* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+** Improvements
+
+ If the file B already exists, commands like 'ln -f A B' and
+ 'cp -fl A B' no longer remove B before creating the new link.
+ That is, there is no longer a brief moment when B does not exist.
+
** Bug fixes
date again converts from a specified time zone. Previously output was
not converted to the local time zone, and remained in the specified one.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.26]
+ Commands like 'cp --no-dereference -l A B' are no longer quiet no-ops
+ when A is a regular file and B is a symbolic link that points to A.
+ [bug introduced in fileutils-4.0]
+
factor no longer goes into an infinite loop for certain numbers like
158909489063877810457 and 222087527029934481871.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
