+
+* Porting and copyright notice fixes.
+
+version 1.13.20 - Paul Eggert, 2001-08-27
+
+* Some bugs were fixed:
+ - security problems
+ - hard links to symbolic links
* New option --recursion (the default) that is the inverse of --no-recursion.
* New options --anchored, --ignore-case, --wildcards,
--wildcards-match-slash, and their negations (e.g., --no-anchored).
- Along with --recursion and --no-recursion, these control how exclude
- patterns are interpreted. The default interpretation of exclude
- patterns is now --no-anchored --no-ignore-case --recursion
- --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash.
+ Along with --recursion and --no-recursion, these options control how
+ exclude patterns are interpreted.
+
+* The default interpretation of exclude patterns is now --no-anchored
+ --no-ignore-case --recursion --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash.
+ This is a quiet change to the semantics of --exclude. The previous
+ semantics were a failed attempt at backward compatibility but it
+ became clear that the semantics were puzzling and did not satisfy
+ everybody. Rather than continue to try to revive that dead horse we
+ thought it better to substitute cleaner semantics, with options so
+ that you can change the behavior more to your liking.
+
+* New message translations for Indonesian and Turkish.
+ The translation for Korean has been withdrawn due to encoding errors.
+ It will be reissued once those are fixed.
version 1.13.19 - Paul Eggert, 2001-01-13
