1257util-linux 2.9:
1258
1259HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1260
12611) Removed programs:
1262 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1263 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12641a) Not yet removed program:
1265 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1266 ugly man page).
12671b) Removed directory:
1268 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12692) Improvements:
1270 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1271 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1272 (i.e., uses locale)
1273 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1274 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1275 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1276 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1277 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1278 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1279 (however, I don't think it really works)
1280 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1281 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12823) Uglifications:
1283 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1284 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1285 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1286 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1287 work under DOS. (Untested.)
12884) Numerous other small changes.

KZ
1299HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1300
2b6fc908
KZ
13011) New programs:
1302 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1303 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13041) Removed programs:
1305 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1306 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1307 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1308 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
13092) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1310 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1311 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1312 are encouraged to send patches.
13133) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
13144) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

1319HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1320
13211) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1322 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1323
13242) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1325 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1326 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1327 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1328 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1329 - clear: Included in ncurses
1330 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1331 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1332
13333) Bugfixes, additions:
1334 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1335 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1336 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1337 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1338 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1339 and sparc.
1340
2b6fc908 13414) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1342 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1343 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1344 ways to deal with this:
1345 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1346 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1347 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1348 simple if you know C.
1349 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1350 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1351 - Use some other rpcgen.

1353util-linux 2.6.1
1354
1355This release was never made public
1356
1357See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1358
1359This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1360will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1361- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1362 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1363- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1364- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1365 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1366 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1367 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1368- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1369- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1370
1371Outstanding bugs:
1372- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1373- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1374- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1375 not necessarily be fixed.

1380HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1381
13820) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1383 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1384
13851) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1386 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1387 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1388 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1389 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1390
13912) Bugfixes, additions:
1392 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1393 if you haven't already!
1394 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1395 Arm patches).
1396 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1397 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1398
13993) New programs:
1400 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1401 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1402 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1403 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1404 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1405 hwclock now. Please.

KZ
1409
1410HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
14110) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1412 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1413 Faith).
1414
1415 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1416
14171) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1418 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1419
1420 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1421 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1422 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz

1425 MAKEDEV:
1426 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1427 md5sum:
1428 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1429 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1430 version.]
1431 ksymoops:
1432 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1433
14342) update_state has been removed
14353) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1436 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1437 Andries Brouwer)
14384) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1439 error reporting
14405) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14416) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14427) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1443 /dev/audio if available
14448) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1445 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1446 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1447 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1448 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1449
1450
1451HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14520) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1453 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14541) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14552) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14563) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1457 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1458 write.
14594) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1460 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1461 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1462 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1463 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1464 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1465 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1466 possible.
14675) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14686) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14697) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14708) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14719) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
147210) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1473 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1474 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
147511) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
147612) frag removed. See
1477 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1478 latest version.
147913) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1480 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
148114) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
148215) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1483 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1484 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1485 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1486 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1487 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1488 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1489
1490 New Old
1491
1492 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1493 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1494 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1495
1496HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
14971) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
14982) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
14993) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1500 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1501 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1502 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1503 directory.
15044) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1505 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz

1507 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1508
1509
1510HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1511
15121) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1513 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1514 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1515 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15162) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15173) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1518 readprofile
15194) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1657 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1658 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1659 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1660 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1661 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1662 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1663 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1664 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1665 which restores the -o semantics.
1666
1667 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1668 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1669 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1670 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1671 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1672 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1673 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1674 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1675 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1676 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1677 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1678 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1679 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1680 error reporting.

1687 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1688 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1689 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
