> cp now copies sparse files efficiently on file systems with FIEMAP
> support (ext4, btrfs, xfs, ocfs2). Before, it had to read 220 bytes
> when copying a 1MiB sparse file. Now, it copies bytes only for the
> non-sparse sections of a file. Similarly, to induce a hole in the
> output file, it had to detect a long sequence of zero bytes. Now,
> it knows precisely where each hole in an input file is, and can
> reproduce them efficiently in the output file. mv also benefits
> when it resorts to copying, e.g., between file systems.
>
> join now supports -o 'auto' which will automatically infer the
> output format from the first line in each file, to ensure
> the same number of fields are output for each line.
>
> ** Changes in behavior
>
> join no longer reports disorder when one of the files is empty.
> This allows one to use join as a field extractor like:
> join -a1 -o 1.3,1.1 - /dev/null
