+Util-linux-ng 2.17.1 Release Notes
+==================================
+
+Release highlights
+------------------
+
+fdisk:
+   - supports new command line option "-c" to disable DOS-compatible mode from
+     command line.
+
+     The DOS-compatible mode is DEPRECATED and will be disabled by default
+     in the next major release. Currently, the DOS mode is enabled by default
+     for backward compatibility only. 
+
+     The cylinders as display units are DEPRECATED. It's recommended to use
+     "-u" command line option or "u" fdisk command and use sectors as display
+     units.
+
+   Note that the new support for 4K-sector disks is useless in DOS-compatible
+   mode. The fdisk command prints warning(s) when startup in DOS mode.
+
