1298
1299HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1300
13011) Removed programs:
1302 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1303 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
13041a) Not yet removed program:
1305 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1306 ugly man page).
13071b) Removed directory:
1308 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
13092) Improvements:
1310 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1311 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1312 (i.e., uses locale)
1313 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1314 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1315 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1316 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1317 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1318 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1319 (however, I don't think it really works)
1320 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1321 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
13223) Uglifications:
1323 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1324 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1325 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1326 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1327 work under DOS. (Untested.)
13284) Numerous other small changes.

1339HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1340
2b6fc908
KZ
13411) New programs:
1342 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1343 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13441) Removed programs:
1345 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1346 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1347 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1348 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
13492) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1350 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1351 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1352 are encouraged to send patches.
13533) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
13544) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

fd6b7a7f
KZ
1360
13611) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1362 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1363
73afd3f8 13642) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1365 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1366 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1367 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1368 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1369 - clear: Included in ncurses
1370 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1371 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1372
13733) Bugfixes, additions:
1374 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1375 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1376 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1377 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1378 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1379 and sparc.
1380
2b6fc908 13814) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1382 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1383 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1384 ways to deal with this:
1385 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1386 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1387 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1388 simple if you know C.
1389 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1390 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1391 - Use some other rpcgen.

1394
1395This release was never made public
1396
1397See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1398
1399This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1400will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1401- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1402 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1403- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1404- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1405 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1406 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1407 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1408- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1409- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1410
1411Outstanding bugs:
1412- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1413- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1414- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1415 not necessarily be fixed.

1419
1420HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1421
14220) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1423 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1424
14251) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1426 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1427 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1428 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1429 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1430
14312) Bugfixes, additions:
1432 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1433 if you haven't already!
73afd3f8 1434 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1435 Arm patches).
1436 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1437 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1438
14393) New programs:
1440 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1441 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1442 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1443 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1444 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1445 hwclock now. Please.

726f69e2
KZ
1449
1450HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
14510) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1452 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1453 Faith).
1454
1455 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1456
14571) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1458 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1459
1460 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1461 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1462 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz

1467 md5sum:
1468 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1469 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1470 version.]
1471 ksymoops:
1472 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1473
14742) update_state has been removed
14753) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1476 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1477 Andries Brouwer)
14784) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1479 error reporting
14805) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14816) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14827) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1483 /dev/audio if available
14848) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1485 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1486 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1487 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1488 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1489
1490
1491HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14920) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1493 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14941) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14952) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14963) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1497 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1498 write.
14994) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1500 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1501 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
73afd3f8 1502 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
726f69e2
KZ
1503 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1504 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1505 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1506 possible.
15075) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
15086) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
15097) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
15108) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
15119) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
151210) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1513 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1514 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
151511) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
151612) frag removed. See
1517 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1518 latest version.
151913) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1520 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
152114) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
152215) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1523 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1524 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1525 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1526 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1527 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1528 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1529
1530 New Old
1531
1532 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1533 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1534 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1535
1536HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
15371) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
15382) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
15393) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1540 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1541 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1542 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1543 directory.
15444) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1545 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1546 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1547 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1548
1549
1550HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1551
15521) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1553 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1554 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1555 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15562) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15573) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1558 readprofile
15594) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1697 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1698 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1699 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1700 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1701 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1702 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1703 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1704 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1705 which restores the -o semantics.
1706
1707 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1708 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1709 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1710 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1711 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1712 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1713 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1714 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1715 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1716 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1717 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1718 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1719 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1720 error reporting.

1727 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1728 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1729 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
