 ** Bug fixes
 
-  sort -g no longer infloops for certain inputs containing NaNs
+  du -x no longer counts root directories of other file systems.
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-5.1.0]
+
+  ls --color many-entry-directory was uninterruptible for too long
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-5.2.1]
+
+  ls's -k option no longer affects how ls -l outputs file sizes.
+  It now affects only the per-directory block counts written by -l,
+  and the sizes written by -s.  This is for compatibility with BSD
+  and with POSIX 2008.  Because -k is no longer equivalent to
+  --block-size=1KiB, a new long option --kibibyte stands for -k.
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-4.5.4]
+
+  ls -l would leak a little memory (security context string) for each
+  nonempty directory listed on the command line, when using SELinux.
+  [bug probably introduced in coreutils-6.10 with SELinux support]
+
+  rm -rf DIR would fail with "Device or resource busy" on Cygwin with NWFS
+  and NcFsd file systems.  This did not affect Unix/Linux-based kernels.
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.0, when rm began using fts]
+
+  stat -f now recognizes the FhGFS and PipeFS file system types.
+
+  tac no longer fails to handle two or more non-seekable inputs
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
+
+  tail -f no longer tries to use inotify on GPFS or FhGFS file systems
+  [you might say this was introduced in coreutils-7.5, along with inotify
+   support, but the new magic numbers weren't in the usual places then.]
+
+** Changes in behavior
+
+  tail -f now uses polling (not inotify) when any of its file arguments
+  resides on a file system of unknown type.  In addition, for each such
+  argument, tail -f prints a warning with the FS type magic number and a
+  request to report it to the bug-reporting address.
+
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 8.14 (2011-10-12) [stable]
+
+** Bug fixes
 
   ls --dereference no longer outputs erroneous "argetm" strings for
   dangling symlinks when an 'ln=target' entry is in $LS_COLORS.
   [bug introduced in fileutils-4.0]
 
+  ls -lL symlink once again properly prints "+" when the referent has an ACL.
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.13]
+
+  sort -g no longer infloops for certain inputs containing NaNs
+  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.5]
+
 ** Improvements
 
   md5sum --check now supports the -r format from the corresponding BSD tool.
