+Util-linux-ng 2.14 Release Notes (09-Jun-2008)
+==============================================
+
+Release highlights
+------------------
+
+ mount(8) supports new "nofail" mount option.
+
+ mount(8) supports auto-destruction of loop devices.
+
+ losetup(8) supports new command line option "-j" to show status of all
+ loop devices associated with given file.
+
+ losetup(8) supports unlimited number of loop devices.
+
+ losetup(8) supports new command line option "--sizelimit" to set data end.
+
+ ldattach(8) command has been added to util-linux-ng. The ldattach
+ daemon opens the specified device file and attaches the line discipline
+ to it for processing of the sent and/or received data.
+
+ setterm(8) supports new command line option "-blank [force|poke]" for
+ TIOCL_{BLANKED,BLANK}SCREEN.
+
+ tailf(8) has been reimplemented to use inotify.
+
+ tailf(8) supports new command line option "-n" to specifying output lines.
+
+ mkswap(8) supports new command line option "-U" to set UUID explicitly.
+
+ fdisk(8) has been fixed to calculate partition size in 2^N.
+
+ cal(8) supports highlighting an arbitrary date.
+
+ agetty(8) makes username-in-uppercase feature optional (off by default).
+ Users who use uppercase-only terminals need to use the option "-U" now.
+
+ losetup(8), mount(8), umount(8), fdisk(8) and sfdisk(8) support static
+ linking when compiled with --enable-static-programs.
+
+ hwclock(8) supports new command line option "adjfile" to override
+ the default /etc/adjtime.
+
+ scriptreplay(1) command has been re-written from Perl to C.
+
+
+Deprecated
+----------
+
+ The losetup(8) '-s' option (introduced by util-linux-ng-2.13) is deprecated
+ now.  This short form of the option '--show' could be in collision with
+ Loop-AES losetup implementation where the same option is used for the loop
+ sizelimit.
+
+
+Fixed security issues
+---------------------
+
+ CVE-2008-1926 - audit log injection via login
+
+		 The problem was originally reported for OpenSSH few months
+                 ago (CVE-2007-3102). The login(1) is affected by the same
+                 bug when built with the option "--with-audit".
+
