util-linux (2.32-0.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  The util-linux implementation of /bin/su is now used, replacing the
  one previously supplied by src:shadow (shipped in login package), and
  bringing Debian in line with other modern distributions. The two
  implementations are very similar but have some minor differences (and
  there might be more that was not yet noticed ofcourse), e.g.

  - new 'su' (with no args, i.e. when preserving the environment) also
    preserves PATH and IFS, while old su would always reset PATH and IFS
    even in 'preserve environment' mode.
  - new 'su -' (creating new environment) will do just that, while old
    su would always preserve content of DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY
    environment variables. Set them as needed (but beware X doesn't give
    you any real privileges separation anyway if you can access an X
    server of another user). See pam_xauth(8) if you want to reconfigure
    pam for seamless xauth keys.
  - su '' (empty user string) used to give root, but now returns an error.
  - previously su only had one pam config, but now 'su -' is configured
    separately in /etc/pam.d/su-l. This file additionally invokes
    'pam_keyinit' to revoke the session keyring.

  The first difference is probably the most user visible one. Doing
  plain 'su' is a really bad idea for many reasons, so using 'su -' is
  strongly recommended to always get a newly set up environment similar
  to a normal login. If you want to restore behaviour more similar to
  the previous one you can add 'ALWAYS_SET_PATH=yes' in /etc/default/su.

util-linux (2.29.2-3) experimental; urgency=medium

  The cfdisk, fdisk and sfdisk utilities has been split out into a
  separate fdisk package. Any package needing these utilities should
  add a dependency on: fdisk | util-linux (<< 2.29.2-3~)
  (The second part of it makes the dependency also be fulfilled in case
   of stretch-backports and should be considered optional.)

util-linux (2.25-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  The cytune command is no longer available since it has
  been removed upstream.

  Upstream Release Notes also includes these highlights:

  The "swapon --summary" output format is deprecated in favor of the
  "swapon --show[=<columns>]" that provides better control on output
  formatting.

  cfdisk(8):
  - the code been completely rewritten, now it uses libfdisk and
    libsmartcols, supports GPT, SUN, SGI and BSD disk labels
  - the command is no more based on CHS addressing

  WARNING! The fsck command is no longer built on non-linux.
  It relies on libmount, which needs porting.

util-linux (2.24.2-1) experimental; urgency=low

  This is a major update which is long overdue.
  This release attempts to unify the work that has happened upstream
  with the work that has gone on in parallell in the Debian package.

  A few things are no longer shipped since they have been removed upstream:
  ddate - convert Gregorian dates to Discordian dates
  chkdupexe - report dangling symlinks and duplicately-named binaries
