+2006-12-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Improve the documentation
+ for bs, ibs, obs, and cbs. Suggestion from Dan Jacobson.
+ Patch by Olivier Delhomme.
+ (dd invocation): Add to the description of cbs.
+
+2006-12-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi: Remove two doubled words.
+ (Treating / specially): With --preserve-root, chgrp and chown
+ will not modify "/", even through a symlink.
+
+2006-11-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * perm.texi (Mode Structure): Fix typo: s/setgid/setuid/.
+ Reported by Georg Neis as Debian bug 400778.
+
+2006-10-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (wc invocation): When giving the order in which
+ the various "counts" are listed, also mention "maximum line length".
+ Prompted by a report from Vincent LeFevre.
+
+2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (rm invocation): Describe --one-file-system.
+
+2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (groups invocation): "groups" no longer prefixes
+ the output with "user :" unless more than one user is specified.
+
+2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Say that -i and -f are
+ independent. Clarify -i's behavior.
+ (Disk usage): Clarify intro. Problem reported by Van Ly.
+
+2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Ignore -f when standard input
+ is a FIFO, too.
+
+2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (Treating / specially): --preserve-root is
+ now the default for rm.
+ (rm invocation): Likewise. Also, document that you can't
+ remove `.' or `..'. Use the POSIX term "root directory"
+ rather than the more-ambiguous "file system root".
+
+2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * .cvsignore: Add Makefile.in, coreutils.html, coreutils.pdf,
+ coreutils.ps, coreutils.tps. Remove coreutils.cm (dunno what it
+ is, but the makefile doesn't mention it). Remove coreutils.info
+ as it is subsumed by coreutils.info*.
+
+2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * .cvsignore: Add files that are now generated by ../bootstrap.
+
+2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * Makefile.in, fdl.texi, getdate.texi:
+ Remove from CVS, since ../bootstrap generates them automatically.
+
+2006-08-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Reflect doclicense.texi->fdl.texi renaming.
+
+2006-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * ChangeLog: Add copyright notice.
+ * Makefile.am: Likewise.
+ * getdate.texi: Likewise.
+ * perm.texi: Likewise.
+ * getdate.texi: Update to version 1.2 of the GNU FDL.
+ * coreutils.texi: Likewise.
+ (Copying This Manual): Renamed from GNU Free Documentation License.
+ Now an appendix. Include fdl.texi rather than doclicense.texi.
+ * fdl.tex: Renamed from doclicense.texi. Latest version from FSF.
+ * perm.texi: Add copyright notice.
+
+2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (df invocation): df exits nonzero if it outputs
+ nothing.
+
+2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Warn about oflag=append without
+ conv=notrunc. See Debian bug 373736.
+
+2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (shuf invocation, Random sources): New sections.
+ (Operating on sorted files): Add shuf.
+ (sort invocation, shred invocation): New option --random-source.
+ (sort invocation): Fix typo: -R -> -r.
+
+2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (install invocation, mkdir invocation):
+ Add cross-references to Directory Setuid and Setgid.
+ (install-invocation): The default mode is no longer equivalent to 755.
+ * perm.texi (Changing Special Mode Bits): Clarify u+s versus
+ a+s versus +s, and likewise for g+s.
+ (Numeric Modes): Bring back example of 0055 == 55. 4755 no
+ longer clears setgid bit on directories.
+ (Directory Setuid and Setgid): Numeric modes now affect setuid
+ and setgid on directories only if they set these bits. This
+ is so that leading 0 has no effect on numeric modes.
+
+2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (What information is listed): Mention that missing
+ pieces of information are marked with "?". From Paul Eggert.
+
+2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * perm.texi (Directory Setuid and Setgid): Explain that this is a
+ GNU extension, and that other systems behave differently here.
+
+2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (What information is listed): Clarify that the
+ restricted deletion flag is another name for the sticky bit.
+ * perm.texi (Mode Structure): The restricted deletion flag
+ restricts only unprivileged users.
+ (Mode Structure, Symbolic Modes, Numeric Modes): Be more careful
+ about distinguishing file mode bits from permissions bits,
+ and about execute versus search permission. The FreeBSD command
+ is chflags, not chrflags.
+
+2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi: Change GNU to @acronym{GNU} in a few places.
+ Use "set-user-ID" and "set-group-ID" a bit more consistently.
+ Use "appropriate privileges" rather than "super-user" a bit
+ more consistently.
+ (install invocation): Parent directories are now 755 without uid
+ or gid changing. The default mode is now 0755, not 755.
+ (mkdir invocation): Rewrite the top-level usage description, since
+ I couldn't easily follow the old one. It's now 3 lines not 8.
+ For -m, describe file permission bits versus other bits, and note
+ that mkdir is atomic if you don't mention special bits.
+ (chmod invocation): Mention what chmod does to setgid and setuid bits.
+ * perm.texi (Mode Structure): Modernize the explanation of the
+ setuid and setgid bits on directories.
+ (Changing Special Mode Bits): Mention that a implies both u and g
+ for s. Cross reference to new node.
+ (Numeric Modes): Don't claim that 0055 is the same as 55; this isn't
+ true any more. Mention new node.
+ 4755 is now like u=rwxs,go=rx,g-s, not like u=rwxs,go=rx.
+ (Directory Setuid and Setgid): New node.
+
+2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (Squeezing): Separate doubled "the", so typo-checkers
+ don't complain.
+
+ * Makefile.am (check-texinfo): Enforce the zeros vs. zeroes consistency.
+
+2006-07-08 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ * coreutils.texi: Fix some typos. Use `zeros' consistently (both
+ `zeros' and `zeroes' are correct).
+
+2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (tail invocation): With no operand, 'tail -f' now
+ silently ignores the '-f' only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe
+ and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
+
+2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (seq invocation): seq now uses long double
+ internally rather than double. It now defaults to a minimal fixed
+ point format if possible. It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
+ Don't assume printf doesn't work for numbers that fit in 64 but
+ not 32 bits; typically they work these days. Improve discussion
+ of large integers and update the rounding-error numbers.
+
+2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * coreutils.texi (sort invocation): 'sort +1 -2' is now supported
+ even when conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure
+ extension to POSIX.
+
2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
* coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Remove ./ prefix from example.
(DISABLED_constants.texi): New rule -- disabled for now.
This directory is now shared by fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils.
