-E2fsprogs 1.33-WIP (March 16, 2003)
+E2fsprogs 1.41.7 (June 29, 2009)
+================================
+
+Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write
+uninitalized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128
+bytes when operating on inodes mapped via extents; potentially
+corrupting filesystems.
+
+Fix memory leaks in e2fsprogs, including a very large memory leak
+which can cause e2fsck to run out of memory when checking very large
+filesystems using extents.
+
+The logsave program will now filter out the ^A and ^B characters when
+writing to the console.
+
+Harden ext2fs_validate_entry() so that lsdel will not read beyond the
+end of the block even if the directory block is corrupted.
+
+Fix debugfs from core dumping if the logdump command fails to open the
+output file.
+
+Enhance badblocks to print the currently tested block number when
+interrupted with ^C.
+
+Fix lsattr to exit with a non-zero status when it encounters errors.
+(Addresses RedHat Bugzilla #489841)
+
+Fix e2fsprogs to use the same encoding for rec_len in 64k (and larger)
+filesystems as the kernel when encoding rec_len >= 64k. For 64k
+filesystems (currently all that is supported by e2fsprogs, this is
+only a minor corner case).
+
+Resize2fs will now update the journal backup fileds in the sup0erblock
+if the journal is moved; this avoids an unnecessary full fsck after
+resizing the filesystem. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #505339)
+
+Fix libext2fs to properly initialize i_extra_size when creating the
+journal and resize inodes.
+
+Change badblocks to allow block sizes larger than 4k.
+
+Fix filefrag progam so it correctly checks for errors from the fiemap ioctl.
+
+Update Chinese and Czech translation from the Translation Project.
+
+Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #531385 and #523063)
+
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Add --disable-libuuid option to configure which uses an in-system
+installed version of libuuid; the private version is enabled by
+default.
+
+Add --valgrind-leakcheck option to the test_script program which runs
+valgrind with the appropriate options to find memory leaks.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.41.6 (May 30, 2009)
+===============================
+
+Fix a critical regression in e2fsck introduced version 1.41.5 which
+can undo updates to the block group descriptors after a journal replay.
+
+If e2fsck receives an I/O error while replaying the journal, prompt
+the user whether they want to ignore the error or not; if e2fsck is
+run in preen mode, force fsck to abort the preen pass.
+
+Fix a bug which would cause e2fsck to core dump if the filesystem
+contains a corrupt extent header, and the user declines to clear the
+inode. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2791794)
+
+Fix e2fsck to restart only once in the case of multiple block groups
+which inodes in use that are in the uninitialized part of the block
+group's inode table.
+
+To reduce user confusion, if the /etc/mtab file is missing
+ext2fs_check_mount_point and ext2fs_check_if_mounted will return a
+new, explicit error code to indicate this case. This will cause
+e2fsck to give a clearer error message when the user is using buggy
+rescue CD's that don't properly set up /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian
+Bug: #527859)
+
+Fix e2fsck so that if the primary group descriptors are corrupted, but
+the backup superblock is entirely invalid, to go back to using (and
+fixing) the priary group descriptors instead of completely giving up
+on the filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug: #516820)
+
+Change e2fsck to not abort a preen pass if an inode is found to have
+i_file_acl_hi non-zero. Ext3 filesystems don't care, and newer
+kernels (post 2.6.29) will ignore this field. So let's fix it
+automatically during the preen pass instead of forcing the user to fix
+this up manually. (Addresses Debian Bug: #526524)
+
+Add resource tracking for e2fsck passes 1b through 1d.
+
+Speed up e2fsck by eliminating unnecessary journal checks if the
+filesystem is already mounted and doesn't need recovery (since the
+kernel would have run the journal when the filesystem was mounted.)
+Also speed up e2fsck by avoiding unnecessary block group descriptor
+updates in ext2fs_close().
+
+Add support to chattr to migrate inodes from using direct/indirect
+blocks to extents.
+
+Avoid corrupting the filesystem if there is an attempt to shrink a
+filesystem using resize2fs smaller than posible by making
+ext2fs_set_bmap() more careful not to delete the old block until the
+new block can be inserted. In addition, fix a bug in how the minimum
+size of the filesystem (plus a safety margin) is calculated, and
+modify resize2fs to refuse to shrink the filesystem below that minimum
+size without the force flag.
+
+Teach blkid to try to figure out DM device names using take advantage
+of information in sysfs when running on kernels (2.6.29 and later)
+which provide this information in /sys/block/dm-<N>/dm/name; this is
+much faster than scanning for the devncie number in /dev/mapper.
+
+Fix blkid to prefer /dev/mapper/<name> device names instad of the
+private /dev/dm-X names.
+
+Add an -a option to debugfs's close_filesys command which writes any
+changes to the superblock or block group descriptors to all of the
+backup superblock locations.
+
+Add support to the filefrag program to use the FIEMAP ioctl.
+
+Update Chinese translation from the Translation Project.
+
+Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #502971 and
+Launchpad Bug: #381854)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bug #506064)
+
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Add test code to make sure e2fsck's problem.c doesn't have two problem
+codes assigned to duplicate values.
+
+Avoid using a hard-coded path for /bin/rm in block's test_probe.in.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2780205)
+
+Clean up e2fsck by removing #ifdef RESOURCE_TRACK by adding an empty
+function declaration for init_resource_track() and
+print_resource_track() when RESOURCE_TRACK is not defined.
+
+The test code which is used to build the tst_csum progam has been
+moved from from tst_csum.c into csum.c under an #ifdef DEBUG to to
+avoid compile problems caused by not having a prototype for
+ext2fs_group_desc_csum(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #2484331)
+
+Update the config.guess and config.sub file to the latest from the
+FSF, to allow e2fsprogs to build on the avr32 platform. (Addresses
+Debian Bug: #528330)
+
+Add a new function, ext2fs_extent_open2(), which behaves like
+pext2fs_extent_open(), but uses the user-supplied inode structure
+when opening an extent instead of reading the inode from disk.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.41.5 (April 23, 2009)
+=================================
+
+Fix a number of filesystem corruption bugs in resize2fs when growing
+or shrinking ext4 filesystems off-line (i.e., when the ext4 filesystem
+is not mounted).
+
+Debugfs can now set i_file_acl_high via the set_inodes_field command,
+and print a 64-bit file acl. This is useful for debugging filesystem
+corruptions where the high bits of i_file_acl_high are set. E2fsck
+will detect and fix non-zero i_file_acl_high on 32-bit filesystems
+since some Linux kernel versions pay attention to this field even when
+they shouldn't.
+
+Speed up e2fsck when checking clean filesystems by avoiding
+unnecessary block reads, and coalescing the block group descriptor
+blocks so they are read using a single read operation.
+
+The libuuid library will now close all file descriptors before running
+uuidd. This avoids problems when the calling program has open sockets
+which then never get closed because uuidd is a long-running helper
+daeomn. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #305057)
+
+In order to avoid unnecessary full filesystem checks by e2fsck after
+an on-line resize, e2fsck will ignore the NEEDS_RECOVERY flag set on
+the backup superblocks. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #471925)
+
+Mke2fs will avoid trying to create the journal when run in
+superblock-only mode (mke2fs -S), since the left-over journal in the
+inode table will cause mke2fs to fail.
+
+Fix a bug in libext2fs functions that check to see if a particular
+device or filesystem image is mounted, which would cause these
+functions to report that a file identical to the (relative) pathname
+used by a pseudo-filesystem was mounted when in fact it was not.
+
+Update Czech translation from the Translation Project.
+
+Add Chinese (simplified) translation from the Translation Project.
+
+Fix support for external journals (which was broken in e2fsprogs
+1.41.4).
+
+Fix a regression in debugfs where the "stat" command when no
+filesystem was open would cause debugfs to crash with a segmentation
+violation.
+
+Starting in the 2.6.29 linux kernel, the ext4 filesystem driver can be
+used to support filesystems without a journal. Update the blkid
+library so it understands this.
+
+The blkid library will remove an entry from the blkid cache
+representing the entire disk if partitions are found, since presuambly
+the device previously had no partition table, but has now transitioned
+to using a partition table.
+
+Add a check to mke2fs and tune2fs that the argument to the -m option
+(which specifies the reserved ratio) must be greater than zero.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #517015)
+
+Add support for tracking the number kilobytes written to the
+filesystem via the superblock field s_kbytes_written. It will be
+updated by the kernel as well as by e2fsprogs programs which write to
+the filesystem. This is useful for tracking the wear to filesystems
+on Solid Sstate Drives.
+
+Fix compatibility issue in the libext2fs info file and makeinfo
+version 4.12. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #481620)
+
+Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #515693, #365619)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #506279)
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Fix Hurd compilation problem in e2fsck and tune2fs (Addresses Debian
+Bug: #521602)
+
+Fix various gcc compilation warnings and other programming cleanups.
+(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #486997)
+
+Add support for building the blkid command statically.
+
+Add support for disabling the built-in blkid library in favor of a
+system-installed blkid implementation via the configure option
+--disable-libblkid.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.41.4 (January 27, 2009)
+===================================
+
+Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause blkid to return an exit value
+of zero for a non-existent device (Addresses Debian Bug: #502541)
+
+Blkid will now recognize ext3 filesystems that have the test_fs flag
+set as ext3 filesystems.
+
+The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap
+devices currently used by user-level software suspend.
+
+Tune2fs now updates the block group checksums when changing the UUID
+to avoid causing e2fsck to complain vociferously at the next reboot.
