- Update to 9.5:
Bug fixes:
* chmod -R now avoids a race where an attacker may replace a traversed file
with a symlink, causing chmod to operate on an unintended file.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* cp, mv, and install no longer issue spurious diagnostics like "failed
to preserve ownership" when copying to GNU/Linux CIFS file systems.
They do this by working around some Linux CIFS bugs.
* cp --no-preserve=mode will correctly maintain set-group-ID bits
for created directories. Previously on systems that didn't support ACLs,
cp would have reset the set-group-ID bit on created directories.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
* join and uniq now support multi-byte characters better.
For example, 'join -tX' now works even if X is a multi-byte character,
and both programs now treat multi-byte characters like U+3000
IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE as blanks if the current locale treats them so.
* numfmt options like --suffix no longer have an arbitrary 127-byte limit.
[bug introduced with numfmt in coreutils-8.21]
* mktemp with --suffix now better diagnoses templates with too few X's.
Previously it conflated the insignificant --suffix in the error.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.1]
* sort again handles thousands grouping characters in single-byte locales
where the grouping character is greater than CHAR_MAX. For e.g. signed
character platforms with a 0xA0 (aka  ) grouping character.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.1]
* split --line-bytes with a mixture of very long and short lines
no longer overwrites the heap (CVE-2024-0684).
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
* tail no longer mishandles input from files in /proc and /sys file systems,
on systems with a page size larger than the stdio BUFSIZ.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* timeout avoids a narrow race condition, where it might kill arbitrary
processes after a failed process fork.
[bug introduced with timeout in coreutils-7.0]
* timeout avoids a narrow race condition, where it might fail to
kill monitored processes immediately after forking them.
[bug introduced with timeout in coreutils-7.0]
* wc no longer fails to count unprintable characters as parts of words.
[bug introduced in textutils-2.1]
Changes in behavior:
* base32 and base64 no longer require padding when decoding.
Previously an error was given for non padded encoded data.
* base32 and base64 have improved detection of corrupted encodings.
Previously encodings with non zero padding bits were accepted.
* basenc --base16 -d now supports lower case hexadecimal characters.
Previously an error was given for lower case hex digits.
* cp --no-clobber, and mv -n no longer exit with failure status if
existing files are encountered in the destination. Instead they revert
to the behavior from before v9.2, silently skipping existing files.
* ls --dired now implies long format output without hyperlinks enabled,
and will take precedence over previously specified formats or hyperlink
mode.
* numfmt will accept lowercase 'k' to indicate Kilo or Kibi units on input,
and uses lowercase 'k' when outputting such units in '--to=si' mode.
* pinky no longer tries to canonicalize the user's login location by default,
rather requiring the new --lookup option to enable this often slow feature.
* wc no longer ignores encoding errors when counting words.
Instead, it treats them as non white space.
New features:
* chgrp now accepts the --from=OWNER:GROUP option to restrict changes to files
with matching current OWNER and/or GROUP, as already supported by chown(1).
* chmod adds support for -h, -H,-L,-P, and --dereference options, providing
more control over symlink handling. This supports more secure handling of
CLI arguments, and is more consistent with chown, and chmod on other
systems.
* cp now accepts the --keep-directory-symlink option (like tar), to preserve
and follow existing symlinks to directories in the destination.
* cp and mv now accept the --update=none-fail option, which is similar
to the --no-clobber option, except that existing files are diagnosed,
and the command exits with failure status if existing files.
The -n,--no-clobber option is best avoided due to platform differences.
* env now accepts the -a,--argv0 option to override the zeroth argument
of the command being executed.
* mv now accepts an --exchange option, which causes the source and
destination to be exchanged. It should be combined with
--no-target-directory (-T) if the destination is a directory.
The exchange is atomic if source and destination are on a single
file system that supports atomic exchange; --exchange is not yet
supported in other situations.
* od now supports printing IEEE half precision floating point with -t fH,
or brain 16 bit floating point with -t fB, where supported by the compiler.
* tail now supports following multiple processes, with repeated --pid options.
Improvements:
* cp,mv,install,cat,split now read and write a minimum of 256KiB at a time.
This was previously 128KiB and increasing to 256KiB was seen to increase
throughput by 10-20% when reading cached files on modern systems.
* env,kill,timeout now support unnamed signals. kill(1) for example now
supports sending such signals, and env(1) will list them appropriately.
* SELinux operations in file copy operations are now more efficient,
avoiding unneeded MCS/MLS label translation.
* sort no longer dynamically links to libcrypto unless -R is used.
This decreases startup overhead in the typical case.
* wc is now much faster in single-byte locales and somewhat faster in
multi-byte locales.
- coreutils-9.4.split-CVE-2024-0684.patch: Remove now-upstream patch.
- gnulib-readutmp-under-gdm.patch: Likewise.
