I expect to release coreutils-5.93 from the stable b5_9x branch
some time tomorrow. If any of you think there's a change that
belongs in that release, please speak up now.
The NEWS file looks like this:
** Bug fixes
dircolors no longer segfaults upon an attempt to use the new
STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE (OWT) attribute
du no longer overflows a counter when processing a file larger than
2^31-1 on some 32-bit systems (at least some AIX 5.1 configurations).
md5sum once again defaults to using the ` ' non-binary marker
(rather than the `*' binary marker) by default on Unix-like systems.
mkdir -p and install -d no longer exit nonzero when asked to create
a directory like `nonexistent/.'
rm emits a better diagnostic when (without -r) it fails to remove
a directory on e.g., Solaris 9/10 systems.
tac now works when stdin is a tty, even on non-Linux systems
"tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as POSIX
1003.1-2001 requires, even when coreutils is conforming to older
POSIX standards, as the newly-required behavior is upward-compatible
with the old.
** Build-related bug fixes
installing .mo files would fail
