coreutils-7.5 soon?

[Jim Meyering]

There have been enough interesting changes that
it seems worthwhile to make a release soon.
As I see it, the most notable are the new program, stdbuf,
and tail's addition of inotify support.

Here are the NEWS entries:
---------------------------------------------
** Bug fixes

  truncate -s failed to skip all whitespace in the option argument in
  some locales.

  sort now correctly ignores fields whose ending position is specified
  before the start position. Previously in numeric mode the remaining
  part of the line after the start position was used as the sort key.
  [This bug appears to have been present in "the beginning".]

** New programs

  stdbuf: A new program to run a command with modified stdio buffering
  for its standard streams.

** Changes in behavior

  ls --color: files with multiple hard links are no longer colored differently
  by default. That can be enabled by changing the LS_COLORS environment
  variable. You can control that using the MULTIHARDLINK dircolors input
  variable which corresponds to the 'mh' LS_COLORS item. Note these variables
  were renamed from 'HARDLINK' and 'hl' which were available since
  coreutils-7.1 when this feature was introduced.

** New features

  chroot now accepts the options --userspec and --groups.

  sort accepts a new option, --human-numeric-sort (-h): sort numbers
  while honoring human readable suffixes like KiB and MB etc.

  tail uses inotify when possible.
