2006-07-08* coreutils.texi (Squeezing): Separate doubled "the", so typo-checkersJim Meyering
don't complain.
2006-07-08* Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Enforce the zeros vs. zeroes consistency.Jim Meyering
2006-07-08* coreutils.texi: Fix some typos. Use `zeros' consistently (bothJim Meyering
`zeros' and `zeroes' are correct).
2006-07-01With 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(tail invocation): With no operand, 'tail -f' nowPaul Eggert
silently ignores the '-f' only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
2006-07-01seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not losePaul 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.
2006-07-01(seq invocation): seq now uses long doublePaul Eggert
internally rather than double. It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible. It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G. Don't assume printf doesn't work for numbers that fit in 64 but not 32 bits; typically they work these days. Improve discussion of large integers and update the rounding-error numbers.
2006-06-28* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): 'sort +1 -2' is now supportedPaul Eggert
even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001.

2006-05-27Use `AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS' rather thanJim Meyering
