+Util-linux 2.26 Release Notes
+=============================
+
+ This version provides completely new sfdisk(8) command, the new version is
+ based on libfdisk. If your use-cases depend on sfdisk(8) then it is strongly
+ recommended to be careful and re-test your scripts. The new version supports
+ MBR and GPT disk labels (SGI and SUN are also supported but no well tested).
+ The new version does no more support some obscure MBR specific command line
+ options and legacy CHS addressing.
+
+
+ The library libblkid (and blkid(8) on command line) now uses the same UDF
+ fields like Windows and another operations systems to get human readable
+ UDF volume identifiers (LABEL= tag). This change maybe backwardly incompatible
+ for some UDF volumes.
+
+
+ The command hwlock(8) uses the drift correction for all relevant operations
+ and it is unnecessary to specify --adjuts on hwlock command line now.
+
+ The command hwclock(8) does not automatically (re)calculate drift factor on
+ --systohc to avoid several problem (ntpd with an '11 minute mode', etc.), but
+ new command line option --update-drift has to be explicitly used to force
+ hwclock(8) to update /etc/adjtime.
+
+ For more details see hwclock(8) man page.
+
+
+Release highlights
+------------------
+
+zramctl(8):
+ - this NEW COMMAND allows to control /dev/zramN devices
+
+agetty(8):
+ - supports new options --reload to force already running agetty processes to
+ reprint /etc/issue file.
+
+cfdisk(8), sfdisk(8) and fdisk(8):
+ - supports sfdisk compatible scripts, it's possible to save your partitioning
+ layout to text files and (re)use it in all fdisks.
+
+fdisk(8), sfdisk(8):
+ - support new command line option "--output <list>" to specify output columns
+ for --list or print commands.
+
+nsenter(1):
+ - has been updated to work with the latest kernel changes in user namespaces
+ - supports new command line option --preserve-credentials
+
+unshare(1):
+ - has been updated to work with the latest kernel changes in user namespaces
+ - suuports new command line option "--setgroups=<deny|allow>"
+
+swapon(8):
+ - supports new command line option "-o <list>" with the same semantic like
+ -o for mount(8); now it's possible to specify swap options on command line
+ by the same string like in fstab
+
+fdformat(8):
+ - supports new command line options --from/to to specify tracks and --repear
+ for broken floppies.
+
+getopt(1):
+ - has been updated to the latest version (originally maintained out of
+ util-linux) and refactored.
+
+ldattach(8):
+ - has been improved to support GSM0710 and intro modem commands
+
+logger(1):
+ - supports new command line option --id= to specify PID (or another ID)
+ - allows to specify --rfc3164 or --rfc5424 syslog protocols
+
+libfdisk:
+ - the library is distributed as shared library with stable API and standard
+ header file.
+
+libmount:
+ - provides new simple API to monitor mount table changes (including
+ changes in userspace mount options).
+
+
+The debug infrastructure in libraries libmount, libsmartcolsm, libfdisk and
+libblkid allows to specify debug options by human readable strings too. For
+example "LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=all mount /mnt".
