| 2006-08-08 | Add shuf. Mention new --random-source option for shred and sort. | Paul Eggert | |
| Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section, and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT. | |||
| 2006-07-28 | chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories | Paul Eggert | |
| if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR". | |||
| 2006-07-25 | Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague | Paul Eggert | |
| statements about compatibility with BSD. | |||
| 2006-07-21 | mention yesterday's other ls bugfix | Jim Meyering | |
| 2006-07-21 | Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call | Jim Meyering | |
| stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed. In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix. Also exercises the new df feature, below. | |||
| 2006-07-17 | chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits | Paul Eggert | |
| of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly. install and mkdir now implement X correctly. install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without changing their owner or group. | |||
| 2006-07-07 | * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory, | Jim Meyering | |
| and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle. | |||
| 2006-07-01 | With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f' | Paul Eggert | |
| only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. | |||
| 2006-07-01 | seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose | Paul Eggert | |
| information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers. You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623', for example, since the default format now has the same effect. seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats. seq now uses long double internally rather than double. | |||
| 2006-06-28 | Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when conforming to | Paul Eggert | |
| POSIX 1003.1-2001. | |||
| 2006-06-26 | * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory | Jim Meyering | |
| * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory, and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty. Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>. * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above. | |||
| 2006-06-25 | * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE | Jim Meyering | |
| contains a list of NUL-separated file names. * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h". (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage': with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line. (main): Handle the new option. * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above. * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0. | |||
| 2006-06-10 | Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround. | Jim Meyering | |
| 2006-06-08 | Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T, | Jim Meyering | |
| when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels. * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat. (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that. Write any pending output before returning. Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>. * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above. * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc. | |||
| 2006-06-07 | The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow. | Paul Eggert | |
| 2006-06-03 | `cp --link --no-dereference' now works also on systems where the | Jim Meyering | |
| link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link. | |||
