1289util-linux 2.9:
1290
1291HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1292
12931) Removed programs:
1294 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1295 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12961a) Not yet removed program:
1297 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1298 ugly man page).
12991b) Removed directory:
1300 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
13012) Improvements:
1302 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1303 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1304 (i.e., uses locale)
1305 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1306 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1307 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1308 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1309 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1310 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1311 (however, I don't think it really works)
1312 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1313 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
13143) Uglifications:
1315 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1316 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1317 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1318 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1319 work under DOS. (Untested.)
13204) Numerous other small changes.
1321

KZ
1331HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1332
2b6fc908
KZ
13331) New programs:
1334 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1335 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13361) Removed programs:
1337 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1338 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1339 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1340 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
13412) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1342 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1343 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1344 are encouraged to send patches.
13453) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
13464) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

1351HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1352
13531) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1354 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1355
13562) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1357 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1358 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1359 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1360 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1361 - clear: Included in ncurses
1362 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1363 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1364
13653) Bugfixes, additions:
1366 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1367 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1368 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1369 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1370 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1371 and sparc.
1372
2b6fc908 13734) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1374 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1375 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1376 ways to deal with this:
1377 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1378 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1379 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1380 simple if you know C.
1381 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1382 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1383 - Use some other rpcgen.

1386
1387This release was never made public
1388
1389See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1390
1391This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1392will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1393- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1394 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1395- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1396- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1397 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1398 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1399 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1400- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1401- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1402
1403Outstanding bugs:
1404- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1405- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1406- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1407 not necessarily be fixed.

1412HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1413
14140) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1415 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1416
14171) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1418 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1419 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at

KZ
1420 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1421 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1422
14232) Bugfixes, additions:
1424 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1425 if you haven't already!
1426 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1427 Arm patches).
1428 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1429 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1430
14313) New programs:
1432 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1433 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1434 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1435 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1436 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1437 hwclock now. Please.

726f69e2
KZ
1441
1442HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
14430) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1444 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1445 Faith).
1446
1447 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1448
14491) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1450 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1451
1452 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1453 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1454 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz

1459 md5sum:
1460 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1461 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1462 version.]
1463 ksymoops:
1464 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1465
14662) update_state has been removed
14673) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1468 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1469 Andries Brouwer)
14704) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1471 error reporting
14725) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14736) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14747) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1475 /dev/audio if available
14768) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1477 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1478 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1479 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1480 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1481
1482
1483HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14840) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1485 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14861) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14872) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14883) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1489 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1490 write.
14914) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1492 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1493 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1494 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1495 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1496 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1497 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1498 possible.
14995) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
15006) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
15017) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
15028) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
15039) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
150410) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1505 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1506 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
150711) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
150812) frag removed. See
1509 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1510 latest version.
151113) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1512 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
151314) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
151415) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1515 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1516 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1517 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1518 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1519 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1520 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1521
1522 New Old
1523
1524 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1525 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1526 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1527
1528HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
15291) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
15302) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
15313) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1532 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1533 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1534 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1535 directory.
15364) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1537 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz

1539 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1540
1541
1542HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1543
15441) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1545 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1546 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1547 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15482) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15493) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1550 readprofile
15514) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1689 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1690 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1691 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1692 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1693 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1694 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1695 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1696 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1697 which restores the -o semantics.
1698
1699 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1700 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1701 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1702 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1703 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1704 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1705 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1706 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1707 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1708 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1709 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1710 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1711 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1712 error reporting.
