        * Version 5.3.1.
 
+       * NEWS: dd seek=N now conforms to POSIX if the output isn't seekable.
+       * src/dd.c (skip): Return the number of records that were not
+       skipped due to encountering EOF.
+       (dd_copy): If the file wasn't seekable and EOF was encountered,
+       write zeros past EOF until the desired offset is reached.
+
        * NEWS: expr and test now correctly compare integers of unlimited size.
        (Also, correct a comment that claimed that expr detects integer
        overflow; it does so only when converting from strings.)
