GNU Coreutils 9.10 Released With Stability Fixes

The GNU project has announced the release of coreutils 9.10, a new stable version of the essential collection of basic file, shell, and text manipulation utilities that form the backbone of nearly every Linux and Unix-like system.

The release addresses several regressions introduced in version 9.9, affecting cp, install, and mv when copying sparse files using SEEK_HOLE. This issue could surface on filesystems such as ext4 when sparse files were actively updated, and copy offload was unavailable.
