+** Improvements
+
+  stat and tail work better with HFS+ and HFSX.  stat -f --format=%T now reports
+  the file system type, and tail -f now uses inotify for files, rather than the
+  default of issuing a warning and reverting to polling.

 * Noteworthy changes in release 8.22 (2013-12-13) [stable]
