1197 util-linux 2.9:
1198
1199 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1200
1201 1) Removed programs:
1202    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1203    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1204 1a) Not yet removed program:
1205    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1206      ugly man page).
1207 1b) Removed directory:
1208    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1209 2) Improvements:
1210    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1211    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1212      (i.e., uses locale)
1213    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1214    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1215    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1216    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1217    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1218    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1219      (however, I don't think it really works)
1220    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1221    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1222 3) Uglifications:
1223    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1224      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1225    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1226    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1227      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1228 4) Numerous other small changes.
1229
1230 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1231
1232 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1233 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1234 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1235 forwarded to Bryan.
1236
1237 util-linux 2.8:
1238
1239 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1240
1241 1) New programs:
1242    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1243      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1244 1) Removed programs:
1245    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1246    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1247                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1248                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1249 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1250    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1251    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1252    are encouraged to send patches.
1253 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1254 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1255
1256
1257 util-linux 2.7:
1258
1259 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1260
1261 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1262    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1263
1264 2) Removed progams:
1265    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1266    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1267    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1268         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1269    - clear: Included in ncurses
1270    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1271    - lpcntl.
1272
1273 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1274    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1275    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1276    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1277      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1278    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1279      and sparc.
1280
1281 4) Problems:
1282    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1283      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1284      ways to deal with this:
1285      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1286        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1287      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1288        simple if you know C.
1289      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1290        to do this.
1291      - Use some other rpcgen.
1292
1293 util-linux 2.6.1
1294
1295 This release was never made public
1296
1297 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1298
1299 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1300 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1301 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1302   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1303 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1304 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1305   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1306   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1307   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1308 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1309 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1310
1311 Outstanding bugs:
1312 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1313 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1314 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1315   not necessarily be fixed.

1319
1320 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1321
1322 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1323    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1324
1325 1) Removed programs:
1326    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1327    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1328         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1329         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1330
1331 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1332    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1333      if you haven't already!
1334    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1335      Arm patches).
1336    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1337    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1338
1339 3) New programs:
1340    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1341    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1342      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1343      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1344      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1345      hwclock now.  Please.
1346
1347
1348 util-linux 2.5
1349
1350 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1351 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1352    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1353    Faith).
1354
1355    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1356
1357 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1358    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1359
1360     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1361         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1362         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz

1368         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1369         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1370         version.]
1371     ksymoops:
1372         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.

1384 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1385    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1386    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1387    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1388    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.

1391 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1392 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1393    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1394 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1395 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1396 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1397    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1398    write.
1399 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1400    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1401    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1402    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1403    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1404    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1405    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1406    possible.
1407 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1408 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1409 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1410 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1411 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1412 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1413     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1414     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1415 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1416 12) frag removed.  See
1417     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1418     latest version.
1419 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1420     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1421 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1422 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1423     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1424     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1425     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1426     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1427     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1428     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1429
1430              New                 Old
1431
1432         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1433         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1434         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1435
1436 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1437 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1438 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1439 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1440    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1441    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1442    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1443    directory.
1444 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1445     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1446     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz

1448
1449
1450 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1451
1452 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1453    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1454    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1455    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1456 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1457 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1458    readprofile
1459 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1460     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*

1597     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1598     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1599     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1600     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1601     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1602     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1603     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1604     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1605     which restores the -o semantics.
1606
1607     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1608     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1609     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1610     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1611     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1612     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1613     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1614     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1615     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1616     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1617     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1618     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1619     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1620     error reporting.
1621
1622     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1623     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1627     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1628     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was

1665                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1666                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1667                is now included.

1677    Most of the changes for syslogd come from Rick Sladkey
1678    (jrs@world.std.com), but I'd like to thank other people who sent in
1679    changes (which usually got forwarded to Rick): Carsten Paeth
1680    (calle@calle.in-berlin.de) and Kaz Sasayama (kaz@lilia.iijnet.or.jp).