- gnulib-readutmp.patch: Likewise.
- coreutils-i18n.patch: Remove multi-byte patches for join and uniq, as the
upstream version now handles those tests.
Pull in gnulib module mbchar manually, as it is a dependency of mbfile,
but dropped out of the upstream dependency chain.
- coreutils-misc.patch: Remove change for gnulib-tests/test-isnanl.h.
- coreutils-fix-gnulib-time_r-tests.patch: Add upstream gnulib patch to skip
French test if TZ='Europe/Paris' does not work.

- update to 9.3:
Bug fixes:
* cp --reflink=auto (the default), mv, and install
will again fall back to a standard copy in more cases.
Previously copies could fail with permission errors on
more restricted systems like android or containers etc.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
* cp --recursive --backup will again operate correctly.
Previousy it may have issued "File exists" errors when
it failed to appropriately rename files being replaced.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
* date --file and dircolors will now diagnose a failure to read a file.
Previously they would have silently ignored the failure.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* md5sum --check again correctly prints the status of each file checked.
Previously the status for files was printed as 'OK' once any file had passed.
This also applies to cksum, sha*sum, and b2sum.
[bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
* wc will now diagnose if any total counts have overflowed.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
* `wc -c` will again correctly update the read offset of inputs.
Previously it deduced the size of inputs while leaving the offset unchanged.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.27]
* Coreutils programs no longer fail for timestamps past the year 2038
on obsolete configurations with 32-bit signed time_t, because the
build procedure now rejects these configurations.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
Changes in behavior:
* 'cp -n' and 'mv -n' now issue an error diagnostic if skipping a file,
to correspond with -n inducing a nonzero exit status as of coreutils 9.2.
Similarly 'cp -v' and 'mv -v' will output a message for each file skipped
due to -n, -i, or -u.
New features:
* cp and mv now support --update=none to always skip existing files
in the destination, while not affecting the exit status.
This is equivalent to the --no-clobber behavior from before v9.2.
- drop fix-reflink-fallback.patch (upstream).
- add coreutils-tests-skip-cpuinfo-replaced.patch: avoid FP test failure.

- Update to 8.24:
** Bug fixes
* dd supports more robust SIGINFO/SIGUSR1 handling for outputting statistics.
Previously those signals may have inadvertently terminated the process.
* df --local no longer hangs with inaccessible remote mounts.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.21]
* du now silently ignores all directory cycles due to bind mounts.
Previously it would issue a warning and exit with a failure status.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.1 and partially fixed in coreutils-8.23]
* chroot again calls chroot(DIR) and chdir("/"), even if DIR is "/".
This handles separate bind mounted "/" trees, and environments
depending on the implicit chdir("/").
[bugs introduced in coreutils-8.23]
* cp no longer issues an incorrect warning about directory hardlinks when a
source directory is specified multiple times. Now, consistent with other
file types, a warning is issued for source directories with duplicate names,
or with -H the directory is copied again using the symlink name.
* factor avoids writing partial lines, thus supporting parallel operation.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
* head, od, split, tac, tail, and wc no longer mishandle input from files in
/proc and /sys file systems that report somewhat-incorrect file sizes.
* mkdir --parents -Z now correctly sets the context for the last component,
even if the parent directory exists and has a different default context.
[bug introduced with the -Z restorecon functionality in coreutils-8.22]
* numfmt no longer outputs incorrect overflowed values seen with certain
large numbers, or with numbers with increased precision.
[bug introduced when numfmt was added in coreutils-8.21]
* numfmt now handles leading zeros correctly, not counting them when
settings processing limits, and making them optional with floating point.
[bug introduced when numfmt was added in coreutils-8.21]
* paste no longer truncates output for large input files. This would happen
for example with files larger than 4GiB on 32 bit systems with a '\n'
character at the 4GiB position.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
* rm indicates the correct number of arguments in its confirmation prompt,
on all platforms. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
* shuf -i with a single redundant operand, would crash instead of issuing
a diagnostic. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
* tail releases inotify resources when unused. Previously it could exhaust
resources with many files, or with -F if files were replaced many times.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* tail -f again follows changes to a file after it's renamed.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* tail --follow no longer misses changes to files if those files were
replaced before inotify watches were created.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* tail --follow consistently outputs all data for a truncated file.
[bug introduced in the beginning]
* tail --follow=name correctly outputs headers for multiple files
when those files are being created or renamed.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
** New features
* chroot accepts the new --skip-chdir option to not change the working directory
to "/" after changing into the chroot(2) jail, thus retaining the current wor-
king directory. The new option is only permitted if the new root directory is
the old "/", and therefore is useful with the --group and --userspec options.
* dd accepts a new status=progress level to print data transfer statistics
on stderr approximately every second.
* numfmt can now process multiple fields with field range specifications similar
to cut, and supports setting the output precision with the --format option.
