2002-02-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	Add support for POSIX 1003.1-2001, which requires removal for
	support of obsolete "+" option syntax in sort, tail, and uniq.
	* doc/coreutils.texi: Document this.  (Also, document a similar
	change to "touch", for fileutils).

2002-01-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* coreutils.texi (shred invocation): List some journaled filesystems.

2001-11-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* coreutils.texi (Date directives): Document %u.

2001-11-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* coreutils.texi (paste invocation): Give examples.
	Thanks to Dan Jacobson for suggesting the examples.

2001-11-05  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Recommend setting LC_ALL=C,
	not LC_COLLATE=C.  Explain how the latter can cause problems.
	Based on a message from Paul Eggert.
	(ls invocation): Recommend setting LC_ALL=C, not LC_COLLATE=C.

2001-10-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe --reply=...

2001-10-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* coreutils.texi (cp invocation): `cp --no-dereference' is
	no longer equivalent to `cp -d'.
	`cp -d' is equivalent to `--no-dereference --preserve=links'.
	cp's -P option means --no-dereference, not --parents.
	Describe new optional argument to --preserve.
	Describe new option: --no-preserve=ATTRIBUTE_LIST.

2001-09-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Redirect stderr of `grep -w' to
	/dev/null, so people with old versions of grep don't see the failure.

2001-09-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* coreutils.texi (mv invocation): Describe new option:
	--reply={yes,no,query}.  Fix a few typos.

2001-09-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* coreutils.texi (uniq invocation): The input need not
	be sorted.  Try to clarify -d versus -D versus -u.

2001-09-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Document new option: -F.
	From Herbert Xu.

2001-09-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* coreutils.texi (join invocation): Describe the GNU
	extension to join, which does not require sorted input when
	the input contains no unpairable lines.

2001-09-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* coreutils.texi:
	New 'uname' options -i or --hardware-platform,
	and -o or --operating-system.
	'uname -a' now outputs -i and -o information at the end.
	New uname option --kernel-version is an alias for -v.
	Uname option --release has been renamed to --kernel-release,
	and --sysname has been renamed to --kernel-name;
	the old options will work for a while, but are no longer documented.

2001-08-24  Herbert Xu  <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

	* coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Document how cut treats lines
	with no separators.

2001-06-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* coreutils.texi: expr now uses LC_COLLATE for string comparison,
	as per POSIX.

2001-08-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* coreutils.texi: Use @option, rather than @samp everywhere.

2001-06-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* coreutils.texi: 'expr' now requires '+' rather than 'quote'
	to quote tokens.

2001-07-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Reflect 2001-07-08 change to
	cp (via copy.c).

2001-06-16  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* Makefile.am (info_TEXINFOS): Reflect renaming: s/omni-/core/.
	* coreutils.texi: Likewise.

	* coreutils.texi: New, renamed from omni-utils.texi.
	* omni-utils.texi: Removed, renamed to coreutils.texi.

	* omni-utils.texi (ls invocation): Mention the effect of locale.
	Reported by Keith Thompson.

2001-05-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* texinfo.tex: Update from master source.

	* omni-utils.texi (ls invocation): Document more clearly what ls
	does when given no arguments.

2001-05-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* textutils.texi: Remove file.

	* Makefile.am ($(DVIS), $(INFO_DEPS)): Depend on $(EXTRA_DIST).