+
+Tune2fs's inode size resizing algorithms have been fixed so it is not
+vastly inefficient for moderate-to-large filesystems, due to some
+O(n**2) and O(n*m) algorithms that didn't scale well at all.
+
+Fix tune2fs's inode resizing algorithm so it will not corrupt
+filesystems laid out for RAID filesystems; in addition, tune2fs will
+refuse to change the inode size for filesystems that have the flex_bg
+feature enabled. (This is a limitation in the current implementation
+of tune2fs -I.)
+
+E2fsprogs 1.41 broke debugfs's logdump command for normal ext3/4
+filesystems with 32-bit block numbers, when the headers for 64-bit
+block numbers was added. This regression has been fixed.
+
+Debugfs's ncheck command has been fixed to avoid printing garbage
+characters at the end of file names.
+
+Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
+when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be moved.
+In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being correctly
+freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable, which caused
+resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved, make sure the
+uninitialized flag in extents is preserved.
+
+Fix bug which caused dumpe2fs to abort with an error if run on a
+filesystem that contained an external journal.
+
+Some distributions used "mke3fs" as an alias for "mkfs.ext3"; check
+for this in argv[0] to provide better legacy support for these
+distributions. This is a practice that should NOT be continued,
+however.
+
+Mke2fs now has a new option -U, which allows the user to specify the
+UUID that should be used for the new filesystem.
+
+Mke2fs will treat devices that are exactly 16TB as if they were 16TB
+minus one block. This allows users who have read that ext3 supports
+up to 16TB filesystems and who create a 16TB LVM to not get confused,
+since the true limit is really 16TB minus one block.
+
+E2fsck will no longer abort an fsck run if block group has an errant
+INODE_UNINIT flag.
+
+E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and fragmented
+files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck report.
+
+Fix a bug in e2fsck which casued it double count non-contiguous
+extent-based inodes.
+
+E2fsck will leave some slack space when repacking directories to allow
+room for a few directory entries to be added without causing leaf
+nodes to be split right away.
+
+Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to crash when it comes across a
+corrupted interior node in an extent tree with the error message:
+"Error1: Corrupt extent header on inode XXXXXX"
+
+E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer
+referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have
+journals.
+
+Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when
+replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.
+
+Update Catalan translation from the Translation Project.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #503057, #502323, #511207)
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Fix build of e2fsck.profiled, and add support for building profiled
+binaries in the misc directory if configured with --enable-profile.
+
+The ext2fs_open() function now performs more sanity checks on the
+superblock to avoid potential divide by zero errors by other parts of
+library.
+
+The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function now has a safety check to avoid
+a segmentation fault on corrupted filesystems.
+
+The ext2fs_new_inode() function now has a sanity check so that if the
+s_first_inode field in the superblock is insane, it will return
+EXT2_ET_INODE_ALLOC_FAIL instead of returning an invalid inode number.
+
+To avoid segmentation faults, ext2fs_block_alloc_stats() and
+ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats() now validates the passed inode or block
+number to avoid overrunning an array boundary.
+
+Various signed/unsigned errors for variables containing block numbers
+have been fixed.
+
+Accomodations for gcc's stupidity in not realizing that constant
+strings that do not contain a '%' character are safe to use in format
+strings have been made so that distributions that want to compile
+e2fsprogs with -Werror=format-security have an easier time doing so.
+
+Added a new 64-bit getsize interface, ext2fs_get_device_size2().
+
+Added the utility make-sparse.c to the contrib directory.
+
+The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now reflects errors from
+ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to the caller, if the callback tries to
+change a block on an extent-based file, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap()
+fails for some reason (for example, there isn't enough disk space to
+split a node and expand the extent tree.
+
+The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function will preserve the uninit flag in
+extents when the callback function modifies a block in an extent-based
+file.
+
+E2fsck will now flag filesystems that have an insane s_first_ino field
+in their superblock, and attempt to use a backup superblock to repair
+the filesystem.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.41.3 (October 12, 2008)
+===================================
+
+E2fsck has been fixed so it prints the correct inode number for
+uinit_bg related problems.
+
+E2fsck will now offer to clear the test_fs flag if the ext4 filesystem
+is available on linux. This can be disabled via a configuration
+option in /etc/e2fsck.conf.
+
+Fix a file descriptor leak in libblkid when checking to see if an ext4
+or ext4dev module exists.
+
+Fix a bug in e2fsck where in preen mode, if there are disk I/O errors
+while trying to close a filesystem can lead to infinite loops.
+(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #465679)
+
+Fix a bug in resize2fs where passing in a bogus new size of 0 blocks
+will cause resize2fs to drop into an infinite loop. (Addresses Red
+Hat Bugzilla: #465984)
+
+Add a check in the Unix I/O functions in libext2fs so that when a
+device is opened read/write, return an error if the device is
+read-only using the BLKROGET ioctl.
+
+Fix debugfs's ncheck command so that it prints all of the names of
+hardlinks in the same directory.
+
+Fix a bug in libblkid so it correctly detects whether the ext4 and
+ext4dev filesystems are available, so that the ext4dev->ext4
+fallback code works correctly.
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Fix a parallel build problem by making sure util/subst is built before
+trying to build the lib/et directory. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#2143281)
+
+Updated "make depend" information for crc16.o
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.41.2 (October 2, 2008)
+==================================
+
+Fix e2fsck's automatic blocksize detection. This fixes a regression
+from e2fsprogs 1.40.7 which caused e2fsck to fail if the user
+specifies a block number using the -b option if the blocksize option
+isn't also specified using -B. Unfortunately, users very commonly
+invoke e2fsck using "e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hdXXX" to use the backup
+superblock; in fack e2fsck will often suggest this kind of command
+line. Oops.
+
+Enhance the debugfs's "ncheck" command so it will print all of the
+pathnames for the specified inodes. (Previously, in some cases ncheck
+might not print a pathname for an inode at all if some of the other
+inodes had multiple hard links.)
+
+Enhance debugfs's "hash" command so the hash seed can be specified via
+a command-line option. In addition, allow the hash algorithm to be
+specified by name instead of just by number.
+
+Fix e2fsck so that we don't accidentally print the translation file's
+header when asking the user a custom question so there is no prompt
+defined for a particular problem record. For example, the question
+"Run journal anyway" will get the PO header tacked on because e2fsck
+erroneously passed the null string to _(). (Addresses Launchpad Bug:
+#246892)
+
+Enhance badblocks so that it can test a normal file which is greater
+than 2GB.
+
+Enhance the badblocks command so that it displays the time and
+percentage complete when in verbose mode. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#429739)
+
+Fix a potential memory leak in a error handling path in debugfs's
+ncheck function.
+
+Fix a potential memory corruption problem if a memory allocation fails
+in resize2fs.
+
+Fix the usage message for debugfs's logdump command to be consistent
+with its man manpage.
+
+Update Polish, French, Vietnamese, Dutch, Indonesian, German, Czech,
+and Sweedish translation from the Translation Project.
+
+Add documentation for the file I/O functions to the libext2fs.texinfo
+file. (Addresses Debian Bug: #484877)
+
+Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Launchpad Bug
+#275272; Addresses Debian Bugs: #498100, #498101, #498102, #498103)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497619)
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Fix a potential file descriptor leack in libcom_err by setting the
+close-on-exec flag for a fd used for debugging. (Addresses Red Hat
+Bugzilla #464689)
+
+Fix a potential race in libcom_err by using sem_post/sem_init. SuSE
+has been carrying a patch for a long time to prevent a largely
+theoretical race condition if a multi-threaded application adds and
+removes error tables in multiple threads. Unfortunately SuSE's
+approach breaks compatibility by forcing applications to link and
+compile with the -pthread option; using pthread mutexes has
+historically been problematic. We fix this by using sem_post/sem_init
+instead.
+
+Fix e2fsprogs-libs build failure due to 'subs' target. (Addresses
+Sourceforge Bug: #2087502)
+
+Avoid linking e2initrd_helper, debugfs, blkid, and fsck with unneeded
+libraries when using ELF shared libraries.
+
+Fix ELF shared library when building on systems that don't already
+have the e2fsprogs shared libraries already installed. (Addresses
+Sourceforge Bug: #2088537)
+
+Fix the pkg-config files so they work correctly when linking with
+static libraries and fix the include directory so programs don't have
+to use #include <ext2fs/ext2fs.h>, but can use #include <ext2fs.h>
+instead. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2089537)
+
+Make sure ext2fs_swab64() is compiled for all platforms, and not just
+for x86. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497515)
+
+Remove the unused ext2fs_find_{first,ext}_bit_set() functions for all
+non-x86 platforms. (They had been removed for x86 earlier.)
+
+Fix diet libc compilation support, which had bitrotted due to lack of
+TLC. Fixing this improves general portability.
+
+When installing the link library when using ELF shared libraries,
+avoid using absolute pathnames if the link library and the shared
+library are installed in the same directory. (Addresses Sourceforge
+Bug: #1782913)
+
+Fix gen-tarball so it will work even if the top-level directory has
+been renamed to something other than "e2fsprogs". Also make
+gen-tarball print the size of the resulting tar.gz file.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.41.1 (September 1, 2008)
+====================================
+
+Many people are forgetting to update their mke2fs.conf file, and this
+causes ext3, ext4, and ext4dev filesystems won't get created with the
+proper features enabled. We address this in two ways. First, mke2fs
+will issue a warning if there is not definition for an ext3, ext4, or
+ext4dev filesystem and the user is trying to create such a filesystem
+type. Secondly, when installing from a source build, "make install"
+will provide basic configuration file handling for /etc/mke2fs.conf.
