* Noteworthy changes in release 8.32 (2020-03-05) [stable]
* * Bug fixes
cp now copies /dev/fd/N correctly on platforms like Solaris where
it is a character-special file whose minor device number is N.
[bug introduced in fileutils-4.1.6]
dd conv=fdatasync no longer reports a "Bad file descriptor" error
when fdatasync is interrupted, and dd now retries interrupted calls
to close, fdatasync, fstat and fsync instead of incorrectly
reporting an "Interrupted system call" error.
[bugs introduced in coreutils-6.0]
df now correctly parses the /proc/self/mountinfo file for unusual entries
like ones with '\r' in a field value ("mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /foo$'\r'bar"),
when the source field is empty ('mount -t tmpfs "" /mnt'), and when the
filesystem type contains characters like a blank which need escaping.
[bugs introduced in coreutils-8.24 with the introduction of reading
the /proc/self/mountinfo file]
factor again outputs immediately when stdout is a tty but stdin is not.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]
ln works again on old systems without O_DIRECTORY support (like Solaris 10),
and on systems where symlink ("x", ".") fails with errno == EINVAL
(like Solaris 10 and Solaris 11).
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.31]
rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty now works correctly for directories
that fail to be removed due to permission issues. Previously the exit status
was reversed, failing for non empty and succeeding for empty directories.
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.11]
'shuf -r -n 0 file' no longer mistakenly reads from standard input.
[bug introduced with the --repeat feature in coreutils-8.22]
split no longer reports a "output file suffixes exhausted" error
when the specified number of files is evenly divisible by 10, 16, 26,
for --numeric, --hex, or default alphabetic suffixes respectively.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]
seq no longer prints an extra line under certain circumstances (such as
'seq -f "%g " 1000000 1000000').
[bug introduced in coreutils-6.10]
* * Changes in behavior
Several programs now check that numbers end properly. For example,
'du -d 1x' now reports an error instead of silently ignoring the 'x'.
Affected programs and options include du -d, expr's numeric operands
on non-GMP builds, install -g and -o, ls's TABSIZE environment
variable, mknod b and c, ptx -g and -w, shuf -n, and sort --batch-size
and --parallel.
date now parses military time zones in accordance with common usage:
"A" to "M" are equivalent to UTC+1 to UTC+12
"N" to "Y" are equivalent to UTC-1 to UTC-12
"Z" is "zulu" time (UTC).
For example, 'date -d "09:00B" is now equivalent to 9am in UTC+2 time zone.
Previously, military time zones were parsed according to the obsolete
rfc822, with their value negated (e.g., "B" was equivalent to UTC-2).
[The old behavior was introduced in sh-utils 2.0.15 ca. 1999, predating
coreutils package.]
ls issues an error message on a removed directory, on GNU/Linux systems.
Previously no error and no entries were output, and so indistinguishable
from an empty directory, with default ls options.
uniq no longer uses strcoll() to determine string equivalence,
and so will operate more efficiently and consistently.
* * New Features
ls now supports the --time=birth option to display and sort by
file creation time, where available.
od --skip-bytes now can use lseek even if the input is not a regular
file, greatly improving performance in some cases.
stat(1) supports a new --cached= option, used on systems with statx(2)
to control cache coherency of file system attributes,
useful on network file systems.
* * Improvements
stat and ls now use the statx() system call where available, which can
operate more efficiently by only retrieving requested attributes.
stat and tail now know about the "binderfs", "dma-buf-fs", "erofs",
"ppc-cmm-fs", and "z3fold" file systems.
stat -f -c%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f uses inotify.

- Update to 8.31:
* Noteworthy changes in release 8.31 (2019-03-10) [stable]
* * Bug fixes
'base64 a b' now correctly diagnoses 'b' as the extra operand, not 'a'.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
When B already exists, 'cp -il A B' no longer immediately fails
after asking the user whether to proceed.
[This bug was present in "the beginning".]
df no longer corrupts displayed multibyte characters on macOS.
