   1 xfsprogs-2.3.8 (18 December 2002)
   2         - Initial support for I18N (still more to do here).
   3         - Initial changes for filesystems with greater than 512 byte
   4           sector sizes (still plenty more to do here too).
   5         - Tidy up libxfs functions which take a "flags" argument.
   6         - Sync up user/kernel source in lib{xfs,xlog} and headers.
   7         - Fixed incorrect use of XFS_FSB_TO_DADDR macro in xfs_db's
   8           faddr.c::fa_dirblock routine - now use XFS_FSB_TO_BB here,
   9           as set_cur() takes basic blocks as its third parameter.
  10         - Fixed obscure issue in mkfs where only the first AG would
  11           get its AGFL freelist "fixed" - not clear this caused any
  12           issues in practice (on Linux its always been this way, we
  13           now match up with IRIX though).
  14         - Made xfs_growfs filesystem geometry output match up with
  15           that displayed by mkfs.xfs (xfs_growfs was missing a comma
  16           before the log version field).
  17         - Fixed an issue in xfs_repair where data past the end of the
  18           valid superblock fields was sometimes not cleared, when it
  19           really should have been (due to a libxfs problem).
  20         - Shell scripts (xfs_info, xfs_check, etc) now also report
  21           the xfsprogs version number via -V, like other commands.
  22
  23 xfsprogs-2.3.7 (14 November 2002)
  24         - Fix an endian bug in xfs_db freesp command when descending
  25           into multi-level agf cnt/bno btrees.
  26
  27 xfsprogs-2.3.6 (31 October 2002)
  28         - Sync up user/kernel source in lib{xfs,xlog} and headers.

  30         - Minor header file shuffling.
  31
  32 xfsprogs-2.3.5 (10 October 2002)
  33         - Sync up user/kernel source in lib{xfs,xlog} and headers.
  34         - Fix mkfs (libxfs) bug when using BLKFLSBUF ioctl - we passed
  35           in the device number instead of a file descriptor (and EBADF
  36           was the end result, which we ignored).
  37         - Thanks to Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> for fixing this.
  38
  39 xfsprogs-2.3.4 (04 October 2002)
  40         - Fix size calculation bug in xfs_repair's memory allocation,

  42
  43 xfsprogs-2.3.3 (16 September 2002)
  44         - Fix mkfs bug when optimizing AG size on striped devices,
  45           ASSERT(agcount != 0) tripped on single-ag filesystems.
  46
  47 xfsprogs-2.3.2 (10 September 2002)
  48         - Use pread/pwrite instead of lseek + read/write.
  49
  50 xfsprogs-2.3.1 (03 September 2002)
  51         - Allow xfs_db to accept negative numbers when writing values.
  52
  53 xfsprogs-2.3.0 (03 September 2002)
  54         - Several changes to geometry ioctl callers which will make
  55           the tools useable on older kernel versions too.
  56         - Mainly affects xfs_bmap and xfs_growfs.
  57         - Do some additional cleanup after autoconf has run.
  58
  59 xfsprogs-2.2.3 (28 August 2002)
  60         - Update libdisk for a few other filesystems.
  61         - Fix call to lvdisplay on LVM volumes so that lvdisplay
  62           always gets the full, real path to the volume, as required.
  63
  64 xfsprogs-2.2.2 (19 August 2002)
  65         - Fix endian bug in xfs_db, was not flipping 16-bit numbers.
  66         - Make xfs_repair recognize a NULLFSINO and print that in
  67           addition to "18446744073709551615" for easy recognition.
  68         - Fix format string that xfs_repair uses when fixing inodes,
  69           so that the new inode numbers are printed correctly.
  70
  71 xfsprogs-2.2.1 (09 August 2002)
  72         - Fix buglet in libdisk get_driver_block_major() routine which
  73           would result in incorrect majors being returned for not-found
  74           drivers.
  75         - Fix problem in install process with newer autoconf versions.
  76
  77 xfsprogs-2.2.0 (08 August 2002)
  78         - mkfs.xfs defaults to a blocksize of 4096 bytes, and no longer
  79           uses getpagesize(2) to dynamically configure the default size.
  80         - Add EVMS stripe unit/width auto-detection support in mkfs.xfs
  81           (patch from Luciano Chavez).
  82         - Sync user/kernel headers (arch.h incorporated into xfs_arch.h,

  84
  85 xfsprogs-2.1.2 (17 July 2002)
  86         - Fix up log stripe unit specification options, and update
  87           man page.  Also fix suffix handling for data su/sw options
  88           (disallow unit suffixes on -d sunit,swidth,sw and -l sunit).
  89           Add "s" (512-byte sectors) as valid suffix.
  90         - Automatically select v2 logs if a log stripe unit is
  91           specified.
  92
  93 xfsprogs-2.1.1 (04 July 2002)
  94         - Build infrastructure updates so that configure options can be
  95           used to specify paths rather than semi-hard-coded path names
  96           controlled by the ROOT/ROOT_PREFIX environment variables; eg.
  97           now allows /lib64 and /lib32
  98

 108         - Fix the way mkfs.xfs round downs the device when the last
 109           AG is smaller than the minimum AG size.
 110         - Fix bug in xfs_repair da_write() routine, which affects
 111           filesystems where the data blocksize != naming blocksize
 112           (see xfs_info output).
 113         - Fix a use-after-free bug in xfs_repair code for checking
 114           version 1 btree-format directories.

 116
 117 xfsprogs-2.0.5 (02 May 2002)
 118         - Size AGs so that they do not always start on the same
 119           part of a striped disk
 120         - Fix an off-by-one error on rounding down an AG that is
 121           too small to be an AG
 122         - Don't auto-grow the log to be larger than an AG
 123         - Change the error philosophy for -d su=,sw= away from forcing
 124           the XFS stripe size to match the volume manager stripe size
 125           and instead accept, with a warning, the stripe unit & width
 126           supplied on the commandline.
 127         - Update xfs_growfs man page
 128         - Don't build libxlog.a with DEBUG enabled

 134
 135 xfsprogs-2.0.3 (13 April 2002)
 136         - Important build system update, was causing libxfs to be
 137           built incorrectly, which can cause xfs_repair to fail by
 138           tripping asserts in additional libxfs debug code.
 139
 140 xfsprogs-2.0.2 (04 April 2002)
 141         - Bumped version of libhandle to libhandle.so.1.0.1
 142           This changes open_by_handle() and friends so that
 143           O_LARGEFILE is added to the open flags.
 144           This allows xfsdump to dump files greater than
 145           2^31-1 bytes instead of not dumping the large
 146           files and giving warning messages.
 147

 158           read-only now (fix from Chris Pascoe)
 159         - sync up with recent (minor) changes to shared kernel code
 160         - switch to using the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl in libxfs, instead
 161           of the (previously busted) BLKGETSIZE ioctl
 162
 163 xfsprogs-1.3.19 (15 February 2002)

 165         - add xfs_repair option parsing for realtime device
 166         - fix xfs_repair version (-V) option - should not
 167           require an argument

 180         - xfs_repair fix if the log is corrupted and we can't find
 181           the head, don't exit - just proceed on with zeroing it
 182         - use snprintf instead of sprintf throughout
 183
 184 xfsprogs-1.3.16 (17 December 2001)
 185         - added text dump type to xfs_db (mkp)
 186         - removed use of a temporary file in xfs_db when processing

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