+If it exists, and does not mention ext4dev, it will be moved aside to
+/etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fpsrogs-old and the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file will
+be installed. If the existing /etc/mke2fs.conf file does mention
+ext4dev, then "make install" will install official mke2fs.conf file as
+/etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fsprogs-new and issue a message to the user that
+they should look to see if any changes need to be merged.
+
+The mke2fs program will now create the journal in the middle of the
+filesystem, since this minimizes seek times on average for fsync-heavy
+workloads. In addition, mke2fs will now create journals using extents
+for filesystems that support them. This results in a more efficient
+encoding for the journal since it eliminates the need for using
+indirect blocks.
+
+The mke2fs program will avoid allocating an extra block to the
+journal. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1483791)
+
+Mke2fs will correctly enforce the prohibition against features
+(specifically read-only features) in revision 0 filesystems. (Thanks
+to Benno Schulenberg for noticing this problem.)
+
+Mke2fs previously would occasionaly create some slightly non-optimally
+placed inode tables; this bug has been fixed.
+
+The mke2fs and tune2fs programs now print the correct usage message
+describing the maximum journal size. (Addresses Debian Bug: #491620)
+
+Add support for setting the default hash algorithm used in b-tree
+directories in tune2fs (from a command-line option) or mke2fs (via
+mke2fs.conf). In addition, change the default hash algorithm to
+half_md4, since it is faster and better.
+
+The blkid library will now recognize MacOS hfsx filesystems, and
+correctly extract the label and uuid for hfs, hfsx, and hfsplus
+filesystems. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Requests: #2060292)
+
+The blkid library has improved detection of JFS and HPFS filesystems.
+(Addresses Launchpad Bug: #255255)
+
+The blkid library is now much more efficiently handling devicemapper
+devices, mainly by no longer using the devicemapper library. This can
+speed up access for systems with a large number of device mapper
+devices.
+
+Blkid had a number of cache validation bugs in libblkid that have been
+fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #493216)
+
+Resize2fs will now properly close out the "updating inode references"
+progress bar so there is a newline printed before printing the final
+"resize is successful" message.
+
+Resize2fs will now correctly handle filesystems with extents and/o
+uninitialized block groups correctly when file/directory blocks need
+to relocated (i.e., when shrinking a filesystem or if the resize_inode
+is not present). To support this, the ext2fs library now supports
+initializing inode and block bitmaps that are not yet initialized when
+allocating them using ext2fs_new_block() and ext2fs_new_inode(). In
+addition, e2fs_block_iterate2() can now support changing the location
+of interior nodes of an extent tree, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() has
+been optimized to avoid creating unnecessary new extents when updating
+the location of blocks in the extent tree. This will also help out
+e2fsck's recovery of obscurely corrupted filesystems with extents,
+when blocks are claimed by multiple inodes.
+
+Add support for on-line resizing ext4 filesystem with the flex_bg
+filesystem feature. The method for doing so is not optimal, but to do
+a better job will require kernel support.
+
+E2fsprogs 1.41.0 intrduced a bug in libext2fs which casued e2image and
+debugfs programs to not be able to read e2image files; the signed
+vs. unsigned bug in the code which read bitmaps from the e2image has
+been fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #495830)
+
+Resize2fs is now correctly managing the directory in-use counts when
+shrinking filesystems and directory inodes needed to be moved from one
+block group to another. This bug has been around since e2fsprogs
+1.26, and is largely harmless, but does cause a filesystem corruption
+which will be flagged by e2fsck after the filesystem has been shrunk.
+
+E2fsck will no longer issue spurious complaints about the inode size
+caused by very large extent-based files, and by blocks reallocated
+using fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE option. (Addresses
+Kernel Bugzilla: #11341)
+
+Mke2fs will now set the creation timestamp on the lost+found directory
+and the root directory. (More generally, all new inodes created using
+the ext2fs library will correctly set the creation timestamp.)
+
+E2fsck now correctly calculates ind/dind/tind statistics in the
+presence of extent-based files. In addition, "e2fsck -v" will report
+statistics of the depth of extent trees in the filesystem. E2fsck can
+also give an inode fragmentation report using "e2fsck -E fragcheck"
+which can be useful when debugging the kernel block allocation
+routines.
+
+Fix support for empty directory blocks in ext4 filesystems with 64k
+blocksize filesystems.
+
+E2fsck will now print the depth of corrupt htree directories.
+
+Debugfs's htree command now correctly understands extent-based
+directories. It will also print out the minor hash as well as the
+major hash.
+
+Debugfs has a new command which will print the supported features of
+e2fsprogs, to enable scripts to know whether the installed version of
+e2fsprogs can support a specific feature.
+
+Debugfs will now write files using extents for filesystems that
+support them.
+
+The error message printed by "tune2fs -I" if the inode size was too
+small was rather confusing, so it has been improved. Also, we won't
+try to create an undo log until we know that command-line-specified
+parameters such as "tune2fs -I <inode size>" are valid.
+
+Given some filesystems found "in the wild" that had non-zero block
+group checksums even though the uninit_bg/gdt_sum feature was not
+enabled, e2fsck would issue spurious error messages. Teach
+ext2fs_group_desc_csum_verify() to ignore the block group checksum
+entirely if the feature flag is not set. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#490637)
+
+The blkid program will now print out a user-friendly listing of all of
+the block devices in the system and what they contain when given the
+-L option. (Addresses Debian Bug: #490527)
+
+The filefrag program now has a more accurate calculation for the
+number of ideal extents. (Addresses Debian Bug: #458306)
+
+The test I/O manager is now enabled by default, but its overhead is
+only incurred when it would be enabled via the TEST_IO_FLAGS or
+TEST_IO_BLOCK environment variables.
+
+Typographical errors in various program strings and usage messages
+have been fixed; most of these were pointed out by the e2fsprogs
+message catalog translators. (Thanks, translators!)
+
+Update and clarified various man pages, as well as some typographical
+errors in the libext2fs texinfo file.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details.
+
+Add Indonesian and update French, Polish, Dutch, German, Sweedish,
+Czech, and Vietnamese Translations. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #313697,
+#401092)
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Fix portability problem with the badblocks group; for systems that
+don't have nanosleep(), try using usleep() instead.
+
+The "make check" target in the e2fsck directory now sets
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the various e2fsck internal library
+regression tests.
+
+The crc32 regression test in the e2fsck library is now portable to
+greater varienty of environments, including big-endian systems and
+when cross-building e2fsprogs for embedded systems. (Addresses
+Sourceforge Bug: #2019287)
+
+The ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() had some bugs when setting the first
+block in a file, or when replacing a single block extent. Those cases
+fortunately were came up relatively rarely when e2fsck was checking
+files, but caused some problems when resize2fs was shrinking
+extent-based files.
+
+Fix a potential core-dumping bug in libe2p's iterate_on_dir()
+function.
+
+Various ext2fs library functions --- ext2fs_block_iterate2(),
+ext2fs_initialize() and ext2fs_extent_open() --- now correctly free
+allocated memory to avoid memory leaks in all of their error return
+paths.
+
+Ext2ed was failing to build because masix support had been removed in
+the rest of e2fsprogs, so ext2ed no longer has masix support, either.
+
+The configure script now respects the LDFLAGS environment variable if
+it is set when configure is called. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature
+Request: #1937287)
+
+Libuuid is now more portable to the Windows platform. (Addresses
+Sourceforge Feature Request: #1937287)
+
+The configure script now uses AC_MSG_{RESULT,WARN,ERROR} instead of
+bare echo commands so that configure flags such as --quiet work
+correctly. (Addresses Sourceforge Patches: #2058794)
+
+A few uses of sprintf have been removed from the ext2fs library to
+make life easier for bootloaders with a limited libc environment.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2049120)
+
+The ext2fs_read_inode() checks the validity of the inode number passed
+to it earlier, to avoid doing some needless work when it would fail
+anyway.
+
+The ext2fs_open() checks the validity of the blocksize parameter
+passed to it earlier, to avoid doing some needless work when it would
+fail anyway.
+
+Disable a very annoying automatic "%.sh -> %" GNU make rule in the
+top-level Makefile. That automatic rule is used to better support
+SCCS, but it caused problems for a particular niche distribution which
+likes to use configure.sh files to store the configure options used to
+build a package. Unfortuntaely GNU make will use the configure.sh to
+replace the configure script, resulting in a self-inflicted fork bomb
+leading to an out-of-memory crash.
+
+To support old GNU C compilers don't use C99/C++ comments, but only
+K&R style comments, and don't try to use __builtin_expect if __GNUC__
+is less than 3. (__builtin_expect is only supported for gcc versions
+2.96 and up, and it's tricky to check for gcc 2.95 vs gcc 2.96; since
+this is an optimization, we only try to use __builtin_expect for gcc 3
+and up.)
+
+In e2fsck's crc routines, make sure we use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of
+__LITTLE_ENDIAN, which are only defined by glibc's header files and
+hence isn't portable.
+
+For the convenience for some distributions that need a static tune2fs,
+the Makefile for misc/ now has a tune2fs.static target.
+
+The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now supports BLOCK_FLAG_APPEND
+for extent-based files
+
+The ext2fs_bmap() function now supports BMAP_ALLOC for extent-based
+files.
+
+All source files no longer have any trailing white space.
+
+The io_channel_read_blk64() and io_channel_write_blk64() functions are
+now functions instead of C preprocessor macros to provide better
+forward compatibility.
