1270
1271 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1272
1273 1) Removed programs:
1274    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1275    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1276 1a) Not yet removed program:
1277    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1278      ugly man page).
1279 1b) Removed directory:
1280    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1281 2) Improvements:
1282    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1283    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1284      (i.e., uses locale)
1285    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1286    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1287    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1288    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1289    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1290    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1291      (however, I don't think it really works)
1292    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1293    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1294 3) Uglifications:
1295    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1296      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1297    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1298    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1299      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1300 4) Numerous other small changes.
1301
1302 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1303
1304 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1305 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1306 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1307 forwarded to Bryan.
1308
1309 util-linux 2.8:
1310
1311 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1312
1313 1) New programs:
1314    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1315      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1316 1) Removed programs:
1317    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1318    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1319                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1320                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1321 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1322    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1323    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1324    are encouraged to send patches.
1325 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1326 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1327
1328
1329 util-linux 2.7:
1330
1331 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1332
1333 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1334    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1335
1336 2) Removed progams:
1337    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1338    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1339    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1340         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1341    - clear: Included in ncurses
1342    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1343    - lpcntl.
1344
1345 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1346    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1347    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1348    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1349      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1350    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1351      and sparc.
1352
1353 4) Problems:
1354    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1355      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1356      ways to deal with this:
1357      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1358        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1359      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1360        simple if you know C.
1361      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1362        to do this.
1363      - Use some other rpcgen.
1364
1365 util-linux 2.6.1
1366
1367 This release was never made public
1368
1369 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1370
1371 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1372 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1373 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1374   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1375 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1376 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1377   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1378   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1379   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1380 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1381 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1382
1383 Outstanding bugs:
1384 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1385 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1386 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1387   not necessarily be fixed.

1390 util-linux 2.6
1391
1392 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1393
1394 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1395    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1396
1397 1) Removed programs:
1398    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1399    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1400         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1401         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1402
1403 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1404    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1405      if you haven't already!
1406    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1407      Arm patches).
1408    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1409    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1410
1411 3) New programs:
1412    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1413    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1414      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1415      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1416      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1417      hwclock now.  Please.
1418
1419
1420 util-linux 2.5
1421
1422 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1423 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1424    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1425    Faith).
1426
1427    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1428
1429 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1430    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1431
1432     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1433         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1434         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1435     MAKEDEV-C:
1436         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1437     MAKEDEV:
1438         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1439     md5sum:
1440         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1441         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1442         version.]
1443     ksymoops:
1444         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1445
1446 2) update_state has been removed
1447 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1448    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1449    Andries Brouwer)
1450 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1451    error reporting
1452 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1453 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1454 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1455    /dev/audio if available
1456 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1457    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1458    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1459    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1460    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1461
1462
1463 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1464 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1465    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1466 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1467 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1468 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1469    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1470    write.
1471 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1472    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1473    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1474    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1475    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1476    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1477    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1478    possible.
1479 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1480 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1481 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1482 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1483 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1484 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1485     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1486     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1487 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1488 12) frag removed.  See
1489     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1490     latest version.
1491 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1492     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1493 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1494 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1495     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1496     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1497     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1498     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1499     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1500     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1501
1502              New                 Old
1503
1504         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1505         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1506         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1507
1508 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1509 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1510 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1511 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1512    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1513    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1514    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1515    directory.
1516 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1517     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1518     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1519     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1520
1521
1522 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1523
1524 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1525    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1526    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1527    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1528 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1529 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1530    readprofile
1531 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1532     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1533     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1671     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1672     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1673     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1674     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1675     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1676     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1677     which restores the -o semantics.
1678
1679     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1680     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1681     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1682     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1683     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1684     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1685     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1686     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1687     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1688     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1689     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1690     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1691     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1692     error reporting.
1693
1694     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1695     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.
1696
1697 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1698     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1699     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1700     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1701     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1736                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1737                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1738                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
