** New features
+ md5sum accepts the new --strict option. With --check, it makes the
+ tool exit non-zero for any invalid input line, rather than just warning.
+ This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.

split accepts a new --filter=CMD option. With it, split filters output
through CMD. CMD may use the $FILE environment variable, which is set to
the nominal output file name for each invocation of CMD. For example, to
Note the use of single quotes, not double quotes.
That creates files named xaa.xz, xab.xz and xac.xz.

timeout accepts a new --foreground option, to support commands not started
directly from a shell prompt, where the command is interactive or needs to
receive signals initiated from the terminal.
** Improvements
- shuf outputs small subsets of large permutations much more efficiently.
- For example `shuf -i1-$((2**32-1)) -n2` no longer exhausts memory.
-
cp and ls now support HP-UX 11.11's ACLs, thanks to improved support
in gnulib.
+ df now supports disk partitions larger than 4 TiB on MacOS X 10.5
+ or newer and on AIX 5.2 or newer.

+
stat -f now recognizes the GPFS, MQUEUE and PSTOREFS file system types.
+ timeout now supports sub-second timeouts.
