While the Rust Coreutils project has been generating a lot of interest recently from the uutils initiative, the upstream GNU Coreutils project isn't slowing down and today is out with GNU Coreutils 9.8 for shipping the newest features.

The GNU Coreutils 9.8 release adds SHA3 hashing support to the cksum utility, the nproc utility now respects cgroup v2 configured CPU quotas, the fold utility is now multi-byte character aware, Base58 encoding support with the baseenc command, and other updates.

- SHA3 hashing with `cksum -a sha3`
- nproc now honors Linux cgroup v2 configured CPU quotas
- fold is now multi-byte character aware
- Base58 encoding with `basenc --base58`
- stty can set arbitrary baud rates on supported systems
