* Noteworthy changes in release 4.9.0 (2022-02-22) [stable]
** New features in find
find now supports the -files0-from option to be able to safely pass an
arbitrary number of starting points to the tool. The option requires a file
name as argument, or "-" to read from standard input. The entries in that
file have to be separated by NUL characters. [#60383]
** Changes in locate / updatedb
updatedb now skips (fuse-mounted) s3fs filesystems by default,
i.e., unless PRUNEFS is set.
** Bug Fixes
'find -D stat -L ...' no longer determines SELinux security information as
if the -L option was not given.
[Bug present since the SELinux implementation in 4.5.6]
'find -inum' and 'find -printf %i' now also work on platforms which allow
the inode number Zero; e.g. the GNU/Hurd uses inode number 0 for /dev/console.
Previously, find(1) would abort when visiting such a file.
[Bug present since FINDUTILS_4_5_4-1.]
findutils-4.8.0 failed to build on some MacOS versions.
Fixed by a gnulib update. [#59972, #59991]
** Documentation Changes
The find.1 man page and the Texinfo manual now show environment variables
in a consistent style. [#59963]
Furthermore, both add the description of the -printf format directive '%B',
for a file's birth time, and its limitations. [#61327]
The description of the -delete action has been improved and aligned among
the manual page and the Texinfo documentation. [#61774]
Various other documentation fixes - syntax issues and typos.
[#61303, #60823, #61341]
The output of 'find --help' now reads better.
The HTML online manual is using the official GNU stylesheet again.
** Changes to the build process
The find version without FTS, oldfind, has been completely removed. It has
not been installed since 4.5.18 (2015), and was only still used in tests.
