1278
1279 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1280
1281 1) Removed programs:
1282    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1283    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1284 1a) Not yet removed program:
1285    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1286      ugly man page).
1287 1b) Removed directory:
1288    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1289 2) Improvements:
1290    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1291    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1292      (i.e., uses locale)
1293    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1294    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1295    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1296    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1297    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1298    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1299      (however, I don't think it really works)
1300    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1301    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1302 3) Uglifications:
1303    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1304      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1305    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1306    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1307      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1308 4) Numerous other small changes.
1309
1310 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1311
1312 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1313 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1314 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1315 forwarded to Bryan.
1316
1317 util-linux 2.8:
1318
1319 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1320
1321 1) New programs:
1322    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1323      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1324 1) Removed programs:
1325    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1326    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1327                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1328                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1329 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1330    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1331    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1332    are encouraged to send patches.
1333 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1334 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1335

1337 util-linux 2.7:
1338
1339 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1340
1341 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1342    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1343
1344 2) Removed progams:
1345    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1346    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1347    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1348         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1349    - clear: Included in ncurses
1350    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1351    - lpcntl.
1352
1353 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1354    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1355    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1356    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1357      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1358    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1359      and sparc.
1360
1361 4) Problems:
1362    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1363      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1364      ways to deal with this:
1365      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1366        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1367      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1368        simple if you know C.
1369      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1370        to do this.
1371      - Use some other rpcgen.
1372
1373 util-linux 2.6.1
1374
1375 This release was never made public
1376
1377 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1378
1379 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1380 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1381 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1382   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1383 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1384 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1385   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1386   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1387   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1388 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1389 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1390
1391 Outstanding bugs:
1392 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1393 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1394 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1395   not necessarily be fixed.

1398 util-linux 2.6
1399
1400 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1401
1402 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1403    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1404
1405 1) Removed programs:
1406    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1407    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1408         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1409         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1410
1411 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1412    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1413      if you haven't already!
1414    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1415      Arm patches).
1416    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1417    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1418
1419 3) New programs:
1420    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1421    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1422      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1423      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1424      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1425      hwclock now.  Please.
1426
1427
1428 util-linux 2.5
1429
1430 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1431 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1432    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1433    Faith).
1434
1435    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1436
1437 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1438    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1439
1440     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1441         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1442         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1443     MAKEDEV-C:
1444         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1445     MAKEDEV:
1446         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1447     md5sum:
1448         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1449         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1450         version.]
1451     ksymoops:
1452         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1453
1454 2) update_state has been removed
1455 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1456    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1457    Andries Brouwer)
1458 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1459    error reporting
1460 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1461 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1462 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1463    /dev/audio if available
1464 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1465    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1466    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1467    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1468    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1469
1470
1471 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1472 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1473    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1474 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1475 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1476 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1477    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1478    write.
1479 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1480    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1481    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1482    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1483    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1484    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1485    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1486    possible.
1487 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1488 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1489 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1490 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1491 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1492 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1493     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1494     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1495 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1496 12) frag removed.  See
1497     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1498     latest version.
1499 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1500     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1501 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1502 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1503     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1504     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1505     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1506     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1507     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1508     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1509
1510              New                 Old
1511
1512         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1513         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1514         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1515
1516 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1517 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1518 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1519 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1520    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1521    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1522    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1523    directory.
1524 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1525     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1526     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1527     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1528
1529
1530 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1531
1532 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1533    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1534    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1535    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1536 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1537 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1538    readprofile
1539 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1540     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1541     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1669            (kashmir@umiacs.umd.edu).  With changes so that damaging escape
1670            sequences cannot be sent.

1677     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1678     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1679     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1680     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1681     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1682     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1683     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1684     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1685     which restores the -o semantics.
1686
1687     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1688     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1689     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1690     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1691     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1692     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1693     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1694     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1695     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1696     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1697     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1698     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1699     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1700     error reporting.
1701
1702     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1703     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1705 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1706     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1707     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1708     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1709     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1744                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1745                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1746                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1747                is now included.
