Here is the expected NEWS:
** Bug fixes
id no longer crashes on systems without supplementary group support.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.1]
rm once again handles zero-length arguments properly.
The rewrite to make rm use fts introduced a regression whereby
a command like "rm a '' b" would fail to remove "a" and "b", due to
the presence of the empty string argument.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.0]
