Earlier this week Rust Coreutils 0.6 released while out today is GNU Coreutils 9.10 as the de facto standard for this set of core utilities on Linux systems and other platforms.
GNU Coreutils 9.10 brings many improvements over last year’s releases. GNU Coreutils 9.10 changes include:
– Fixing an infinite loop for cp, install, and mv commands when copying sparse files with SEEK_HOLE.
– The stat and tail commands now know about the guest-memfd file-system type.
– The tail command supports a “–debug” option for debugging.
– Improved formatting of hyperlinks with “ls –hyperlink”
– The multi-call binary built via the “–enable-single-binary” is now around 3.2% smaller.
– The cksum, du, and wc commands now exit prompt when receiving a write error, which is a big time savings if processing many input files.
– The du command can now process directories with 10,000 or more entries up to 9 times faster when using the Lustre file-system.
– Various other bug fixes and improvements.
GNU Coreutils 9.10 can be downloaded from savannah.gnu.org.
