Now any file whose name starts with - is handled as option. To insert file names starting with dash, use --add-file option. +* List files containing null-separated file names are detected and processed +automatically. It is not necessary to give --null option. + * New option --no-unquote disables unquoting input file names. This is useful e.g. for processing output from `find dir -print0'. An orthogonal option --unquote is provided as well. +* Better support for full-resolution time stamps.
