* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+** New features
+
+ 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
+ split a file into 3 approximately equal parts, which are then compressed:
+ split -n3 --filter='xz > $FILE.xz' big
+ Note the use of single quotes, not double quotes.
+ That creates files named xaa.xz, xab.xz and xac.xz.
+
* Noteworthy changes in release 8.12 (2011-04-26) [stable]
