Here's a snapshot of the latest sources, both from coreutils and from gnulib. In coreutils proper, the only real news is the addition of two new programs, timeout and truncate, and the addition of the --quiet option for md5sum & co. However, in gnulib, Bruno Haible added comprehensive ACL support, so if you care about that (or just want to see if things still work on your favorite combination of OS and file system type), please give this a try.
If you want to help out specifically on the ACL-testing front, here's Bruno's call for testing, with detailed instructions: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/13837 coreutils snapshot: http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz 8.7 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma 3.7 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz.sig http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma.sig aka http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.12.29-a16be.tar.gz http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.12.29-a16be.tar.lzma Changes in coreutils-proper (not gnulib) since v6.12: Bo Borgerson (1): standardize some error messages Bruno Haible (1): * NEWS (Improvements): Mention improved (via gnulib) ACL support.
