📦 **Rust Coreutils 0.0.25 Release:** 
We're thrilled to announce version 0.0.25. We added +15 GNU passing tests since our last update!

More and more programs have a full compatibility with the GNU testsuite.

The current list is: base64, basename, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, dirname, expand, fold, groups, join, ln, mktemp, nice, nl, nproc, paste, pathchk, printenv, realpath, shuf, sleep, split, sync, unexpand, uniq, wc and yes.
This release saw contributions from 31 developers, including 14 newcomers.
Some of this work has been supported by the Sovereign Tech Fund.
If you want to help us, please consider sponsoring on GitHub. This helps us use better tools like GitHub Actions. Sponsor us at https://github.com/sponsors/uutils.