+
+The e2fpsrogs translation template now expands the @x abbrevation.
+
+Various namespace leackages in libblkid, libe2p, and libext2fs have
+been fixed.
+
+Fix a parallel build problem in e2fsprogs.
+
+E2fsprogs is now more portable to Solaris.
+ * blkid no longer assumes that the TIOCGSIZE and TIOCGWINSZ ioctl's
+ are always present.
+ * Scripts do not assume that /bin/true is always in /bin
+ * Don't use __FUNCTION__ since Solaris's C99 doesn't support it.
+ * Flush stdio handles before calling setbuf(), since Solaris will
+ discard any pending output to the stream.
+ * Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 since Solaris's header files are very
+ picky about which C compiler can beused for SUSv3 conformance.
+ Use of C99 is not compatible with SUSv2 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=500),
+ and C89 is not compatible with SUSv3 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=600).
+ Since we need some SUSv3 functions, consistently use SUSv3 so
+ that e2fsprogs will build on Solaris using c99.
+ * Solaris C99 does not support varargs C preprocessor macros
+ * Solaris header files pollute the C namespace if in/netinet.h
+ is included, which conflicts with e2fsprogs' use of the kmem_cache_t
+ typedef.
+ * Solaris ships with a pathetically ancient shell in /bin/sh so we
+ avoid the use of various more avanced shell constructs such as $().
+
+The "make rpm" command will now take some extra configure optiosn from
+the build environment without needing to patch the source tree.
+
+The ext2fs_add_dir_block() function will now grow the dblist more
+aggressively as an optimization to avoid copying the array too often.
+
+The e2fsck_write_bitmaps() will write the block and inode bitmaps
+together instead of in two passes.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.41 (July 10, 2008)
+==============================
+
+Add support for ext4 filesystem features, in particular extents,
+uninit_bg, flex_bg, huge_file, and dir_nlink features. Also add
+support for checking journal checksums. Debugfs will print new
+superblock and inode fields that were defined for ext4. For example,
+the nanosecond and i_version fields of an inode, and the
+s_min_extra_isize and s_wanted_extra_isize fields from the superblock.
+Note: Resize2fs doesn't currently support the combination of flex_bg
+and !resize_inode. (Addresses Debian Bug: #388452, #425477)
+
+Tune2fs can support migrating a filesystem from using 128 byte inodes
+to 256 byte inodes, so it can take advantage of the full features of
+ext4.
+
+Add support for "undo" support. E2fsck and mke2fs can optionally
+record an undo log which can replayed by the program e2undo.
+
+E2fsck could damage a filesystem by trying to relocate inode tables
+due to corrupted block group descriptors, where the attempted inode
+table relocation would do far more harm than good. E2fsck has been
+fixed to detect this these sorts of corrupted block group descriptors
+much earlier in e2fsck processing, so it can try to use the backup
+superblock and block group descriptors first. This should be a much
+better strategy for recovering these types of corrupted filesystems.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840291)
+
+E2fsck will display a more understandable message when the last check
+field in the superblock is in the future. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#446005).
+
+E2fsck now performs more extensive and careful checks of extended
+attributes stored in the inode.
+
+Enhance mke2fs to print a more explanatory error message when
+ext2fs_get_device_size() returns EFBIG. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#488663)
+
+Fix mke2fs to use a default block size of 4k when formatting an
+external journal device. This is done by using a fixed filesystem
+type list that consists only of the single filesystem type "journal"
+when looking up configuration keys in /etc/mke2fs.conf. (Addresses
+Debian Bug: #488663)
+
+Speed up how mke2fs writes the journal data blocks by writing the disk
+blocks in larger chunks.
+
+Fix blkid handling of stale devices. Fix a bug which could cause a
+core dump while garbage collecting the blkid cache, and assure that
+blkid_find_dev_with_tag() never returns a non-existent device. Also,
+if a filesystem is found at a new /dev location, eliminate any
+duplicate stale entries which can not be verified.
+(Addresses Debian Bugs: #487758, #487783)
+
+Add more paranoid checks for LVM volumes and swap partitions in
+blkid's probe function, to reduce the chances of false positives.
+
+The mke2fs program now has a much more sophisticated system for
+controlling configuration parameters of a newly created filesystem
+based on a split filesystem and usage type system. The -t option to
+mke2fs was a deprecated alias to -c; it now specifies a filesystem
+type (ext2, ext3, ext4, etc.), while the -T option can now be a comma
+separated usage list. The filesystem type information and type
+information is used to extract configuration parameters from the
+/etc/mke2fs.conf file.
+
+The mke2fs program will no longer complain and request the -f option
+when the user tries to create a filesystem with greater than 2**31
+blocks.
+
+When creating a filesystem for the GNU Hurd use a fs-type of Hurd and
+adjust the mke2fs.conf file so filesystems for the Hurd are created
+with a blocksize of 4096 and inode size of 128, which is all it knows
+how to handle. (Addresses Debian Bug: #471977)
+
+Mke2fs will always make sure that lost+found always has at least 2
+blocks, even for filesystems with very large blocksizes (i.e., 64kb).
+
+Resize2fs will now print the minimum needed filesystem size if given
+the -P option, and will resize the filesystem to the smallest possible
+size if given the -M option.
+
+Fix resize2fs to clean up the resize_inode if all of the reserved gdt
+blocks are consumed during an off-line resize.
+
+The "ls" command in debugfs now supports the -p option, which causes
+it to quote the filenames so that spaces or tabs in directory entries
+are easily visible. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #149480; Addresses
+Sourceforge Feature Request: #1201667)
+
+Fix a potential off-by-one buffer oveflow in the fs_device_name in an
+e2image file.
+
+The chattr program will return a non-zero exit code in case of
+failures, and error messages can be suppressed with the -f option.
+(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #180596)
+
+Fix a bug in badblocks which caused it to overrun an array and likely
+crash if more than 8 test patterns are specified using the -t option.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #487298)
+
+Add support to badblocks to limit how quickly it reads from the disk
+drive (so it can be used for background scrubbing), and so it will
+abort after finding a given number of errors.
+
+Remove support for the legacy big-endian filesystem format which only
+existed on extremely long-dead PowerPC kernels almost a decade ago.
+
+Remove MASIX support from e2fsprogs.
+
+Add I/O statistics reporting to e2fsck.
+
+Update Vietnamese, Polish, French, Spanish, German, Catalan, Dutch,
+Czech translations.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #487443, #487675, #490003)
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+(Addresses Debian Bugs: #393313, #487849, #440983, #440981)
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Factor out bitmap code in preparation for adding 64-bit new-style
+bitmaps.
+
+Fix gcc -Wall warnings
+
+Fix the pkg-config files so that private librares are specified in
+"Libs.private:".
+
+Fix the libext2fs.texinfo manual so it builds with modern versions of
+texinfo.
+
+Silence the makefile from showing the awk command used to build the
+
+Clean up the badblocks group so to make it more portable and robust.
+
+Avoid using predictable filenames in /tmp in blkid's regression test
+suite. Also remove bashism's in the regression test script.
+
+If the configure script is given --with-diet-libc, don't use thread
+local storage, since diet libc doesn't support TLS. (Addresses
+Sourceforge Bug: #2000654)
+
+Fix the blkid regression test suite to tolerate older versions of
+mkswap that don't support the -U option.
+
+A few library routines have been converted to support 64-bit block
+numbers; in particular, the I/O manager functions, the test_io,
+inode_io, and unix_io managers have all be converted to support 64-bit
+operation.
+
+Debugfs can now be extended for use by test programs. See
+lib/ext2fs/extents.c for an example for how it can be used. The test
+program links against the debugfs object files, and provides
+additional commands by defining an auxiliary libss command table.
+
+The lazy_bg filesystem feature, which was only used by developer's
+testing, has been removed since it has been largely supplanted by
+uninit_bg. This also simplifies the code.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.11 (June 17, 2008)
+=================================
+
+Mke2fs, tune2fs, and resize2fs now use floating point to calculate the
+percentage of reserved blocks. (Addresses Debian Bug: #452639)
+
+Updated Spanish and Catalan translations.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #483962, #483023)
+
+Add detection for ZFS volumes to the libblkid library.
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #486463)
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fix marginal C code in probe_lvm2() function to the blkid library more
+portable for older compilers.
+
+Fix build problems on MacOS X. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1972473)
+
+Fix ext2fs_swap{16,32,64} functions so they can be used by external
+applications on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian Bug: #484879)
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.10 (May 21, 2008)
+================================
+
+When deciding whether or not to revalidate a blkid cache entry, if the
+device's mtime is newer than the last time the cached entry was
+validated, force a revalidation.
+
+Fix a potential data corruption bug in e2fsck in the journal replay.
+The chances of this is happening is extremely remote, especially the
+default data=ordered or data=writeback modes. However, if a block
+which has been journalled starts with the first four bytes 0xc03b3998,
+when e2fsck replays the journal, those four bytes will be replaced
+with zero's. Fortunately, it is highly, highly unlikely for e2fsck
+metadata to begin with those fatal 4 byte sequence, and unless
+data=ordered mode is in use, data blocks are never journaled.
+
+Updated German, Dutch, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations.
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details.
+
+Remove default sizes of types when cross compiling, since autoconf
+2.50 can figure this out automatically now.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.9 (April 27, 2008)
+=================================
+
+SuSE's security team audited uuidd and came up with a few minor
+issues. None of them are serious given that uuidd runs setuid as a
+unprivileged user which has no special access other than libuuid
+directory, but it's good to get them fixed.
