1165 util-linux 2.9:
1166
1167 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1168
1169 1) Removed programs:
1170    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1171    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1172 1a) Not yet removed program:
1173    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1174      ugly man page).
1175 1b) Removed directory:
1176    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1177 2) Improvements:
1178    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1179    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1180      (i.e., uses locale)
1181    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1182    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1183    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1184    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1185    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1186    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1187      (however, I don't think it really works)
1188    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1189    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1190 3) Uglifications:
1191    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1192      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1193    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1194    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1195      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1196 4) Numerous other small changes.
1197
1198 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1199
1200 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1201 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1202 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1203 forwarded to Bryan.
1204
1205 util-linux 2.8:
1206
1207 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1208
1209 1) New programs:
1210    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1211      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1212 1) Removed programs:
1213    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1214    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1215                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1216                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1217 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1218    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1219    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1220    are encouraged to send patches.
1221 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1222 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1223
1224
1225 util-linux 2.7:
1226
1227 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1228
1229 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1230    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1231
1232 2) Removed progams:
1233    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1234    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1235    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1236         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1237    - clear: Included in ncurses
1238    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1239    - lpcntl.
1240
1241 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1242    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1243    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1244    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1245      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1246    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1247      and sparc.
1248
1249 4) Problems:
1250    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1251      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1252      ways to deal with this:
1253      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1254        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1255      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1256        simple if you know C.
1257      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1258        to do this.
1259      - Use some other rpcgen.
1260
1261 util-linux 2.6.1
1262
1263 This release was never made public
1264
1265 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1266
1267 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1268 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1269 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1270   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1271 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1272 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1273   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1274   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1275   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1276 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1277 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1278
1279 Outstanding bugs:
1280 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1281 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1282 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1283   not necesarily be fixed.
1284
1285
1286 util-linux 2.6
1287
1288 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1289
1290 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1291    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1292
1293 1) Removed programs:
1294    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1295    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered.  It is available at
1296         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1297         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1298
1299 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1300    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1301      if you haven't already!
1302    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1303      Arm patches).
1304    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1305    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1306
1307 3) New programs:
1308    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1309    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1310      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1311      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1312      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1313      hwclock now.  Please.
1314
1315
1316 util-linux 2.5
1317
1318 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1319 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1320    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1321    Faith).
1322
1323    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1324
1325 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1326    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1327
1328     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1329         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1330         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1331     MAKEDEV-C:
1332         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1333     MAKEDEV:
1334         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1335     md5sum:
1336         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1337         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1338         version.]
1339     ksymoops:
1340         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1341
1342 2) update_state has been removed
1343 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1344    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1345    Andries Brouwer)
1346 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1347    error reporting
1348 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1349 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1350 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1351    /dev/audio if available
1352 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1353    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1354    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1355    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1356    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1357
1358
1359 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1360 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1361    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1362 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1363 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1364 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1365    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1366    write.
1367 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1368    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1369    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1370    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1371    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1372    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1373    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1374    possible.
1375 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1376 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1377 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1378 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1379 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1380 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1381     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1382     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1383 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1384 12) frag removed.  See
1385     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1386     latest version.
1387 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1388     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1389 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1390 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1391     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1392     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1393     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1394     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1395     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1396     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1397
1398              New                 Old
1399
1400         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1401         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1402         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1403
1404 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1405 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1406 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1407 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1408    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1409    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1410    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1411    directory.
1412 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1413     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1414     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1415     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1416
1417
1418 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1419
1420 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1421    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1422    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1423    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1424 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1425 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1426    readprofile
1427 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1565     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1566     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1567     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1568     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1569     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1570     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1571     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1572     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1573     which restores the -o semantics.
1574
1575     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1576     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1577     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1578     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1579     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1580     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1581     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1582     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1583     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1584     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1585     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1586     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1587     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1588     error reporting.
1589
1590     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1591     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1595     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1596     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1597     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.
