1200
1201 util-linux 2.9:
1202
1203 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1204
1205 1) Removed programs:
1206    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1207    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1208 1a) Not yet removed program:
1209    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1210      ugly man page).
1211 1b) Removed directory:
1212    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1213 2) Improvements:
1214    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1215    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1216      (i.e., uses locale)
1217    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1218    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1219    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1220    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1221    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1222    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1223      (however, I don't think it really works)
1224    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1225    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1226 3) Uglifications:
1227    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1228      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1229    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1230    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1231      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1232 4) Numerous other small changes.
1233
1234 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1235
1236 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1237 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1238 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1239 forwarded to Bryan.
1240
1241 util-linux 2.8:
1242
1243 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1244
1245 1) New programs:
1246    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1247      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1248 1) Removed programs:
1249    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1250    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1251                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1252                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1253 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1254    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1255    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1256    are encouraged to send patches.
1257 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1258 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1259
1260
1261 util-linux 2.7:
1262
1263 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1264
1265 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1266    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1267
1268 2) Removed progams:
1269    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1270    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1271    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1272         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1273    - clear: Included in ncurses
1274    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1275    - lpcntl.
1276
1277 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1278    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1279    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1280    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1281      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1282    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1283      and sparc.
1284
1285 4) Problems:
1286    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1287      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1288      ways to deal with this:
1289      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1290        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1291      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1292        simple if you know C.
1293      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1294        to do this.
1295      - Use some other rpcgen.
1296
1297 util-linux 2.6.1
1298
1299 This release was never made public
1300
1301 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1302
1303 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1304 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1305 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1306   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1307 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1308 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1309   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1310   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1311   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1312 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1313 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1314
1315 Outstanding bugs:
1316 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1317 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1318 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1319   not necessarily be fixed.

1323
1324 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1325
1326 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1327    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1328
1329 1) Removed programs:
1330    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1331    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1332         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1333         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1334
1335 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1336    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1337      if you haven't already!
1338    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1339      Arm patches).
1340    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1341    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1342
1343 3) New programs:
1344    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1345    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1346      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1347      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1348      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1349      hwclock now.  Please.
1350
1351

1388 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1389    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1390    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1391    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1392    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.

1395 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1396 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1397    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1398 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1399 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1400 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1401    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1402    write.
1403 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1404    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1405    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1406    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1407    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1408    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1409    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1410    possible.
1411 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1412 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1413 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1414 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1415 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1416 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1417     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1418     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1419 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1420 12) frag removed.  See
1421     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1422     latest version.
1423 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1424     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1425 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1426 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1427     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1428     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1429     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1430     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1431     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1432     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1433
1434              New                 Old
1435
1436         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1437         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1438         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1439
1440 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1441 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1442 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1443 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1444    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1445    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1446    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1447    directory.
1448 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1449     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1450     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1451     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1452
1453
1454 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1455
1456 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1457    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1458    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1459    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1460 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1461 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1462    readprofile
1463 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1464     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*

1601     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1602     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1603     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1604     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1605     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1606     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1607     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1608     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1609     which restores the -o semantics.
1610
1611     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1612     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1613     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1614     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1615     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1616     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1617     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1618     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1619     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1620     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1621     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1622     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1623     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1624     error reporting.
1625
1626     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1627     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1667                Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu).  I think that Theodore also
1668                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1669                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1670                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1671                is now included.

1681    Most of the changes for syslogd come from Rick Sladkey
1682    (jrs@world.std.com), but I'd like to thank other people who sent in
1683    changes (which usually got forwarded to Rick): Carsten Paeth
1684    (calle@calle.in-berlin.de) and Kaz Sasayama (kaz@lilia.iijnet.or.jp).
