Util-linux 2.26 Release Notes
=============================

This version provides a completely new sfdisk(8) command; the new version is
based on libfdisk. If your use cases depend on sfdisk(8), then it is strongly
recommended to be careful and re-test your scripts. The new version supports
MBR and GPT disk labels (SGI and SUN are also supported but not well tested).
The new version no longer supports some obscure MBR-specific command-line
options nor legacy CHS addressing.


The library libblkid (and blkid(8) on the command line) now uses the same UDF
fields as Windows and other operating systems in order to get human-readable
UDF volume identifiers (LABEL= tag). This change may be backwardly incompatible
for some UDF volumes.


The command hwclock(8) uses the drift correction for all relevant operations
and it is unnecessary to specify --adjust on the hwclock command line now.

The command hwclock(8) does not automatically (re)calculate the drift factor on
--systohc to avoid several problems (ntpd with '11 minute mode', for example),
but the new command-line option --update-drift has to be explicitly used to
force hwclock(8) to update /etc/adjtime.

For more details see the hwclock(8) man page.


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

zramctl(8):
- this NEW COMMAND allows to control /dev/zramN devices

agetty(8):
- supports new option --reload to force already running agetty processes to
reprint the /etc/issue file

cfdisk(8), sfdisk(8) and fdisk(8):
- support sfdisk-compatible scripts; it's possible to save your partitioning
layout to text files and (re)use it in all fdisks

fdisk(8), sfdisk(8):
- support new command-line option "--output <list>" to specify output columns
for --list or print commands

nsenter(1):
- has been updated to work with the latest kernel changes in user namespaces
- supports new command-line option --preserve-credentials

unshare(1):
- has been updated to work with the latest kernel changes in user namespaces
- supports new command-line option "--setgroups=<deny|allow>"

swapon(8):
- supports new command-line option "-o <list>" with the same semantics as
-o for mount(8); it's now possible to specify swap options on the command
line by the same string as in fstab

fdformat(8):
- supports new command-line options --from and --to to specify tracks and
--repair for broken floppies

getopt(1):
- has been updated to the latest version (originally maintained outside of
util-linux) and refactored

ldattach(8):
- has been improved to support GSM0710 and intro modem commands

logger(1):
- supports new command-line option --id= to specify PID (or another ID)
- allows to specify --rfc3164 or --rfc5424 syslog protocols

libfdisk:
- the library is distributed as a shared library with a stable API and a
standard header file

libmount:
- provides a new simple API to monitor mount-table changes (including
changes in userspace mount options)


The debug infrastructure in the libraries libmount, libsmartcolsm, libfdisk and
libblkid allows to specify debug options by human-readable strings too. For
example "LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=all mount /mnt".
