   cp and mv: the --reply=X option is deprecated
 
+  date accepts the new option --rfc-3339=TIMESPEC.  The old --iso-8602 (-I)
+  option is deprecated; it still works, but new applications should avoid it.
+  date and ls's time formats now support new %:z, %::z, %:::z specifiers
+  for numeric time zone offsets like -07:00, -07:00:00, and -07.

   dd has new iflag= and oflag= flags "binary" and "text", which have an
   effect only on nonstandard platforms that distinguish text from binary I/O.
