coreutils-6.9.91 released (bug-fix-only)


Coreutils version 6.9.91 has been released.
This is a bug-fix-only release.
There has been unusually few reports of problems with
the previous release.  I hope this is a trend.

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

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release.
For a summary of changes and contributors, see here:

Here are the compressed sources:
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.gz   (8.7MB)
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.lzma (3.6MB)

Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.gz.sig
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.9.91.tar.lzma.sig

If you haven't heard about LZMA yet, see <http://tukaani.org/lzma/>.
Since the lzma-compressed tarball is 2MB smaller than the .bz2 one,
and since it decompresses twice as fast, I no longer create bzip2-
compressed tarballs.

[*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that
the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact.  First,
be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball.
Then, run a command like this:
