Util-linux 2.37 Release Notes
=============================
 
Release highlights
------------------

This project no more uses Groff to maintain man-pages. Since v2.37 all text is
maintained in AsciiDoc and man-pages are generated by asciidoctor to man-pages
during the package build process (see also --disable-asciidoc configure
option). Thanks to Mario Blättermann.           
                                                
The long-term goal is to maintain also man-page translations (via
translationproject.org and po4a) in the util-linux project. Please, contact
Mario Blättermann if you're want to help with the conversion from
manpages-l10n.
                                                
The old hardlink(1) implementation from Jakub Jelinek (originally for Fedora)
has been replaced by a new implementation from Julian Andres Klode (originally
for Debian). The new implementation does not support -f option to force
hardlinks creation between filesystem.          
                                                
lscpu(1) has been reimplemented. Now it analyzes /sys for all CPUs and provides
information for all CPU types used by the system (for example heterogeneous
big.LITTLE ARMs, etc.). This command reads also SMBIOS tables to get CPU
identifiers. Thanks to Masayoshi Mizuma from Fujitsu and Jeffrey Bastian from
Red Hat.  The default output on the terminal is more structured now to be more
human-readable. 
                                                
uclampset(1) is new util to manipulate the utilization clamping attributes of
the system or a process. Thanks to Qais Yousef from ARM.
                                                
hexdump(1) automatically uses -C when called as "hd".
                                                
dmesg(1) supports new command-line options --since and --until.
                                                
findmnt(8) supports new command-line options --shadowed to print only
filesystems over-mounted by another filesystem. 
                                                
mount(8) supports --read-only command-line option for non-root users too.
                                                
umount(8) can umount also all over-mounted filesystems (more filesystems on the
the same mount point) when executed with --recursive.
                                                
libfdisk (and fdisk, sfdisk, cfdisk) supports partition type names on input,
ignoring the case of the characters and all non-alphanumeric and non-digit
characters in the name (e.g. type="Linux /usr x86" is the same as type="linux
usr-x86" for sfdisk).                           
                                                
libmount no more contains a workaround to detect inconsistent
/proc/self/mountinfo read. This problem is fixed by the Linux kernel now.
                                                
libblkid supports "probing hints" now. The hints are the optional way how to
force probing functions to check for example another location -- for example
specific session on multi-session UDF. The command blkid(8) supports this
functionality with a new --hint option. The library has been also extended to
support others ISO9660 and UDF identifiers. Thanks to Pali Rohár.

blkzone(8) provides a new "capacity" command.
 
cfdisk(8) is possible to start in read-only mode by a new command-line option
--read-only
 
lsblk(8) provides new columns FSROOTS, and MOUNTTARGETS. The column
MOUNTTARGETS is used in the default output now and this new column prints all
mount points where the device is used (btrfs subvolumes, bind mounts, etc).
 
losetup(8) uses LOOP_CONFIG ioctl now.
 
column(1) supports a new command-line option --table-columns-limit to specify a
maximal number of the input columns. The last column will contain all remaining
line data if the limit is smaller than the number of the columns in the input
data.
 
It's possible to use meson to build util-linux. This feature is experimental
and currently designed only for developers. No panic, the current primary
autotools-based build process will be supported, maintained, and used as
primary for next years.
