Following yesterday's release of Rust Coreutils 0.4 , GNU Coreutils 9.9 is now available as the latest update to this set of core utilities common to Linux systems and other platforms.

GNU Coreutils 9.9 is primarily about shipping various bug fixes compared to Coreutils 9.8 and prior. Among the fixes were addressing a performance issue with the cp command for transparently compressed files with at least the OpenZFS file-system.

There are also other minor fixes, numfmt now accepts the --unit-separator=SEP option, better handling for different utilities when hitting different errors, install / sort / split now using posix_spawn(), and a few build updates.
