In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail. * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix. Also exercises the new df feature, below. chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits 2006-07-17T03:02:45Z Paul Eggert eggert@cs.ucla.edu 2006-07-17T03:02:45Z urn:sha1:999eeed90f8e614cad8f52657d5fc4b3a611213e of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly. install and mkdir now implement X correctly. install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without changing their owner or group. * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory, 2006-07-07T06:38:36Z Jim Meyering jim@meyering.net 2006-07-07T06:38:36Z urn:sha1:1ac491f062c74edb0a3d4609c0ad4b87b4e25f03 and give an example.

You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623', for example, since the default format now has the same effect. seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats. seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
