1225 util-linux 2.9:
1226
1227 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1228
1229 1) Removed programs:
1230    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1231    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1232 1a) Not yet removed program:
1233    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1234      ugly man page).
1235 1b) Removed directory:
1236    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1237 2) Improvements:
1238    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1239    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1240      (i.e., uses locale)
1241    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1242    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1243    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1244    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1245    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1246    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1247      (however, I don't think it really works)
1248    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1249    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1250 3) Uglifications:
1251    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1252      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1253    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1254    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1255      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1256 4) Numerous other small changes.
1257
1258 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1259
1260 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1261 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1262 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1263 forwarded to Bryan.
1264
1265 util-linux 2.8:
1266
1267 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1268
1269 1) New programs:
1270    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1271      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1272 1) Removed programs:
1273    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1274    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1275                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1276                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1277 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1278    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1279    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1280    are encouraged to send patches.
1281 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1282 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1283
1284
1285 util-linux 2.7:
1286
1287 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1288
1289 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1290    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1291
1292 2) Removed progams:
1293    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1294    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1295    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1296         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1297    - clear: Included in ncurses
1298    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1299    - lpcntl.
1300
1301 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1302    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1303    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1304    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1305      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1306    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1307      and sparc.
1308
1309 4) Problems:
1310    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1311      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1312      ways to deal with this:
1313      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1314        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1315      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1316        simple if you know C.
1317      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1318        to do this.
1319      - Use some other rpcgen.
1320
1321 util-linux 2.6.1
1322
1323 This release was never made public
1324
1325 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1326
1327 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1328 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1329 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1330   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1331 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1332 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1333   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1334   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1335   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1336 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1337 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1338
1339 Outstanding bugs:
1340 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1341 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1342 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1343   not necessarily be fixed.

1347
1348 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1349
1350 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1351    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1352
1353 1) Removed programs:
1354    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1355    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1356         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1357         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1358
1359 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1360    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1361      if you haven't already!
1362    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1363      Arm patches).
1364    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1365    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1366
1367 3) New programs:
1368    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1369    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1370      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1371      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1372      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1373      hwclock now.  Please.

1378 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1379 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1380    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1381    Faith).
1382
1383    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1384
1385 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1386    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1387
1388     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1389         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1390         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1391     MAKEDEV-C:
1392         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1393     MAKEDEV:
1394         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1395     md5sum:
1396         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1397         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1398         version.]
1399     ksymoops:
1400         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1401
1402 2) update_state has been removed
1403 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1404    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1405    Andries Brouwer)
1406 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1407    error reporting
1408 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1409 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1410 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1411    /dev/audio if available
1412 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1413    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1414    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1415    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1416    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1417
1418
1419 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1420 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1421    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1422 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1423 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1424 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1425    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1426    write.
1427 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1428    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1429    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1430    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1431    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1432    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1433    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1434    possible.
1435 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1436 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1437 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1438 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1439 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1440 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1441     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1442     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1443 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1444 12) frag removed.  See
1445     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1446     latest version.
1447 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1448     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1449 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1450 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1451     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1452     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1453     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1454     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1455     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1456     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1457
1458              New                 Old
1459
1460         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1461         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1462         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1463
1464 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1465 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1466 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1467 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1468    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1469    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1470    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1471    directory.
1472 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1473     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1474     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1475     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1476
1477
1478 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1479
1480 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1481    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1482    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1483    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1484 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1485 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1486    readprofile
1487 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1488     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1489     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1625     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1626     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1627     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1628     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1629     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1630     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1631     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1632     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1633     which restores the -o semantics.
1634
1635     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1636     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1637     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1638     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1639     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1640     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1641     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1642     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1643     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1644     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1645     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1646     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1647     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1648     error reporting.
1649
1650     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1651     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.
1652
1653 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1654     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1655     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1656     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1657     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1692                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1693                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1694                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1695                is now included.
