	For %D, say that it's equivalent to %m/%d/%y.
	For %e, use blank in example.

	(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.

2005-01-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

2004-12-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Change minor problem to be
	"subdirectory not found", since top-level trouble is now serious.

2004-12-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* getdate.texi (Time of day items, Time zone items):
	Describe new formats +00:00, UTC+00:00.

2004-12-04  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Say when --complement is useful.

2004-10-01  Paolo Bonzini  <bonzini@gnu.org>

	* coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Document --complement and
	adjust the documentation of -b, -c, -f.

2004-11-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (du invocation): Use if=/dev/null rather
	than :|.  Problem reported by Dan Jacobson.
	Use "seek=2GiB" rather than the wordier "seek=`echo '2^31'|bc`".
	Say "KiB" not the (inaccurate) "kilobytes".
	Similarly for "GiB" and "gigabytes".

2004-11-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi: Changes inspired by Debian coreutils 5.2.1-2.
	(General output formatting): -x doesn't have an operand.
	(Formatting the file names): Warn that even with -N unprintable
	chars are still printed as '?' some times.
	(rm invocation): Reword rm -d to note that it's sometimes useful
	on non-directories.
	(logname invocation, users invocation, who invocation):
	The utmp and wtmp file names vary from system to system.

	* getdate.texi (General date syntax): "next" is 1, not 2.
	Document that "second" isn't allowed as an ordinal number.

2004-11-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Reword the new dd message.

2004-11-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (dd invocation): dd now outputs total bytes,

2004-11-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* Makefile.am (_W, W_): New macros.
	(check-texinfo): Use them instead of assuming grep -w (which is not
	portable).

2004-10-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi: Document TZ better, and adjust to new getdate.texi.
	(Top): Update menu.

	stat invocation, who invocation, date invocation, Options for date):
	Mention TZ.
	* getdate.texi: Sync from gnulib.

2004-10-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (Standards conformance): Use "head -10" rather
	than "head -1" as example of obsolete usage, since the POSIX
	consensus is that "head -1" could be supported even if we don't
	yet have clear consensus on "head -10".  See today's revision to
	the SUS FAQ
	<http://www.opengroup.org/austin/papers/single_unix_faq.html>.

2004-10-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Options must precede operands.

2004-10-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Overall lengths are
	OS limits, not file system limits.  Component length checks
	apply to all components, not merely to existing ones.  Say
	that nonexistent names are not errors.  For -p, omit all
	checks based on the underlying file system, not merely length
	checks.  Explain what the portable file name character set is.

2004-10-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Mention ISO/IEC 10646 as
	well as Unicode.  Various minor formatting cleanups.

2004-10-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Move LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE
	index entries to proper paragraph.

	(printf invocation): builtin -> built-in, for consistency
	with POSIX terminology.
	(test invocation, pwd invocation):
	Use specific rather than generic language to warn about
	built-in commands.
	(chroot invocation, env invocation, nice invocation, nohup invocation):
	Warn that command must not be a special built-in.
	(env invocation): Warn about environment variables with unusual
	spellings, or duplicates.

2004-09-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (ls invocation): Document "ls --hide".

2004-09-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (chmod invocation): Warn about "chmod -w file".

2004-09-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Fix bugs in the description of
	the obsolete syntax (e.g., it does not support -k or -m).  Warn
	about usages like "tail -" and "tail -c 4" that are ambigous on
	older systems.

2004-09-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (mv invocation, rm invocation): Say "the response
	is affirmative" rather than "the response begins with y or Y",
	so that the documentation is accurate in non-English locales.
	Problem reported by Munzir Taha.

2004-09-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Distinguish between options
	(e.g., --help) and operands (e.g., if=file).  Move miscellaneous
	stuff after the operand descriptions, for clarity.

2004-09-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): -u disables the last-resort
	comparison, too.  Revamp its description.
	(test invocation): Document -r, -w, -x more carefully.