+
+One additional fix in ext2fs_swap_inode_full() needed for resize2fs to
+work correctly with in-inode extended attributes.
+
+Updated German, Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
+translations.
+
+Debugfs will avoid using a pager if the standard output is not a tty.
+
+Fix debugfs and tune2fs to correctly handle daylight savings time when
+parsing a time string.
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+
+Fix fsck completion bars when multiple filesystems were being checked
+in parallel. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432865, Addresses Launchpad Bug:
+#203323, Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1926023)
+
+Fix fsck so that progress information is sent back correctly when
+multiple filesystems are being check and the output of fsck is being
+redirected to a file descriptor. Also, include the device name (w/o
+spaces) in the progress information sent back via a file descriptor.
+(Addresses Launchpad Bug: #203323, Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#1926023)
+
+Teach fsck to treat "ext4" and "ext4dev" as ext* filesystems.
+
+If logsave receives a SIGTERM or SIGINT signal, it will now pass that
+signal to its child process.
+
+Fix mke2fs's creation of are resize inode when there is a non-standard
+s_first_data_block setting.
+
+Fix bug in blkid when run by an unprivileged user; most devices were
+not reported correctly. 9Addresses Launchpad Bug: #220275)
+
+Mke2fs will not allow the logically incorect combination of
+resize_inode and meta_bg, which had previously caused mke2fs to create
+a corrupt fileystem.
+
+Fix fsck in German locales so that a 'j' means yes.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1947683)
+
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details.
+
+Update valgrind options in test_script to work with valgrind 3.2.3
+
+Update texinfo.tex to a much newer version from the FSF.
+
+Remove bashism for configure script and from the lib/ss Makefile.
+Addresses Sourceforge Bug: 1921969
+
+Fix some silently broken tests: m_no_opt, m_meta_bg, and m_raid_opt.
+
+Fix build system so that if texinfo is not installed, it won't print a
+(harmless) error message.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.8 (March 13, 2008)
+=================================
+
+Fixed e2image -I so it works on image files which are larger than 2GB.
+
+Fixed e2fsck's handling of directory inodes with a corrupt size field. If
+the size is larger than the number of blocks found in the inode, don't
+try to allocate extra empty blocks at the end of the directory to make
+up the difference; there's no point to doing that. In addition, if
+the size is not a multiple of a blocksize, always fix it.
+
+E2fsck handled a pass 2 "should never happen error" by not giving
+enough information and then core dumping. Unfortunately, it was all
+too easy to trigger the "should never happen" situation if a
+directory's inode size was not correct. This has been fixed, but
+e2fsck has also been taught how to handle this situation more
+gracefully, by simply removing the inode hash tree information, so
+that it can be rebuilt again after e2fsck's pass 3. (Addresses
+Launchpad Bug: #129395)
+
+Resize2fs had a bug resizing large inodes with extended attributes
+that was fixed in 1.40.6; unfortunately, it turned out it wasn't fixed
+completely on big-endian systems such as PowerPC. The bug should be
+completely fixed now. Yay for regression test suites. (Addresses Red
+Hat Bugzilla: #434893)
+
+Updated German, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
+translations. Many thanks to Philipp Thomas from Novell for stepping
+up to become the new German translation maintainer! (Addresses Debian
+Bugs: #302512, #370247, #401092, #412882).
+
+When e2fsck is clearing a corrupt inode's HTREE directory information,
+make it clear that it is just clearing the HTREE information, not the
+entire inode.
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+
+Programmer's notes
+------------------
+
+Add new functions, ext2fs_dblist_get_last() and
+ext2fs_dblist_drop_last(), which allows the caller to examine the last
+directory block entry added to the list, and to drop if it necessary.
+
+Fixed a portability problem in libblkid with DJGPP.
+
+Fix an obvious typo in an "internal error" message in e2fsck. Thanks
+to Philipp Thomas for pointing this out.
+
+If the info files are not built, change "make install" so it doesn't
+fail with an error code.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.7 (February 28, 2008)
+====================================
+
+Remove support for clearing the SPARSE_SUPER feature from tune2fs, and
+depreciate the -s option, since it can result in filesystems which
+e2fsck can't fix easily. There are very good reasons for wanting to
+disable sparse_super; users who wants to turn off sparse_super can use
+debugfs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840286)
+
+Add missing options to mke2fs's usage message. (Addresses Sourceforge
+Bug: #1751393)
+
+Fix bug in resize2fs when large (greater than 128 byte) inodes are
+moved when a filesystem is shrunk; it was only moving the first 128
+bytes, so extended attributes were not getting moved. (Addresses Red
+Hat Bugzilla: #434893)
+
+E2fsck now prints an explicit message when the bad block inode is
+updated, to avoid confusion about why the filesystem was modified.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #756460)
+
+Allow mke2fs and tune2fs manipulate the large_file feature.
+Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically,
+but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature.
+It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag
+explicitly, but some users seem to care. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
+#258381)
+
+Suppress message about an old-style fstab if the fstab file is empty.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #468176)
+
+Fix (really minor) bug in debugfs's find_free_block so it avoids
+reporting a free block more than once if there are too few free blocks
+in the filesystem. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1096315)
+
+Change e2fsck to no longer clear the LARGE_FILES feature flag
+automatically, when there are no more > 2GB files in the filesystem.
+It's been almost a decade since there have been kernels that don't
+support this flag, and e2fsck clears it quietly without telling the
+user why the filesystem has been changed.
+
+Fix bug which could cause libblkid to seg fault if a device mapper
+volume disappears while it is being probed. (Addresses RedHat
+Bugzilla: #433857)
+
+Inhance e2fsck's reporting of unsupported filesystem feature flags.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: #1175808)
+
+Fix option syntax in dumpe2fs for explicit superblock and blocksize
+parameters. What was currently documented in the man page has been
+broken for some time, due to getopt() implementation changes. The
+option sytax has been changed to one which is can be more portable
+supported and which is consistent with the format for extended options
+in mke2fs and tune2fs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1830994)
+
+Add support to tune2fs to clear the resize_inode feature. This
+requires an fsck afterwards. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #167816)
+
+Teach blkid to detect LVM2 physical volumes. (Addresses Red Hat
+Bugzilla: #409321)
+
+Add support for setting RAID stride and stripe-width via mke2fs and
+tune2fs. Teach dumpe2fs to print the RAID parameters.
+
+Add support for setting new superblock fields to debugfs's
+set_super_value.
+
+Add support for printing "mostly-printable" extended attributes in
+Debugfs.
+
+Add support for the -M option to fsck, which causes it to ignore
+mounted filesystem.
+
+Fix uuidd so that it creates the pid file with the correct pid number.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893244)
+
+Fix various gcc -Wall warnings.
+
+Update Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations

+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #466929)
+
+Add new flag EXT2_FLAG_NONFREE_ON_ERROR ext2fs_open2() which returns a
+partially filled-in filesystem object on an error, so that e2fsck can
+print more intelligent error messages.
+
+Add a new function e2p_edit_feature2() which allows the caller to
+specify which feature flags are OK to set or clear, and which returns
+more specific information about feature flags which are not allowed to
+be set/cleared.
+
+Set the C locale in the test_script driver since it uses [A-Za-z].
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1890526)
+
+Use fcntl locking instead of lockf in libuuid since Cygwin doesn't
+support lockf().
+
+Change configure.in to avoid using the 'dc' command unless it is
+absolutely needed. (i.e., when using parsing a WIP-style version
+number) (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893024)
+
+Add portability checks to support compilation under DJGPP.
+
+Update to the latest samba tdb code before the LGPLv3 change, which
+fixes a realloc() leak on failure.
+
+Fix memory leak in ext2fs_alloc_block().
+
+Fix makefile dependency issues for various install targets.
+(Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #1903484, #1903466, #1903456)
+
+Improve descriptions for the r_move_itable and r_resize_inode tests.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.6 (February 9, 2008)
+===================================
+
+Add support for returning labels for UDF filesystems in the blkid
+library.
+
+Fix bug in the blkid library where cached filesystems was not being
+flushed when opening USB devices returned the error ENOMEDIUM.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #463787)
+
+Added logic to the blkid library to automatically choose whether a
+filesystem should be mounted as ext4 or ext4dev, as appropriate.
+
+Allow tune2fs to set and clear the test_fs flag on ext4 filesystems.
+
+Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if e2fsprogs had been
+configured with --enable-jbd-debug.
+
+Document the BLKID_FILE environment variable in the libblkid man page
+
+Programmer's Notes:
+-------------------
+
+Update e2fsprogs translation template and Vietnamese and Czech translations
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #436058)
+
+Don't try to create $DESTDIR/etc/init.d as part of make install as we
+don't install the init.d script (and it's not the recommended way to
+start uuidd anyway). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1885085)
+
+Use thread local storage to fix a theoretical race condition if two
+threads try to format an unknown error code at the same time in the
+com_err library.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.5 (January 27, 2008)
+===================================
+
+Fix a potential overflow big in e2image if the device name is too
+long.
+
+Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
+ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better future
+compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes even on ext3
+filesystems.
+
+Teach e2fsck to ignore certain "safe" filesystem features which are
+set automatically by the kernel. Having the kernel set features
+automagically behind the user's back is a bad idea, and we should try
+to break the kernel of this habit, especially for the newer ext4
+feature flags. But for now, we will try to avoid needless full checks
+which can annoy users who are doing fresh installs.
+
+Add support in tune2fs and mke2fs for making a filesystem as being "ok
+to be used with test kernel code". This will be needed for using test
+filesystems with the latest ext4 kernel code.
