Release notes from coreutils

0.7.0

2026-03-09T05:53:45Z

Rust Coreutils 0.7.0 Release:

We are excited to announce the release of Rust Coreutils 0.7.0 — a performance-focused release with major optimizations across dozens of utilities, continued safety improvements replacing unsafe code with safe abstractions, and a comprehensive campaign to eliminate panics on write errors. We also contributed many patches upstream to GNU coreutils, and welcomed their feedbacks and supports, strengthening both projects!

GNU Test Suite Compatibility:

Result	0.6.0	0.7.0	Change 0.6.0 to 0.7.0	% Total 0.6.0	% Total 0.7.0	% Change 0.6.0 to 0.7.0
Pass	622	629	+7	96.28%	94.59%	-1.69%
Skip	7	13	+6	1.08%	1.95%	+0.87%
Fail	16	23	+7	2.48%	3.46%	+0.98%
Error	1	0	-1	0.15%	0%	-0.15%
Total	646	665	+19 (new tests)

Note: The GNU test reference was updated from 9.9 to 9.10, adding 19 new tests. While the pass percentage decreased due to these newly added tests, the absolute number of passing tests increased by 7 and errors were eliminated entirely. Work is ongoing to address the new test failures.

Highlights:

GNU Compatibility & Upstream Contributions
- 629 passing tests (+7 from 0.6.0), with 19 new tests added from the GNU 9.10 update
- Updated GNU test reference from 9.9 to 9.10
- Contributed numerous patches upstream to GNU coreutils, benefiting both projects
- New GNU compatibility fixes across date, fmt, kill, ptx, numfmt, cksum, and more
- Took over maintenance of num-prime, the primality testing library used by factor
Performance Overhaul
- Faster hash maps: rustc-hash in ls, du, tsort, shuf, mv; foldhash in sort
- unexpand/expand: ASCII fast-path, buffered reads — 14%+ gain in unexpand
- shuf, split, sort, du: Reduced malloc allocations (+3–6% in du, +4% in shuf)
- nl: Optimized with itoa and direct writing
- true/false: Removed clap dependency, smaller binary, faster startup
- uucore: Disabled signal setup in simple utilities for binary size and startup speed
Robustness: Eliminated /dev/full Panics
- Fixed panics when stderr is /dev/full across 20+ utilities (echo, date, sort, expr, hostname, id, comm, pr, dircolors, and more)
- Generic fix ensuring unrecognized options with 2>/dev/full do not abort
Safety & Code Quality
- Replaced unsafe libc calls with safe nix crate wrappers in uucore (umask, mkdirat, and more) and mknod
- Eliminated TOCTOU races in ln, tac, and install -D
- rm: --preserve-root now works correctly on symlinks
- MSRV updated to 1.88
Notable Bug Fixes
- date: Extensive fixes — -u/-s/-d flags, timezone abbreviation lookup and DST, RFC-822 format, %+/%_ modifiers, --debug, locale date_fmt
- cp: Readonly directories, -a/-z flags, special files, non-UTF-8 directory names
- mv: Preserve symlinks during cross-device moves, handle FIFOs in directories
- ls: Hyperlink OSC 8 format, dired reports, fd leak on deep recursion, invalid UTF-8 hidden files
- sort: Collator panic in worker threads, scientific notation parsing
- paste: Multi-byte delimiters, GNU escape sequences, bounded buffering
- printf: %q shell quoting with control chars and quotes
- ptx: -t/--typeset-mode, multibyte Unicode panic, GNU default behavior
- numfmt: --debug flag, empty delimiter, null byte handling, error message formatting
- cksum: SHAKE algorithms, --binary/--text/--tag errors
- cut, tac, tail, tr, uniq, od, chroot, stat, mktemp, pr, readlink, ln, kill, nproc, rm, env, sync, fmt, factor, wc: Various GNU compatibility and correctness fixes
Platform Support
- NetBSD and PowerPC build fixes
- Windows: tac stdin piping, test -r/-w/-x, publish static *.exe binaries
- WebAssembly: Publish *.wasm artifacts
- stdbuf: Support libstdbuf in same directory as binary
- NixOS test compatibility fix; added security audit workflow

Rust Coreutils 0.6.0 Release:

We are happy to announce the release of Rust Coreutils 0.6.0 — a major milestone achieving 96% GNU compatibility with significant safety improvements, enhanced locale support, and extensive bug fixes!

