This leaves 8.24-1 as current, and 8.23-4 as the previous version. NEWS: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This is a rebuild that enables the 'stdbuf' utility (Thanks to Yaakov for helping with patches to hack it into the build). The stdbuf build fails unit tests (not correctly set up for using an uninstalled dll), but I was able to get it working locally once installed. I'm going to mark this build as experimental for a couple of days to see if it works for others, or if there is anything else I need to do. If I don't get any negative feedback, I will promote it to current at that time. For upstream details on coreutils, see /usr/share/doc/coreutils/NEWS. If you missed the note in 8.23-2, there is no longer an 'su' program in coreutils; this is an upstream decision (many Linux distros are getting su from other packages, and even though cygwin's su had come from coreutils, it was heavily patched and doesn't work as smoothly as on Linux). I'm still debating whether it is worth trying to capture the last release of coreutils' su, as patched to work on cygwin, for distribution as an independent package; help would be appreciated from anyone else interested in this task. If you encounter a regression, please report it here rather than upstream. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/coreutils/.
