    util-linux: version bumped to 2.14.
    
    Changes:
    
    - mount(8) supports new "nofail" mount option.
    - mount(8) supports auto-destruction of loop devices.
    - losetup(8) supports new command line option "-j" to show status of all
      loop devices associated with given file.
    - losetup(8) supports unlimited number of loop devices.
    - losetup(8) supports new command line option "--sizelimit" to set data end.
    - ldattach(8) command has been added to util-linux-ng. The ldattach
      daemon opens the specified device file and attaches the line discipline
      to it for processing of the sent and/or received data.
    - setterm(8) supports new command line option "-blank [force|poke]" for
      TIOCL_{BLANKED,BLANK}SCREEN.
    - tailf(8) has been reimplemented to use inotify.
    - tailf(8) supports new command line option "-n" to specifying output lines.
    - mkswap(8) supports new command line option "-U" to set UUID explicitly.
    - fdisk(8) has been fixed to calculate partition size in 2^N.
    - cal(8) supports highlighting an arbitrary date.
    - agetty(8) makes username-in-uppercase feature optional (off by default).
      Users who use uppercase-only terminals need to use the option "-U" now.
    - losetup(8), mount(8), umount(8), fdisk(8) and sfdisk(8) support static
      linking when compiled with --enable-static-programs.
    - hwclock(8) supports new command line option "adjfile" to override
      the default /etc/adjtime.
    - scriptreplay(1) command has been re-written from Perl to C.
    
    Deprecated:
    
     The losetup(8) '-s' option (introduced by util-linux-ng-2.13) is deprecated
     now.  This short form of the option '--show' could be in collision with
     Loop-AES losetup implementation where the same option is used for the loop
     sizelimit.
    
    Fixed security issues:
    
     CVE-2008-1926 - audit log injection via login
    
    		 The problem was originally reported for OpenSSH few months
                     ago (CVE-2007-3102). The login(1) is affected by the same
                     bug when built with the option "--with-audit".
