 ** Bug fixes
 
+  ls's -k option no longer affects how ls -l outputs file sizes.
+  It now affects only the per-directory block counts written by -l,
+  and the sizes written by -s.  This is for compatibility with BSD
+  and with POSIX 2008.  Because -k is no longer equivalent to
+  --block-size=1KiB, a new long option --kibibyte stands for -k.
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-4.5.4]
+
   rm -rf DIR would fail with "Device or resource busy" on Cygwin with NWFS
   and NcFsd file systems.  This did not affect Unix/Linux-based kernels.
   [bug introduced in coreutils-8.0, when rm began using fts]
