+Util-linux 2.34 Release Notes
+=============================
+
+Release highlights
+------------------
+
+hardlink -- NEW COMMAND to consolidate duplicate files via hardlinks has been
+merged into util-linux. The new command is not enabled by default. The original
+author is Jakub Jelinek.
+
+The command lsblk(8) has been rewritten. Now it keeps all hierarchy of the block
+devices in memory before it's printed. It allows to modify or reorder the graph.
+The new features based on this functionality are:
+
+ * output de-duplication by --dedup, for example 'lsblk --dedup WWN' to
+ de-duplicate devices by WWN number (e.g. multi-path devices)
+
+ * merge repeating parts of the tree by --merge, see for example:
+ http://karelzak.blogspot.com/2018/11/lsblk-merge.html
+
+The command umount(8) now supports user unmount for FUSE mounts. The requirement
+is FUSE specific user_id=<uid> in /proc/self/mountinfo for the filesystem.
+
+The command mount(8) now allows to use "--all -o remount". In this case all
+filters (-t and -O) are applied to the table of already mounted filesystems.
+
+The command su(1) now prefers /etc/default/su over /etc/login.defs and
+ENV_SUPATH over ENV_ROOTPATH. The option --pty has been improved and it is not
+marked as experimental anymore.
+
+The command unshare(1) now allows set user ID and group ID by new command line
+options -S/--setuid and -G/--setgid; and new options -R/--root and -w/--wd
+allows to set root and working directory (like nsenter(1)).
+
+The command lscpu(1) now prints 'Frequency boost' and 'Vulnerability' fields.
+The caches calculation has been modified to print summary from all system caches
+rather than per code numbers.
+
+The command logger(1) merges multiple MESSAGE= lines into one journald message.
+
+The library libblkid now does not depend on libuuid and newly supports DRBD9
+detection.
+
+The libsmartcols has been extended to support N:M relationships when print
+tree-like output. This new feature is used by new lsblk --merge output.
+
+The systemd services for fstrim and uuidd now contains hardening settings to
+improve security and service isolation.
+
+The command fstrim now trims also root filesystem on --fstab and checks for
+read-only filesystems on --all and --fstab.
+
+The package build-system now accepts --enable-asan to compile commands and
+execute regression tests with addresses sanitizer.
+
+
+Stable maintenance releases between v2.33 and v2.34