[bug introduced with coreutils-8.18]
seq no longer outputs inconsistent decimal point characters
for the last number, when locales are misconfigured.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.0]
shred, sort, and split no longer falsely report ftruncate errors
when outputting to less-common file types. For example, the shell
command 'sort /dev/null -o /dev/stdout | cat' no longer fails with
an "error truncating" diagnostic.
[bug was introduced with coreutils-8.18 for sort and split, and
(for shared memory objects only) with fileutils-4.1 for shred]
sync no longer fails for write-only file arguments.
[bug introduced with argument support to sync in coreutils-8.24]
'tail -f file | filter' no longer exits immediately on AIX.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.28]
'tail -f file | filter' no longer goes into an infinite loop
if filter exits and SIGPIPE is ignored.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.28]
* * Changes in behavior
cksum, dd, hostid, hostname, link, logname, sleep, tsort, unlink,
uptime, users, whoami, yes: now always process --help and --version options,
regardless of any other arguments present before any optional '--'
end-of-options marker.
nohup now processes --help and --version as first options even if other
parameters follow.
'yes a -- b' now outputs 'a b' instead of including the end-of-options
marker as before: 'a -- b'.
echo now always processes backslash escapes when the POSIXLY_CORRECT
environment variable is set.
When possible 'ln A B' now merely links A to B and reports an error
if this fails, instead of statting A and B before linking. This
uses fewer system calls and avoids some races. The old statting
approach is still used in situations where hard links to directories
are allowed (e.g., NetBSD when superuser).
ls --group-directories-first will also group symlinks to directories.
'test -a FILE' is not supported anymore. Long ago, there were concerns about
the high probability of humans confusing the -a primary with the -a binary
operator, so POSIX changed this to 'test -e FILE'. Scripts using it were
already broken and non-portable; the -a unary operator was never documented.
wc now treats non breaking space characters as word delimiters
unless the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is set.
* * New features
id now supports specifying multiple users.
'date' now supports the '+' conversion specification flag,
introduced in POSIX.1-2017.
printf, seq, sleep, tail, and timeout now accept floating point
numbers in either the current or the C locale. For example, if the
current locale's decimal point is ',', 'sleep 0,1' and 'sleep 0.1'
now mean the same thing. Previously, these commands accepted only
C-locale syntax with '.' as the decimal point. The new behavior is
more compatible with other implementations in non-C locales.
test now supports the '-N FILE' unary operator (like e.g. bash) to check
whether FILE exists and has been modified since it was last read.
env now supports '--default-signal[=SIG]', '--ignore-signal[=SIG]', and
'--block-signal[=SIG], to setup signal handling before executing a program.
env now supports '--list-signal-handling' to indicate non-default
signal handling before executing a program.
* * New commands
basenc is added to complement existing base64,base32 commands,
and encodes and decodes printable text using various common encodings:
base64,base64url,base32,base32hex,base16,base2,z85.
* * Improvements
ls -l now better aligns abbreviated months containing digits,
which is common in Asian locales.
stat and tail now know about the "sdcardfs" file system on Android.
stat -f -c%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f uses inotify.
stat now prints file creation time when supported by the file system,
on GNU Linux systems with glibc >= 2.28 and kernel >= 4.11.

- Update to 8.30:
* Noteworthy changes in release 8.30 (2018-07-01) [stable]
* * Bug fixes
'cp --symlink SRC DST' will again correctly validate DST.
If DST is a regular file and SRC is a symlink to DST,
then cp will no longer allow that operation to clobber DST.
Also with -d, if DST is a symlink, then it can always be replaced,
even if it points to SRC on a separate device.
[bugs introduced with coreutils-8.27]
'cp -n -u' and 'mv -n -u' now consistently ignore the -u option.
Previously, this option combination suffered from race conditions
that caused -u to sometimes override -n.
[bug introduced with coreutils-7.1]
'cp -a --no-preserve=mode' now sets appropriate default permissions
for non regular files like fifos and character device nodes etc.,
and leaves mode bits of existing files unchanged.
Previously it would have set executable bits on created special files,
and set mode bits for existing files as if they had been created.
[bug introduced with coreutils-8.20]
'cp --remove-destination file symlink' now removes the symlink
even if it can't be traversed.
