1265 util-linux 2.9:
1266
1267 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1268
1269 1) Removed programs:
1270    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1271    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1272 1a) Not yet removed program:
1273    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1274      ugly man page).
1275 1b) Removed directory:
1276    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1277 2) Improvements:
1278    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1279    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1280      (i.e., uses locale)
1281    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1282    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1283    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1284    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1285    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1286    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1287      (however, I don't think it really works)
1288    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1289    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1290 3) Uglifications:
1291    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1292      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1293    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1294    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1295      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1296 4) Numerous other small changes.
1297
1298 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1299
1300 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1301 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1302 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1303 forwarded to Bryan.
1304
1305 util-linux 2.8:
1306
1307 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1308
1309 1) New programs:
1310    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1311      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1312 1) Removed programs:
1313    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1314    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1315                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1316                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1317 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1318    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1319    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1320    are encouraged to send patches.
1321 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1322 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1323
1324
1325 util-linux 2.7:
1326
1327 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1328
1329 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1330    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1331
1332 2) Removed progams:
1333    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1334    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1335    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1336         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1337    - clear: Included in ncurses
1338    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1339    - lpcntl.
1340
1341 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1342    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1343    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1344    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1345      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1346    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1347      and sparc.
1348
1349 4) Problems:
1350    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1351      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1352      ways to deal with this:
1353      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1354        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1355      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1356        simple if you know C.
1357      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1358        to do this.
1359      - Use some other rpcgen.
1360
1361 util-linux 2.6.1
1362
1363 This release was never made public
1364
1365 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1366
1367 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1368 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1369 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1370   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1371 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1372 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1373   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1374   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1375   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1376 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1377 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1378
1379 Outstanding bugs:
1380 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1381 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1382 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1383   not necessarily be fixed.

1386 util-linux 2.6
1387
1388 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1389
1390 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1391    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1392
1393 1) Removed programs:
1394    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1395    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1396         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1397         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1398
1399 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1400    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1401      if you haven't already!
1402    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1403      Arm patches).
1404    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1405    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1406
1407 3) New programs:
1408    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1409    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1410      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1411      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1412      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1413      hwclock now.  Please.
1414
1415
1416 util-linux 2.5
1417
1418 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1419 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1420    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1421    Faith).
1422
1423    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1424
1425 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1426    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1427
1428     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1429         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1430         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1431     MAKEDEV-C:
1432         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1433     MAKEDEV:
1434         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1435     md5sum:
1436         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1437         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1438         version.]
1439     ksymoops:
1440         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1441
1442 2) update_state has been removed
1443 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1444    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1445    Andries Brouwer)
1446 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1447    error reporting
1448 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1449 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1450 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1451    /dev/audio if available
1452 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1453    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1454    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1455    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1456    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1457
1458
1459 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1460 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1461    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1462 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1463 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1464 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1465    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1466    write.
1467 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1468    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1469    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1470    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1471    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1472    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1473    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1474    possible.
1475 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1476 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1477 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1478 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1479 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1480 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1481     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1482     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1483 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1484 12) frag removed.  See
1485     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1486     latest version.
1487 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1488     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1489 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1490 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1491     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1492     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1493     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1494     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1495     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1496     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1497
1498              New                 Old
1499
1500         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1501         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1502         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1503
1504 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1505 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1506 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1507 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1508    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1509    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1510    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1511    directory.
1512 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1513     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1514     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1515     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1516
1517
1518 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1519
1520 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1521    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1522    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1523    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1524 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1525 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1526    readprofile
1527 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1528     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1529     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1670     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1671     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1672     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1673     which restores the -o semantics.
1674
1675     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1676     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1677     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1678     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1679     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1680     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1681     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1682     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1683     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1684     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1685     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1686     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1687     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1688     error reporting.
1689
1690     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1691     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.
1692
1693 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1694     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1695     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1696     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1697     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1732                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1733                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1734                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