+
+Change e2fsck -fD so that it sorts non-htree directories by inode
+numbers instead of by name, since that optimizes performances much
+more significantly. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #532439)
+
+If e2image fills the disk, fix it so it exits right away instead of
+spewing large numbers of error messages.
+(Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #606508)
+
+If ftruncate64() is not available for resize2fs, let it use ftrucate()
+instead, but have it check to see if the size would get truncated, and
+skip calling ftruncate in that case.
+
+Add support for detecting HFS+ filesystems in the blkid library.
+
+Add supprt in the blkid library for ext4/ext4dev filesystems.
+
+Fix a bug in blkid where it could die on a floating point exception
+when presented with a corrupt reiserfs image.
+
+Fix blkid's handling of ntfs UUID's so that leading zeros are printed
+such that UUID string is a fixed length.
+
+Add sample python bindings for the uuid library to the contrib
+directory. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #778817)
+
+Fix debugfs's 'lsdel' command so it uses ext2fs_block_iterate2 so it
+will work with large files. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request:
+#1257500 and Sourceforge Support Request: #1253511)
+
+Allow the debugfs 'undel' command to undelete an inode without linking
+it to a specific destination directory, since this might require
+allocating blocks that could overwrite some yet-to-be-recovered
+deleted files. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #967141)
+
+Update Swedish translations from the Translation Project.
+
+Programmer's Notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fix configure handling of --sbindir (which should rarely be used, but
+someone did complain, so let's fix it). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#498381)
+
+Updated e2fsprogs.spec file to include a new uuidd package
+
+Use pkg-config to determine where to find the devmapper library so we
+can find out where it is located on different distributions.
+
+Fix Makefile race so that "make -j3 distclean" works correctly
+
+Fix portability problems on non-Linux/non-Hurd/non-Masix systems,
+especially on MacOS X systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs: #1861633,
+#1819034, #1863819)
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #459403, #459475, #459614)
+
+Remove the --enable-dynamic-static configure option, and build e2fsck
+dynamically by default. If the user wants e2fsck.static, he/she will
+need to build it via "make -C e2fsck e2fsck.static"
+
+Fix various build warnings due to missing prototypes.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Patch: #1861663, #1861659)
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.4 (December 31, 2007)
+====================================
+
+Improve time-based UUID generation. A new daemon uuidd, is started
+automatically by libuuid if necessary. This daemon is setuid to allow
+updates to /var/lib/libuuid, so the clock sequence number can be
+stored and so if the clock is set backwards, it can be detected.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1529672, Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
+#233471)
+
+Filter out the NEEDS_RECOVERY feature flag when writing out the backup
+superblocks. This avoids e2fsck from concluding that a full
+filesystem check is required before backing up the superblock due to
+changes in the feature flags. (Addresses Debian Bug: #454926)
+
+Fix fsck to only treat the '#' character as a comment at the beginning
+of the line in /etc/fstab. Otherwise fstabs for the fuse filesystem
+will cause fsck to issue an bogus warning message.
+(Addresses Gentoo bug: #195405, Addresses Sourceforge bug: #1826147)
+
+Format control characters and characters with the high eighth bit set
+when printing the contents of the blkid cache, to prevent filesystems
+with garbage labels from sending escape sequences to the user's screen
+that might, for example place it in graphics mode. (Addresses Ubuntu
+Bug: #78087)
+
+Fix sign-extension problem on 64-bit systems in in the com_err
+library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1809658)
+
+Avoid division by zero error when probing an invalid FAT filesystem in
+the blkid library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1831627)
+
+Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the Translation
+Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice of the
+Translation Project.
+
+Programmer's Notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fix the libss "make check" regression test so that it works if the
+current directory is not in the user's path or if the libss shared
+library is not installed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1848974)
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+(Addresses Debian Bugs: #444883, #441872)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #437720, #451172, #458017)
+
+Fix build failure on non-Linux/non-Hurd/non-Masix systems.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1859778)
+
+Fix Hurd portability issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #437720)
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.3 (December 5, 2007)
===================================
+Fix a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted filesystem
+can be corrupted in such a way that a program using libext2fs will
+allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can lead to either a
+crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow crash. No known
+exploits exist, but main concern is where an untrusted user who
+possesses privileged access in a guest Xen environment could corrupt a
+filesystem which is then accessed by the pygrub program, running as
+root in the dom0 host environment, thus allowing the untrusted user to
+gain privileged access in the host OS. Thanks to the McAfee AVERT
+Research group for reporting this issue. (Addresses CVE-2007-5497.)
+
+Fix hueristics in blkid which could cause a disk without partitions to
+be incorrectly skipped when a loopback device is present. (Addresses
+Red Hat Bugzilla #400321.)
+
+Fix e2image so that in raw mode it does not create an image file which
+is one byte too large.
+
+Change mke2fs's usage message so it recommends the preferred -E option
+instead of the deprecated -R option.
+
+Enhance the blkid library so it will recognize squashfs filesystems.
+(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #305151.)
+
+Enhance e2fsck so it will force the backup superblocks to be backed up
+if the filesystem is consistent and key constants have been changed
+(i.e., by an on-line resize) or by e2fsck in the course of its
+operations.
+
+Enhance blkid's detection of FAT filesystems; so that USB disks with
+only a single bootable partition will not get missed.
+
+E2fsck will no longer mark a filesystem as invalid if it has time
+errors (i.e., if superblock mount time or last write time is in the
+future) and the user refuses to fix the problem.
+
+The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly
+from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local
+time instead of GMT time. Work around this as best as we can by
+providing an option, buggy_init_scripts, in /etc/e2fsck.conf which can
+be set on Ubuntu systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #441093, and Ubuntu
+Bug #131201.)
+
+Fix fsck to ignore /etc/fstab entries for bind mounts. (Addresses Red
+Hat Bugzilla #151533.)
+
+Fix e2fsck so that if the superblock is corrupt, but still looks
+vaguely like an ext2/3/4 superblock, that it automatically tries to
+fall back to the backup superblock, instead of failing with a hard
+error.
+
+Make the e2fsprogs program more robust so that they will not crash
+when opening a corrupt filesystem where s_inode_size is zero.
+
+Change e2fsck so it uses sscanf() instead of atoi() so it non-numeric
+arguments are detected as such and the parse error is reported to the
+user. (Addresses Debian Bug #435381.)
+
+Change e2fsck so it will not complain if a file has blocks reallocated
+up to the next multiple of a system's page size.
+
+Fix bug in ext2fs_check_desc() which will cause e2fsck to complain
+about (valid) filesystems where the inode table extends to the last
+block of the block group. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #214765.)
+
+Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while
+allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes.
+(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #241767.)
+
+Add Catalan translation and update Dutch and Swedish translations
+from the Translation Project.
+
+Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full(). We
+still had an issue when trying to figure out whether we need to
+byte-swap fast symlinks that contained extended attributes.
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+(Addresses SourceForge Bug #1821333.)
+
+
+Programmer's Notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fix mke2fs tests to avoid needing any significant ^M (CR) characters
+
+Add "make check" to the RPM spec file
+
+Fix "make install" and 'make unstall" in misc/Makefile.in so that it
+works correctly when the prefix is not the root directory.
+
+Fix the resize2fs tests, r_move_itable and r_resize_inode, so they
+clena up after themselves by deleting the test.img temporary file
+after completing the test.
+
+Fixed a corner case bug ext2fs_unlink() when trying to delete the
+first directory entry in a directory block and the last directory
+entry in the previous directory block is not in use. Fortunately
+ext2fs_unlink() is only used by debugfs and e2fsck, and in e2fsck in
+places where it is extremely unlikely to run into this corner case.
+
+Fix missing dependency which would cuase parallel builds to fail.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1842331.)
+
+Fix a build error on newer gcc caused by lib/ext2fs/ismounted.c
+calling open(O_CREATE) with a missing mode parameter.
+
+Fix the test_ss.c in lib/ss so it can be used as an example
+application program for the library as well as a regression test
+suite.
+
+Fix ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate() so that error codes and abort codes
+are properly passed back up through the call stack.
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.2 (July 12, 2007)
+================================
+
+A recent change to e2fsck_add_dir_info() to use tdb files to check
+filesystems with a very large number of filesystems had a typo which
+caused us to resize the wrong data structure. This would cause a
+array overrun leading to malloc pointer corruptions and segfaults.
+Since we normally can very accurately predict how big the the dirinfo
+array needs to be, this bug only got triggered on very badly corrupted
+filesystems.
+
+Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly salvange
+directories when the last entry's rec_len is bogusly too big. This
+resulted in a nonsense filesystem corruption to be reported, and
+required a second run of e2fsck to fully fix up the directory.
+
+Update tune2fs man page to include more discussion of reserved blocks
+(Addresses Launchpad bug #47817)
+
+Update Turkish, Polish, Dutch, and Vietnamese PO files from the
+Translation Project
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.1 (July 7, 2007)
+===============================
+
+Fix bug which could cause libblkid to loop forever. When revalidating
+a partition where there is obsolete information in /etc/blkid.tab, we
+end up freeing a the type tag without clearing dev->bid_type, causing
+blkid_verify() to loop forever. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432052)
+
+The Turkish translation has a bug in it where it has the translation
+of "E@e '%Dn' in %p (%i)" to "E@E". This causes @E to be expanded at
+@E, recursively, forever, until the stack fills up and e2fsck core
+dumps. We fix this by making e2fsck stop @-expansions after a
+recursive depth of 10, which is far more than we need.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1646081)
+
+Compile the default mke2fs.conf into mke2fs program. People are
+getting surprised by mke2fs creating filesystems with different
+defaults than earlier versions of mke2fs if mke2fs.conf is not
+present. So we now create a built in version of mke2fs.conf file
+which is used by mke2fs if the /etc/mke2fs.conf is not present.
