1184
1185 util-linux 2.9:
1186
1187 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1188
1189 1) Removed programs:
1190    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1191    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1192 1a) Not yet removed program:
1193    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1194      ugly man page).
1195 1b) Removed directory:
1196    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1197 2) Improvements:
1198    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1199    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1200      (i.e., uses locale)
1201    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1202    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1203    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1204    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1205    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1206    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1207      (however, I don't think it really works)
1208    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1209    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1210 3) Uglifications:
1211    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1212      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1213    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1214    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1215      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1216 4) Numerous other small changes.
1217
1218 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1219
1220 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1221 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1222 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1223 forwarded to Bryan.
1224
1225 util-linux 2.8:
1226
1227 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1228
1229 1) New programs:
1230    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1231      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1232 1) Removed programs:
1233    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1234    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1235                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1236                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1237 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1238    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1239    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1240    are encouraged to send patches.
1241 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1242 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1243
1244
1245 util-linux 2.7:
1246
1247 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1248
1249 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1250    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1251
1252 2) Removed progams:
1253    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1254    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1255    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1256         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1257    - clear: Included in ncurses
1258    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1259    - lpcntl.
1260
1261 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1262    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1263    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1264    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1265      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1266    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1267      and sparc.
1268
1269 4) Problems:
1270    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1271      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1272      ways to deal with this:
1273      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1274        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1275      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1276        simple if you know C.
1277      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1278        to do this.
1279      - Use some other rpcgen.
1280
1281 util-linux 2.6.1
1282
1283 This release was never made public
1284
1285 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1286
1287 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1288 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1289 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1290   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1291 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1292 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1293   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1294   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1295   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1296 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1297 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1298
1299 Outstanding bugs:
1300 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1301 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1302 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1303   not necessarily be fixed.

1306 util-linux 2.6
1307
1308 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1309
1310 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1311    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1312
1313 1) Removed programs:
1314    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1315    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1316         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1317         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1318
1319 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1320    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1321      if you haven't already!
1322    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1323      Arm patches).
1324    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1325    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1326
1327 3) New programs:
1328    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1329    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1330      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1331      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1332      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1333      hwclock now.  Please.
1334
1335
1336 util-linux 2.5
1337
1338 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1339 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1340    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1341    Faith).
1342
1343    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1344
1345 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1346    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1347
1348     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1349         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1350         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1351     MAKEDEV-C:
1352         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1353     MAKEDEV:
1354         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1355     md5sum:
1356         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1357         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1358         version.]
1359     ksymoops:
1360         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1361
1362 2) update_state has been removed
1363 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1364    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1365    Andries Brouwer)
1366 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1367    error reporting
1368 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1369 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1370 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1371    /dev/audio if available
1372 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1373    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1374    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1375    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1376    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1377
1378
1379 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1380 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1381    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1382 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1383 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1384 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1385    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1386    write.
1387 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1388    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1389    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1390    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1391    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1392    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1393    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1394    possible.
1395 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1396 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1397 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1398 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1399 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1400 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1401     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1402     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1403 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1404 12) frag removed.  See
1405     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1406     latest version.
1407 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1408     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1409 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1410 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1411     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1412     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1413     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1414     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1415     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1416     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1417
1418              New                 Old
1419
1420         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1421         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1422         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1423
1424 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1425 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1426 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1427 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1428    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1429    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1430    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1431    directory.
1432 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1433     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1434     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1435     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1436
1437
1438 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1439
1440 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1441    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1442    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1443    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1444 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1445 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1446    readprofile
1447 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1585     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1586     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1587     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1588     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1589     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1590     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1591     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1592     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1593     which restores the -o semantics.
1594
1595     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1596     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1597     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1598     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1599     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1600     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1601     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1602     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1603     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1604     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1605     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1606     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1607     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1608     error reporting.
1609
1610     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1611     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1615     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1616     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was

1667    changes (which usually got forwarded to Rick): Carsten Paeth
1668    (calle@calle.in-berlin.de) and Kaz Sasayama (kaz@lilia.iijnet.or.jp).
