+Util-linux-ng 2.13 Release Notes (28-Aug-2007)
+===============================================
+
+Release highlights:
+------------------
+
+ mount(8) doesn't include NFS client code anymore. Don't forget to
+ install nfs-utils 1.1.0 or newer with /sbin/[u]mount.{nfs,nfs4}.
+
+ mount(8) doesn't include filesystem detection code anymore. You
+ have to compile --with-fsprobe={blkid,volume_id}, and libblkid
+ (e2fsprogs) or libvolume_id (udev >= v110) is required.
+
+ mount(8) supports new relatime, context, fscontext, and defcontext
+ mount options.
+
+ losetup(8) supports command line option "-a" to list all used loop
+ devices, '-s' to print a device name if "-f" and a file argument
+ are present, and "-r" to create a read-only loop device.
+
+ fdisk(8) Sun label support has been improved. fdisk(8) is also able
+ to warn about detected GPT (fdisk doesn't support GPT).
+
+ taskset(1) is independent on hardcoded NR_CPUS. chrt(1) supports
+ SCHED_BATCH scheduling policy.
+
+ The package build system is now based on autotools. The build system
+ supports separate CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for suid programs (SUID_CFLAGS,
+ SUID_LDFLAGS). For more details see the README file
+
+ hwclock(8) supports command line option --rtc=<path> and /dev/rtc0
+ device. --systohc functionality has been improved, and it doesn't cause
+ a 500ms inaccuracy each time it is used.
+
+ Audit system support (--with-audit) has been added to hwclock(8) and
+ login(1).
+
+ SELinux support (--with-selinux) has been added to mkswap(8) and
+ mount(8).
+
+ setarch(8) upstream has been merged with util-linux-ng.
+
+ rtcwake(8) command has been added to util-linux-ng.
+
+ arch(1) is deprecated in favor of "uname -m" or arch(1) from coreutils
+ (>= 6.9+). The util-linux-ng package doesn't build arch by default,
+ you have to use the option --enable-arch.
+
+
+Fixed security issues:
+---------------------
+
+ CVE-2007-0822 - mount(8) allows local users to trigger a NULL
+ dereference and an application crash
+ CVE-2006-7108 - login(1) omits PAM account validation when auth is
+ skipped
+

+ ldattach(8) command has been added to util-linux-ng. The ldattach
+ daemon opens the specified device file and attaches the line discipline
+ to it for processing of the sent and/or received data.
+
+ setterm(8) supports new command line option "-blank [force|poke]" for
+ TIOCL_{BLANKED,BLANK}SCREEN.
+
+ tailf(8) has been reimplemented to use inotify.
+
+ tailf(8) supports new command line option "-n" to specifying output lines.
+
+ mkswap(8) supports new command line option "-U" to set UUID explicitly.
+
+ fdisk(8) has been fixed to calculate partition size in 2^N.
+
+ cal(8) supports highlighting an arbitrary date.
+
+ agetty(8) makes username-in-uppercase feature optional (off by default).
+ Users who use uppercase-only terminals need to use the option "-U" now.
+
+ losetup(8), mount(8), umount(8), fdisk(8) and sfdisk(8) support static
+ linking when compiled with --enable-static-programs.
+
+ hwclock(8) supports new command line option "adjfile" to override
+ the default /etc/adjtime.
+
+ scriptreplay(1) command has been re-written from Perl to C.
+
+
+Deprecated
+----------
+
+ The losetup(8) '-s' option (introduced by util-linux-ng-2.13) is deprecated
+ now. This short form of the option '--show' could be in collision with
+ Loop-AES losetup implementation where the same option is used for the loop
+ sizelimit.
+
+
+Fixed security issues
+---------------------
+
+ CVE-2008-1926 - audit log injection via login
+
+ The problem was originally reported for OpenSSH few months
+ ago (CVE-2007-3102). The login(1) is affected by the same
+ bug when built with the option "--with-audit".

