+
+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+   - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since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 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
+The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
+Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
+forwarded to Bryan.
+
+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*

+
+    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.