2004-09-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (Common options): Some programs don't reorder
	options.
	(tr invocation, echo invocation, printf invocation, test invocation,
	expr invocation, basename invocation, chroot invocation,
	nice invocation, nohup invocation, seq invocation):
	This program doesn't reorder options.
	(tr invocation): Mention --help, --version, --.
	(echo invocation): Mention that -- isn't special.
	(test invocation): Mention that the expression is optional,
	and that test ! EXPR is like ! test EXPR.
	Mention that -h and -L don't dereference symlinks.
	(expr invocation): Mention --help, --version.

	* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Add remarks about sort -u
	versus sort | uniq.  Prompted by a question from Andrew Noymer.

2004-09-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (od invocation): Several changes for POSIX
	and FreeBSD compatibility.  Add support for XSI syntax
	(POSIX 1003.1-2004).  Rename -s[N] to -S N.  Remove documentation
	for -h.  -i is now -t dI (not d2) and -l is now -t dL (not d4).

2004-09-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (String tests): Improve quality of warning about
	quoting strings for the shell.

2004-09-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Specify which conversion options
	are mutually exclusive.  Give a bit more detail about ascii,
	ebcdic, and ibm conversions.

2004-08-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	POSIX-conformance fixes for "expand" and "unexpand".
	* coreutils.texi: Standardize on "tab stop" (the POSIX usage)
	rather than "tabstop".
	(unexpand invocation): Use "blank" rather than "space" when
	POSIX requires "blank".  Define "blank".  Initial blanks are
	converted even if there's just one.  For -a, convert two or
	more blanks only if they occur just before a tab stop.

2004-08-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (chown invocation): Fix synopsis:
	group must always be preceded by separator.
	"chown : file" and "chown '' file" don't change the owner or group.
	Update the explanation of what happens to the set-user-ID or
	set-group-ID bits, e.g., they sometimes are not cleared if they
	denote mandatory locking.  Change "find"-oriented examples to use
	chown -h.

2004-08-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Clarify how "printf" is
	supposed to work with extra arguments, missing arguments, etc.

2004-08-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	POSIX-conformance fixes for "-" used as an operand.
	* coreutils.texi (Common options): Clarify that "-" means
	stdin/stdout only when it is an operand, not when it is an
	option-argument.
	(shred invocation): "shred -- -" is equivalent to "shred -",
	not to "shred ./-".
	(tee invocation): "tee -" means to copy (again) to stdout.

2004-07-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (nice invocation): Document the "nice value", and
	how it affects the scheduling priority.  (The old documentation
	implied that the nice value equaled the scheduling priority, which
	isn't accurate.)  Document that the range of nice values might
	exceed -20..19.  Specify what happens when you give a nice value
	that is out of range, or when you don't have permissions to lower
	the nice value.  Bash doesn't have a builtin 'nice', so don't say
	"most shells" have one.

2004-04-03  Dmitry V. Levin  <ldv@altlinux.org>

	* coreutils.texi (readlink invocation): Document new
	"readlink -f" behaviour and new canonicalize options, -e and -m.

2004-07-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Disallow `filename' in .texi files.
	Spell it like `file name' instead, to be consistent.
	Fail if a @footnote directive follows non-punctuation.
	Fail upon use of @url.  Use @uref instead.

2004-07-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (Common options, Target directory, cp invocation,
	install invocation, mv invocation, ln invocation): Add -t as a
	short option for --target-directory, and -T as a short option for
	--no-target-directory.  Clean up relevant synopses a bit, so that
	the language is similar for all.

