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.
