1231HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1232
12331) Removed programs:
1234 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1235 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12361a) Not yet removed program:
1237 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1238 ugly man page).
12391b) Removed directory:
1240 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12412) Improvements:
1242 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1243 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1244 (i.e., uses locale)
1245 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1246 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1247 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1248 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1249 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1250 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1251 (however, I don't think it really works)
1252 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1253 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12543) Uglifications:
1255 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1256 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1257 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1258 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1259 work under DOS. (Untested.)
12604) Numerous other small changes.

1264util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1265The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1266Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
1267forwarded to Bryan.

KZ
1271HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1272
2b6fc908
KZ
12731) New programs:
1274 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1275 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
12761) Removed programs:
1277 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1278 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1279 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1280 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
12812) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1282 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1283 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1284 are encouraged to send patches.
12853) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
12864) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

KZ
1291HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1292
12931) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1294 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1295
12962) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1297 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1298 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1299 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1300 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1301 - clear: Included in ncurses
1302 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1303 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1304
13053) Bugfixes, additions:
1306 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1307 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1308 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1309 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1310 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1311 and sparc.
1312
2b6fc908 13134) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1314 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1315 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1316 ways to deal with this:
1317 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1318 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1319 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1320 simple if you know C.
1321 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1322 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1323 - Use some other rpcgen.

1325util-linux 2.6.1
1326
1327This release was never made public
1328
1329See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1330
1331This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1332will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1333- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1334 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1335- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1336- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1337 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1338 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1339 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1340- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1341- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1342
1343Outstanding bugs:
1344- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1345- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1346- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1347 not necessarily be fixed.

1350util-linux 2.6
1351
1352HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1353
13540) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1355 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1356
13571) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1358 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1359 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1360 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1361 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1362
13632) Bugfixes, additions:
1364 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1365 if you haven't already!
1366 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1367 Arm patches).
1368 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1369 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1370
13713) New programs:
1372 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1373 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1374 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1375 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1376 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1377 hwclock now. Please.

1380util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1381
1382HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
13830) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1384 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1385 Faith).
1386
1387 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1388
13891) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1390 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1391
1392 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1393 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1394 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1395 MAKEDEV-C:
1396 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1397 MAKEDEV:
1398 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1399 md5sum:
1400 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1401 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1402 version.]
1403 ksymoops:
1404 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1405
14062) update_state has been removed
14073) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1408 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1409 Andries Brouwer)
14104) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1411 error reporting
14125) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14136) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14147) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1415 /dev/audio if available
14168) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1417 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1418 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1419 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1420 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1421
1422
1423HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14240) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1425 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14261) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14272) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14283) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1429 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1430 write.
14314) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1432 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1433 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1434 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1435 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1436 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1437 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1438 possible.
14395) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14406) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14417) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14428) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14439) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
144410) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1445 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1446 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
144711) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
144812) frag removed. See
1449 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1450 latest version.
145113) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1452 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
145314) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
145415) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1455 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1456 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1457 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1458 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1459 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1460 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1461
1462 New Old
1463
1464 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1465 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1466 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1467
1468HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
14691) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
14702) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
14713) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1472 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1473 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1474 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1475 directory.
14764) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1477 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1478 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1479 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1480
1481
1482HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1483
14841) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1485 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1486 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1487 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
14882) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
14893) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1490 readprofile
14914) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1629 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1630 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1631 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1632 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1633 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1634 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1635 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1636 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1637 which restores the -o semantics.
1638
1639 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1640 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1641 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1642 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1643 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1644 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1645 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1646 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1647 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1648 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1649 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1650 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1651 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1652 error reporting.

1657historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1658 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1659 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1660 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1661 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1696 did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1697 notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1698 Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1699 is now included.
