7 hours ago
- Ubuntu 26.10 completes the transition to Rust Coreutils for cp, mv, and rm commands, achieving 100% coverage.
- Previous Ubuntu releases (26.04 LTS and 25.10) did not use the Rust versions of these commands due to compatibility issues, which have now been resolved in upstream uutils.
- The Ubuntu 26.10 beta release is scheduled for this month, with the stable release set for October 15.
- Draft release notes for Ubuntu 26.10 confirm the full transition to Rust Coreutils.
