df no longer corrupts displayed multibyte characters on macOS.
[bug introduced with coreutils-8.18]
+ shred, sort, and split no longer falsely report ftruncate errors
+ when outputting to less-common file types. For example, the shell
+ command 'sort /dev/null -o /dev/stdout | cat' no longer fails with
+ an "error truncating" diagnostic.
+ [bug was introduced with coreutils-8.18 for sort and split, and
+ (for shared memory objects only) with fileutils-4.1 for shred]
+
sync no longer fails for write-only file arguments.
[bug introduced with argument support to sync in coreutils-8.24]
