Comment (by Bruce Dubbs):

 GNU coreutils

 * Noteworthy changes in release 9.7 (2025-04-09) [stable]

 * Bug fixes

   'cat' would fail with "input file is output file" if input and
   output are the same terminal device and the output is append-only.
   [bug introduced in coreutils-9.6]

   'cksum -a crc' misbehaved on aarch64 with 32-bit uint_fast32_t.
   [bug introduced in coreutils-9.6]

   dd with the 'nocache' flag will now detect all failures to drop the
   cache for the whole file.  Previously it may have erroneously succeeded.
   [bug introduced with the "nocache" feature in coreutils-8.11]

   'ls -Z dir' would crash on all systems, and 'ls -l' could crash
   on systems like Android with SELinux but without xattr support.
   [bug introduced in coreutils-9.6]

   `ls -l` could output spurious "Not supported" errors in certain cases,
   like with dangling symlinks on cygwin.
   [bug introduced in coreutils-9.6]

   timeout would fail to timeout commands with infinitesimal timeouts.
   For example `timeout 1e-5000 sleep inf` would never timeout.
   [bug introduced with timeout in coreutils-7.0]

   sleep, tail, and timeout would sometimes sleep for slightly less
   time than requested.
   [bug introduced in coreutils-5.0]

   'who -m' now outputs entries for remote logins.  Previously login
   entries prefixed with the service (like "sshd") were not matched.
   [bug introduced in coreutils-9.4]

 ** Improvements

   'logname' correctly returns the user who logged in the session,
   on more systems.  Previously on musl or uclibc it would have merely
   output the LOGNAME environment variable.
