1293util-linux 2.9:
1294
1295HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1296
12971) Removed programs:
1298 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1299 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
13001a) Not yet removed program:
1301 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1302 ugly man page).
13031b) Removed directory:
1304 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
13052) Improvements:
1306 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1307 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1308 (i.e., uses locale)
1309 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1310 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1311 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1312 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1313 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1314 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1315 (however, I don't think it really works)
1316 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1317 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
13183) Uglifications:
1319 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1320 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1321 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1322 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1323 work under DOS. (Untested.)
13244) Numerous other small changes.
1325

KZ
1335HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1336
2b6fc908
KZ
13371) New programs:
1338 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1339 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13401) Removed programs:
1341 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1342 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1343 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1344 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
13452) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1346 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1347 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1348 are encouraged to send patches.
13493) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
13504) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

1354
73afd3f8 1355HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1356
13571) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1358 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1359
73afd3f8 13602) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1361 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1362 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1363 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1364 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1365 - clear: Included in ncurses
1366 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1367 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1368
13693) Bugfixes, additions:
1370 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1371 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1372 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1373 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1374 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1375 and sparc.
1376
2b6fc908 13774) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1378 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1379 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1380 ways to deal with this:
1381 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1382 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1383 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1384 simple if you know C.
1385 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1386 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1387 - Use some other rpcgen.

1390
1391This release was never made public
1392
1393See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1394
1395This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1396will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1397- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1398 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1399- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1400- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1401 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1402 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1403 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1404- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1405- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1406
1407Outstanding bugs:
1408- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1409- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1410- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1411 not necessarily be fixed.

1415
1416HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1417
14180) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1419 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1420
14211) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1422 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1423 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1424 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1425 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1426
14272) Bugfixes, additions:
1428 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1429 if you haven't already!
73afd3f8 1430 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1431 Arm patches).
1432 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1433 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1434
14353) New programs:
1436 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1437 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1438 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1439 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1440 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1441 hwclock now. Please.

1444util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1445
1446HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
14470) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1448 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1449 Faith).
1450
1451 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1452
14531) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1454 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1455
1456 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1457 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1458 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1459 MAKEDEV-C:

1461 MAKEDEV:
1462 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1463 md5sum:
1464 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1465 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1466 version.]
1467 ksymoops:
1468 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1469
14702) update_state has been removed
14713) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1472 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1473 Andries Brouwer)
14744) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1475 error reporting
14765) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14776) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14787) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1479 /dev/audio if available
14808) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1481 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1482 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1483 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1484 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1485
1486
1487HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14880) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1489 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14901) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14912) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14923) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1493 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1494 write.
14954) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1496 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1497 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
73afd3f8 1498 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
726f69e2
KZ
1499 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1500 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1501 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1502 possible.
15035) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
15046) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
15057) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
15068) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
15079) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
150810) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1509 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1510 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
151111) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
151212) frag removed. See
1513 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1514 latest version.
151513) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1516 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
151714) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
151815) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1519 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1520 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1521 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1522 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1523 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1524 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1525
1526 New Old
1527
1528 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1529 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1530 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1531
1532HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
15331) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
15342) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
15353) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1536 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1537 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1538 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1539 directory.
15404) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1541 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1542 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1543 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1544
1545
1546HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1547
15481) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1549 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1550 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1551 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15522) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15533) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1554 readprofile
15554) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1693 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1694 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1695 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1696 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1697 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1698 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1699 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1700 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1701 which restores the -o semantics.
1702
1703 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1704 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1705 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1706 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1707 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1708 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1709 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1710 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1711 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1712 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1713 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1714 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1715 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1716 error reporting.

1723 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