+(Addresses SourceforgeBug: #1745818)
+
+Improve the config/parse_types.sh helper script. Fix a potential
+security problem if e2fsprogs is built as root (as Gentoo does!). In
+addition fix the script and how it is called from the configure script
+so that it does the right thing when cross-compiling. (Fixes Gentoo
+bug: #146903)
+
+Update Vietnamese, French, and Dutch PO files from the Translation
+Project. Also created a new e2fsprogs.pot file for translator.
+
+Fix bogus strip permission errors when building under Debian. When
+building the e2fsprogs dpkg's, the dh_strip command emits a large
+number of error messages caused by the permissions not being right.
+So run dh_fixperms before running dh_strip.
+
+Programmer's Notes:
+-------------------
+
+Add new function: profile_set_default(). This function sets the value
+of the pseudo file "<default>". If the file "<default>" had
+previously been passed to profile_init(), then def_string parameter
+will be parsed and used as the profile information for the "<default>"
+file.
+
+Fix mk_cmds's error reporting so that it is unambiguous that it is the
+mk_cmds script which is generating the error. (Obviates Gentoo patch:
+e2fsprogs-1.32-mk_cmds-cosmetic.patch)
+
+Fix the test suite to use LC_ALL instead of LANG. LC_ALL is the "high
+priority" environment variable that overrides all others, where as
+LANG is the lowest priorty environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, it
+doesn't matter whether LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES, and
+the all the rest are set. This will assure that the locale when
+running the test suites is the "C" locale. (Obviates Gentoo patch:
+e2fsprogs-1.38-tests-locale.patch)
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40 (June 29, 2007)
+==============================
+
+Fix divide by zero error in blkid's NTFS probing logic.
+
+Add new blkid -g option which causes the blkid cache to be garbage
+collected.
+
+Fix a bug in libblkid which could cause the internal field bid_type to
+become corrupted. Fortunately bid_type isn't used much, and bid_label
+and bid_uuid is only used by debugging code, so the impact of this bug
+was very minor.
+
+Mke2fs will now store the RAID stride value when a filesystem is
+created with a requested RAID stride, and then use it automatically in
+resize2fs.
+
+Mke2fs has a sanity check added to make sure (inode_size * num_inodes)
+isn't too big. In some cases Lustre users have tried specifying an
+inode size of 4096 bytes, while keeping an inode ratio of one inode
+per 4096 bytes.
+
+Improve sanity check in e2fsck's algorithm for finding a backup
+superblock, so that it won't accidentally find a superblock that was
+located in the journal, and then later reject it as being not a valid
+backup superblock.
+
+Fix e2fsck get_size logic so that it will work with the Linux floppy
+driver. The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other
+block device drivers, in that if the device has been opened with
+O_EXCL, it disallows another open(), even if the second open() does
+not have the O_EXCL flag. (Addresses Debian Bug: #410569)
+
+Fix error checking of badblock's last-block and start-block arguments.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #416477)
+
+Fix e2fsck so that it doesn't overwrite the backup superblocks when
+recovering a journal until the master superblock has been confirmed as
+being sane.
+
+Change the blkid library to be much more paranoid about concluding
+that a partition contains an NTFS filesystem, and fetch the UUID and
+LABEL information from NTFS filesystems. (Addresses Launchpad Bug:
+#110138)
+
+Factor out the code which sets the default journal size and move it
+into libext2fs.
+
+Enhance e2fsck so it will recreate the ext3 journal if the original
+journal inode was cleared to due it being corrupt after finishing the
+filesystem check.
+
+Fix e2fsck so that it updates the journal inode if it is corrupted and
+the backup journal information from the superblock was successfully
+used to recover the filesystem.
+
+Fix e2fsck so that it checks all of the blocks in the journal inode
+for validity. The original code only checked the direct blocks to
+make sure the journal inode was sane. Unfortunately, if some or all
+of the indirect or doubly indirect blocks were corrupted, this would
+not be caught.
+
+Add support in blkid to detect LUKS encrypted partitions.
+
+Add extra sanity checks for extended attributes in the case where the
+size is zero but the offset is very large.
+
+Fix byte-swapping issues for large inodes in ext2fs_read_inode_full()
+and ext2fs_get_next_inode_full().
+
+Clarify the copyright licenses used by the various libraries in
+the top-level COPYING file (Red Hat Bugzilla: 166058)
+
+Make mke2fs's defaults when /etc/mke2fs.conf doesn't exist more sane.
+
+Fix mke2fs and debugfs to support large (> 16 bit) uid's and gid's.
+
+Remove check in e2fsck which requires EA's in inodes to be sorted;
+they don't need to be sorted, and e2fsck was previously wrongly
+clearing unsorted EA's stored in the inode structure.
+
+Allow mke2fs or tune2fs to create a substantially larger journal (up
+to 10,240,000 blocks).
+
+Fix MD superblock detection, and make sure the correct UUID is
+reported from the MD superblock.
+
+Fix a signed vs. unsigned bug in debugfs.
+
+Enhance debugfs's date parser so that it accepts integer values.
+
+Fix e2fsck's pass1c accounting so it doesn't terminate too early if a
+file with multiply claimed blocks is hard linked. or not at all if the
+root directory contains shared blocks
+
+Enhance debugfs so it can modify the block group descriptors using the
+command set_block_group_descriptor.
+
+Improve e2fsck's reporting of I/O errors so it's clearer what it was
+trying to do when an error happens
+
+Fix a bug in in how e2fsprogs byte swaps inodes containing fast
+symlinks that have extended attributes. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
+#232663 and LTC Bugzilla: #27634)
+
+Fix potential file descriptor leak in ext2fs_get_device_size() in an
+error case.
+
+Add libreadline.so.5 support to libss.
+
+Impove badblocks -n/-w exclusive usage message.
+
+Fix dump_unused segfault in debugfs when a filesystem is not open
+
+Fix memory leak in blkid library. (Addresses Debian Bug: #413661)
+
+Allow the debugfs lcd command to work w/o a filesystem being open.
+(Addresses LTC Bugzilla #27513)
+
+Fix e2fsck to clear i_size for special devices with a bogus i_blocks
+field on the first pass.
+
+Fix e2fsck to set the file type of the '..' entry when connecting
+a directory to lost+found. (Addresses Lustre Bug: #11645)
+
+Enhance e2fsck to recover directories whose modes field were corrupted
+to look like special files. This is probably only useful in
+artificial test cases, but it will be useful if we ever do the "inodes
+in directory" idea for ext4.
+
+Allow debugfs to dump (and rdump) > 2GB files. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#412614)
+
+Fix resize2fs parsing of size parameter (in sector units). This was
+actually a bug in libe2p's parse_num_blocks() function. When handling
+the 's' suffix, it was ignoring the blocksize information passed in
+from the caller and always interpreting the number in terms of a 1k
+blocksize. (Addresses Debian Bug: #408298)
+
+There was a floating point precision error which could cause e2fsck to
+loop forever on really big filesystems with a large inode count.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #411838)
+
+Fix memory leak in ext2fs_write_new_inode()
+
+Add support for using a scratch files directory to reduce e2fsck's
+emory utilization on really big filesystems. This uses the TDB
+library. See the [scratch_files] section of the e2fsck.conf man page
+for more details.
+
+Fixed type-punning bug which caused dumpe2fs to crash on the Arm
+platform (Addresses Debian Bug: #397044)
+
+Add explanatory message to badblocks that -n and -w are mutually exclusive
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #371869)
+
+Allow debugfs and dumpe2fs to support fs features under development.
+
+Add support for the new flag EXT2_FLAG_SOFTSUPP_FEATURES flag to
+ext2fs_open() , which allows application to open filesystes with features
+which are currently only partially supported by e2fsprogs.
+
+Allow unix_io to support offsets greater than 2G (Addresses
+SourceForge Bug: #1547922)
+
+Fixed overflow and signed/unsigned problems caused by the number of
+blocks or inodes exceeding 2**31 or being close to 2**32-1.
+
+Add support for unsigned directory hash calculations with hints in the
+superblock to fix cross-architectural portability for htree
+directories with filenames where the high 8th bit is set. (Addresses
+Debian: #389772)
+
+Fix resize2fs so that it gives user-intelligible error messages if the
+filesystem or the kernel does not support on-line resizing.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #380548)
+
+Require mke2fs -F -F for really dangerous operations, since -F is
+needed for less dangerous operations such as creating filesystems
+images in regular files, or creating filesystems on whole block
+devices. These relatively innocuous usages should NOT be confused
+with running mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem.
+
+Allow the default inode size to be specified into the mke2fs.conf
+file.
+
+Make the smallest default journal size is big enough so that on-line
+resizing should always work.
+
+Fix silly spelling error in e2fsck. (Addresses SourceForge bug:
+#1531372)
+
+Fix debugfs coredump when lsdel is run without an open filesystem
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #378335)
+
+Fix debugfs display bug us that bytes that have the high bit set are
+displayed as "ec" instead of "ffffffec".
+
+Add support in lsattr so it will display the EXT4_EXTENTS_FL flag.
+
+Device mapper scanning wasn't working in the blkid library because the
+pathnames had an extra "/dev" when they were being probed.
