9.9
Bug fixes
`basenc --base58` would not operate correctly with input >
15561475 bytes.
[bug introduced with --base58 in coreutils-9.8]
'cksum --check' now supports base64 encoded input in untagged format:
- for all length adjustable algorithms (blake2b, sha2, sha3),
- if that base64 input starts with a tag like "SHA1" etc.
Previously an error was given, about invalid input format.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
'cksum --check -a sha2' has better support for tagged format. Previously
an unneeded but explicit '-a sha2' did not match standard tags like SHA256.
Also non standard SHA2 tags with a bad length resulted in undefined behavior.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.8]
'cp' restores performance with transparently compressed files, which
regressed due to the avoidance of copy offload, seen with OpenZFS at least.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.8]
`env` on macOS, for now only when built with --disable-nls,
will no longer always set a __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING environment variable.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.8]
'nice' now limits the adjusted niceness value to its supported range on
GNU/Hurd.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
'numfmt' no longer reads out-of-bounds memory with trailing blanks in input.
[bug introduced with numfmt in coreutils-8.21]
'numfmt' no longer outputs invalid characters with multi-byte blanks in input.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.5]
'rm -d DIR' no longer fails on Ceph snapshot directories.
Although these directories are nonempty, 'rmdir DIR' succeeds on them.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.16]
'sort --compress-program' now diagnoses if it can't write more data to an
exited compressor. Previously sort could have exited silently in this case.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.8]
'tail' outputs the correct number of lines again for non-small -n values.
Previously it may have output too few lines.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.8]
'unexpand' no longer triggers a heap buffer overflow with --tabs arguments
that use the GNU extension /NUM or +NUM formats.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.28]
Changes in behavior
'cp' with default options may again, like with versions before v9.8,
miss opportunities to create holes with file systems that support
SEEK_HOLE only trivially. This change is a consequence of the
abovementioned copy offload fix.
'sort --compress-program' will continue without compressing temporary files
if the specified program cannot be executed. Also malformed shell scripts
without a "shebang line" will no longer be executed.
New Features
'numfmt' now accepts the --unit-separator=SEP option, to output or accept
a separator between the number and unit. For e.g. "1234 M".
Improvements
'fmt', 'date', 'nl', and 'pr' will now exit promptly upon receiving a write
error, which is significant when reading large / unbounded inputs.
install, sort, and split now use posix_spawn() to invoke child programs more
efficiently and more independently from their own memory usage.
'numfmt':
- parses numbers with a non-breaking space character before a unit
- parses numbers containing grouping characters from the current locale
- supports a multi-byte --delimiter character
- no longer processes input indefinitely in the presence of write errors
wc -l now operates 10% faster on hosts that support AVX512 instructions.
Build-related
chcon and runcon are not built by default if selinux headers are not present,
or if the --without-selinux configure option is specified.
This can be overridden with the --with-selinux configure option.
nproc no longer fails to build with Android API level <= 20.
