 From the NEWS file:

* CVS creates a unique session id that gets written to the RCS files 
during import and commit. When committing several files at once, they 
all get the same 'commitid'. The commitid becomes visible with log and 
status commands, and is derived and compatible with the cvsnt project.

* CVS now accepts the <tag>:<date> format, which has long been 
acceptable as an argument to -j options, in most places where <tag> used 
to be acceptable. An empty tag in this format (e.g. ":<date>"), which 
used to be rejected, is now interpreted as specifying a date on the trunk.
