This is a bug-fix-only release, and I think it deserves to be called a stable release, but will wait another week or so before making that classification official.
The GNU coreutils package contains the following programs: [ basename cat chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp csplit cut date dd df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr factor false fmt fold ginstall groups head hostid hostname id join kill link ln logname ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mv nice nl nohup od paste pathchk pinky pr printenv printf ptx pwd readlink rm rmdir seq sha1sum shred sleep sort split stat stty su sum sync tac tail tee test touch tr true tsort tty uname unexpand uniq unlink uptime users vdir wc who whoami yes The coreutils package replaces/unifies the fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.

Please report any build problems or test failures to the [email protected] mailing list. There are detailed instructions in the `Reporting bugs:' section of the README file. For further reading, see the coreutils home page http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ and the FAQ list: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/ ***************** NEWS ***************** * Major changes in release 5.91 (2005-10-17) [stable candidate] ** Bug fixes "mkdir -p /a/b/c" no longer fails merely because a leading prefix directory (e.g., /a or /a/b) exists on a read-only file system. ** Removed options tail's --allow-missing option has been removed. Use --retry instead. stat's --link and -l options have been removed. Use --dereference (-L) instead. ** Deprecated options Using ls, du, or df with the --kilobytes option now evokes a warning that the long-named option is deprecated. Use `-k' instead. du's long-named --megabytes option now evokes a warning. Use -m instead.
