From 69f1a97138d154be7c3f4e8ed4687793530bc625 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2006 00:11:23 +0000 Subject: seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose 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. --- NEWS | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index d82d7868c..8be655ffb 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -74,6 +74,17 @@ GNU coreutils NEWS -*- outline -*- rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory + seq changes: + + seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose + 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. + sort now reports incompatible options (e.g., -i and -n) rather than silently ignoring one of them. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
