    util-linux: version bumped to 2.18.
    
    The util-linux-ng package does not contain rdev, ramsize,
    vidmode and rootflags anymore.
    
    The fdisk(8) command does not use DOS-compatible mode and cylinders as display
    units by default. The old deprecated DOS behavior could be enabled by 'c' and
    'u' fdisk commands or from command line by '-c=dos -u=cylinders' options.
    
    Release highlights
    ------------------
    
    libmount:
      - this NEW LIBRARY is designed to be used in low-level utils like
        mount(8) and /sbin/mount.<type> helpers as well as in some other
        projects.
    
      - the library API is still officially unstable. The library provides
        fstab, mtab and mountinfo parser, routines for work with parsed
        data and mount options, mtab locking, etc. The high-level API for
        mount(2) is planned for the next major release. For more details see:
        http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/3239
    
      - the utils like mount(8) or umount(8) are not linked with the library
        yet. This change is planned for util-linux-ng-2.19.
    
    findmnt:
      - this NEW COMMAND is a command line interface to the libmount library
        for work with mountinfo, fstab and mtab files
    
    fsfreeze:
       - this NEW COMMAND is very simple wrapper around FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctls
    
    swaplabel:
       - this NEW COMMAND allows to change swaparea UUID and label
    
    blkid:
      - supports new command line option "-i" to print I/O Limits
    
      - supports new command line option "-n" to restrict probing functions to
        defined list of superblock types (names).
    
      - returns details from partition table (type, flags, uuid, ...)
    
    chrt:
      - supports new command line option "-R/--reset-on-fork" to enable
        SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag
    
    fdisk:
      - supports new command line option "-c" to switch off DOS mode
      - uses 1MiB offset for the first partition
        (all these changes are already in the release 2.17.2)
    
    hwclock:
      - supports new command line option "--predict" to predict what the RTC will
        read at time given by the --date option based on the adjtime file.
    
    ldattach:
      - supports new command line option "-i/--iflag" to sets the specified bits
        in the c_iflag word of the serial line.
    
    fallocate, losetup and mount:
      - the options --offset, --length or --sizelimit support suffixes
        (MiB, GiB, ...) and hex numbers
    
    umount:
      - supports new command line option "--fake" to avoid umount(2) syscall
