+## Reverted `coreutils` to fix `cargo install` [[toc](#table-of-contents)]
+
+Bumping `coreutils` to 0.1.0 broke `cargo install nu`.
+The new version requires the `PROJECT_NAME_FOR_VERSION_STRING` environment variable at build time, which we had set in our `.cargo/config.toml`.
+
+Unfortunately, `cargo publish` does **not** ignore that file, which is considered [a bug in Cargo](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/14001).
+As a result, we published a version that couldn't be installed without setting that env var manually.
+
+[The `coreutils` team is running into this too](https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/7992).
+
+For now, we've reverted [#15896](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/15896) in [#15932](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/15932).
+We'll bump `coreutils` again once they’ve sorted out a fix.

+Afterwards, go through each PR and classify it as one of the following:
+    - A user-facing change. These PRs should go into the `# Changes` section.
+    - A plugin-facing change. These PRs should go in `# Notes for plugin developers`. Some plugin-facing changes might also be a user-facing change and vice versa.
+    - A documentation improvement, error message improvement, refactoring PR, clippy fix, typo fix, etc. These PRs go into the `# Hall of fame`. You can just copy the table row in this section and paste it to the `# Hall of fame` section above. Note that major refactorings may warrant a section in `# Highlights`.
+    - Dependabot PRs and version bumps should be ignored. They will only be mentioned in `# Full changelog`.