* split accepts a new --separator option to select a record separator character
other than the default newline character.
* stty allows setting the "extproc" option where supported, which is
a useful setting with high latency links.
* sync no longer ignores arguments, and syncs each specified file, or with the
--file-system option, the file systems associated with each specified file.
* tee accepts a new --output-error option to control operation with pipes
and output errors in general.
** Changes in behavior
* df no longer suppresses separate exports of the same remote device, as
these are generally explicitly mounted. The --total option does still
suppress duplicate remote file systems.
[suppression was introduced in coreutils-8.21]
* mv no longer supports moving a file to a hardlink, instead issuing an error.
The implementation was susceptible to races in the presence of multiple mv
instances, which could result in both hardlinks being deleted. Also on case
insensitive file systems like HFS, mv would just remove a hardlinked 'file'
if called like `mv file File`. The feature was added in coreutils-5.0.1.
* numfmt --from-unit and --to-unit options now interpret suffixes as SI units,
and IEC (power of 2) units are now specified by appending 'i'.
* tee will exit early if there are no more writable outputs.
* tee does not treat the file operand '-' as meaning standard output any longer,
for better conformance to POSIX. This feature was added in coreutils-5.3.0.
* timeout --foreground no longer sends SIGCONT to the monitored process,
which was seen to cause intermittent issues with GDB for example.
** Improvements
* cp,install,mv will convert smaller runs of NULs in the input to holes,
and cp --sparse=always avoids speculative preallocation on XFS for example.
* cp will read sparse files more efficiently when the destination is a
non regular file. For example when copying a disk image to a device node.
* mv will try a reflink before falling back to a standard copy, which is
more efficient when moving files across BTRFS subvolume boundaries.
* stat and tail now know about IBRIX. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file
system type, and tail -f uses polling for files on IBRIX file systems.
* wc -l processes short lines much more efficiently.
* References from --help and the man pages of utilities have been corrected
in various cases, and more direct links to the corresponding online
documentation are provided.

- Update to 8.16:
- Improvements:
* As a GNU extension, 'chmod', 'mkdir', and 'install' now accept
operators '-', '+', '=' followed by octal modes;
* Also, ordinary numeric modes with five or more digits no longer
preserve setuid and setgid bits, so that 'chmod 00755 FOO' now
clears FOO's setuid and setgid bits.
* dd now accepts the count_bytes, skip_bytes iflags and the
seek_bytes oflag, to more easily allow processing portions of a
file.
* dd now accepts the conv=sparse flag to attempt to create sparse
output, by seeking rather than writing to the output file.
* ln now accepts the --relative option, to generate a relative
symbolic link to a target, irrespective of how the target is
specified.
* split now accepts an optional "from" argument to
--numeric-suffixes, which changes the start number from the
default of 0.
* split now accepts the --additional-suffix option, to append an
additional static suffix to output file names.
* basename now supports the -a and -s options, which allow
processing of more than one argument at a time. Also the
complementary -z option was added to delimit output items with
the NUL character.
* dirname now supports more than one argument. Also the complementary
z option was added to delimit output items with the NUL character.
- Bug fixes
* du --one-file-system (-x) would ignore any non-directory
specified on the command line. For example, "touch f; du -x f"
would print nothing. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.15]
* mv now lets you move a symlink onto a same-inode destination
file that has two or more hard links.
* "mv A B" could succeed, yet A would remain.
* realpath no longer mishandles a root directory.
- Improvements
* ls can be much more efficient, especially with large directories
on file systems for which getfilecon-, ACL-check- and XATTR-
check-induced syscalls fail with ENOTSUP or similar.
* 'realpath --relative-base=dir' in isolation now implies
'--relative-to=dir' instead of causing a usage failure.
* split now supports an unlimited number of split files as default
behavior.
For a detaild list se NEWS in the documentation.
- Add up-to-date german translation.
- Add two upstream patches that speed up ls (bnc#752943):
* Cache (l)getfilecon calls to avoid the vast majority of the failing
underlying getxattr syscalls.
* Avoids always-failing queries for whether a file has a nontrivial
ACL and for whether a file has certain "capabilities".

- Update to 8.14. Changes since 8.12:
Bug fixes:
- ls --dereference no longer outputs erroneous "argetm" strings for
dangling symlinks when an 'ln=target' entry is in $LS_COLORS.
[bug introduced in fileutils-4.0]
- ls -lL symlink once again properly prints "+" when the referent has
an ACL. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.13]
- sort -g no longer infloops for certain inputs containing NaNs [bug
introduced in coreutils-8.5]
- chown and chgrp with the -v --from= options, now output the correct
owner. I.E. for skipped files, the original ownership is output,
not the new one. [bug introduced in sh-utils-2.0g]
- cp -r could mistakenly change the permissions of an existing
destination directory. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.8]
- cp -u -p would fail to preserve one hard link for each up-to-date
copy of a src-hard-linked name in the destination tree. I.e., if
s/a and s/b are hard-linked and dst/s/a is up to date, "cp -up s
dst" would copy s/b to dst/s/b rather than simply linking dst/s/b
to dst/s/a. [This bug appears to have been present in "the
beginning".]
