 Changes in release 3.17:
+* ls now quotes file names for the shell by default, if they contain
+  characters that need quoting.  Use -N to get the old default behavior.
+  The new behavior is also enabled by the new option -e or --quote-shell.
 [3.16g]
 * ln --backup is now consistent with cp and mv in that --force is no longer
   required when the destination is an existing non-directory.
