 Changes in release 3.17:
+* ln --backup is now consistent with cp and mv in that --force is no longer
+  required when the destination is an existing non-directory.
 [3.16f]
 * install accepts new option, --verbose (-v)
 * mkdir -p is a lot faster when creating very deep directories on some systems