[bug introduced with --remove-destination in fileutils-4.1.1]
ls no longer truncates the abbreviated month names that have a
display width between 6 and 12 inclusive. Previously this would have
output ambiguous months for Arabic or Catalan locales.
'ls -aA' is now equivalent to 'ls -A', since -A now overrides -a.
[bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0]
'mv -n A B' no longer suffers from a race condition that can
overwrite a simultaneously-created B. This bug fix requires
platform support for the renameat2 or renameatx_np syscalls, found
in recent Linux and macOS kernels. As a side effect, ‘mv -n A A’
now silently does nothing if A exists.
[bug introduced with coreutils-7.1]
* * Changes in behavior
'cp --force file symlink' now removes the symlink even if
it is self referential.
ls --color now matches file extensions case insensitively.
* * New features
cp --reflink now supports --reflink=never to enforce a standard copy.
env supports a new -v/--debug option to show verbose information about
each processing step.
env supports a new -S/--split-string=S option to split a single argument
string into multiple arguments. Used to pass multiple arguments in scripts
(shebang lines).
md5sum accepts a new option: --zero (-z) to delimit the output lines with a
NUL instead of a newline character. This also disables file name escaping.
This also applies to sha*sum and b2sum.
rm --preserve-root now supports the --preserve-root=all option to
reject any command line argument that is mounted to a separate file system.
* * Improvements
cut supports line lengths up to the max file size on 32 bit systems.
Previously only offsets up to SIZE_MAX-1 were supported.
stat and tail now know about the "exfs" file system, which is a
version of XFS. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file system type,
and tail -f uses inotify.
wc avoids redundant processing of ASCII text in multibyte locales,
which is especially significant on macOS.
* * Build-related
Adjust to glibc >= 2.28 (bsc#1182550, jsc#SLE-13520, jsc#SLE-13756)

* * Bug fixes
b2sum no longer crashes when processing certain truncated check files.
[bug introduced with b2sum coreutils-8.26]
dd now ensures the correct cache ranges are specified for the "nocache"
and "direct" flags. Previously some pages in the page cache were not
invalidated. [bug introduced for "direct" in coreutils-7.5,
and with the "nocache" implementation in coreutils-8.11]
df no longer hangs when given a fifo argument.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.3]
ptx -S no longer infloops for a pattern which returns zero-length matches.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
shred --remove will again repeatedly rename files with shortening names
to attempt to hide the original length of the file name.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.28]
stty no longer crashes when processing settings with -F also specified.
[bug introduced in fileutils-4.0]
tail --bytes again supports non seekable inputs on all systems.
On systems like android it always tried to process as seekable inputs.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]
timeout will again notice its managed command exiting, even when
invoked with blocked CHLD signal, or in a narrow window where
this CHLD signal from the exiting child was missed. In each case
timeout would have then waited for the time limit to expire.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.27]
* * New features
timeout now supports the --verbose option to diagnose forced termination.
* * Improvements
dd now supports iflag=direct with arbitrary sized files on all file systems.
tail --bytes=NUM will efficiently seek to the end of block devices,
rather than reading from the start.
Utilities which do not support long options (other than the default --help
and --version), e.g. cksum and sleep, now use more consistent error diagnostic
for unknown long options.
* * Build-related
Default man pages are now distributed which are used if perl is
not available on the build system, or when cross compiling.

source directory is specified multiple times. Now, consistent with other
file types, a warning is issued for source directories with duplicate names,
or with -H the directory is copied again using the symlink name.
* factor avoids writing partial lines, thus supporting parallel operation.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
* head, od, split, tac, tail, and wc no longer mishandle input from files in
/proc and /sys file systems that report somewhat-incorrect file sizes.
* mkdir --parents -Z now correctly sets the context for the last component,
even if the parent directory exists and has a different default context.
[bug introduced with the -Z restorecon functionality in coreutils-8.22]
* numfmt no longer outputs incorrect overflowed values seen with certain
large numbers, or with numbers with increased precision.
