    Pádraig Brady has announced
    GNU Core Utilities (coreutils) version 9.12. "There have been 288 commits by
    16 people in the 21 weeks since 9.11". New features include an -A
    option for uname
    which labels all output, as well as adding awareness of the failfs and nullfs filesystem types to stat
    and tail.

    There are many bug fixes in this release as well, including one for a bug "present
    in 'the beginning'" that caused some utilities to fail when traversing hierarchies if files are being removed in parallel.
