📦 Rust Coreutils 0.0.22 Release: We've got +11 more GNU tests passing than in our last release. This release also adds support for NetBSD and requires a minimum Rust version of 1.70. 🛠️ We are also collaborating more and more with the nushell team. Future versions of nushell will rely on the Rust Coreutils. 24 developers contributed to this release (11 new contributors started with this release).
