-* Noteworthy changes in release 6.12 (????-??-??) [stable]
+* Noteworthy changes in release 7.0 (????-??-??) [beta]
+
+** 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.
+
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 6.12 (2008-05-31) [stable]
** Bug fixes
tac: avoid segfault with --regex (-r) and multiple files, e.g.,
"echo > x; tac -r x x". [bug present at least in textutils-1.8b, from 1992]
+** Changes in behavior
+
+ install once again sets SELinux context, when possible
+ [it was deliberately disabled in 6.9.90]
