1285util-linux 2.9:
1286
1287HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1288
12891) Removed programs:
1290 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1291 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12921a) Not yet removed program:
1293 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1294 ugly man page).
12951b) Removed directory:
1296 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12972) Improvements:
1298 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1299 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1300 (i.e., uses locale)
1301 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1302 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1303 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1304 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1305 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1306 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1307 (however, I don't think it really works)
1308 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1309 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
13103) Uglifications:
1311 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1312 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1313 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1314 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1315 work under DOS. (Untested.)
13164) Numerous other small changes.
1317

KZ
1327HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1328
2b6fc908
KZ
13291) New programs:
1330 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1331 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13321) Removed programs:
1333 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1334 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1335 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1336 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
13372) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1338 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1339 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1340 are encouraged to send patches.
13413) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
13424) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

1347HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1348
13491) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1350 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1351
13522) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1353 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1354 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1355 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1356 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1357 - clear: Included in ncurses
1358 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1359 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1360
13613) Bugfixes, additions:
1362 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1363 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1364 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1365 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1366 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1367 and sparc.
1368
2b6fc908 13694) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1370 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1371 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1372 ways to deal with this:
1373 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1374 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1375 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1376 simple if you know C.
1377 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1378 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1379 - Use some other rpcgen.

1381util-linux 2.6.1
1382
1383This release was never made public
1384
1385See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1386
1387This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1388will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1389- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1390 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1391- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1392- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1393 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1394 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1395 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1396- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1397- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1398
1399Outstanding bugs:
1400- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1401- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1402- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1403 not necessarily be fixed.

1408HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1409
14100) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1411 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1412
14131) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1414 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1415 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at

KZ
1416 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1417 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1418
14192) Bugfixes, additions:
1420 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1421 if you haven't already!
1422 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1423 Arm patches).
1424 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1425 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1426
14273) New programs:
1428 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1429 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1430 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1431 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1432 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1433 hwclock now. Please.

KZ
1437
1438HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
14390) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1440 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1441 Faith).
1442
1443 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1444
14451) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1446 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1447
1448 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1449 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1450 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz

1455 md5sum:
1456 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1457 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1458 version.]
1459 ksymoops:
1460 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1461
14622) update_state has been removed
14633) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1464 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1465 Andries Brouwer)
14664) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1467 error reporting
14685) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14696) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14707) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1471 /dev/audio if available
14728) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1473 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1474 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1475 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1476 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1477
1478
1479HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14800) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1481 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14821) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14832) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14843) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1485 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1486 write.
14874) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1488 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1489 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1490 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1491 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1492 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1493 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1494 possible.
14955) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14966) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14977) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14988) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14999) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
150010) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1501 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1502 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
150311) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
150412) frag removed. See
1505 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1506 latest version.
150713) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1508 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
150914) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
151015) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1511 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1512 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1513 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1514 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1515 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1516 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1517
1518 New Old
1519
1520 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1521 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1522 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1523
1524HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
15251) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
15262) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
15273) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1528 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1529 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1530 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1531 directory.
15324) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1533 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz

1535 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1536
1537
1538HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1539
15401) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1541 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1542 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1543 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15442) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15453) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1546 readprofile
15474) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1685 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1686 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1687 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1688 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1689 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1690 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1691 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1692 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1693 which restores the -o semantics.
1694
1695 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1696 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1697 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1698 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1699 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1700 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1701 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1702 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1703 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1704 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1705 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1706 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1707 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1708 error reporting.

1714 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1715 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1716 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1717 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
