coreutils-6.11 released

Coreutils version 6.11 has been released.  This is a stable release.

Since 6.10, there have been 200 change sets in coreutils proper and almost
300 in gnulib (most of the files in coreutils/{lib,m4} come from gnulib).

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release.
This time, a trio from Stanford, Cristian Cadar, Daniel Dunbar and
Dawson Engler deserve special thanks for discovering an amazing number
of bugs (usually segfault-inducing), one in each of the following tools:
pr, md5sum (also affecting sha*sum), mknod, mkfifo, mkdir, paste and ptx.

coreutils-6.10 released (stable)

Coreutils version 6.10 has been released.  This is a stable release.

Since the previous stable release, 6.9, there have been three test
releases: 6.9.90,91,92 and almost 500 change sets in coreutils proper.
That doesn't include the 1100+ change sets in gnulib (most of the
files in coreutils/{lib,m4} come from gnulib).

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release.
For a summary of changes and contributors, see:
  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=shortlog;h=v6.10

Coreutils version 6.9.91 has been released.

coreutils-6.9.90 released

Coreutils version 6.9.90 has been released.
This is a feature release, but it includes a surprising number
of fixes for very old bugs.

If you haven't heard about the GNU coreutils, the FAQ is a good
place to start: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/>.

It's been more than 8 months and almost 450 change-sets since the
previous release, which was the stable coreutils-6.9, on 2007-03-22.
Like coreutils-6.8, I consider this a not-unstable release.  I can't in
good conscience call it stable, because there have been so many changes
and not enough exposure, yet I have a lot of confidence that the programs
are consistently improved over the ones in coreutils-6.9.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release.  Here's the list
of 'commit author' names and commit counts, excluding mine.  If you sent
in a complete patch since 6.9, and I applied it with few or no changes,
then your name should be here:

     28 Paul Eggert
     10 Eric Blake
      5 Bob Proulx

coreutils-6.9 released [stable]


Coreutils version 6.9 has been released.
This is a stable, bug-fix-only release.

If you haven't heard about the GNU coreutils, the FAQ is a good
place to start: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/>.

The previous stable release was 6.7, on Dec 8, 2006.
Then there was a nearly-stable 6.8 release on Feb 24, 2007.
Since 6.8 was a test release, I've included its NEWS entries
below, along with the few for 6.9.

Thanks to all of the people who have contributed patches, suggestions,
and bug reports.  Their names are listed in the ChangeLog files.
A lot of coreutils' portability infrastructure comes from gnulib,
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib>, so ChangeLog entries for the
vast majority of files in lib/ and m4/ are no longer included here.

P.S., I'm considering no longer distributing .xdelta difference files.
If you use those files, please send a message to the bug-coreutils
mailing list.

coreutils-6.8 released (not-unstable test release)

Coreutils version 6.8 has been released.

If you haven't heard about the GNU coreutils, the FAQ is a good
place to start: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/

This is mostly a bug-fix release, but with a significant
batch of infrastructure changes coming in through gnulib.
Since some of those changes are so new, I've labeled this a
test release, but as the subject implies, I believe this
release is better than "unstable".

and bug reports.  Their names are listed in the ChangeLog files.

coreutils-6.6 released [stable. Yes, really, this time.]

The version of ls in coreutils-6.5 had a serious bug.  For example,
"ls -l" would segfault when processing a file whose numeric user ID
or group ID has no associated name.

As usual, details are in the ChangeLog files, but note that for
changes in Gnulib-owned files (as most were, this time), the ChangeLog
files are not part of this distribution. See Gnulib for those:
