+Util-linux 2.28 Release Notes
+=============================
+
+Now cfdisk, sfdisk and fdisk wipe all filesystem and RAID signatures when
+creating a new disk label in interactive mode. It's possible to control this
+feature with --wipe[=auto|never|always]. For non-terminals the feature is
+disabled by default.
+
+lsns -- this NEW COMMAND lists information about all currently accessible
+namespaces or about the given namespace.
+
+The command sfdisk supports new operations --delete, --move-data and --reorder.
+
+The command blkdiscard supports a new option --zeroout to zero-fill rather than
+discard a specified area.
+
+The command cal supports a new option --span to span the date when displaying
+multiple months (e.g. "cal --span --months 5" to display two months before and
+two months after the current month).
+
+The command chrt supports the DEADLINE scheduling class and the new options
+--sched-runtime --sched-period and --sched-deadline.
+
+The command logger supports RFC 5424 structured data through the new options
+--sd-id and --sd-param.
+
+The command losetup supports a new option --direct-io[=on|off].
+
+The command lsblk allows to sort output by unprinted columns (e.g. lsblk
+--output NAME --sort SIZE).
+
+The command mount applies the nofail mount option to ENOMEDIUM errors.
+
+The commands nsenter and unshare support a new option --cgroup for work with
+cgroups namespaces (CLONE_NEWCGROUP).
+
+The library libmount has been improved to properly detect already mounted btrfs
+subvolumes.
+
+The library libsmartcols has been massively improved to print table ranges,
+multi-line cells, table titles and to support continuous printing.
+
+The package build system and code have been improved to be more portable to
+non-Linux systems (BSD, OSX).
+
+The package does not provide fallback solutions for openat-family functions
+anymore.
+
+The python binding for libsmartcols is available in separate project at
+https://github.com/ignatenkobrain/python-smartcols.
+
+
+Security issues
+---------------
+
+CVE-2016-2779
+
+This security issue is NOT FIXED yet. It is possible to disable the ioctl
+TIOCSTI by setsid() only. Unfortunately, setsid() has well-defined use cases
+in su(1) and runuser(1) and any changes would introduce regressions. It seems
+we need a better way -- ideally another ioctl (or whatever is supported by the
+kernel) to disable TIOCSTI without setsid().
+
+
+Stable maintenance releases between v2.27 and v2.28
