1215HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1216
12171) Removed programs:
1218 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1219 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12201a) Not yet removed program:
1221 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1222 ugly man page).
12231b) Removed directory:
1224 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12252) Improvements:
1226 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1227 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1228 (i.e., uses locale)
1229 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1230 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1231 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1232 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1233 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1234 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1235 (however, I don't think it really works)
1236 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1237 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12383) Uglifications:
1239 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1240 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1241 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1242 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1243 work under DOS. (Untested.)
12444) Numerous other small changes.

1264 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
12652) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1266 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1267 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1268 are encouraged to send patches.
12693) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
12704) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

1275HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1276
12771) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1278 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1279
12802) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1281 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1282 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1283 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1284 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1285 - clear: Included in ncurses
1286 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1287 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1288
12893) Bugfixes, additions:
1290 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1291 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1292 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1293 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1294 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1295 and sparc.
1296
2b6fc908 12974) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1298 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1299 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1300 ways to deal with this:
1301 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1302 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1303 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1304 simple if you know C.
1305 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1306 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1307 - Use some other rpcgen.

1309util-linux 2.6.1
1310
1311This release was never made public
1312
1313See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1314
1315This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1316will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1317- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1318 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1319- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1320- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1321 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1322 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1323 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1324- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1325- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1326
1327Outstanding bugs:
1328- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1329- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1330- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1331 not necessarily be fixed.

1335
1336HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1337
13380) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1339 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1340
13411) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1342 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1343 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1344 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1345 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1346
13472) Bugfixes, additions:
1348 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1349 if you haven't already!
1350 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1351 Arm patches).
1352 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1353 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1354
13553) New programs:
1356 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1357 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1358 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1359 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1360 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1361 hwclock now. Please.

1364util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1365
1366HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
13670) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1368 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1369 Faith).
1370
1371 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1372
13731) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1374 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1375
1376 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1377 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1378 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1379 MAKEDEV-C:
1380 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1381 MAKEDEV:
1382 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1383 md5sum:
1384 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1385 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1386 version.]
1387 ksymoops:
1388 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1389
13902) update_state has been removed
13913) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1392 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1393 Andries Brouwer)
13944) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1395 error reporting
13965) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
13976) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
13987) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1399 /dev/audio if available
14008) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1401 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1402 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1403 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1404 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1405
1406
1407HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14080) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1409 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14101) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14112) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14123) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1413 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1414 write.
14154) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1416 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1417 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1418 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1419 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1420 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1421 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1422 possible.
14235) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14246) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14257) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14268) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14279) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
142810) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1429 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1430 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
143111) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
143212) frag removed. See
1433 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1434 latest version.
143513) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1436 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
143714) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
143815) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1439 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1440 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1441 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1442 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1443 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1444 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1445
1446 New Old
1447
1448 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1449 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1450 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1451
1452HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
14531) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
14542) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
14553) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1456 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1457 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1458 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1459 directory.
14604) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1461 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1462 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1463 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1464
1465
1466HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1467
14681) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1469 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1470 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1471 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
14722) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
14733) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1474 readprofile
14754) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1613 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1614 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1615 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1616 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick

1618 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1619 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1620 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1621 which restores the -o semantics.

1626 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1627 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1628 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1629 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1630 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1631 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1632 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1633 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1634 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1635 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up

1641historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1642 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1643 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1644 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1645 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1682 Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
