Util-linux 2.30 Release Notes
=============================
The libblkid library has been fixed to extract LABEL= and UUID= from UDF
rather than from ISO9660 header on hybrid CDROM/DVD media. This changes
makes UDF media on Linux user-space more compatible with another operation
systems. Unfortunately, this change may introduce regression for (unusual)
hybrid CDROM/DVDs where ISO and UDF use a different LABEL=.

disable the ioctl TIOCSTI by setsid() only. Unfortunately, setsid()
has well-defined use cases in su(1) and runuser(1) and any changes
would introduce regressions. It seems we need a better way -- ideally
another ioctl to disable TIOCSTI without setsid() or in userspace
another ioctl to disable TIOCSTI without setsid() or in a userspace
