1264
1265util-linux 2.9:
1266
1267HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1268
12691) Removed programs:
1270 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1271 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12721a) Not yet removed program:
1273 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1274 ugly man page).
12751b) Removed directory:
1276 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12772) Improvements:
1278 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1279 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1280 (i.e., uses locale)
1281 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1282 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1283 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1284 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1285 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1286 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1287 (however, I don't think it really works)
1288 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1289 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12903) Uglifications:
1291 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1292 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1293 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1294 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1295 work under DOS. (Untested.)
12964) Numerous other small changes.
1297

KZ
1307HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1308
2b6fc908
KZ
13091) New programs:
1310 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1311 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13121) Removed programs:
1313 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1314 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1315 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1316 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
13172) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1318 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1319 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1320 are encouraged to send patches.
13213) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
13224) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

KZ
1327HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1328
13291) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1330 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1331
13322) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1333 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1334 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1335 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1336 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1337 - clear: Included in ncurses
1338 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1339 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1340
13413) Bugfixes, additions:
1342 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1343 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1344 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1345 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1346 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1347 and sparc.
1348
2b6fc908 13494) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1350 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1351 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1352 ways to deal with this:
1353 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1354 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1355 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1356 simple if you know C.
1357 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1358 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1359 - Use some other rpcgen.

1361util-linux 2.6.1
1362
1363This release was never made public
1364
1365See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1366
1367This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1368will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1369- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1370 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1371- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1372- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1373 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1374 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1375 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1376- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1377- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1378
1379Outstanding bugs:
1380- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1381- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1382- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1383 not necessarily be fixed.

1386util-linux 2.6
1387
1388HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1389
13900) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1391 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1392
13931) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1394 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1395 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1396 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1397 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1398
13992) Bugfixes, additions:
1400 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1401 if you haven't already!
1402 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1403 Arm patches).
1404 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1405 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1406
14073) New programs:
1408 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1409 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1410 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1411 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1412 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1413 hwclock now. Please.

1416util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1417
1418HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
14190) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1420 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1421 Faith).
1422
1423 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1424
14251) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1426 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1427
1428 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1429 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1430 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1431 MAKEDEV-C:

1433 MAKEDEV:
1434 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1435 md5sum:
1436 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1437 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1438 version.]
1439 ksymoops:
1440 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1441
14422) update_state has been removed
14433) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1444 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1445 Andries Brouwer)
14464) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1447 error reporting
14485) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14496) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14507) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1451 /dev/audio if available
14528) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1453 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1454 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1455 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1456 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1457
1458
1459HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14600) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1461 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14621) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14632) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14643) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1465 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1466 write.
14674) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1468 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1469 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1470 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1471 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1472 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1473 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1474 possible.
14755) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14766) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14777) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14788) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14799) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
148010) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1481 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1482 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
148311) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
148412) frag removed. See
1485 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1486 latest version.
148713) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1488 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
148914) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
149015) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1491 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1492 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1493 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1494 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1495 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1496 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1497
1498 New Old
1499
1500 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1501 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1502 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1503
1504HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
15051) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
15062) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
15073) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1508 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1509 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1510 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1511 directory.
15124) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1513 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz

1515 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1516
1517
1518HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1519
15201) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1521 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1522 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1523 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15242) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15253) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1526 readprofile
15274) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1665 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1666 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1667 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1668 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1669 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1670 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1671 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1672 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1673 which restores the -o semantics.
1674
1675 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1676 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1677 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1678 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1679 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1680 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1681 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1682 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1683 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1684 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1685 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1686 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1687 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1688 error reporting.

1695 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1696 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1697 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
