Welcome to the club friends! ;)
My talk at FOSDEM 2026 is now live:

Rust Coreutils 0.6.0 is out!
This release hits 96.28% GNU test-suite compatibility (622 passing tests, up 56 vs 0.5.0), with failures cut from 55 to 16.
Locale and i18n took a big step forward: ICU-backed locale-aware day/month names and hour formatting in date, locale-aware numeric sorting (including thousands separators) in sort, and locale-aware collation in join. Performance improvements across multiple utilities, plus wider platform support (including SMACK and better Cygwin coverage).
Uutils Coreutils hits a major milestone! Now passing 603 out of 645 GNU test suite tests (93%+ compatibility). Our Rust reimplementation of core Unix utilities continues to mature as a drop-in replacement for GNU Coreutils while delivering cross-platform support and memory safety.
What remains ?

We opened a few good first bugs:
- Uutils Coreutils: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22
- Uutils sed: https://github.com/uutils/sed/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22
Don't hesitate to contribute! Some of them should be quite easy, even for a new Rust developer!
