1241util-linux 2.9:
1242
1243HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1244
12451) Removed programs:
1246 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1247 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
12481a) Not yet removed program:
1249 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1250 ugly man page).
12511b) Removed directory:
1252 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
12532) Improvements:
1254 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1255 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1256 (i.e., uses locale)
1257 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1258 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1259 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1260 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1261 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1262 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1263 (however, I don't think it really works)
1264 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1265 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
12663) Uglifications:
1267 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1268 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1269 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1270 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1271 work under DOS. (Untested.)
12724) Numerous other small changes.
1273

KZ
1283HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1284
2b6fc908
KZ
12851) New programs:
1286 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1287 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
12881) Removed programs:
1289 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1290 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1291 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1292 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
12932) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1294 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1295 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1296 are encouraged to send patches.
12973) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
12984) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

KZ
1303HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1304
13051) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1306 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1307
13082) Removed progams:
5c36a0eb 1309 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1310 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1311 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1312 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1313 - clear: Included in ncurses
1314 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1315 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1316
13173) Bugfixes, additions:
1318 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1319 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1320 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1321 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1322 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1323 and sparc.
1324
2b6fc908 13254) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1326 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1327 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1328 ways to deal with this:
1329 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1330 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1331 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1332 simple if you know C.
1333 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1334 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1335 - Use some other rpcgen.

1337util-linux 2.6.1
1338
1339This release was never made public
1340
1341See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1342
1343This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1344will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1345- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1346 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1347- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1348- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1349 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1350 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1351 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1352- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1353- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1354
1355Outstanding bugs:
1356- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1357- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1358- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1359 not necessarily be fixed.

1363
1364HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1365
13660) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1367 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1368
13691) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1370 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1371 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1372 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1373 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1374
13752) Bugfixes, additions:
1376 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1377 if you haven't already!
1378 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1379 Arm patches).
1380 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1381 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1382
13833) New programs:
1384 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1385 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1386 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1387 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1388 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1389 hwclock now. Please.

1392util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1393
1394HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
13950) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1396 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1397 Faith).
1398
1399 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1400
14011) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1402 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1403
1404 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1405 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1406 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1407 MAKEDEV-C:

1409 MAKEDEV:
1410 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1411 md5sum:
1412 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1413 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1414 version.]
1415 ksymoops:
1416 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1417
14182) update_state has been removed
14193) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1420 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1421 Andries Brouwer)
14224) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1423 error reporting
14245) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14256) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14267) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1427 /dev/audio if available
14288) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1429 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1430 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1431 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1432 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1433
1434
1435HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14360) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1437 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14381) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14392) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
14403) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1441 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1442 write.
14434) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1444 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1445 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1446 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1447 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1448 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1449 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1450 possible.
14515) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
14526) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
14537) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
14548) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
14559) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
145610) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1457 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1458 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
145911) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
146012) frag removed. See
1461 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1462 latest version.
146313) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1464 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
146514) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
146615) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1467 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1468 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1469 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1470 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1471 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1472 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1473
1474 New Old
1475
1476 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1477 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1478 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1479
1480HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
14811) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
14822) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
14833) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1484 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1485 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1486 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1487 directory.
14884) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1489 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz

1491 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1492
1493
1494HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1495
14961) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1497 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1498 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1499 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15002) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15013) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1502 readprofile
15034) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1504 fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*

1641 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1642 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1643 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1644 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1645 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1646 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1647 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1648 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1649 which restores the -o semantics.
1650
1651 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1652 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1653 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1654 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1655 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1656 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1657 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1658 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1659 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1660 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1661 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1662 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1663 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1664 error reporting.

1671 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1672 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1673 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
