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. --- doc/ChangeLog | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/ChangeLog b/doc/ChangeLog index 99a40817a..e253cad65 100644 --- a/doc/ChangeLog +++ b/doc/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,12 @@ +2006-06-30 Paul Eggert + + * coreutils.texi (seq invocation): seq now uses long double + internally rather than double.
