• in ut_addr, addresses containing NULL bytes (e.g., 127.0.0.1) were truncated
• unlike utmp ut_addr, utmpx ut_addr was not converted to a string (but the documentation claimed it was)

1.6     Mon Sep 17 15:10:23 UTC 2001
        - EMPTY is no longer unconditionally defined in Linux hint
          file (it wasn't defined on older Linux versions); if
          necessary it's defined in Utmp.xs
        - tests should be more robust

1.7     Tue Sep 20 10:12:03 UTC 2005
        - In Utmp.xs, the tv_usec field was assigned the value of tv_sec

1.8     Sun Mar 26 23:42:44 UTC 2006
        - For compatibility with utmp, the utmpx read functions
          generate a ut_time field; it can also be specified in the
          argument to pututxline()
        - Added support for NetBSD (hints file and various #ifdefs)
        - Added Perl interfaces for all functions defined in the
          Single UNIX Specification Version 3 (namely: endutxent(),
          getutxent(), getutxid(), getutxline(), pututxline(), and
          setutxent())
        - Extended documentation; it now also says that utmpx is
          preferred
        - Enhanced test.pl
