 Changes in release 2.1
 [2.0.21]
+* split accepts new option -a or --suffix-length.
+* split no longer generates longer suffixes than requested; instead, it reports
+  an error when suffixes are exhausted.  POSIX requires this behavior.
 * The following obsolete usages are no longer supported on systems conforming
   to POSIX 1003.1-2001, which prohibits most digit-string options:
     expand -N  (instead, use expand -t N)