[bug introduced when numfmt was added in coreutils-8.21]
* numfmt now handles leading zeros correctly, not counting them when
settings processing limits, and making them optional with floating point.
[bug introduced when numfmt was added in coreutils-8.21]
* paste no longer truncates output for large input files. This would happen
for example with files larger than 4GiB on 32 bit systems with a '\n'
character at the 4GiB position.
[the bug dates back to the initial implementation]
* rm indicates the correct number of arguments in its confirmation prompt,
on all platforms. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
* shuf -i with a single redundant operand, would crash instead of issuing
a diagnostic. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.22]
* tail releases inotify resources when unused. Previously it could exhaust
resources with many files, or with -F if files were replaced many times.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* tail -f again follows changes to a file after it's renamed.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* tail --follow no longer misses changes to files if those files were
replaced before inotify watches were created.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* tail --follow consistently outputs all data for a truncated file.
[bug introduced in the beginning]
* tail --follow=name correctly outputs headers for multiple files
when those files are being created or renamed.
[bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
* * New features
* chroot accepts the new --skip-chdir option to not change the working directory
to "/" after changing into the chroot(2) jail, thus retaining the current wor-
king directory. The new option is only permitted if the new root directory is
the old "/", and therefore is useful with the --group and --userspec options.
* dd accepts a new status=progress level to print data transfer statistics
on stderr approximately every second.
* numfmt can now process multiple fields with field range specifications similar
to cut, and supports setting the output precision with the --format option.
* split accepts a new --separator option to select a record separator character
other than the default newline character.
* stty allows setting the "extproc" option where supported, which is
a useful setting with high latency links.
* sync no longer ignores arguments, and syncs each specified file, or with the
- -file-system option, the file systems associated with each specified file.
* tee accepts a new --output-error option to control operation with pipes
and output errors in general.
* * Changes in behavior
* df no longer suppresses separate exports of the same remote device, as
these are generally explicitly mounted. The --total option does still
suppress duplicate remote file systems.
[suppression was introduced in coreutils-8.21]
* mv no longer supports moving a file to a hardlink, instead issuing an error.
The implementation was susceptible to races in the presence of multiple mv
instances, which could result in both hardlinks being deleted. Also on case
insensitive file systems like HFS, mv would just remove a hardlinked 'file'
if called like `mv file File`. The feature was added in coreutils-5.0.1.
* numfmt --from-unit and --to-unit options now interpret suffixes as SI units,
and IEC (power of 2) units are now specified by appending 'i'.
* tee will exit early if there are no more writable outputs.
* tee does not treat the file operand '-' as meaning standard output any longer,
for better conformance to POSIX. This feature was added in coreutils-5.3.0.
* timeout --foreground no longer sends SIGCONT to the monitored process,
which was seen to cause intermittent issues with GDB for example.
* * Improvements
* cp,install,mv will convert smaller runs of NULs in the input to holes,
and cp --sparse=always avoids speculative preallocation on XFS for example.
* cp will read sparse files more efficiently when the destination is a
non regular file. For example when copying a disk image to a device node.
* mv will try a reflink before falling back to a standard copy, which is
more efficient when moving files across BTRFS subvolume boundaries.
* stat and tail now know about IBRIX. stat -f --format=%T now reports the file
system type, and tail -f uses polling for files on IBRIX file systems.
* wc -l processes short lines much more efficiently.
* References from --help and the man pages of utilities have been corrected
in various cases, and more direct links to the corresponding online
documentation are provided.

- coreutils-doc-adjust-reference-to-info-nodes-in-man-pages.patch:
add upstream patch:
doc: adjust reference to info nodes in man pages (boo#933396)
- coreutils-i18n.patch: Use a later version of the previous patch
to fix the sort I18N issue (boo#928749, CVE-2015-4041) to also
avoid CVE-2015-4042.

- Fix memory handling error with case insensitive sort using UTF-8
(boo#928749): coreutils-i18n.patch
src/sort.c (keycompare_mb): Ensure the buffer is big enough
to handle anything output from wctomb(). Theoretically any
input char could be converted to multiple output chars,
and so we need to multiply the storage by MB_CUR_MAX.
