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().
