Release v1.8.3
==============

New features
------------

* The -0 option now fakes success on ownership changes.  This improves
  the compatibility with package managers that abort if ``chown(2)``
  fails.  Note that this is quite limited compared to ``fakeroot``.

* Force utsname.machine to "i386" for 32-bit programs running on
  x86_64 systems.  This improves the compatibility with package
  managers that deduce the current architecture from `uname -m`.

Fixes
-----

* Fix a regression regarding the concatenation of the ``..`` with a
  path ending with ``.``.  For intance you can now do ``ls foo`` where
  ``foo`` is a symbolic link to ``/bar/.``.

* Don't return an error if the specified size for ``getcwd(2)`` and
  ``readlink(2)`` is greater than PATH_MAX.  Technically the result
  may likely be shorter than this limit.
