mount(8) and libmount:
+
* no more supports --enable-libmount-support-mtab. Yes, classic
writable /etc/mtab is completely dead now.
+
* supports new file descriptors based mount kernel API. This change is
- very aggressive to libmount code, but hopefully it does not introduce
- regressions in traditional mount(8) behavior. The library is still backwardly
- compatible with old kernels and it's able to fall back to classic mount(2) API
- if necessary. The old mount(2) is also use for btrfs when used with SELinux
- context= mount options, because btrfs kernel driver does not support this
- use-case yet; it's possible we will see more in-kernel issue... Use

lsfd(1):
- * massively improved information about network socket
+ * uses NAME column to show cooked file names. Refer KNAME column if you need
+ raw file names that appeared in /proc/$pid/fd.
+
+ * uses TYPE column to show cooked file type names. Refer STTYPE if you need
+ raw type reported by stat(2).
+
+ * adds ENDPOINTS column for printing the endpoints of IPCs. This version
+ supports FIFO.
+
+ * decodes flags field of /proc/$PID/fdinfo/$fd correctly
+
+ * adds columns for pidfd
+
+ * adds columns for AF_INET and AF_INET6 sockets. This version uses /proc/net/*
+ files as information sources.
+
+ * adds columns for AF_NETLINK sockets.
-cal(1) can be configured to use colors by terminal-colors.d(5)
+ * adds columns for AF_PACKET sockets.
-dmesg(1) supports subsecond granularity for --since and --until
+ * supports -i, --inet options for displaying only AF_INET and/or AF_INET6
+ sockets.

fstrim(8) supports a new option --types to filter out by filesystem types
* reports endianness (minix, befs, cramfs, ufs, squashfs3, zfs)
- * calculates check-sums for many filesystems and RAIDs to avoid
+ * calculates check-sums for many filesystems and RAIDs to avoid false-positive

lsblk(8):
- * new options --nvme and --virtio
+ * --nvme and --virtio are new options to filter out devices.
+
+ * adds columns ID (udev ID), ID-LINK (the shortest udev /dev/disk/by-id
+ link name), PARTN (partition number), and MQ (device queues).
+
+ * improves detection of hotplug and removable status.
+
+nsenter(1) supports a new option --env for allowing environment variables
+inheritance.
