coreutils-4.5.12 released (final candidate for coreutils-5.0) |

This is a bug-fix-only release.
I expect this to be the final test release before coreutils-5.0,
the first officially `stable' release of the unified package,
so please give it a try and report any problems.
Soon.

ChangeLog entries:
**********************************************************************
ChangeLog
**********************************************************************
2003-03-29 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* Version 4.5.12.
* README: Note to expect build problems for stat.c on Ultrix 4.3.
Note that there are some harmless test failures when running
`make check' as root on some systems.
2003-03-28 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* tests/stty/row-col-1: Skip this test if stty can't get window size.
This happens when connecting to sparc-solaris2.7 via ssh from within
emacs. Reported by Karl Berry.
* tests/du/basic: Use seq, not `yes' to generate 4KB of data.
Otherwise, on systems (DJGPP) that emulate pipes using files,
this test would never complete, waiting for `yes' to terminate.
* tests/du/slink: As above, use seq, not `yes' to generate link target.
* tests/rm/hash: As above, use seq, not `yes' to generate dir name.
Reported by Rich Dawe.
2003-03-27 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/id.c: Remove Arnold Robbins' obsolete e-mail address
from `written by...' comment, at his request.
2003-03-24 Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Fix buffer overrun problem reported by TAKAI Kousuke, along
with some other POSIX incompatibilities.
* src/printf.c (print_esc): Do not treat \x specially if
POSIXLY_CORRECT. Avoid buffer overrun if the format ends
in backslash. Treat incomplete escape sequences as strings
of characters, as POSIX requires.
(print_formatted): Allow multiple flags. Avoid buffer overrun
if the format is incomplete.
2003-03-24 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* tests/misc/printf: Add tests for the above fixes and changes.
2003-03-26 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add a comment.
2003-03-23 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* README: Describe problem with 64-bit mode on HPUX 11.x,
with patch for /usr/include/inttypes.h.
* TODO: Plan to add an autoconf test to work around the bug.
2003-03-22 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* src/stat.c: Don't include <sys/sysmacros.h>.
That is already done via system.h. Otherwise, the multiple
inclusion would evoke redefinition warnings from Cray's /bin/cc,
aka Cray Standard C Version 4.0.3 (057126) Mar 22 2003 22:02:28.
(human_fstype): Factor some directives `up', out of this function.
Cast away `const' to avoid error from Cray's /bin/cc.
2003-03-20 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* announce-gen (print_changelog_deltas): Ensure that a newline
precedes each row of `*'s.
**********************************************************************
lib/ChangeLog
**********************************************************************
2003-03-22 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
* strftime.c (widen): Cast alloca return value to proper type.
* fnmatch_loop.c
(NEW_PATTERN): Cast alloca return value to proper type.
Otherwise, it wouldn't compile with at least /bin/cc on
ymp-cray-unicos9.0.2.X.
Combine two mostly-identical uses of alloca into one.
Thanks to the Cray-Cyber project for access to a Cray Y-MP.

* coreutils.texi (printf invocation): Fix formatting bugs.
From Paul Eggert.
