[thirdparty/xfsprogs-dev.git] / doc / CHANGES

xfsprogs-2.0.0 (26 February 2002)
	- Major release to coincide with switch to new extended
	  attributes system call interfaces
	- bumped version of libhandle, added new symbols to use
	  the reworked extended attributes handle ioctl interface
	- xfs_repair in no-modify mode opens the filesystem device
	  read-only now (fix from Chris Pascoe)
	- sync up with recent changes to kernel headers

xfsprogs-1.3.19 (15 February 2002)
	- fix xfs_repair option parsing for external logs
	- add xfs_repair option parsing for realtime device
	- fix xfs_repair version (-V) option - should not
	  require an argument
	- add -V option to usage string
	- document verbose (-v) and -r options in manpage

xfsprogs-1.3.18 (17 January 2002)
	- fix mkfs.xfs buglet in overwriting signatures when run
	  on a regular file

xfsprogs-1.3.17 (14 January 2002)
	- mkfs.xfs overwrites pre-existing filesystem, swap, or md
	  driver signatures.
	- xfs_repair fix to prevent double insertion into the
	  uncertain_inode AVL trees ("avl_insert: duplicate range")
	- xfs_repair fix if the log is corrupted and we can't find
	  the head, don't exit - just proceed on with zeroing it
	- use snprintf instead of sprintf throughout

xfsprogs-1.3.16 (17 December 2001)
	- added text dump type to xfs_db (mkp)
	- removed use of a temporary file in xfs_db when processing
	  commands on the command line - allows xfs_check to be run
	  on read-only root filesystems

xfsprogs-1.3.15 (12 December 2001)
	- reenable the use of the BLKBSZSET ioctl, its baaack
	- sync recent XFS kernel source changes back into libxfs

xfsprogs-1.3.14 (05 December 2001)
	- fix minor debian package version numbering issue
	- add documentation for xfs_db(8) label/uuid commands
	- automatic inode sizing code in mkfs.xfs has been removed
	  (restricting inodes to 32 bits) - Steve's recent kernel
	  changes mean this is no longer an issue
	- fix bug in mkfs.xfs size cross-check for realtime device

xfsprogs-1.3.13 (25 October 2001)
	- fix bug in mkfs for 1Tbyte + filesystems
	- sync with recent kernel changes - this does not affect
	  userspace (libxfs), all affected code is removed by cpp.

xfsprogs-1.3.12 (17 October 2001)
	- implement the -f (file) option to xfs_logprint
	- rework the xlog code into libxlog for code sharing
	- xfs_repair now detects a dirty log and, without -L, will
	  no longer blindly zero it (which prevents any recovery)

xfsprogs-1.3.11 (17 October 2001)
	- tidy up some (benign) compiler warnings from libxfs
	- fixed 64-bit pointer alignment issues in xfs_check
	- fixed 64-bit pointer alignment issues in xfs_repair
	- verified these on IA64, also reported to fix sparc issues

	- sync with XFS kernel header changes for EAs by-handle
	- ported xfs_imap command for dumping the inode map

xfsprogs-1.3.9 (03 October 2001)
	- fix xfs_repair bug in handling a corrupt root directory
	  inode with multiple "lost+found" entries
	- fix xfs_logprint bug in scanning for log head and tail
	- ensure xfs_bmap doesn't issue XFS ioctls to non-XFS files
	- numerous man page updates

xfsprogs-1.3.8 (19 September 2001)
	- rewrote the LVM support used by mkfs.xfs to call external
	  lvdisplay program to get volume geometry (mkp@mkp.net)
	- fix bug in LVM driver wrapper where it would not have been
	  used at all, ever (since 1.3.0), due to idiot programmer
	  error (*blush*) -- also thanks to mkp for the bug fix

xfsprogs-1.3.7 (10 September 2001)
	- enable preallocation in xfs_mkfile [missed during port?]
	- fix xfs_db core dump when reporting freespace
	- allow libuuid to be linked dynamically if desired (based
	  on a patch from Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org>, helps
	  the folk working on the Debian installer for XFS)
	- licensing change for "libhandle" (was GPL, now LGPL-2.1)
	  and some related header files

xfsprogs-1.3.6 (31 August 2001)
	- make mkfs.xfs aware of geometries that might cause
	  inode numbers to exceed 32 significant bits.
	- make xfs_growfs warn if new filesystem will have
	  inode numbers that exceed 32 significant bits.
	- fix logprint bug in reporting extended attributes
	  (thanks to Tang Lingbo <tanglb@sina.com> for fixing this)
	- fix mkfs.xfs core dump when attemping to run on devices
	  which are too small to hold a valid XFS filesystem
