This version provides a completely new sfdisk(8) command; the new version is
based on libfdisk. If your use cases depend on sfdisk(8), then it is strongly
recommended to be careful and re-test your scripts. The new version supports
MBR and GPT disk labels (SGI and SUN are also supported but no well tested).
The new version does no more support some obscure MBR specific command line
options and legacy CHS addressing.

The library libblkid (and blkid(8) on the command line) now uses the same UDF
fields as Windows and other operating systems in order to get human-readable
UDF volume identifiers (LABEL= tag). This change may be backwardly incompatible
for some UDF volumes.
The command hwclock(8) uses the drift correction for all relevant operations
and it is unnecessary to specify --adjuts on hwclock command line now.
and it is unnecessary to specify --adjust on the hwclock command line now.
The command hwclock(8) does not automatically (re)calculate drift factor on
--systohc to avoid several problem (ntpd with an '11 minute mode', etc.), but
new command line option --update-drift has to be explicitly used to force
hwclock(8) to update /etc/adjtime.
