 GNU findutils NEWS - User visible changes.	-*- outline -*- (allout)
+* Major changes in release 4.1.20:
+** New maintainer, James Youngman <jay@gnu.org>
+** As far as I know, this is the first release after 4.1.7, but I've left 
+   a gap just in case. 
+** We now use an "imported" version of gnulib, rather than including 
+   a copy of the gnulib code in our CVS repository.   There are no
+   differences in the build instructions, though (unless you are 
+   building directly from CVS, in which case please read the file
+   README-CVS).
+** There are no (deliberate) functional changes in version 4.1.20.

 * Major changes in release 4.1.7:
 fix problem so that default "-print" is added when "-prune" is used.
 security fixes related to directories changing while find is executing.