+Util-linux-ng 2.15 Release Notes (05-May-2009)
+==============================================
+
+Release highlights
+------------------
+
+mkswap(8):
+ - mkswap like many others mkfs-like utils ERASES THE FIRST BLOCKS on
+ the device to remove old on-disk filesystems. mkswap refuses to
+ erase the first block on a device with a disk label (SUN, BSD, ...)
+ or on whole disk (e.g. /dev/sda).
+
+ - DOES NOT SUPPORT v0 SWAP SPACE any more. The kernel has not
+ supported v0 swap space format since 2.5.22. The new version v1 is
+ supported since 2.1.117.
+
+swapon(8):
+ - supports new command line option "-f/--fixpg" to reinitialize the
+ swap space with a wrong pagesize. As swap format depends on the pagesize
+ being used, it may happen that the pagesize of the swap space and the
+ current pagesize differ.
+
+login(1):
+ - requires /etc/pam.d/remote when compiled with PAM support and
+ executed with "-h <hostname>" option. The "-h" option is used by other
+ servers (i.e., telnetd(8)) to pass the name of the remote host to login.
+
+cal(1):
+ - determines the first day of week from the locale.
+
+libblkid, blkid(8) and findfs(8):
+ The libblkid library has been moved from e2fsprogs to util-linux-ng. The
+ library has been extended and now includes:
+
+ - low-level probing API that is useful for example for udev rules
+ (cmdline: blkid -p -o udev <device>)
+
+ - very high-level API that provides portable interface for LABELs and
+ UUIDs evaluation on 2.4, 2.6 and udev-based system. It's recommended
+ to use "blkid -L|-U" in your scripts rather than directly read
+ /dev/disk/by-* symlinks.
+
+ - the old ABI and API is backwardly compatible with the current version
+ from e2fsprogs.
+
+ All utils (mount, swapon, fsck, ...) in the package is possible to link
+ against this new library, or the old version from e2fsprogs, or
+ libvolume_id from udev package.
+
+ The default is still libblkid from e2fsprogs. The new library could be
+ enabled by "--with-fsprobe=builtin" configure option.
+
+ The libvolume_id from udev and vol_id command is deprecated now.
+
+fsck(8):
+ - has been moved to from e2fsprogs to util-linux-ng.
+
+dmesg(1)
+ - supports new command line option "-r" to print the raw message buffer
+ (i.e. don’t strip the log level prefixes).
+
+flock(1):
+ - allows lock directory
+
+fsck.cramfs:
+ - automatically detects the image endianness, and can work on images of
+ either endianness.
+
+mkfs.cramfs:
+ - now accepts a new optional parameter (-N) that allows creating
+ the cramfs image in either endianness.
+
+renice(1):
+ - supports new command line option "-n" for compatibility with POSIX
+
+hwclock(8)
+ - supports new command line option "--systz" to reset the System Time
+ based on the current timezone. Since the system clock time is already
+ set from the hardware clock by the kernel (when compiled with
+ CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS), there's no particular need to read the hardware
+ clock again.
+
+ionice(1):
+ - supports new command line option "-t" option to ignore failure to set
+ requested priority. This might be of use in case something (selinux,
+ old kernel, etc.) does not allow the requested scheduling priority
+ to be set.
+
+ - the command line option "-p" handles multiple PIDs now.
+
+losetup(8):
+ - detaches more devices by "-d <loop> [<loop> ..]"
+
+ipcmk(1):
+ - this NEW COMMAND allows to create ad-hoc IPC resources.
+
+lscpu(1):
+ - this NEW COMMAND gathers CPU architecture information like number
+ of CPUs, threads, cores, sock, NUMA nodes, information about CPU
+ caches, information about hypervisor and virtualization support,
+ ..etc. and prints it in human-readable or parse-able format.
+
+namei(1):
+ - supports new command line options --owners, --long and --vertical
+ to print ls(1)-like output.

+Util-linux-ng 2.17 Release Notes (08-Jan-2010)
+==============================================
+
+Release highlights
+------------------
+
+fallocate:
+ - this NEW COMMAND is a command line interface to fallocate
+ Linux syscall and allows to preallocate blocks to a file.
+
+unshare
+ - this NEW COMMAND is a command line interface to unshare Linux syscall
+ and allows to run program with some namespaces unshared from parent.
+
+wipefs
+ - this NEW COMMAND is based on libblkid and allows to remove filesystem
+ or RAID signatures from a device.
+
+libblkid:
+ - libblkid allows to gather information about block device topology,
+ currently supported methods are:
+
+ * ioctl - supported since kernel 2.6.32
+ * sysfs - supported since kernel 2.6.31
+ * fallback for DM, MD, LVM and EVMS on old kernels (base on code
+ from xfsprogs/libdisk)
+
+ The topology support is mostly designed for mkfs programs or partitioning
+ tools (already used in mkfs.xfs, mkex2fs, libparted and fdisk)
+
+ - libblkid supports partition tables parsing (currently supported are
+ aix, bsd, dos, mac, gpt, minix, sgi, solaris, sun and unixware). This
+ functionality is designed for mkfs programs, DeviceKits, [k]partx or so.
+
+ - libblkid API documentation is available at
+ http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/libblkid-docs/
+
+blockdev:
+ - supports all new topology ioctls
+
+fdisk:
+ - the fdisk command aligns newly created partitions to minimum_io_size
+ boundary ("minimum_io_size" is physical sector size or stripe chunk
+ size on RAIDs).
+
+ - the fdisk command supports disks with alignment_offset now.