Highlights:

Major GNU Compatibility Leap
- 622 passing tests (+56 from 0.5.0), achieving 96.28% compatibility
- Reduced failures from 55 to just 16 (-39) and skipped tests from 23 to 7 (-16)
- Extensive test suite improvements across sort, ls, date, cksum, tail, and many more
Safety & Code Quality
- Removed unsafe code from date, sort, locale.rs, and other utilities
- Replaced raw libc calls with safe nix crate equivalents throughout
- Enhanced error handling to avoid panics on /dev/full writes across many utilities
Locale & Internationalization
- Added ICU support for locale-aware day/month names in date
- Implemented locale-aware hour formatting and calendar support
- Added locale-aware numeric sorting with thousand separator support in sort
- Locale-aware collation support in join
Performance Improvements
- base32/base64/basenc: Optimized with reduced memset operations
- shuf: Optimized numeric output and added --random-seed option
- date: Wrapped stdout in BufWriter for batch processing

- Enhanced Cygwin support across multiple utilities
- Added SMACK security module support for ls, id, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod
- Added RISC-V 64-bit musl target to CI
Notable Utility Improvements
- cksum/hashsum: Merged common logic, removed deprecated hashsum binary
- tail: Added --debug flag, fixed -F symlink tracking, fixed --pid with FIFO
- timeout: Added comprehensive signal handling and --verbose improvements
- sort: Legacy +POS/-POS handling, locale-aware collation, debug key annotations

📦 Rust Coreutils 0.2.0 Release:

We are excited to announce the release of Rust Coreutils 0.2.0 — our first fully internationalized release!
This milestone brings comprehensive localization support, major performance improvements, and enhanced Unicode handling.

Highlights:

Full Internationalization & Localization
Complete translation infrastructure using Mozilla's Fluent framework with French translations included.
Support for complex plural forms (Arabic, Hebrew, etc.) and locale-aware formatting.
Even error messages from clap are fully localizable!
Community Translation Platform
Join our translation efforts at Weblate
or contribute directly via our l10n repository
Unicode & Non-UTF8 Path Support
All programs now handle non-UTF8 paths seamlessly while supporting full Unicode features.
Example: echo "🍔🍟🥤" | cut -d"🍟" -f1 works perfectly with emoji delimiters!
Massive Performance Gains
Notable example: tr went from 9.81x slower than GNU to 1.58x faster — a 15x improvement!
Additional optimizations in sort, cat, and other utilities.
Enhanced GNU Compatibility
538 passing tests (+16 from 0.1.0), with reduced failures from 65 to 52.
Continued improvements in edge case handling and behavior matching.
Production Ready for Ubuntu
As part of Ubuntu's announcement of plans to integrate Rust Coreutils, this release focuses on stability and compatibility improvements to ensure Ubuntu users have the best possible experience.
Contributions
This release includes 1183 commits from 46+ contributors, including 28 newcomers!
All this with a code coverage about 87%!

GNU Test Suite Compatibility:

Full Changelog: 0.0.30...0.1.0

0.0.30

2025-05-24T21:56:22Z

📦 Rust Coreutils 0.0.30 Release:

We are excited to announce the release of Rust Coreutils 0.0.30!

Highlights:

Improved Compatibility:
- This release focused on compatibility with the upstream GNU Coreutils 9.6 release. This is why the number of passing tests didn't change much - our effort was directed at adapting to the new upstream version rather than fixing existing test failures.
- Passing GNU tests increased to 507 (+1 compared to 0.0.29).
Contributions: This release was made possible by the dedication of 22 contributors, including 8 newcomers.
We also announced at FOSDEM the extension of this project to cover other key Linux tools through our uutils initiative. This will extend the Rust rewrite effort to additional common Unix tools. See the presentation on YouTube (slides) or read the LWN article for more details about our vision.

GNU Test Suite Compatibility:

Here's how version 0.0.30 compares to the previous release:

Result	0.0.29	0.0.30	Change 0.0.29 to 0.0.30	% Total 0.0.29	% Total 0.0.30	% Change 0.0.29 to 0.0.30
Pass	506	507	+1	82.38%	82.17%	-0.21%
Skip	41	41	0	6.68%	6.65%	-0.03%
Fail	67	69	+2	10.92%	11.18%	+0.26%
Total	614	617	+3 (new tests)
