+
+util-linux 2.9h:
+
+* mount recognizes "uid=useruid" and "gid=usergid" in /etc/fstab.
+* documented the fact that "mount -t smb" will call /sbin/mount.smb.
+* mount gives clear error message when fstab does not end in newline.
+* swapon checks mode of file
+* cfdisk got a more specific exit status (Enrique Zanardi)
+
+util-linux 2.9g:

+* added setlocale() to login-utils/chfn.c
+* do not recompute MAIL in login-utils/login.c
+
+util-linux 2.9:
+
+HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
+
+1) Removed programs:
+ - strings. There is a version in binutils.
+ - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
+1a) Not yet removed program:
+ - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
+ ugly man page).
+1b) Removed directory:
+ - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
+2) Improvements:
+ - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
+ - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
+ (i.e., uses locale)
+ - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
+ - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
+ - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
+ - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
+ - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
+ - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
+ (however, I don't think it really works)
+ - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
+ - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
+3) Uglifications:
+ - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
+ <linux/swap.h> does not compile
+ - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
+ - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
+ work under DOS. (Untested.)
+4) Numerous other small changes.
+
+0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
+
+util-linux 2.8:
+
+HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
+
+1) New programs:
+ - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
+ Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
+1) Removed programs:
+ - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
+ - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
+ work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
+ (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
+2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
+ a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
+ and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
+ are encouraged to send patches.
+3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
+4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
+
+
+util-linux 2.7:
+
+HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
+
+1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
+ converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
+
+2) Removed progams:
+ - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
+ - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
+ - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
+ setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
+ - clear: Included in ncurses
+ - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
+ - lpcntl.
+
+3) Bugfixes, additions:
+ - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
+ - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
+ - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
+ plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
+ - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
+ and sparc.
+
+4) Problems:
+ - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
+ packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
+ ways to deal with this:
+ - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
+ (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
+ - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
+ simple if you know C.
+ - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
+ to do this.
+ - Use some other rpcgen.
+
+util-linux 2.6.1
+
+This release was never made public
+
+See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
+
+This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
+will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
+- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
+ ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
+- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
+- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
+ should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
+ use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
+ the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
+- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
+- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
+
+Outstanding bugs:
+- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
+- Several places needs a bit more polish.
+- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
+ not necesarily be fixed.
+
+
+util-linux 2.6
+
+HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
+
+0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
+ UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
+
+1) Removed programs:
+ - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
+ - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered. It is available at
+ tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
+ sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
+
+2) Bugfixes, additions:
+ - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
+ if you haven't already!
+ - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
+ Arm patches).
+ - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
+ - others too numerous to enumerate.
+
+3) New programs:
+ - vigr (it's like vipw)
+ - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
+ clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
+ system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
+ obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
+ hwclock now. Please.
+
+
+util-linux 2.5
+
+HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
+0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
+ help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
+ Faith).
+
+ PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
+
+1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
+ canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
+
+ timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
+ elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
+ elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
+ MAKEDEV-C:
+ sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
+ MAKEDEV:
+ sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
+ md5sum:
+ prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
+ [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
+ version.]
+ ksymoops:
+ Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
+
+2) update_state has been removed
+3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
+ <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
+ Andries Brouwer)
+4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
+ error reporting
+5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
+6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
+7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
+ /dev/audio if available
+8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
+ from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
+ locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
+ and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
+ updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
+
+
+HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
+0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
+ while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
+1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
+2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
+3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
+ this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
+ write.
+4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
+ had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
+ to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
+ releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
+ table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
+ However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
+ this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
+ possible.
+5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
+6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
+7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
+8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
+9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
+10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
+ Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
+ (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
+11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
+12) frag removed. See
+ sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
+ latest version.
+13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
+ (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
+14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
+15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
+ some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
+ ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
+ link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
+ are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
+ bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
+ the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
+
+ New Old
+
+ /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
+ /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
+ /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
+
+HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
+1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
+2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
+3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
+ sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
+ For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
+ util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
+ directory.
+4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
+ ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
+ sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
+ tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
+
+
+HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
+
+1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
+ use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
+ things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
+ install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
+2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
+3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
+ readprofile
+4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
+ fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
+ pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

+mount:
+ mount, umount, swapon
+
+ Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
+ Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
+ package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
+ with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
+ Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
+ <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
+ supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
+ a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
+ which restores the -o semantics.
+
+ Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
+ extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
+ optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
+ Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
+ not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
+ (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
+ device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
+ (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
+ unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
+ Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
+ readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
+ <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
+ before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
+ error reporting.
+
+ Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
+ (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others.
+
+historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
+ <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
+ Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
+ were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
+ modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
