1273util-linux 2.9:
1274
1275HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1276
12771) Removed programs:
1278 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1279 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12801a) Not yet removed program:
1281 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1282 ugly man page).
12831b) Removed directory:
1284 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12852) Improvements:
1286 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1287 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1288 (i.e., uses locale)
1289 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1290 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1291 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1292 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1293 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1294 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1295 (however, I don't think it really works)
1296 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1297 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12983) Uglifications:
1299 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1300 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1301 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1302 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1303 work under DOS. (Untested.)
13044) Numerous other small changes.
1305

KZ
1315HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1316
2b6fc908
KZ
13171) New programs:
1318 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1319 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13201) Removed programs:
1321 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1322 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1323 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1324 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
13252) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1326 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1327 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1328 are encouraged to send patches.
13293) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
13304) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

1335HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1336
13371) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1338 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1339
13402) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1341 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1342 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1343 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1344 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1345 - clear: Included in ncurses
1346 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1347 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1348
13493) Bugfixes, additions:
1350 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1351 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1352 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1353 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1354 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1355 and sparc.
1356
2b6fc908 13574) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1358 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1359 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1360 ways to deal with this:
1361 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1362 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1363 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1364 simple if you know C.
1365 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1366 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1367 - Use some other rpcgen.

1369util-linux 2.6.1
1370
1371This release was never made public
1372
1373See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1374
1375This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1376will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1377- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1378 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1379- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1380- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1381 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1382 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1383 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1384- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1385- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1386
1387Outstanding bugs:
1388- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1389- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1390- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1391 not necessarily be fixed.

1395
1396HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1397
13980) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1399 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1400
14011) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1402 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1403 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1404 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1405 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1406
14072) Bugfixes, additions:
1408 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1409 if you haven't already!
1410 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1411 Arm patches).
1412 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1413 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1414
14153) New programs:
1416 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1417 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1418 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1419 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1420 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1421 hwclock now. Please.

1424util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1425
1426HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
14270) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1428 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1429 Faith).
1430
1431 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1432
14331) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1434 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1435
1436 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1437 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1438 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1439 MAKEDEV-C:

1441 MAKEDEV:
1442 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1443 md5sum:
1444 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1445 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1446 version.]
1447 ksymoops:
1448 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1449
14502) update_state has been removed
14513) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1452 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1453 Andries Brouwer)
14544) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1455 error reporting
14565) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14576) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14587) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1459 /dev/audio if available
14608) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1461 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1462 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1463 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1464 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1465
1466
1467HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14680) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1469 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14701) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14712) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14723) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1473 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1474 write.
14754) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1476 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1477 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1478 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1479 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1480 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1481 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1482 possible.
14835) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14846) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14857) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14868) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14879) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
148810) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1489 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1490 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
149111) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
149212) frag removed. See
1493 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1494 latest version.
149513) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1496 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
149714) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
149815) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1499 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1500 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1501 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1502 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1503 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1504 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1505
1506 New Old
1507
1508 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1509 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1510 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1511
1512HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
15131) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
15142) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
15153) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1516 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1517 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1518 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1519 directory.
15204) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1521 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz

1523 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1524
1525
1526HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1527
15281) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1529 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1530 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1531 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15322) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15333) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1534 readprofile
15354) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1673 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1674 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1675 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1676 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1677 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1678 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1679 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1680 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1681 which restores the -o semantics.
1682
1683 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1684 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1685 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1686 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1687 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1688 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1689 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1690 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1691 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1692 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1693 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1694 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1695 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1696 error reporting.

1701historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1702 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1703 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1704 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1705 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1738 Sladkey's setserial in January 1993, with changes by
1739 Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu). I think that Theodore also
1740 did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1741 notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1742 Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1743 is now included.
