There is a new test release of the textutils here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/textutils-2.0.17.tar.gz (2.2 MB)
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/textutils-2.0.17.tar.bz2 (1.6 MB)
Here's one mirror. Please tell me if you know of others.
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/textutils/textutils-2.0.17.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/textutils/textutils-2.0.17.tar.bz2
This is mainly a bug-fixing release.
It might be close to 2.1.
Here are most of the user-visible changes between 2.0.16 and 2.0.17:
* csplit no longer gets a failed assertion for this:
printf 'a\n\n'|csplit - '/^$/' 2
* sort detects physical memory attributes more portably
* tail no longer gets a segfault on Linux's /proc/ksyms
* sum -s produces the proper 16-bit checksum for large files
(this fixes a bug that was introduced in 2.0f)
* uniq is now about 3 times faster than the version from 2.0 on Linux systems;
the code uses lock-avoiding variants of common I/O functions
See the ChangeLog files for details and credits.

Thanks to Bob Proulx, there is now a FAQ for the
fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils:

Here are the MD5 and SHA1 signatures for the compressed tar files:

You can use the md5sum or sha1sum programs from this package to
verify these numbers.
