1348
1349util-linux 2.9:
1350
1351HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1352
13531) Removed programs:
1354   - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1355   - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
13561a) Not yet removed program:
1357   - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1358     ugly man page).
13591b) Removed directory:
1360   - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
13612) Improvements:
1362   - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1363   - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1364     (i.e., uses locale)
1365   - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1366   - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1367   - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1368   - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1369   - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1370   - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1371     (however, I don't think it really works)
1372   - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1373   - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
13743) Uglifications:
1375   - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1376     <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1377   - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1378   - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1379     work under DOS. (Untested.)
13804) Numerous other small changes.
1381
13820xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1383
1384util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1385The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1386Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1387forwarded to Bryan.
1388
1389util-linux 2.8:
1390
1391HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1392
13931) New programs:
1394   - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1395     Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13961) Removed programs:
1397   - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1398   - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1399		work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1400		(see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
14012) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1402   a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1403   and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1404   are encouraged to send patches.
14053) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
14064) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1407
1408
1409util-linux 2.7:
1410
1411HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1412
14131) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1414   converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1415
14162) Removed programs:
1417   - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1418   - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1419   - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1420	setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1421   - clear: Included in ncurses
1422   - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1423   - lpcntl.
1424
14253) Bugfixes, additions:
1426   - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1427   - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1428   - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1429     plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1430   - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1431     and sparc.
1432
14334) Problems:
1434   - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1435     packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1436     ways to deal with this:
1437     - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1438       (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1439     - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1440       simple if you know C.
1441     - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1442       to do this.
1443     - Use some other rpcgen.
1444
1445util-linux 2.6.1
1446
1447This release was never made public
1448
1449See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1450
1451This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1452will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1453- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1454  ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1455- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1456- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1457  should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1458  use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1459  the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1460- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1461- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1462
1463Outstanding bugs:
1464- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1465- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1466- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1467  not necessarily be fixed.
1468
1469
1470util-linux 2.6
1471
1472HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1473
14740) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1475   UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1476
14771) Removed programs:
1478   - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1479   - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1480	tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1481	sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1482
14832) Bugfixes, additions:
1484   - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1485     if you haven't already!
1486   - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1487     Arm patches).
1488   - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1489   - others too numerous to enumerate.
1490
14913) New programs:
1492   - vigr (it's like vipw)
1493   - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1494     clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1495     system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1496     obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1497     hwclock now.  Please.
1498
1499
1500util-linux 2.5
1501
1502HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
15030) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1504   help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1505   Faith).
1506
1507   PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1508
15091) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1510   canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1511
1512    timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1513        elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1514        elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1515    MAKEDEV-C:
1516        sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1517    MAKEDEV:
1518        sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1519    md5sum:
1520        prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1521        [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1522        version.]
1523    ksymoops:
1524        Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1525
15262) update_state has been removed
15273) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1528   <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1529   Andries Brouwer)
15304) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1531   error reporting
15325) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
15336) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
15347) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1535   /dev/audio if available
15368) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1537   from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1538   locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1539   and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1540   updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1541
1542
1543HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
15440) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1545   while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
15461) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
15472) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
15483) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1549   this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1550   write.
15514) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1552   had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1553   to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1554   related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1555   table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1556   However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1557   this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1558   possible.
15595) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
15606) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
15617) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
15628) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
15639) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
156410) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1565    Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1566    (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
156711) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
156812) frag removed.  See
1569    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1570    latest version.
157113) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1572    (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
157314) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
157415) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1575    some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1576    ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1577    link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1578    are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1579    bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1580    the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1581
1582             New                 Old
1583
1584        /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1585        /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1586        /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1587
1588HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
15891) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
15902) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
15913) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1592   sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1593   For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1594   util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1595   directory.
15964) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1597    ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1598    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1599    tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1600
1601
1602HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1603
16041) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1605   use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1606   things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1607   install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
16082) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
16093) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1610   readprofile
16114) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1612    fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1613    pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1749    Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1750    Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1751    package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1752    with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1753    Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1754    <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1755    supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1756    a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1757    which restores the -o semantics.
1758
1759    Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1760    extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1761    optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1762    Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1763    not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1764    (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1765    device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1766    (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1767    unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1768    Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1769    readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1770    <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1771    before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1772    error reporting.
1773
1774    Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1775    (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1777historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1778    <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1779    Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1780    were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1781    modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1816               did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1817               notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1818               Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
