 * Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
 
+** Improvements
+
+  md5sum --check now supports the -r format from the corresponding BSD tool.
+  This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.
+
+  pwd now works also on systems without openat.  On such systems, pwd
+  would fail when run from a directory whose absolute name contained
+  more than PATH_MAX / 3 components.  Also affected due to their use
+  of canonicalize_* functions: df, stat, readlink.
+
+** Changes in behavior
+
+  timeout now only processes the first signal received from the set
+  it is handling (SIGTERM, SIGINT, ...).  This is to support systems that
+  implicitly create threads for some timer functions (like GNU/kFreeBSD).
+
 
 * Noteworthy changes in release 8.13 (2011-09-08) [stable]
