The entries +below in this file detail the changes that have occurred since release +4.3.13 (which is the common ancestor of this release and +findutils-4.4.0). This release includes all the bug fixes +incorporated into the 4.4.x release series, since those bug fixes were +also applied to the 4.5.x release series. + +** Summary of Changes + +The most significant changes since the 4.4.2 release are: + +1. Some backward-incompatible changes have been made to find: + - egrep regular expressions now work like GNU grep -E + - Minor changes to the way nanoseconds fields are printed + - find -perm +mode is now fully POSIX compliant (if you want the old + behaviour use -perm /mode). + - find -perm +numeric_mode is not supported any more. This syntax is + unspecified by POSIX. The prior functionality continues to be + available with -perm /numeric_mode. For more details see Savannah + bug #38474. + +2. Some backward-incompatible changes have been made to xargs: + - if the child exits with status 126 or 127, xargs exits with status + 123. + +3. There are also a large number of bugfixes, performance enhancements + and documentation improvements, as detailed below. + +4. The "oldfind" binary is no longer installed. ** Translations |
