Rust Coreutils 0.7 Brings Broad Performance Optimizations
Rust Coreutils 0.7 is a performance-focused release that speeds up dozens of utilities with faster hash maps, ASCII fast paths, and reduced malloc allocations, while refactoring unsafe Rust code for safer abstractions; GNU Test Suite compatibility sits at 94.5% after adding 19 new tests from GNU Coreutils 9.10, with more tests causing increased skips and failures; the update also includes build fixes for NetBSD and PowerPC and is available on GitHub.
