    util-linux: version bumped to 2.17.
    
    Release highlights:
    
    fallocate:
      - this NEW COMMAND is a command line interface to fallocate
        Linux syscall and allows to preallocate blocks to a file.
    
    unshare
      - this NEW COMMAND is a command line interface to unshare Linux syscall
        and allows to run program with some namespaces unshared from parent.
    
    wipefs
      - this NEW COMMAND is based on libblkid and allows to remove filesystem
        or RAID signatures from a device.
    
    libblkid:
      - libblkid allows to gather information about block device topology,
        currently supported methods are:
    
          * ioctl - supported since kernel 2.6.32
          * sysfs - supported since kernel 2.6.31
          * fallback for DM, MD, LVM and EVMS on old kernels (base on code
            from xfsprogs/libdisk)
    
        The topology support is mostly designed for mkfs programs or partitioning
        tools (already used in mkfs.xfs, mkex2fs, libparted and fdisk)
    
      - libblkid supports partition tables parsing (currently supported are
        aix, bsd, dos, mac, gpt, minix, sgi, solaris, sun and unixware). This
        functionality is designed for mkfs programs, DeviceKits, [k]partx or so.
    
      - libblkid API documentation is available at
        http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/libblkid-docs/
    
    blockdev:
       - supports all new topology ioctls
    
    fdisk:
       - the fdisk command aligns newly created partitions to minimum_io_size
         boundary ("minimum_io_size" is physical sector size or stripe chunk
         size on RAIDs).
    
       - the fdisk command supports disks with alignment_offset now.