- fts-using tools (rm, du, chmod, chgrp, chown, chcon) no longer use
memory proportional to the number of entries in each directory they
process. Before, rm -rf 4-million-entry-directory would consume
about 1GiB of memory. Now, it uses less than 30MB, no matter how
many entries there are. [this bug was inherent in the use of fts:
thus, for rm the bug was introduced in coreutils-8.0. The prior
implementation of rm did not use as much memory. du, chmod, chgrp
and chown started using fts in 6.0. chcon was added in
coreutils-6.9.91 with fts support. ]
- pr -T no longer ignores a specified LAST_PAGE to stop at. [bug
introduced in textutils-1.19q]
- printf '%d' '"' no longer accesses out-of-bounds memory in the
diagnostic. [bug introduced in sh-utils-1.16]
- split --number l/... no longer creates extraneous files in certain
cases. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.8]
- timeout now sends signals to commands that create their own process
group. timeout is no longer confused when starting off with a
child process. [bugs introduced in coreutils-7.0]
- unexpand -a now aligns correctly when there are spaces spanning a
tabstop, followed by a tab. In that case a space was dropped,
causing misalignment. We also now ensure that a space never
precedes a tab. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
New features:
- date now accepts ISO 8601 date-time strings with "T" as the
separator. It has long parsed dates like "2004-02-29 16:21:42"
with a space between the date and time strings. Now it also parses
"2004-02-29T16:21:42" and fractional-second and time-zone-annotated
variants like "2004-02-29T16:21:42.333-07:00"
- md5sum accepts the new --strict option. With --check, it makes the
tool exit non-zero for any invalid input line, rather than just warning.
This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.
- split accepts a new --filter=CMD option. With it, split filters
output through CMD. CMD may use the $FILE environment variable,
which is set to the nominal output file name for each invocation of
CMD. For example, to split a file into 3 approximately equal
parts, which are then compressed:
split -n3 --filter='xz > $FILE.xz' big
Note the use of single quotes, not double quotes. That creates
files named xaa.xz, xab.xz and xac.xz.
- timeout accepts a new --foreground option, to support commands not
started directly from a shell prompt, where the command is
interactive or needs to receive signals initiated from the
terminal.
Improvements:
- md5sum --check now supports the -r format from the corresponding
BSD tool. This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and
sha512sum.
- pwd now works also on systems without openat. On such systems, pwd
would fail when run from a directory whose absolute name contained
more than PATH_MAX / 3 components. The df, stat and readlink
programs are also affected due to their use of the canonicalize_*
functions.
- join --check-order now prints "join: FILE:LINE_NUMBER: bad_line"
for an unsorted input, rather than e.g., "join: file 1 is not in
sorted order".
- shuf outputs small subsets of large permutations much more
efficiently. For example `shuf -i1-$((2**32-1)) -n2` no longer
exhausts memory.
- stat -f now recognizes the GPFS, MQUEUE and PSTOREFS file system
types.
- timeout now supports sub-second timeouts.
Changes in behavior:
- chmod, chown and chgrp now output the original attributes in
messages, when -v or -c specified.
- cp -au (where --preserve=links is implicit) may now replace newer
files in the destination, to mirror hard links from the source.

- Update to 8.8. Changes since 8.6:
** Bug fixes cp -u no longer does unnecessary copying merely because the source has finer-grained time stamps than the destination. od now prints floating-point numbers without losing information, and it no longer omits spaces between floating-point columns in some cases. sort -u with at least two threads could attempt to read through a corrupted pointer. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] sort with at least two threads and with blocked output would busy-loop (spinlock) all threads, often using 100% of available CPU cycles to do no work. I.e., "sort < big-file | less" could waste a lot of power. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] sort with at least two threads no longer segfaults due to use of pointers into the stack of an expired thread. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] sort --compress no longer mishandles subprocesses' exit statuses, no longer hangs indefinitely due to a bug in waiting for subprocesses, and no longer generates many more than NMERGE subprocesses. sort -m -o f f ... f no longer dumps core when file descriptors are limited. csplit no longer corrupts heap when writing more than 999 files, nor does it leak memory for every chunk of input processed [the bugs were present in the initial implementation] tail -F once again notices changes in a currently unavailable remote directory [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5] ** Changes in behavior sort will not create more than 8 threads by default due to diminishing performance gains. Also the --parallel option is no longer restricted to the number of available processors. cp --attributes-only now completely overrides --reflink. Previously a reflink was needlessly attempted.
