+Util-linux 2.35 Release Notes
+=============================
+
+Release highlights
+------------------
+
+agetty(8) now provides a new command-line option --show-issue to print issue
+file(s) on the current terminal in the same way how it will be printed when
+agetty(8) executed regularly.
+
+agetty(8) supports /run/issue and /usr/lib/issue files and directrories now.
+
+dmesg(1) escapes unprintable and potentially unsafe characters by default. The
+new command-line option --noescape disables this feature.
+
+kill(1) now uses pidfd kernel feature to implement a new command-line option
+--timeout. The option allows sending a sequence of follow-up signals with
+defined timeouts without the possibility of race.
+
+script(1) now used the same PTY code as su(1) --pty. script(1) has also been
+massively extended to support new logging features like log signals, stdin or
+additional session information. The new features are implemented by the new
+timing file format. The changes are backwardly compatible, and the original
+timing file format is still the default.
+
+scriptreplay(1) now allows to extract stdin or session summary from script(1)
+logs.
+
+scriptlive(1) this NEW COMMAND re-execute stdin log by a shell in PTY session.
+
+mount(8) and libmount now provides built-in dm-verity support if linked with
+libcryptsetup. This new feature is EXPERIMENTAL and disabled by default; use
+--with-cryptsetup to enable.
+
+libmount now uses poll() syscall to verify /proc/self/mountinfo file consistence
+and it re-read the file if modified during previous read call.
+
+mount(8) now provides a new command-line option --target-prefix to mount, for
+example, fstab to an alternative location. This feature is usable, for example,
+for chroots or containers.
+
+mount(8) now allows to use -o together with --all, for example, "mount --all
+-o ro --target-prefix /foo" will mount real-only all filesystems from fstab to
+/foo.
+
+lsblk(8) provides new columns FSVER (filesystem version) and PARTTYPENAME
+(human-readable partition type).
+
+lsblk(8) reads device properties from /dev/<devname> text file when executed
+with --sysroot. This is usable for tests and dumps.
+
+sfdisk(8) uses progress bar for --move-data and data move is now significantly
+faster than in previous versions as it does not use fsync during the data move
+(use --move-use-fsync to disable this feature).
+
+
