-Copyright 1994-1999, 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+
+* New options --index-file, --no-overwrite-dir. The --overwrite-dir
+ option is now the default; use --no-overwrite-dir if you prefer
+ the previous default behavior.
+
+* New message translations en_GB (British English), fi (Finnish), gl
+ (Galician), hr (Croatian), hu (Hungarian), ms (Malaysian), nb
+ (Norwegian), ro (Romanian), sk (Slovak), zh_CN (Chinese simplified),
+ zh_TW (Chinese traditional). The code 'no' for Norwegian has been
+ withdrawn; use 'nb' instead.
+
+version 1.13.25 - Paul Eggert, 2001-09-26
+
+* Bug fixes.
+
+version 1.13.24 - Paul Eggert, 2001-09-22
+
+* New option --overwrite-dir.
+* Fixes for buffer overrun, porting, and copyright notice problems.
+* The message translations for Korean are available again.
+
+version 1.13.23 - Paul Eggert, 2001-09-13
+
+* Bug, porting, and copyright notice fixes.
+
+version 1.13.22 - Paul Eggert, 2001-08-29
+
+* Bug fixes.
+
+version 1.13.21 - Paul Eggert, 2001-08-28
+
+* 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 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+ The translation for Korean has been withdrawn due to encoding errors.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
+
+* The -I option has been withdrawn, as it was buggy and confusing.
+ Eventually it is planned to be reintroduced, with the same meaning as -T.
+
+* With an option like -N DATE, if DATE starts with "/" or ".", it is taken
+ to be a file name; the last-modified time of that file is used as the date.
version 1.13.18 - Paul Eggert, 2000-10-29
but they have been removed to maintain compatibility with paxutils.
