 User-visible changes in release 3.10:
+* ln accepts a new option: --no-dereference (-n).  With this option,
+  if the destination command line argument is a symlink to a directory,
+  use that as the destination instead of the file in the directory.
 * `ln -i no-such-file existing-file' gives a diagnostic and fails.
   Before, if you responded `yes' to the prompt it would both remove
   `existing-file' and fail to make a link.
