An updated package, coreutils-8.8-1 release has been uploaded and will
soon reach a mirror near you, leaving coreutils 8.5-2 as previous.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release, with upstream details listed below.  It
also includes a change to 'df -l' to better recognize local drives.

If you encounter a regression, please report it here rather than
upstream.  See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/coreutils/.

Help in porting the stdbuf utility to cygwin would be appreciated.
