These are the major changes since +2.1.8: + + * Remove support for the old procfs interface, which has been unused since + Linux 2.4.13 and which caused trouble in environments where we can't use + modprobe. Thanks to Bastian Blank. + * Sort formats by name in the output of `update-binfmts --display`. + * Building binfmt-support now requires Autoconf >= 2.63. + * Add a new `--unimport` action, which is the inverse of `--import`. + * Don't enable formats on import or disable them on unimport unless + `/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc` is already mounted. This avoids causing + cleanup problems in chroots. + * `--fix-binary yes` is incompatible with detectors. Warn the user if they + try to use both at once. Thanks to Stefan Agner. + +In the corresponding Debian upload (2.2.0-1), I've changed README.Debian to +recommend using `update-binfmts --unimport ` in the prerm rather than +a more complicated `update-binfmts --package --remove +` command. I don't intend to push for existing packages to switch +over to this before buster, though, since the stricter package relationships +needed to arrange for a new enough version of binfmt-support to be present +when the prerm runs would make the upgrade path more complicated, and it +isn't an urgent change. -- 2.30.2