+Util-linux-ng 2.18 Release Notes
+================================
+
+The util-linux-ng package does not contain rdev(8), ramsize(8),
+vidmode(8) and rootflags(8) anymore.
+
+The fdisk(8) command does not use DOS-compatible mode and cylinders as display
+units by default. The old deprecated DOS behavior could be enabled by 'c' and
+'u' fdisk commands or from command line by '-c=dos -u=cylinders' options.
+
+Release highlights
+------------------
+
+libmount:
+ - this NEW LIBRARY is designed to be used in low-level utils like
+ mount(8) and /sbin/mount.<type> helpers as well as in some other
+ projects.
+
+ - the library API is still officially unstable. The library provides
+ fstab, mtab and mountinfo parser, routines for work with parsed
+ data and mount options, mtab locking, etc. The high-level API for
+ mount(2) is planned for the next major release. For more details see:
+ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/3239
+
+ - the utils like mount(8) or umount(8) are not linked with the library
+ yet. This change is planned for util-linux-ng-2.19.
+
+findmnt(8):
+ - this NEW COMMAND is a command line interface to the libmount library
+ for work with mountinfo, fstab and mtab files
+
+fsfreeze(8):
+ - this NEW COMMAND is very simple wrapper around FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctls
+
+swaplabel(8):
+ - this NEW COMMAND allows to change swaparea UUID and label
+
+blkid(8):
+ - supports new command line option "-i" to print I/O Limits
+
+ - supports new command line option "-n" to restrict probing functions to
+ defined list of superblock types (names).
+
+ - returns details from partition table (type, flags, uuid, ...)
+
+chrt(1):
+ - supports new command line option "-R/--reset-on-fork" to enable
+ SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag
+
+fdisk(8):
+ - supports new command line option "-c" to switch off DOS mode
+ - uses 1MiB offset for the first partition
+ (all these changes are already in the release 2.17.2)
+
+hwclock(8):
+ - supports new command line option "--predict" to predict what the RTC will
+ read at time given by the --date option based on the adjtime file.
+
+ldattach(8):
+ - supports new command line option "-i/--iflag" to sets the specified bits
+ in the c_iflag word of the serial line.
+
+fallocate(1), losetup(8) and mount(8):
+ - the options --offset, --length or --sizelimit support suffixes
+ (MiB, GiB, ...) and hex numbers
+
+umount(8):
+ - supports new command line option "--fake" to avoid umount(2) syscall
+

+Util-linux 2.19 Release Notes (10-Feb-2011)
+===========================================
+
+The util-linux-ng project has been renamed back to util-linux.
+
+Release highlights
+------------------
+
+lsblk(8):
+ - this NEW COMMAND lists information about all or selected block devices in
+ tree-like format.
+
+partx(8):
+ - this command has been rewritten to use libblkid for partition tables
+ parsing. It supports aix, bsd, dos, gpt, mac, minix, sgi, solaris_x86, sun,
+ ultrix and unixware now.
+
+ - supports new command line option "--show" to list partitions in new format
+
+ - prints UUID and name for GPT and mac partitions
+
+findmnt(8):
+ - supports new command line option "--submounts" to list all submounts for
+ selected mountpoint(s)
+
+agetty(8):
+ - supports new command line options "-c" and "-s" to reuse already initialized
+ tty cflags and existing baud rate
+
+mount(8), umount(8):
+ - could be linked with libmount (--enable-libmount-mount) to manage userspace
+ mount options outside /etc/mtab on systems where the file is a symlink to
+ /proc/mounts. (EXPERIMENTAL)
+
+losetup(8), mount(8):
+ - uses /sys/dev/block/<device>/loop/backing_file rather than loopdev ioctls
+ (requires kernel >= 2.6.37)
+
+fsck(8):
+ - supports new command line option "-l" to lock whole-disk device by
+ exclusive flock(2). This option is recommended when more fsck(8) instances
+ are executed in the same time.
+
+rtcwake(8):
+ - supports new mode "show" to print the current RTC alarm time
+
+fstrim(8):
+ - this NEW COMMAND allows to discard unused blocks on a mounted filesystem
+ (wrapper for FITRIM ioctl)
+
+swapon(8):
+ - supports new options "discard" and "nofail"
+
+blkid(8):
+ - low-level probing (-p) returns "8" exit code for ambivalent probing results
+
+libmount:
+ - include file has been renamed from mount/mount.h to libmount/libmount.h
+
+
