 ** New programs
 
   timeout: Run a command with bounded time.
+  truncate: Set the size of a file to a specified size.
 
 ** New features
 
+  comm now verifies that the inputs are in sorted order.  This check can
+  be turned off with the --nocheck-order option.
+
+  comm accepts new option, --output-delimiter=STR, that allows specification
+  of an output delimiter other than the default single TAB.
+
   md5sum now accepts the new option, --quiet, to suppress the printing of
   'OK' messages.  sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum, and sha512sum accept it, too.
 
+** Bug fixes
+
+  od no longer suffers from platform bugs in printf(3).  This is
+  probably most noticeable when using 'od -tfL' to print long doubles.
+
+** Improvements
+
+  Improved support for access control lists (ACLs): On MacOS X, Solaris 7..10,
+  HP-UX 11, Tru64, AIX, IRIX 6.5, and Cygwin, "ls -l" now displays the presence
+  of an ACL on a file via a '+' sign after the mode, and "cp -p" copies ACLs.
