📦 Rust Coreutils 0.0.25 Release:

We're thrilled to announce version 0.0.25. We added +15 GNU passing tests since our last update!
More and more programs have a full compatibility with the GNU testsuite.
The current list is: base64, basename, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, dirname, expand, fold, groups, join, ln, mktemp, nice, nl, nproc, paste, pathchk, printenv, realpath, shuf, sleep, split, sync, unexpand, uniq, wc and yes.

This release saw contributions from 31 developers, including 14 newcomers.

Some of this work has been supported by the Sovereign Tech Fund.
