While we're at it, don't assume ASCII either. - Indent example to match actual output from GNU uniq. Remove some - unnecessary and confusing brackets from 'tr' operands. "Software - Tools in Pascal" is back in print, according to Amazon anyway. - Add references to Kernighan's online copies of examples. - -2004-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * coreutils.texi, perm.texi: Standardize on "file system" rather - than "filesystem", as POSIX prefers it with a space. - -2004-06-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * coreutils.texi (Common options, Target directory, cp - invocation, install invocation, mv invocation, ln invocation): - Likewise. - (link invocation): Explain how to rewrite link using ln now - that we have --no-target-directory. - (ln invocation): Explain that --no-target-directory subsumes - --no-dereference. - (unlink invocation): Modify wording to match new wording in - link invocation. - -2004-06-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document - --target-directory in synopsis, too. - -2004-06-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * coreutils.texi (yes invocation): "--" is now supported. - (false invocation, true invocation): --help and --version now - work unconditionally. - -2004-06-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * coreutils.texi: Remove menu references to just-removed subsection. - -2004-06-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * coreutils.texi (tr invocation): Remove the section describing - how POSIXLY_CORRECT changes tr's behavior. - -2004-06-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Clarify what --output-delimiter=STR - does with byte/character ranges. - -2004-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * coreutils.texi (tr invocation): Mention -C. - -2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * coreutils.texi (echo invocation): Document today's changes. - -2004-05-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - chgrp and chown now dereference symlinks by default, per POSIX. - * coreutils.texi (chgrp invocation, chown invocation): Document it. - -2004-05-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> - - * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document that "sort -m -o F" - might write F before reading all the input. - -2004-05-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> - - * coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Change IO to I/O. - * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Check for the above. - -2004-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> - - * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention -k earlier, so - that the options are in alphabetical order.
