Rust Coreutils 0.7 Released With Many Performance Optimizations
Rust Coreutils 0.7 released on Sunday as a performance-focused update to this popular alternative to GNU Coreutils that is still striving for 100% compatibility against the GNU Test Suite.
Rust Coreutils 0.7 is a "performance-focused release" that is delivering on major optimizations across "dozens of utilities" while also working to address unsafe Rust code with safer abstractions and other enhancements.
On the GNU Test Suite compatibility front, Rust Coreutils 0.7 has increased its pass rate by another seven tests but also increasing the skip count by six and fail count by seven, thus dropping the overall pass rate from 96.2% to 94.5%. There were also 19 new tests from the new GNU Coreutils 9.10 release.
Rust Coreutils 0.7 brings faster hash maps, new ASCII fast paths, reducing malloc allocations for different commands, and more. Rust Coreutils 0.7 also has a number of fixes, build fixes for NetBSD and PowerPC, and more.
