- Update to 8.16:
- Improvements:
* As a GNU extension, 'chmod', 'mkdir', and 'install' now accept
operators '-', '+', '=' followed by octal modes;
* Also, ordinary numeric modes with five or more digits no longer
preserve setuid and setgid bits, so that 'chmod 00755 FOO' now
clears FOO's setuid and setgid bits.
* dd now accepts the count_bytes, skip_bytes iflags and the
seek_bytes oflag, to more easily allow processing portions of a
file.
* dd now accepts the conv=sparse flag to attempt to create sparse
output, by seeking rather than writing to the output file.
* ln now accepts the --relative option, to generate a relative
symbolic link to a target, irrespective of how the target is
specified.
* split now accepts an optional "from" argument to
--numeric-suffixes, which changes the start number from the
default of 0.
* split now accepts the --additional-suffix option, to append an
additional static suffix to output file names.
* basename now supports the -a and -s options, which allow
processing of more than one argument at a time. Also the
complementary -z option was added to delimit output items with
the NUL character.
* dirname now supports more than one argument. Also the complementary
z option was added to delimit output items with the NUL character.
- Bug fixes
* du --one-file-system (-x) would ignore any non-directory
specified on the command line. For example, "touch f; du -x f"
would print nothing. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.15]
* mv now lets you move a symlink onto a same-inode destination
file that has two or more hard links.
* "mv A B" could succeed, yet A would remain.
* realpath no longer mishandles a root directory.
- Improvements
* ls can be much more efficient, especially with large directories
on file systems for which getfilecon-, ACL-check- and XATTR-
check-induced syscalls fail with ENOTSUP or similar.
* 'realpath --relative-base=dir' in isolation now implies
'--relative-to=dir' instead of causing a usage failure.
* split now supports an unlimited number of split files as default
behavior.
For a detaild list se NEWS in the documentation.
- Add up-to-date german translation.
- Add two upstream patches that speed up ls (bnc#752943):
* Cache (l)getfilecon calls to avoid the vast majority of the failing
underlying getxattr syscalls.
* Avoids always-failing queries for whether a file has a nontrivial
ACL and for whether a file has certain "capabilities".

- Update to 8.6:
o bugfixes
* du no longer multiply counts a file that is a directory or whose
link count is 1.
* du -H and -L now consistently count pointed-to files instead of
symbolic links, and correctly diagnose dangling symlinks.
* du --ignore=D now ignores directory D even when that directory is
found to be part of a directory cycle.
* split now diagnoses read errors rather than silently exiting.
* tac would perform a double-free when given an input line longer
than 16KiB.
* tail -F once again notices changes in a currently unavailable
directory, and works around a Linux kernel bug where inotify runs
out of resources.
* tr now consistently handles case conversion character classes.
o New features
* cp now accepts the --attributes-only option to not copy file data.
* du recognizes -d N as equivalent to --max-depth=N
* sort now accepts the --debug option, to highlight the part of the
line significant in the sort, and warns about questionable options.
* sort now supports -d, -f, -i, -R, and -V in any combination.
* stat now accepts the %m format directive to output the mount point
for a file. It also accepts the %w and %W format directives for
outputting the birth time of a file, if one is available.
o Changes in behavior
* df now consistently prints the device name for a bind mounted file,
rather than its aliased target.
* du now uses less than half as much memory when operating on trees
with many hard-linked files.
