1195HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1196
11971) Removed programs:
1198 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1199 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12001a) Not yet removed program:
1201 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1202 ugly man page).
12031b) Removed directory:
1204 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12052) Improvements:
1206 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1207 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1208 (i.e., uses locale)
1209 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1210 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1211 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1212 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1213 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1214 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1215 (however, I don't think it really works)
1216 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1217 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12183) Uglifications:
1219 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1220 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1221 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1222 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1223 work under DOS. (Untested.)
12244) Numerous other small changes.
1225

1235HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1236
2b6fc908
KZ
12371) New programs:
1238 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1239 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
12401) Removed programs:
1241 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1242 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1243 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1244 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
12452) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1246 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1247 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1248 are encouraged to send patches.
12493) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
12504) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

fd6b7a7f
KZ
1262 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1263 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1264 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1265 - clear: Included in ncurses
1266 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1267 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f

1272 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1273 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1274 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1275 and sparc.

KZ
1278 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1279 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1280 ways to deal with this:
1281 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1282 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1283 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1284 simple if you know C.
1285 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1286 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1287 - Use some other rpcgen.

1289util-linux 2.6.1
1290
1291This release was never made public
1292
1293See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1294
1295This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1296will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1297- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1298 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1299- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1300- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1301 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1302 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1303 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1304- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1305- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1306
1307Outstanding bugs:
1308- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1309- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1310- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1311 not necessarily be fixed.

1315
1316HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1317
13180) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1319 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1320
13211) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1322 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1323 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1324 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1325 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1326
13272) Bugfixes, additions:
1328 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1329 if you haven't already!
1330 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1331 Arm patches).
1332 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1333 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1334
13353) New programs:
1336 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1337 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1338 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1339 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1340 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1341 hwclock now. Please.

1344util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1345
1346HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
13470) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1348 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1349 Faith).
1350
1351 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1352
13531) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1354 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1355
1356 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1357 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1358 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1359 MAKEDEV-C:
1360 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1361 MAKEDEV:
1362 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1363 md5sum:
1364 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1365 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1366 version.]
1367 ksymoops:
1368 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1369
13702) update_state has been removed
13713) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1372 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1373 Andries Brouwer)
13744) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1375 error reporting
13765) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
13776) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
13787) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1379 /dev/audio if available
13808) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1381 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1382 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1383 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1384 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1385
1386
1387HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
13880) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1389 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
13901) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
13912) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
13923) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1393 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1394 write.
13954) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1396 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1397 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1398 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1399 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1400 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1401 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1402 possible.
14035) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14046) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14057) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14068) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14079) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
140810) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1409 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1410 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
141111) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
141212) frag removed. See
1413 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1414 latest version.
141513) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1416 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
141714) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
141815) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1419 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1420 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1421 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1422 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1423 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1424 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1425
1426 New Old
1427
1428 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1429 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1430 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1431
1432HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
14331) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
14342) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
14353) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1436 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1437 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1438 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1439 directory.
14404) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1441 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1442 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1443 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1444
1445
1446HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1447
14481) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1449 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1450 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1451 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
14522) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
14533) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1454 readprofile
14554) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1593 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1594 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1595 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1596 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1597 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1598 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1599 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1600 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1601 which restores the -o semantics.
1602
1603 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1604 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1605 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1606 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1607 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1608 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1609 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1610 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1611 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1612 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1613 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1614 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type

1657 setserial: Michael K. Johnson (johnsonm@stolaf.edu) re-released Rick
1658 Sladkey's setserial in January 1993, with changes by
1659 Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu). I think that Theodore also
1660 did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1661 notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1662 Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1663 is now included.
