improvements
- stat and tail now know about "prl_fs" (a parallels file system),
- "m1fs" (a Plexistor file system), "wslfs" (Windows Subsystem for Linux),
- and "smb2". stat -f --format=%T now reports the file system type, and
- tail -f uses polling for "prl_fs" and "smb2", inotify for "m1fs",
- and attempts inotify for "wslfs".
