directory; broken in 9.1. See https://bugs.gnu.org/55029
- update to 9.1:
* chmod -R no longer exits with error status when encountering symlinks.
All files would be processed correctly, but the exit status was incorrect.
* If 'cp -Z A B' checks B's status and some other process then removes B,
cp no longer creates B with a too-generous SELinux security context
before adjusting it to the correct value.
* 'cp --preserve=ownership A B' no longer ignores the umask when creating B.
Also, 'cp --preserve-xattr A B' is less likely to temporarily chmod u+w B.
* 'id xyz' now uses the name 'xyz' to determine groups, instead of xyz's uid.
* 'ls -v' and 'sort -V' no longer mishandle corner cases like "a..a" vs "a.+"
or lines containing NULs. Their behavior now matches the documentation
for file names like ".m4" that consist entirely of an extension,
and the documentation has been clarified for unusual cases.
* 'mv -T --backup=numbered A B/' no longer miscalculates the backup number
for B when A is a directory, possibly inflooping.
* cat now uses the copy_file_range syscall if available, when doing
simple copies between regular files. This may be more efficient, by avoiding
user space copies, and possibly employing copy offloading or reflinking.
* chown and chroot now warn about usages like "chown root.root f",
which have the nonstandard and long-obsolete "." separator that
causes problems on platforms where user names contain ".".
Applications should use ":" instead of ".".
* cksum no longer allows abbreviated algorithm names,
so that forward compatibility and robustness is improved.
* date +'%-N' now suppresses excess trailing digits, instead of always
padding them with zeros to 9 digits. It uses clock_getres and
clock_gettime to infer the clock resolution.

** Bug fixes
cp now copies /dev/fd/N correctly on platforms like Solaris where
it is a character-special file whose minor device number is N.
[bug introduced in fileutils-4.1.6]
dd conv=fdatasync no longer reports a "Bad file descriptor" error
when fdatasync is interrupted, and dd now retries interrupted calls
to close, fdatasync, fstat and fsync instead of incorrectly
reporting an "Interrupted system call" error.
[bugs introduced in coreutils-6.0]
df now correctly parses the /proc/self/mountinfo file for unusual entries
like ones with '\r' in a field value ("mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /foo$'\r'bar"),
when the source field is empty ('mount -t tmpfs "" /mnt'), and when the
filesystem type contains characters like a blank which need escaping.
[bugs introduced in coreutils-8.24 with the introduction of reading
the /proc/self/mountinfo file]
factor again outputs immediately when stdout is a tty but stdin is not.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]
ln works again on old systems without O_DIRECTORY support (like Solaris 10),
and on systems where symlink ("x", ".") fails with errno == EINVAL
(like Solaris 10 and Solaris 11).
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.31]
rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty now works correctly for directories
that fail to be removed due to permission issues. Previously the exit status
was reversed, failing for non empty and succeeding for empty directories.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.11]
'shuf -r -n 0 file' no longer mistakenly reads from standard input.
[bug introduced with the --repeat feature in coreutils-8.22]
split no longer reports a "output file suffixes exhausted" error
when the specified number of files is evenly divisible by 10, 16, 26,
for --numeric, --hex, or default alphabetic suffixes respectively.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]
seq no longer prints an extra line under certain circumstances (such as
'seq -f "%g " 1000000 1000000').
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.10]
** Changes in behavior
Several programs now check that numbers end properly. For example,
'du -d 1x' now reports an error instead of silently ignoring the 'x'.
Affected programs and options include du -d, expr's numeric operands
on non-GMP builds, install -g and -o, ls's TABSIZE environment
variable, mknod b and c, ptx -g and -w, shuf -n, and sort --batch-size
and --parallel.
date now parses military time zones in accordance with common usage:
"A" to "M" are equivalent to UTC+1 to UTC+12
"N" to "Y" are equivalent to UTC-1 to UTC-12
"Z" is "zulu" time (UTC).
For example, 'date -d "09:00B" is now equivalent to 9am in UTC+2 time zone.
Previously, military time zones were parsed according to the obsolete
rfc822, with their value negated (e.g., "B" was equivalent to UTC-2).
[The old behavior was introduced in sh-utils 2.0.15 ca. 1999, predating
coreutils package.]
ls issues an error message on a removed directory, on GNU/Linux systems.
Previously no error and no entries were output, and so indistinguishable
from an empty directory, with default ls options.
uniq no longer uses strcoll() to determine string equivalence,
and so will operate more efficiently and consistently.
** New Features
ls now supports the --time=birth option to display and sort by
file creation time, where available.
od --skip-bytes now can use lseek even if the input is not a regular
file, greatly improving performance in some cases.
stat(1) supports a new --cached= option, used on systems with statx(2)
to control cache coherency of file system attributes,
useful on network file systems.
** Improvements
stat and ls now use the statx() system call where available, which can
operate more efficiently by only retrieving requested attributes.
stat and tail now know about the "binderfs", "dma-buf-fs", "erofs",
"ppc-cmm-fs", and "z3fold" file systems.
stat -f -c%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f uses inotify.
** Build-related
gzip-compressed tarballs are distributed once again
