* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
** Bug Fixes
Find now defaults to optimisation level 1 rather than 2 and the
cost-based optimizer will only run at level 2 and above. This
should prevent changes of operation order which result in
user-visible differences in behaviour.
user-visible differences in behaviour. [#58427]
If the -P option to xargs is not used, xargs will not change the way
in which the SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 signals are handled. This means that
they will cause the program to terminate if the signals were not
ignored in the process which started xargs. If you want to depend
on xargs not being killed by these signals but don't want
parallel execution, use "-P 1".

that they will cause the program to terminate if the signals were

compliance.
xargs -P now waits for all its child processes to compete before
exiting, even if one of them exits with status 255. [#64451]
If the -P option of xargs is in use, input reads interrupted by a
signal are re-started. [#64442]
'find -name /' no longer outputs a warning, because that is a valid pattern
to match the root directory "/". Previously, a diagnostic falsely claimed
that this pattern would not match anything. [#62227]

Previously, that was limited to INT_MAX, although the types uid_t and gid_t
are larger on many systems, including x86_64 GNU/Linux. [#64900]
find -xtype l no longer fails on symbolic links that point to
themselves. These are treated similarly to broken links. [#51926]
** Improvements
The find predicates -used, -amin, -cmin, -mmin, -atime, -ctime, and -mtime
