date --iso-8601=ns generates acceptable dates.

2005-04-28(Mode Structure, Changing Special Permissions):Paul Eggert
(Conditional Executability, Numeric Modes): These days the sticky bit is more often uses as the restricted deletion flag, so modernize the discussion about this. (Mode Structure): Linux/GNU -> GNU/Linux. (Symbolic Modes): Don't imply that "+ur" or "u" is valid. (Setting Permissions): Don't imply that "+t" is invalid. Use "rwx" rather than the less-common "rxw" in an example. (Copying Permissions): Say that ugo is a replacement for a string of the other letters. Add spaces around examples. Use "set-user-ID" rather than "set user ID" to avoid ambiguity. Use "+t" rather than "o+t", since POSIX doesn't specify the latter. Mention which combinations are portable and which are GNU. (Numeric Modes): Don't imply they aren't portable; they are nowadays.
2005-04-26* coreutils.texi: Don't complain about head -10, etc.Paul Eggert
2005-04-26(Standards conformance): Do not mention head -10,Paul Eggert
since it now works the same regardless of POSIX version. (od invocation): -w N -> -w[N]. (pr invocation): -S STRING -> -SSTRING. (fold invocation): -WIDTH works even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001. (head invocation, tail invocation): Likewise for -NUM. (split invocation): Likewise for -LINES. (uniq invocation): Likewise for -N. (expand invocation, unexpand invocation): Likewise for -TAB. (nice invocation): Likewise for -ADJUSTMENT. (sort invocation): Clarify explanation of +N option. (uniq invocation): Likewise. (join invocation): Remove special case for --help, --version. (touch invocation): Clarify explanation of date options. (Options for date): -I timespec -> -I[timespec].
2005-04-24* coreutils.texi (install invocation): Use a= instead of 0 forPaul Eggert
the point of departure for -m, and explain what it meeams. (mkdir invocation, mkfifo invocation, mknod invocation): The umask does not affect the point of departure.
2005-04-12For consistency, standardize on "user ID" rather than "uid".Paul Eggert
2005-04-12For consistency, standardize on "user ID" ratherPaul Eggert
than "uid" or "UID" or "user id". Similarly for "group ID".

2005-04-09*** empty log message ***Jim Meyering
2005-04-09(rm invocation): Say that --recursive removesJim Meyering

2005-04-09Signal-handling cleanup motivated by core dumps in dd.Paul Eggert
2005-04-09(dd invocation): Document the distinction betweenPaul Eggert
INFO and USR1 for dd, and the effect of POSIXLY_CORRECT here.
2005-04-05Add examples to cat, chown, chgrp, basename, dirname. Change ln examplesPaul Eggert
to match that format.
2005-04-05(cat invocation, chown invocation)Paul Eggert
(chgrp invocation, basename invocation, dirname invocation): Add examples, which are copies of the examples newly added to the usage messages. (ln invocation): Use same format as other examples above, for consistency.

2005-03-08Improve "date invocation" again.Paul Eggert
2005-03-08(date invocation): Use an example that makes itPaul Eggert
clear tha the default date use space-padded day of month. Replace "directive" with "conversion specifier" to be consistent with POSIX. All uses changed. Fix menu RHS to match actual directive lists. (Time conversion specifiers): Renamed from Time directives. Use @samp consistently, sometimes instead of @code. Consistently ention which specifiers are GNU extensions. Give more examples (in some cases, instead of ranges). Say why %F is preferred for dates. (Date conversion specifiers): Renamed from Date directives. Likewise for other changes. (Padding and other flags): Correct the description. Document #. Give an example for %9B.

2005-02-24* coreutils.texi: Adjust to match current strftime.c.Paul Eggert
2005-02-24(Time directives): Say that %k, %l, and %P arePaul Eggert
GNU extensions. For %p and %P, mention handling of noon and midnight. For %s, use ISO 8601, and mention handling of leap seconds. For %S, clarify mention of leap seconds. For %T, say that it's the same as %H:%M:%S. For %X, don't say that it must be the same as %H:%M:%S. For %z and %Z, clarify which time zones are used. These options are now affected by --date, so don't claim that they're not. (Date directives): %C is now all but the last two chars of %Y. For %D, say that it's equivalent to %m/%d/%y. For %e, use blank in example. For %h, use @code for %b. For %Y, mention what happens with outlandish years. (Padding and other flags): Renamed from Padding. Mention that the flags are GNU extensions. Mention the 0 and ^ flags. Mention field widths an modifiers. (Examples of date): - is a flag, not a modifier.

2005-02-08(stat invocation): Normalize terminology,Paul Eggert
capitalization, and sort order to match --help output. Mention %c for file systems. Say that %s is the "Fundamental block size", since that is what POSIX says.
