📦 Highlights:

Security Hardening (Zellic audit)
A third-party security audit by [Zellic](https://github.com/Zellic/publications/blob/master/uutils%20coreutils%20-%20Zellic%20Audit%20Report.pdf) reviewed the codebase; the findings - widely reported as [44 CVEs](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1st3tl0/44cves_found_in_rust_coreutils_audit/) (see also the [Ubuntu update](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/an-update-on-rust-coreutils/80773) and the corrode write-up [*Bugs Rust won't catch*](https://corrode.dev/blog/bugs-rust-wont-catch/)) - were concentrated in TOCTOU races and filesystem edge cases that Rust's type system does not prevent
It's worth noting that many of these CVEs are not memory-safety issues but differences in behavior from GNU coreutils that the audit identified; aligning our semantics with GNU resolves them
This release closes many of them: a new TOCTOU-resistant `uucore::safe_copy` module; TOCTOU fixes in `cp`, `mv`, and `chmod` recursive traversal; `rm` dot/dotdot path-parsing protection; `nohup.out` now created with mode `0600`; and `chroot` now resolves all ids before chrooting
Reducing `unsafe` & migrating to `rustix`
A sustained, project-wide push to shrink the `unsafe` surface: dozens of `unsafe` removals across utilities, tests, fuzz targets and `uucore` (`get_groups`, `make_fifo`, `build.rs`, and more)
Migration from `nix`/`libc` to `rustix` across `id`, `tr`, `timeout`, `sort`, `wc`, `tail`, `cp`, `who`, `factor`, and core process/IO paths

📦 Highlights:

GNU Compatibility & Upstream Collaboration
630 passing GNU tests, with 2 fewer failures than 0.7.0
Continued contributing tests and bug reports upstream to GNU coreutils, strengthening both projects
Our compatibility work regularly uncovers edge cases in GNU itself, leading to fixes on both sides
`nix` → `rustix` Migration
Replaced `nix` crate with `rustix` across cat, df, wc, tty, tsort, tail, touch, date, mkdir, and uucore
Reduced range of unsafe code in hostname, logname, who, and nice
`uucore`: uses `rustix` for `splice()`, restricted to Linux

0.0.30

github-actions[bot]·1y ago·March 8, 2025

GitHub

📦 📦 **Rust Coreutils 0.0.30 Release:**

We are excited to announce the release of Rust Coreutils 0.0.30!
---

📦 Highlights:

Improved Compatibility:
This release focused on compatibility with the upstream GNU Coreutils 9.6 release. This is why the number of passing tests didn't change much - our effort was directed at adapting to the new upstream version rather than fixing existing test failures.
Passing GNU tests increased to 507 (+1 compared to 0.0.29).
Contributions: This release was made possible by the dedication of 22 contributors, including 8 newcomers.
We also announced at FOSDEM the extension of this project to cover other key Linux tools through our uutils initiative. This will extend the Rust rewrite effort to additional common Unix tools. See the presentation on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXf31nFPo0U) ([slides](https://sylvestre.ledru.info/coreutils-fosdem-2025/)) or read the [LWN article](https://lwn.net/Articles/1007907/) for more details about our vision.
---

🧪 GNU Test Suite Compatibility:

Here's how version 0.0.30 compares to the previous release:
| Result | 0.0.29 | 0.0.30 | Change 0.0.29 to 0.0.30 | % Total 0.0.29 | % Total 0.0.30 | % Change 0.0.29 to 0.0.30 |
|---------------|--------|--------|-------------------------|----------------|----------------|--------------------------|
| Pass | 506 | 507 | +1 | 82.38% | 82.17% | -0.21% |
| Skip | 41 | 41 | 0 | 6.68% | 6.65% | -0.03% |
| Fail | 67 | 69 | +2 | 10.92% | 11.18% | +0.26% |
| Total | 614 | 617 | +3 (new tests) | | | |