2004-06-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi: Put the right amount of space at sentence ends.
	Make sure "i.e." and "e.g." are followed by commas (the GNU style).
	Put blank lines before and after every @example, prefer the
	previous line to end in ":" (when not a sentence end, for consistency),
	and prepend @noindent to the following line when appropriate.
	In examples, use "--" arguments when needed to prevent undesired
	interpretation of operands as options.
	Use "file name" rather than "filename", as per the GNU coding standards.
	Remove unwanted spaces before @footnote.
	Use "---" when appropriate, instead of " -- ".
	Use "name" (or something like that) rather than "path" or "pathname",
	since the GNU coding standards don't allow "path".
	Use @acronym, @command, @minus{}, @samp in a few places,
	where appropriate.
	(Target directory): Clarify description of example.
	(fmt invocation): Give issue number for reference, and reword
	for clarity.
	(sort invocation): Note that xargs without -0 also mishandles
	file names containing some special characters other than newline.
	(Translating): Mention that \012 is not universally portable.
	Use '\0' rather than '\000'.
	(Squeezing): bourne -> Bourne.
	Fix unportable usage of '\n' by replacing it with '[\n*]'.
	(More details about version sort): Remove unnecessary indent
	in examples.
	(dd invocation): Use 'kill -s USR1', not 'kill -USR1', as POSIX
	indicates that the former is more portable (the latter is an XSI
	extension).
	(shred invocation): Use @uref rather than @url, and use a more-typical
	style for the date.
	(kill invocation): Clarify usage; for example, "kill -s TERM -1"
	isn't allowed.
	(seq invocation): Reword to avoid implying that printf necessarily
	fails for numbers outside the 32-bit range.  Prefer separating
	options from their operands.
	(Opening the software toolbox): Give an online reference to
	Robbins's article, and give a date.  Don't imply that the
	current documentation is unchanged from his article.
	(Putting the tools together): Rework examples so that they don't
	assume the C locale; nowadays many users now operate outside the C
	locale by default.  While we're at it, don't assume ASCII either.
	Indent example to match actual output from GNU uniq.  Remove some
	unnecessary and confusing brackets from 'tr' operands.  "Software
	Tools in Pascal" is back in print, according to Amazon anyway.
	Add references to Kernighan's online copies of examples.

2004-06-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi, perm.texi: Standardize on "file system" rather
	than "filesystem", as POSIX prefers it with a space.

2004-06-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (Common options, Target directory, cp
	invocation, install invocation, mv invocation, ln invocation):
	Likewise.
	(link invocation): Explain how to rewrite link using ln now
	that we have --no-target-directory.
	(ln invocation): Explain that --no-target-directory subsumes
	--no-dereference.
	(unlink invocation): Modify wording to match new wording in
	link invocation.

2004-06-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (install invocation): Document
	--target-directory in synopsis, too.

2004-06-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* coreutils.texi (yes invocation): "--" is now supported.
	(false invocation, true invocation): --help and --version now
	work unconditionally.

2004-06-07  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* coreutils.texi: Remove menu references to just-removed subsection.

2004-06-06  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	might write F before reading all the input.

2004-05-09  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* coreutils.texi (stat invocation): Change IO to I/O.
	* Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Check for the above.

2004-04-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Mention -k earlier, so
	that the options are in alphabetical order.  Describe how -b works
	more-accurately; this involves fixing some examples, too.  Mention
	what happens if the start field falls after an end field or after
	a line end.  Warn about using -k without -b, -g, -M, -n, or -t.
	Add an example of how to sort IPv4 addresses and Apache Common
	Log Format dates.  Remove a duplicate example.
	(Putting the tools together): Use separate options rather
	than agglomerating them.

2004-03-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	cp -pu and mv -u (when copying) now take the destination
	file system time stamp resolution into account.

	* coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Document this.
	(cp invocation): Document -u (it was missing!) with new behavior.

2004-04-08  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

	* Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Add a check to ensure future
	consistency in using @sc{nul}, not `NUL'.

2004-03-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* coreutils.texi: Use @sc{nul} consistently for NUL.
	(du invocation): FILE0 -> FILE.

2004-03-23  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* coreutils.texi (du invocation): --files0-from is useful with
	--total (-c), not with --summarize.

2004-03-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	output columns.
	(The cut command): Remove example that cut the output of

2003-11-24  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Parse floating-point operands and options in the C locale.
	POSIX requires this for printf, and we might as well be
	consistent elsewhere (tail, sleep, seq).

	Mention what happens if a line lacks enough fields or characters.

2003-05-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	* coreutils.texi (true invocation): Mention that it is possible to

	Suggestion from Paul Eggert.

2003-05-10  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir.

2003-01-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* coreutils.texi (Block size): Say that:
	This affects display format as well as block size.
