+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.
