1298
1299 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1300
1301 1) Removed programs:
1302    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1303    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1304 1a) Not yet removed program:
1305    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1306      ugly man page).
1307 1b) Removed directory:
1308    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1309 2) Improvements:
1310    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1311    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1312      (i.e., uses locale)
1313    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1314    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1315    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1316    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1317    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1318    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1319      (however, I don't think it really works)
1320    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1321    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1322 3) Uglifications:
1323    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1324      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1325    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1326    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1327      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1328 4) Numerous other small changes.
1329
1330 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no

1346    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1347                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1348                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1349 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1350    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1351    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1352    are encouraged to send patches.
1353 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1354 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1355
1356
1357 util-linux 2.7:
1358
1359 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1360
1361 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1362    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1363
1364 2) Removed programs:
1365    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1366    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1367    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1368         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1369    - clear: Included in ncurses
1370    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1371    - lpcntl.
1372
1373 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1374    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1375    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1376    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1377      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1378    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1379      and sparc.
1380
1381 4) Problems:
1382    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1383      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1384      ways to deal with this:
1385      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1386        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1387      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1388        simple if you know C.
1389      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1390        to do this.
1391      - Use some other rpcgen.
1392
1393 util-linux 2.6.1
1394
1395 This release was never made public
1396
1397 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1398
1399 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1400 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1401 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1402   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1403 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1404 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1405   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1406   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1407   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1408 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1409 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1410
1411 Outstanding bugs:
1412 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1413 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1414 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1415   not necessarily be fixed.
1416
1417
1418 util-linux 2.6
1419
1420 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1421
1422 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1423    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1424
1425 1) Removed programs:
1426    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1427    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1428         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1429         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1430
1431 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1432    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1433      if you haven't already!
1434    - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1435      Arm patches).
1436    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1437    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1438
1439 3) New programs:
1440    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1441    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1442      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1443      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1444      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1445      hwclock now.  Please.
1446
1447
1448 util-linux 2.5
1449
1450 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1451 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1452    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1453    Faith).
1454
1455    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1456
1457 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1458    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1459
1460     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1461         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1462         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1463     MAKEDEV-C:
1464         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1465     MAKEDEV:
1466         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1467     md5sum:
1468         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1469         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1470         version.]
1471     ksymoops:
1472         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1473
1474 2) update_state has been removed
1475 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1476    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1477    Andries Brouwer)
1478 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1479    error reporting
1480 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1481 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1482 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1483    /dev/audio if available
1484 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1485    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1486    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1487    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1488    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1489
1490
1491 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1492 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1493    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1494 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1495 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1496 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1497    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1498    write.
1499 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1500    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1501    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1502    related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1503    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1504    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1505    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1506    possible.
1507 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1508 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1509 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1510 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1511 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1512 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1513     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1514     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1515 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1516 12) frag removed.  See
1517     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1518     latest version.
1519 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1520     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1521 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1522 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1523     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1524     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1525     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1526     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1527     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1528     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1529
1530              New                 Old
1531
1532         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1533         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1534         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1535
1536 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1537 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1538 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1539 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1540    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1541    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1542    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1543    directory.
1544 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1545     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1546     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1547     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1548
1549
1550 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1551
1552 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1553    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1554    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1555    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1556 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1557 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1558    readprofile
1559 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1560     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1561     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1697     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1698     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1699     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1700     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1701     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1702     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1703     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1704     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1705     which restores the -o semantics.
1706
1707     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1708     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1709     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1710     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1711     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1712     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1713     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1714     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1715     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1716     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1717     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1718     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1719     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1720     error reporting.
1721
1722     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1723     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1725 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1726     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1727     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1728     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1729     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1766                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
