+* New pseudo-target .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME, superseding the configure
+ option --disable-nsec-timestamps. You might need this if your build
+ process depends on tools like "cp -p" preserving time stamps, since
+ "cp -p" (right now) doesn't preserve the subsecond portion of a time
+ stamp.

Version 3.79.1
* .SECONDARY with no prerequisites now prevents any target from being
removed because make thinks it's an intermediate file, not just those
listed in the makefile.
-* New configure option --disable-nsec-timestamps will keep make from
- using sub-second timestamps on systems which support it. If your
- build process depends on proper timestamp-preserving behavior of tools
- like "cp -p" you might need this option, since "cp -p" (right now)
- doesn't preserve the sub-second portion of the timestamp.
+* New configure option --disable-nsec-timestamps, but this was
+ superseded in later versions by the .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME pseudo-target.
