     directory, don't treat it as if it were the only argument.  Before,
     `mkdir d; ls no-dir d 2>/dev/null' would act like `ls d' and produce
     no output.  Now, it prints `d:'.
+* touch -d 'last friday' would use a time stamp that was one hour off
+    (e.g., 23:00 on *thursday* rather than 00:00 of the preceding friday)
+    when run such that the current time and the target date/time fall on
+    opposite sides of a daylight savings time transition.
+    This problem arises only with relative date strings like `last monday'.
+    It is not a problem with strings that include absolute dates.

 * regenerate configure-related files using autoconf-2.49d
