@@ -12,6 +12,19 @@ GNU coreutils NEWS -*- outline -*- cp --attributes-only now completely overrides --reflink. Previously a reflink was needlessly attempted. + stat's %X, %Y, and %Z directives once again print only the integer + part of seconds since the epoch. This reverts a change from + coreutils-8.6, that was deemed unnecessarily disruptive. To obtain + the nanoseconds portion corresponding to %X, you may now use %:X. + I.e., to print the floating point number of seconds using maximum + precision, use this format string: %X.%:X. Likewise for %Y, %Z and %W. + + stat's new %W format directive would print floating point seconds. + However, with the above change to %X, %Y and %Z, we've made %W work + the same way: %W now expands to seconds since the epoch (or 0 when + not supported), and %:W expands to the nanoseconds portion, or to + 0 if not supported. + * Noteworthy changes in release 8.6 (2010-10-15) [stable] |
