Thanks.
Now it looks like this:

  stat's --format=FMT option now works the way it did before 5.3.0:
  FMT is automatically newline terminated.  The first stable release
  containing this change was 5.92.

  stat accepts the new option --printf=PFMT, where PFMT is *not* automatically
  newline terminated.  Backslash escapes in PFMT *are* interpreted.
