 ** Changes in behavior
 
+  ln now uses different (and we hope clearer) diagnostics when it fails.
+  ln -v now acts more like FreeBSD, so it generates output only when
+  successful and the output is easier to parse.
+
   ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', not --time-style='posix-long-iso'.
   However, the 'locale' time style now behaves like 'posix-long-iso'
   if your locale settings appear to be messed up.  This change
