GNU Core Utilities 9.0

Subject: coreutils-9.0 released [stable]
This is to announce coreutils-9.0, a stable release. This is a new major release, with these significant changes: - cp has changed how it handles data - enables CoW by default (through FICLONE ioctl), - uses copy offload where available (through copy_file_range), - detects holes differently (though SEEK_HOLE) - This also applies to mv and install. - utilities are more tuned to the hardware available - wc uses avx2 instructions to count lines - cksum uses pclmul instructions for --algorithm=crc - More amalgamation of utilities - cksum now supports the -a option to select any digest. - This is the preferred interface, rather than sha*sum etc. - This is similar to the amalgamation of encoding utilities introduced in the basenc command in v8.31. See the NEWS below for more details. Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify coreutils-9.0.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys DF6FD971306037D9 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.71 Automake 1.16.4 Gnulib v0.1-4937-g9aca7b673 Bison 3.7.4
