+Util-linux 2.27 Release Notes
+=============================
+
+The command tailf is deprecated in favour of tail -f from coreutils.
+
+The command unshare provides a new option --propagation=slave|shared|private|unchanged
+to control propagation in mount namespaces. The default is "private" now. The
+new default unifies unshare behavior and makes it independent of distribution
+default. The unshare supports persistent namespaces too (no process has to run
+to keep namespace in existence).
+
+The command mount(8) supports read-only binds in one step by the options
+"bind,ro" (command line or fstab). This feature is implemented by additional
+remount mount(2) syscall and it is not atomic.
+
+The commands fdisk and sfdisk can be compiled with GNU readline support to
+improve their line-editing functionality.
+
+The library libsmartcols and the commands findmnt, losetup, lsblk, lslocks,
+sfdisk and lsipc provide output in JSON format.
+
+The command mkfs (deprecated in favour of mkfs.<type>) does not use hard-coded
+paths, but it follows $PATH.
+
+The command script has been massively improved to be more robust and less
+complex. Now all is implemented by one process which monitors the running
+session by poll(), signalfd(), etc.
+
+The command sulogin supports locked root accounts if the command-line option
+--force is specified. Read the sulogin man page before you use it!
+
+The command agetty reloads the prompt on address changes if network information
+is displayed.
+
+util-linux now supports and enables colors by default. It is possible to change
+this behavior with --disable-colors-default to be more user-friendly to colorblind
+people. The colors can still be enabled by editing /etc/terminal-colors.d. See
+terminal-colors.d(5).
+
+The command cfdisk displays more information about the selected partition
+(partition UUID, filesystem identifiers, mountpoint, etc.). This extra window
+can be toggled with the 'x' key.
+
+The command fdisk provides a new command 'F' to print free, unpartitioned space
+(gaps) on the disk. The same functionality is provided by sfdisk through the
+option --list-free. The fdisk command wipes the beginning of the device by
+default; the new option --protect-boot disables this behavior. The new fdisk
+command 'i' provides more information about a specified partition.
+
+The command cal supports the new options --twelve and --months <n> to display
+the next twelve or <n> months.
+
+The command rtcwake supports a new option --list-modes to list available modes,
+and a new option --date for human-readable times. rtcwake does not support
+RTC_ALM_READ and RTC_ALM_SET fallbacks any more.
+
+The util-linux code is possible rebuild with --disable-assert now.
+
+
+Security issues
+---------------
+
+CVE-2015-5224 - chfn, chsh file name collision due to incorrect mkstemp use if
+ compiled without libuser.
