GNU coreutils 9 is released
5 by pixelbeat__ | 0 comments on Hacker News.
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 - Other digest tunings remain delegated to libcrypto - 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.
