1253util-linux 2.9:
1254
1255HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1256
12571) Removed programs:
1258 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1259 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12601a) Not yet removed program:
1261 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1262 ugly man page).
12631b) Removed directory:
1264 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12652) Improvements:
1266 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1267 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1268 (i.e., uses locale)
1269 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1270 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1271 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1272 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1273 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1274 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1275 (however, I don't think it really works)
1276 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1277 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12783) Uglifications:
1279 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1280 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1281 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1282 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1283 work under DOS. (Untested.)
12844) Numerous other small changes.
1285

KZ
1295HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1296
2b6fc908
KZ
12971) New programs:
1298 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1299 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13001) Removed programs:
1301 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1302 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1303 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1304 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
13052) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1306 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1307 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1308 are encouraged to send patches.
13093) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
13104) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

1315HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1316
13171) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1318 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1319
13202) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1321 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1322 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1323 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1324 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1325 - clear: Included in ncurses
1326 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1327 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1328
13293) Bugfixes, additions:
1330 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1331 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1332 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1333 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1334 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1335 and sparc.
1336
2b6fc908 13374) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1338 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1339 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1340 ways to deal with this:
1341 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1342 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1343 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1344 simple if you know C.
1345 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1346 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1347 - Use some other rpcgen.

1349util-linux 2.6.1
1350
1351This release was never made public
1352
1353See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1354
1355This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1356will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1357- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1358 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1359- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1360- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1361 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1362 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1363 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1364- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1365- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1366
1367Outstanding bugs:
1368- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1369- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1370- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1371 not necessarily be fixed.

1375
1376HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1377
13780) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1379 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1380
13811) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1382 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1383 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1384 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1385 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1386
13872) Bugfixes, additions:
1388 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1389 if you haven't already!
1390 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1391 Arm patches).
1392 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1393 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1394
13953) New programs:
1396 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1397 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1398 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1399 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1400 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1401 hwclock now. Please.

726f69e2
KZ
1405
1406HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
14070) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1408 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1409 Faith).
1410
1411 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1412
14131) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1414 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1415
1416 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1417 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1418 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1419 MAKEDEV-C:

1421 MAKEDEV:
1422 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1423 md5sum:
1424 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1425 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1426 version.]
1427 ksymoops:
1428 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1429
14302) update_state has been removed
14313) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1432 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1433 Andries Brouwer)
14344) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1435 error reporting
14365) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14376) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14387) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1439 /dev/audio if available
14408) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1441 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1442 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1443 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1444 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1445
1446
1447HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14480) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1449 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14501) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14512) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14523) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1453 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1454 write.
14554) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1456 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1457 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1458 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1459 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1460 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1461 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1462 possible.
14635) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14646) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14657) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14668) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14679) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
146810) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1469 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1470 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
147111) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
147212) frag removed. See
1473 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1474 latest version.
147513) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1476 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
147714) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
147815) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1479 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1480 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1481 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1482 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1483 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1484 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1485
1486 New Old
1487
1488 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1489 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1490 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1491
1492HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
14931) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
14942) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
14953) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1496 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1497 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1498 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1499 directory.
15004) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1501 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz

1503 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1504
1505
1506HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1507
15081) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1509 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1510 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1511 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15122) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15133) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1514 readprofile
15154) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1653 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1654 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1655 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1656 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1657 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1658 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1659 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1660 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1661 which restores the -o semantics.
1662
1663 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1664 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1665 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1666 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1667 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1668 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1669 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1670 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1671 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1672 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1673 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1674 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1675 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1676 error reporting.

1683 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
