Rust Coreutils 0.3 Released With Some Major Speed-Ups, Better GNU Compatibility

The uutils project announced tonight the release of Rust Coreutils 0.3, another step forward for this Rust version alternative to GNU Coreutils that has been attracting a lot of interest lately due to Ubuntu 25.10 now using it by default.

Rust Coreutils 0.2: Kleines Update, große Wirkung - LinuxCommunity

Das Uutils-Projekt re-implementiert die GNU Coreutils in Rust. Trotz des kleinen Versionssprungs umfasst das aktuelle Update einige Änderungen – angefangen bei der Übersetzung der Ausgaben bis zu einem flotten „tr“. Ubuntu wird zudem die Rust Coreutils standardmäßig nutzen. Die Re-Implementierung der GNU Coreutils soll die Basiswerkzeuge eines jeden Linux-Systems schneller und sicherer machen. Die Entwicklung erfolgt dabei unter dem Dach des Uutils-Projekts, weshalb die Programmsammlung vielerorts nur kurz „Uutils“ heißt. Die neue Version 0.2 bringt vor allem eine große Neuerung mit: Die im Paket enthaltenen Werkzeuge wie „mv“ und „cp“ unterstützen eine Internationalisierung und Lokalisierung. Die Rust Coreutils nutzen dabei im Hintergrund das Fluent Framework von Mozilla. Damit unterstützen die Programme auch komplexe Pluralformen aus dem Arabischen und Hebräischen, obendrein lassen sich alle Fehlermeldung von „clap“ lokalisieren. Die eigentlichen Übersetzungen verfassen die Entwickler auf der Plattform Weblate, die fertigen Texte sammelt ein eigenes Repository. In der Version 0.2.0 steht bereits eine französische Übersetzung zur Verfügung. Des Weiteren haben die Entwickler die Geschwindigkeit erhöht. Unter anderem „sort“ und „cat“ gehen jetzt noch flotter zu Werke. Besonders eifrig ist „tr“: War es in der Vorversion noch fast zehnmal so langsam wie das gleichnamige GNU-Pendant, läuft es jetzt 1,58-mal schneller als das Vorbild. Sämtliche Programme verarbeiten ab sofort Dateinamen, die nicht in der Zeichenkodierung UTF-8 vorliegen. Des Weiteren jonglieren die Tools alle Unicode-Zeichen. So kann man etwa „cut“ auch auf Emojis ansetzen. Canonical möchte das kommende Ubuntu auf die Rust Coreutils umstellen. Das Uutils-Projekt hat daher verstärkt an der Stabilität der Tools gefeilt und die Kompatibilität erhöht. So erfüllen die Rust Coreutils jetzt 16 weitere Kompatibilitätstests und somit insgesamt 538 von 618. Grundlage ist hier die GNU Testsuite.

Rust Coreutils “uutils” v0.1 released!

The developers behind the Rust coreutils, called uutils, has reached a major milestone with the release of v0.1.0. This comes after the last release, which was v0.0.30. This version is now on GitHub, which you can check out below.

Learn more

This version of uutils contains many interesting changes done to the system utilities, including cp, ls, and others. The SELinux support has been added to cp, ls, mkdir, mknod, mkfifo, install, and stat for systems that are security oriented. This makes sure that systems with this coreutils implementation can now enjoy better security with SELinux enabled, especially when SELinux is enforcing.

In addition to that, the speed has been improved to match and possibly exceed the legacy GNU coreutils performance. You can now notice the improved speed in commands like cat, ls, wc, tail, seq, and more.

Thanks to many commits and contributions done to the Rust coreutils project, it has witnessed many changes done to various commands, such as date allowing negative date offsets, echo allowing double hyphens, and print fixing octal escape parsing.

In addition to that, the test suite compatibility has seen increasing number of successes. While 0.0.30 has 507 passes; 41 skips; and 69 fails, version 0.1.0 has 522 passes; 31 skips; and 65 passes.

As a result, as future versions get released, compatibility with the older GNU coreutils increases. This is evidenced by the increasing number of succeeding unit tests for the Rust coreutils project, especially when it comes to SELinux-related tests.

You can consult the official website of Rust coreutils below.

What about Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is planning to ship uutils to replace the older GNU coreutils as part of the broader plan, called “Oxidizing Ubuntu.” Ubuntu 25.10 will be the first version of Ubuntu that will use this coreutils implementation to ensure that your Ubuntu system becomes both more secure and quicker; furthermore, your productivity will increase as the improved performance becomes prevalent in this release.

Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka will use the Rust coreutils during the development cycle, along with the Rust implementation of sudo called rs-sudo. In later development milestones, Ubuntu will use the findutils and the diffutils projects from the master uutils project.

You will be able to download the stable release of this Ubuntu version on October 9th, 2025.
