Util-linux 2.24 Release Notes
=============================

This is the last release where the old non-libmount mount(8) implementation
is supported and maintained.

Release highlights
------------------

fdisk(8):
 - the code has been completely refactored and moved to libfdisk
   (the library does not have a stable API yet)
 - user interface has been unified for all label types and it supports colors
 - GPT disk UUID, partition UUID and partition name modification is supported now

pylibmount:
 - this new library provides PYTHON BINDINGS for libmount;
   use --with-python[=2|3] to enable the bindings

last(1) and lastb(1):
 - the NEW IMPLEMENTATION has been merged from sysvinit to util-linux and
   extended; now it supports command line options --present, --since, and
   --time-format
 - use --enable-deprecated-last to enable the old util-linux last(1) implementation

swapon(8):
 - the option --discard= and fstab mount option discard= allow to explicitly
   specify 'pages' or 'once' discard policy. If no policy is selected, the
   default behavior is to enable both. See swapon.8 man page for more details.

libblkid and blkid(8):
 - supports LOGUUID= for external logs (e.g. extN and XFS)
 - generates a pseudo PARTUUID= for MBR partitions (based on MBR Id, Linux kernel
   supports the same concept for root= command line option)

agetty(8):
 - supportes new issue file \S escape code to read information from /etc/os-release
 - the option -L allows to completely control CLOCAL flag

dmesg(1):
 - supports new command line option --time-format to specify time format
 - supports new iso-8601 time format

hexdump(1):
 - supports long options now

wall(1):
 - the command is compatible with sysvinit implementation now

logger(1):
 - supports new command line option --prio-prefix when logging stdin

lscpu(1):
 - allows to detect more hypervisor types and provides info about Max
   and Min CPU Mhz

unshare(8):
 - supports new command line options --fork and --mount-proc for
   pid namespaces

wipefs(8):
  - now wipes superblocks with incorrect checksums too
  - supports new command line option --backup to backup erased data to
    $HOME/wipefs-<devname>-<offset>.bak

nologin(8):
  - this command has been merged into util-linux, the command politely
    refuses a login.
