1227HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1228
12291) Removed programs:
1230 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1231 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12321a) Not yet removed program:
1233 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1234 ugly man page).
12351b) Removed directory:
1236 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12372) Improvements:
1238 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1239 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1240 (i.e., uses locale)
1241 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1242 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1243 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1244 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1245 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1246 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1247 (however, I don't think it really works)
1248 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1249 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12503) Uglifications:
1251 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1252 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1253 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1254 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1255 work under DOS. (Untested.)
12564) Numerous other small changes.

1260util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1261The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1262Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
1263forwarded to Bryan.

KZ
1267HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1268
2b6fc908
KZ
12691) New programs:
1270 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1271 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
12721) Removed programs:
1273 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1274 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1275 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1276 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
12772) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1278 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1279 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1280 are encouraged to send patches.
12813) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
12824) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

KZ
1287HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1288
12891) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1290 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1291
12922) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1293 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1294 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1295 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1296 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1297 - clear: Included in ncurses
1298 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1299 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1300
13013) Bugfixes, additions:
1302 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1303 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1304 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1305 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1306 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1307 and sparc.
1308
2b6fc908 13094) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1310 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1311 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1312 ways to deal with this:
1313 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1314 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1315 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1316 simple if you know C.
1317 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1318 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1319 - Use some other rpcgen.

1321util-linux 2.6.1
1322
1323This release was never made public
1324
1325See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1326
1327This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1328will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1329- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1330 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1331- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1332- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1333 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1334 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1335 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1336- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1337- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1338
1339Outstanding bugs:
1340- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1341- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1342- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1343 not necessarily be fixed.

1346util-linux 2.6
1347
1348HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1349
13500) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1351 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1352
13531) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1354 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1355 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1356 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1357 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1358
13592) Bugfixes, additions:
1360 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1361 if you haven't already!
1362 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1363 Arm patches).
1364 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1365 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1366
13673) New programs:
1368 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1369 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1370 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1371 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1372 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1373 hwclock now. Please.

1376util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1377
1378HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
13790) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1380 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1381 Faith).
1382
1383 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1384
13851) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1386 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1387
1388 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1389 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1390 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1391 MAKEDEV-C:
1392 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1393 MAKEDEV:
1394 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1395 md5sum:
1396 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1397 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1398 version.]
1399 ksymoops:
1400 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1401
14022) update_state has been removed
14033) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1404 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1405 Andries Brouwer)
14064) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1407 error reporting
14085) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14096) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14107) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1411 /dev/audio if available
14128) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1413 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1414 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1415 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1416 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1417
1418
1419HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14200) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1421 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14221) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14232) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14243) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1425 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1426 write.
14274) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1428 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1429 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1430 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1431 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1432 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1433 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1434 possible.
14355) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14366) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14377) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14388) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14399) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
144010) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1441 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1442 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
144311) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
144412) frag removed. See
1445 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1446 latest version.
144713) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1448 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
144914) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
145015) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1451 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1452 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1453 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1454 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1455 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1456 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1457
1458 New Old
1459
1460 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1461 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1462 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1463
1464HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
14651) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
14662) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
14673) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1468 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1469 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1470 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1471 directory.
14724) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1473 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1474 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1475 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1476
1477
1478HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1479
14801) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1481 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1482 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1483 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
14842) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
14853) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1486 readprofile
14874) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1625 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1626 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1627 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1628 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1629 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1630 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1631 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1632 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1633 which restores the -o semantics.
1634
1635 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1636 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1637 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1638 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1639 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1640 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1641 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1642 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1643 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1644 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1645 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1646 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1647 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1648 error reporting.

1653historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1654 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1655 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1656 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1657 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
