+    if that fails does it resort to unlinking the file and retrying the open.
+    Before, it would unlink the file before trying to open it.
+* cp accepts a new option, --remove-destination, that provides the old behavior
+* cp's -f option no longer cancels the effect of --interactive (-i) (per POSIX)
 * when ls sorts directory entries, it now honors the current locale settings
 * dd's `skip=BLOCKS' operator once again works on systems with a buggy lseek
   function (Linux, at least on SCSI tape devices)
