# 📦 Findutils 0.9.1 Release
Findutils 0.9.1 is a robustness and portability release. It follows up quickly on the 0.9.0 milestone (which introduced `locate`/`updatedb`) by hardening the existing utilities against a series of panics on malformed or unusual input, adding **WebAssembly (`wasm32-wasip1`) build support**, shipping **statically linked musl binaries** for Linux, and reworking how we track GNU/bfs test-suite compatibility in CI.
This release saw the first contribution from @leeewee, who landed most of the panic fixes below.

## GNU Test Suite Compatibility
Starting with this release, compatibility is tracked **per individual test** (PASS/FAIL/SKIP by test name) rather than by an aggregate count — see “Per-test compatibility tracking” below. Under the new per-test accounting, 0.9.1 stands at:
| Pass | 416 | 267 |
| Fail | 78 | 40 |
| Skip | 1 | 6 |
| Total | 495 | 313 |
0.9.1 is primarily a robustness/infrastructure release, so `find`/`xargs` matching semantics are essentially unchanged from 0.9.0; the panic fixes harden edge cases (malformed brackets, multibyte escapes, unmapped UIDs, short databases) rather than altering option behavior.

## Highlights
### Robustness — no more panics on malformed input
* `find -ls`: don't panic on an unmapped owner UID/GID by @leeewee in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/721
* `find -name`: don't panic on a malformed POSIX bracket class by @leeewee in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/722
* `find -printf`: don't panic on a multibyte char after an octal escape by @leeewee in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/723
* `find -printf`: correctly test an octal escape before a multibyte char by @leeewee in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/727
* `find -printf`: reject an over-large field width instead of panicking by @leeewee in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/734
* `xargs`: do not panic on empty input in replace (`-I`) mode by @leeewee in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/736
* `locate`: don't panic on a too-short `--database` file by @leeewee in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/718
### Portability: WebAssembly and static musl binaries
* Support compiling for non-Unix targets such as wasm, and build + lint the `wasm32-wasip1` target in CI by @sylvestre in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/725
* Build statically linked musl binaries for `x86_64` and `aarch64` by @sylvestre in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/741
### xargs
* Clarify the `-x` and `-t` help text by @jmr in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/708
### Project, CI & release
* Per-test GNU/bfs comparison and PR comment, modeled on the uutils sed/grep `GnuTests` workflow by @sylvestre in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/726
* Define the `[profile.dist]` used by cargo-dist by @sylvestre in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/739
* Inherit `lto = "thin"` in `Cargo.toml` by @oech3 in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/740
* Add 2 missing binaries to `latest-commit` by @oech3 in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/743
* `CONTRIBUTING.md`: replace coreutils references with findutils by @oech3 in https://github.com/uutils/findutils/pull/738
