I am pleased to announce the release of version 4.2.18 of GNU
findutils. This is another bugfix release; the list of bugs fixes
appears below.
GNU findutils is a set of software tools for finding files that match
certain criteria and for performing various operations on them.
Findutils includes the programs "find", "xargs" and "locate".
This is a bugfix release of the software, and can be downloaded from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/findutils.
The "stable" releases of findutils on the other hand can be downloaded
from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/findutils. The ftp.gnu.org site is very
busy, so you may find it more convenient to download findutils from
one of the mirror sites listed at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html.
More information about findutils is available at
http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/.
Bugs in GNU findutils should be reported to the findutils bug tracker
at http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=findutils. Reporting bugs via
the web interface will ensure that you are automatically informed when
the bug has been fixed. General discussion of findutils takes place
on the bug-findutils mailing list. To join the 'bug-findutils'
mailing list, send email to <address@hidden>.
* Major changes in release 4.2.18
** Bug Fixes
*** "find -depth" was missing out non-leaf directories when they contain
other directories. This affected findutils releases 4.2.15,
4.2.16 and 4.2.17, but the bug is now fixed.
*** Find no longer hangs on systems which are clients of unresponsive
NFS servers.
** Documentation improvements
*** Improvements and corrections to the find.1 manpage, including
corrections to the descriptions of -H and -L.
