1211HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1212
12131) Removed programs:
1214 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1215 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12161a) Not yet removed program:
1217 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1218 ugly man page).
12191b) Removed directory:
1220 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12212) Improvements:
1222 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1223 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1224 (i.e., uses locale)
1225 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1226 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1227 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1228 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1229 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1230 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1231 (however, I don't think it really works)
1232 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1233 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12343) Uglifications:
1235 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1236 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1237 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1238 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1239 work under DOS. (Untested.)
12404) Numerous other small changes.

1252
2b6fc908
KZ
12531) New programs:
1254 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1255 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.

2b6fc908
KZ
1258 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1259 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1260 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
12612) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1262 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1263 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1264 are encouraged to send patches.
12653) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
12664) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

1271HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1272
12731) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1274 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1275
12762) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1277 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1278 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1279 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1280 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1281 - clear: Included in ncurses
1282 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1283 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1284
12853) Bugfixes, additions:
1286 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1287 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1288 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1289 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1290 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1291 and sparc.
1292
2b6fc908 12934) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1294 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1295 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1296 ways to deal with this:
1297 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1298 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1299 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1300 simple if you know C.
1301 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1302 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1303 - Use some other rpcgen.

1305util-linux 2.6.1
1306
1307This release was never made public
1308
1309See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1310
1311This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1312will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1313- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1314 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1315- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1316- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1317 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1318 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1319 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1320- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1321- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1322
1323Outstanding bugs:
1324- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1325- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1326- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1327 not necessarily be fixed.

1331
1332HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1333
13340) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1335 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1336
13371) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1338 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1339 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1340 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1341 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1342
13432) Bugfixes, additions:
1344 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1345 if you haven't already!
1346 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1347 Arm patches).
1348 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1349 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1350
13513) New programs:
1352 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1353 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1354 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1355 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1356 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1357 hwclock now. Please.

1360util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1361
1362HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
13630) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1364 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1365 Faith).
1366
1367 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1368
13691) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1370 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1371
1372 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1373 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1374 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1375 MAKEDEV-C:
1376 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1377 MAKEDEV:
1378 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1379 md5sum:
1380 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1381 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1382 version.]
1383 ksymoops:
1384 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1385
13862) update_state has been removed
13873) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1388 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1389 Andries Brouwer)
13904) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1391 error reporting
13925) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
13936) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
13947) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1395 /dev/audio if available
13968) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1397 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1398 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1399 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1400 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1401
1402
1403HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14040) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1405 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14061) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14072) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14083) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1409 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1410 write.
14114) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1412 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1413 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1414 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1415 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1416 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1417 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1418 possible.
14195) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14206) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14217) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14228) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14239) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
142410) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1425 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1426 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
142711) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
142812) frag removed. See
1429 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1430 latest version.
143113) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1432 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
143314) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
143415) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1435 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1436 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1437 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1438 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1439 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1440 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1441
1442 New Old
1443
1444 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1445 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1446 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1447
1448HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
14491) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
14502) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
14513) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1452 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1453 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1454 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1455 directory.
14564) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1457 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1458 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1459 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1460
1461
1462HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1463
14641) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1465 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1466 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1467 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
14682) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
14693) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1470 readprofile
14714) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1609 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1610 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1611 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1612 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1613 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1614 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1615 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1616 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1617 which restores the -o semantics.
1618
1619 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1620 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1621 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1622 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1623 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1624 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop

1637historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1638 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1639 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1640 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1641 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
