        * Version 5.3.0.
 
+       * ls now exits with status 1 on minor problems, 2 if serious trouble.
+       * NEWS: Document this.
+       * src/ls.c (LS_MINOR_PROBLEM, LS_FAILURE): New constants.
+       All uses of EXIT_FAILURE replaced with LS_FAILURE, unless
+       specified below.
+       (main): Initialize exit failure to LS_FAILURE.
+       (print_dir, gobble_file, get_link_name, xstrcoll):
+       Set exit status to LS_MINOR_PROBLEM if the failure is minor.
+       (print_dir): Do not give up on entire directory merely because readdir
+       returns EOVERFLOW.
+       (usage): Explain exit status.
+       * tests/help-version: ls and variants now exit with status 2
+       on serious trouble.
