Rust Coreutils 0.10 released
Version 0.10 of the uutils project's Rust Coreutils has been released. This release focused on compatibility with the GNU Core Utilities suite, with Rust Coreutils now passing 645 of 690 tests, up from 625 with version 0.9.0. Notable changes in this release include addition of the mv --exchange option, an OpenSSL backend for checksum utilities, applying SELinux labels at creation when using mkdir, mkfifo, and mknod, as well as a number of performance and security improvements. The project has an online playground that runs the Rust Coreutils directly in the browser via WebAssembly for those who would like to try the utilities without installing them. LWN covered the uutils project in February 2025.
