+
+ * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
+ See Debian bug 373736.
+
+ * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
+ bug 317503.
+
+ * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
+
+ * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
+ work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
+ For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
+ (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
+
+ * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
+ (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
+ with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
+ * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
+ to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
+
+2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
+ and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
+
+ * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
+
+2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
+ random number generator library of 'shuf'.
+
+ * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
+ * README: Likewise.
+ * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
+ and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
+ and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
+ * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
+ * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
+ (shuf.1): New dependency.
+ * man/shuf.x: New file.
+ * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
+ (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
+ * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
+ lib/rand-isaac.c.
+ * src/shuf.c: New file.
+ * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
+ Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
+ (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
+ (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
+ * src/sort.c: Likewise.
+ * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
+ All callers changed to use randint interface.
+ (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
+ (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
+ (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
+ (randint_source): New static var.
+ (clear_random_data): New function.
+ (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
+ * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
+ (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
+ it's now replaced by --random-source.
+ (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
+ (randread_source): New static var.
+ (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
+ no collisions in the random hash function.
+ (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
+ via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
+ * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
+
+2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
+ file descriptor dest_desc.
+
+2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
+ if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
+
+ Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
+ reported by Bob Proulx.
+ * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
+ setgid bit more reliably on directories.
+ * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
+
