Here's NEWS since 6.12
============================================================
* Noteworthy changes in release 7.0 (????-??-??) [beta]
** New programs
timeout: Run a command with bounded time.
truncate: Set the size of a file to a specified size.
** New features
comm now verifies that the inputs are in sorted order. This check can
be turned off with the --nocheck-order option.
comm accepts new option, --output-delimiter=STR, that allows specification
of an output delimiter other than the default single TAB.
md5sum now accepts the new option, --quiet, to suppress the printing of
'OK' messages. sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum, and sha512sum accept it, too.
sort accepts a new option, --files0-from=F, that specifies a file
containing a null-separated list of files to sort. This list is used
instead of filenames passed on the command-line to avoid problems with
maximum command-line (argv) length.
sort accepts a new option --batch-size=NMERGE, where NMERGE
represents the maximum number of inputs that will be merged at once.
When processing more than NMERGE inputs, sort uses temporary files.
** Bug fixes
chcon --verbose now prints a newline after each message
od no longer suffers from platform bugs in printf(3). This is
probably most noticeable when using 'od -tfL' to print long doubles.
** Improvements
Improved support for access control lists (ACLs): On MacOS X, Solaris 7..10,
HP-UX 11, Tru64, AIX, IRIX 6.5, and Cygwin, "ls -l" now displays the presence
of an ACL on a file via a '+' sign after the mode, and "cp -p" copies ACLs.
join has significantly better performance due to better memory management
od now aligns fields across lines when printing multiple -t
specifiers, and no longer prints fields that resulted entirely from
padding the input out to the least common multiple width.
============================================================
