Now at -rc1.

Now cfdisk, sfdisk and fdisk wipe all filesystems and RAID signatures when
create a new disk label in interactive mode. It's possible to control this
feature by --wipe=<auto,never,always>. The feature is disabled by default for
not-terminals.

lsns -- this NEW COMMAND lists information about all the currently accessible
namespaces or about the given namespace. 

The command sfdisk supports new operations --delete, --move-data and --reorder.

The command blkdiscard supports a new option --zeroout to zero-fill rather than
discard specified area.

The command cal supports a new option --span to span the date when displaying
multiple months (e.g. "cal --span --months 5" to display two months before and
two months after the current month).

The command chrt supports DEADLINE scheduling class and new options
--sched-runtime --sched-period and --sched-deadline.

The command logger supports RFC 5424 structured data by new options --sd-id and
--sd-param.

The command losetup supports a new option --direct-io[=on|off].

The command lsblk allows to sort output by non-printed columns (e.g. lsblk
--output NAME --sort SIZE).

The command mount applies nofail mount option to ENOMEDIUM errors.

The library libmount has been improved to properly detect already mounted btrfs
subvolumes.

The library libsmartcols has been massively improved to print table ranges,
multi-line cells, table titles and to support continuous printing.

The package build system and code have been improved to be more portable to
non-Linux systems (BSD, XOs).

The package does not provide fallback solutions for openat-family functions
anymore.
