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= 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 +--------------------------------------------------- + +util-linux 2.33.1 [Jan 1 2019] + + * https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.33/v2.33.1-ReleaseNotes + https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.33/v2.33.1-ChangeLog + +util-linux 2.33.2 [Apr 4 2019] + + * https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.33/v2.33.2-ReleaseNotes + https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.33/v2.33.2-ChangeLog + + +Changes between v2.33 and v2.34 +------------------------------- + +agetty: + -
