[4.1.6]
-* cp -r once again preserves symlinks (reverting the change in 4.1.5),
- but now it warns that relying on that behavior is not portable
+* New cp option: --copy-contents.
+* cp -r is now equivalent to cp -R. Use cp -R -L --copy-contents to get the
+ traditional (and rarely desirable) cp -r behavior.
* ls now accepts --time-style=+FORMAT, where +FORMAT works like date's format
* The obsolete usage `touch [-acm] MMDDhhmm[YY] FILE...' is no longer
supported on systems conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001. Use touch -t instead.
