1209 util-linux 2.9:
1210
1211 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1212
1213 1) Removed programs:
1214    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1215    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1216 1a) Not yet removed program:
1217    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1218      ugly man page).
1219 1b) Removed directory:
1220    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1221 2) Improvements:
1222    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1223    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1224      (i.e., uses locale)
1225    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1226    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1227    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1228    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1229    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1230    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1231      (however, I don't think it really works)
1232    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1233    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1234 3) Uglifications:
1235    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1236      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1237    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1238    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1239      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1240 4) Numerous other small changes.
1241
1242 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1243
1244 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1245 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1246 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1247 forwarded to Bryan.
1248
1249 util-linux 2.8:
1250
1251 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1252
1253 1) New programs:
1254    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1255      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1256 1) Removed programs:
1257    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1258    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1259                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1260                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1261 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1262    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1263    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1264    are encouraged to send patches.
1265 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1266 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1267
1268
1269 util-linux 2.7:
1270
1271 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1272
1273 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1274    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1275
1276 2) Removed progams:
1277    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1278    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1279    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1280         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1281    - clear: Included in ncurses
1282    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1283    - lpcntl.
1284
1285 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1286    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1287    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1288    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1289      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1290    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1291      and sparc.
1292
1293 4) Problems:
1294    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1295      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1296      ways to deal with this:
1297      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1298        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1299      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1300        simple if you know C.
1301      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1302        to do this.
1303      - Use some other rpcgen.
1304
1305 util-linux 2.6.1
1306
1307 This release was never made public
1308
1309 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1310
1311 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1312 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1313 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1314   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1315 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1316 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1317   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1318   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1319   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1320 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1321 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1322
1323 Outstanding bugs:
1324 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1325 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1326 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1327   not necessarily be fixed.

1331
1332 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1333
1334 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1335    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1336
1337 1) Removed programs:
1338    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1339    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1340         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1341         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1342
1343 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1344    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1345      if you haven't already!
1346    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1347      Arm patches).
1348    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1349    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1350
1351 3) New programs:
1352    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1353    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1354      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1355      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1356      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1357      hwclock now.  Please.
1358
1359

1388    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1389    Andries Brouwer)
1390 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1391    error reporting
1392 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1393 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1394 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1395    /dev/audio if available
1396 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1397    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1398    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1399    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1400    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.

1403 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1404 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1405    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1406 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1407 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1408 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1409    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1410    write.
1411 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1412    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1413    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1414    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1415    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1416    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1417    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1418    possible.
1419 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1420 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1421 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1422 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1423 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1424 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1425     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1426     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1427 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1428 12) frag removed.  See
1429     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1430     latest version.
1431 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1432     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1433 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1434 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1435     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1436     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1437     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1438     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1439     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1440     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1441
1442              New                 Old
1443
1444         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1445         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1446         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1447
1448 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1449 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1450 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1451 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1452    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1453    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1454    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1455    directory.
1456 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1457     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1458     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1459     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1460
1461
1462 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1463
1464 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1465    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1466    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1467    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1468 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1469 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1470    readprofile
1471 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1472     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*

1609     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1610     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1611     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1612     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1613     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1614     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1615     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1616     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1617     which restores the -o semantics.
1618
1619     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1620     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1621     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1622     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1623     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1624     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1625     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1626     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1627     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1628     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1629     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1630     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1631     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1632     error reporting.
1633
1634     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1635     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1673     setserial: Michael K. Johnson (johnsonm@stolaf.edu) re-released Rick
1674                Sladkey's setserial in January 1993, with changes by
1675                Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu).  I think that Theodore also
1676                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1677                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1678                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1679                is now included.

1689    Most of the changes for syslogd come from Rick Sladkey
1690    (jrs@world.std.com), but I'd like to thank other people who sent in
1691    changes (which usually got forwarded to Rick): Carsten Paeth
