        * Version 6.0-cvs.
 
+       * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
+       * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
+       descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
+       * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
+       and nolinks flags.  Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
+
        * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag.  This fixes a typo that meant the
        noatime test never tested anything.
