Rust Coreutils 0.0.29 Brings Improved Compatibility, New Performance Optimizations

([Programming] 6 Hours Ago uutils 0.0.29)


Following the release a few days ago of [1]GNU Coreutils 9.6 , the Rust Coreutils "uutils" project as a re-implementation of these core utilities within the Rust programming language is out with a fresh update.

The Rust Coreutils 0.0.29 release has increased its compatibility against GNU Coreutils with another 30 tests now passing... That brings it to 506 tests passing and 67 failing in comparison to the GNU Coreutils test suite. Rust Coreutils is getting there with closing in on full GNU test suite compatibility:

Among the commands now at "100% compatibility" with the GNU tests include chmod, chroot, comm, seq, split, uniq, df, and dircolors.

The Rust Coreutils 0.0.29 release also brings new performance optimizations for the du, echo, and seq utilities for delivering a nice "performance boost".

More details on the many changes in the Rust Coreutils uutils 0.0.29 release via [2]GitHub .

Dear Ms. Postnews:
I couldn't get mail through to somebody on another site. What
should I do?
-- Eager Beaver

Dear Eager:
No problem, just post your message to a group that a lot of people
read. Say, "This is for John Smith. I couldn't get mail through so I'm
posting it. All others please ignore."
This way tens of thousands of people will spend a few seconds scanning
over and ignoring your article, using up over 16 man-hours their collective
time, but you will be saved the terrible trouble of checking through usenet
maps or looking for alternate routes. Just think, if you couldn't distribute
your message to 9000 other computers, you might actually have to (gasp) call
directory assistance for 60 cents, or even phone the person. This can cost
as much as a few DOLLARS (!) for a 5 minute call!
And certainly it's better to spend 10 to 20 dollars of other people's
money distributing the message than for you to have to waste $9 on an
overnight letter, or even 25 cents on a stamp!
Don't forget. The world will end if your message doesn't get through,
so post it as many places as you can.