+
+Add GFS/GFS2 support to the blkid library.
+
+Fix blkid support of empty FAT filesystem labels.
+
+Avoid recursing forever (or for a long time) when the blkid library
+searches for a device and there are symlinks to directories in /dev.
+
+Avoid unaligned halfword access in blkid when accessing FAT
+superblocks, as this will cause Sparc/Solaris systems to throw a
+SIGBUS error.
+
+The latest devmapper libraries requires pthreads, add -lpthreads to
+the static link libraries for e2fsck.static if devmapper is enabled.
+(Addresses Debian bug: #388718)
+
+Improve the (non-installed, for experts only) findsuper program by
+printing the uuid and label from the superblocks, as well as the
+starting and ending offsets of the filesystem given the information in
+the superblock. Omit by default printing superblocks that are likely
+found in located in an ext3 journal unless an explicit -j option is
+given.
+
+Updated Spanish, French and Dutch translations and added Catalan
+translation. (Addresses Debian bug: #411562)
+
+Use FreeBSD's DIOCGMEDIASIZE and DIOCGDINFO ioctls if available when
+determining a partition's size, since binary searching to determine
+the device doesn't work on FreeBSD.
+
+Documentation about UUID's is available in enough places, and it's
+awkward to deal with debian-legal's insanities. So I'm caving in the
+"more-lunatic-than-RMS" wing of Debian by removing RFC-4122 so we
+don't have do the dfsg tarball. Also remove the rule that only tried
+to install RFC-4122 on Ubuntu, since Ubuntu seems to want to fetch
+e2fsprogs exclusively from Debian. (Addresses Debian Bug: #407107)
+
+Fix the info-dir line so that the menu name does not contain a .info
+prefix. First of all, it's ugly, secondly, it causes the install-info
+command to fail to remove the com_err info file from the
+/usr/share/info/dir file when the comerr-dev package is removed and
+purged. (Addresses Debian Bug: #401711)
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #369761, #373004, #379695)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs #389554, #390664, #413208, #419605,
+#408352, #415560, #399155)
+
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+E2fsck now supports the %It expansion when printing a problem report.
+It will print the type of the inode in the problem context.
+
+Fix misc/Makefile.in so that it builds even if e2fsck hasn't been built yet
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1565561)
+
+Remove unused variables and other lint/gcc -Wall cleanups
+
+Add check to ext2fs_get_device_size() so it will return EFBIG for for
+filesystems contained in regular files where the filesystem image size
+is returned by stat64().
+
+Set local environment variables to C so mk_cmds and compile_et always
+work. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #1532177)
+
+Added the 64-bit byte swapping function ext2fs_swab64().
+
+Added two new helper functions to prevent 2**31/2**32-1 overflow
+problems: ext2fs_div_ceil() and e2p_percent().
+
+Create new ext2fs library inline functions ext2fs_group_first_block()
+and ext2fs_group_last_block() in order to calculate the starting and
+ending blocks in a block group.
+
+Create the generated files read-only to remind developers not to edit them.
+
+Add support for autoconf 2.60 (with backwards compatibility for older
+versions of autoconf).
+
+Added an "make rpm" target to top-level Makefile
+
+Added various FreeBSD portability fixes.
+
+Exclude mercurial files from the RPM build tree to speed up copy/build.
+
+Use root_sysconfdir to define the locations of mke2fs.conf and
+e2fsck.conf instead of using a hard-coded /etc pathname.
+
+Prevent e2fsck.h and ext2_ext_attr.h from getting included multiple times.
+
+Fixed "make clean" in blkid's Makefile.in file from removing tst_*.c files.
+
+If diff -u is supported, use it to report test failures.
+
+Updates/improvements to RPM spec file
+
+Add on-disk format definitions for the following new features:
+EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE, EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM,
+EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT,
+EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE
+
+Add a new make target "checked-failed" in the tests directory which
+reruns any failed tests
+
+Update draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt with rfc4122.txt
+
+Fix miscellaneous bugs reported by Coverity: Dead code, potential nul
+pointer dereferences, memory leaks, etc. None were security-criticial
+problems.
+
+Fix up usage and decrement error messages in the test_icount program
+
+Add debugging code to the com_err library; if the environment variable
+COMERR_DEBUG is set to 1, print out debugging messages as error tables
+are added and removed from the com_err library. If the
+COMERR_DEBUG_FILE environment variable is set (and the process is not
+setuid) the debugging messages may be redirected to a file.
+
+Change all of the e2fsprogs programs to use the newer add_error_table()
+and remove_error_table() interfaces instead of the much older
+initialize_*_error_table() function.
+
+Add TDB support into the ext2fs library. This allows us to have a
+guaranteed library we can count on always being present so we can
+store data in an on-disk database.
+
+Add support for using TDB to store the icount data, so we don't run out
+of memory when checking really large filesystems.
+
+Change the regression test suite so that it skips empty test directories.
+
+Define the l_i_iversion field in ext2_inode. The l_i_version field is
+now defined from the old l_i_reserved1 field in the ext2 inode. This
+field will be used to store high 32 bits of the 64-bit inode version
+number.
+
+Add Makefile production rule for e2fsprogs.spec in case it gets
+deleted.
+
+Add new function profile_get_uint() to allow for a clean way to fetch
+unsigned integers from the context.
+
+Add test to make sure the ext2 superblock structure is 1024 bytes.
+
+Fix typo in name of f_dup4 regression test
+
+Add new function blkid_gc_cache() which performs a garbage collection
+pass on the /etc/blkid.tab file.
+
+The ext2fs_open() function now sets EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY. In
+general, only e2fsck (after the filesystem is clean), tune2fs, and
+resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default. Most
+callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching any superblock fields
+which require the backups to be touched.
+
+Add new function to libext2fs, ext2fs_default_journal_size(), which
+returns the default journal size.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.39 (May 29, 2006)
+=============================
+
+Fix 32-bit cleanliness in e2fsprogs so that we can support filesystems
+between 2**31 and 2**32 blocks.
+
+Change mke2fs to use /etc/mke2fs.conf as a configuration file to
+configure the filesystem features, blocksize, and inode_ratio for
+different filesystem types.
+
+Mke2fs will now create filesystems hash trees and on-line resizing
+enabled by default, based on the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file.
+
+The e2fsprogs tools (resize2fs, e2fsck, mke2fs) will open the
+filesystem device node in exclusive mode to prevent accidents by
+system administrators. In the case of resize2fs and mke2fs, it will
+only use exclusive mode if the filesystem is not mounted.
+
+Fixed a bug in mke2fs which caused it to to fail when creating the
+resize inode for large filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug #346580)
+
+When allocating space for the RAID filesystems with the stride
+parameter, mke2fs will now place each portion of the group's inode
+table right up after the superblock (if present) in order to minimize
+fragmentation of the freespace.
+
+Speed up mke2fs and e2fsck by writing inode and block bitmaps more
+efficiently by writing the inode and block bitmaps in one pass, thus
+reducing the number of disk seeks required.
+
+Add support for on-line resizing to resize2fs.
+
+Fix blkid library so that logic to determine whether or not a device's
+cached information in /etc/blkid.tab needs to be verified or not
+doesn't get confused by a system clock which is insane (for example,
+if the battery is dead on a Macintosh running PPC Linux. (Addresses
+Red Hat Bug: #182188)
+
+The blkid library will now store the UUID of the external journal used
+by ext3 filesystems, so that in the future, the userspace mount binary
+can use this to find the location of the external journal and pass
+this information to the kernel.
+
+E2fsck will now consult a configuration file, /etc/e2fsck.conf to
+control how various options should be handled. See the e2fsck.conf
+man page for more details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #150295)
+
+E2fsck now prints an explanatory message when delaying a filesystem
+check when the system is running on battery. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#350306)
+
+E2fsck will detect if the superblock's last mount field or last write
+field is in the future, and offer to fix if so. (Addresses Debian Bug
+#327580) These problems will be fixed automatically in preen mode
+since Debian's boot sequence bogusly doesn't set the time correctly
+until potentially very late in the bootup process, and this can cause
+false positives which will cause users' systems to fail to boot.
+(Addresses Debian Bugs #343662 and #343645)
+
+E2fsck now checks to see if the superblock hint for the location of
+the external journal is incorrect, and if so, offer to update it.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #355644)
+
+Fix e2fsck from segfaulting on disconnected inodes that contain one or
+more extended attributes. (Addresses Debian Bug: #316736, #318463)
+
+E2fsck will stop and print a warning if the user tries running a
+read/write badblocks test on a read-only mounted root filesystem.
+
+Fix a memory leak in e2fsck's error paths. (Thanks to Michael
+C. Thompson for pointing these out; they were originally found using
+Coverity.)
+
+When resizing a file containing a filesystem, resize2fs will expand or
+truncate a file as necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #271607)
+
+Resize2fs will now automatically determine the RAID stride parameter that
+had been used to create the filesystem, and use that for newly created
+block groups. The RAID stride parameter may also be manually specified
+on the command line using the new -S option to resize2fs.
+
+Fix mke2fs so that it correctly creates external journals on
+big-endian machines (such as a S/390).
+
+Fix a bug in the e2p library which could cause dumpe2fs to (rarely)
+fail to print out the journal or hash seed UUID. (Thanks to Guillaume
+Chambraud for pointing this out.)
+
+Dumpe2fs will now print the size of the journal (if present).
+
+Fix debugfs's set_inode_field command so it can properly set the frag,
+fsize, uid_high, gid_high, and author fields in the inode instead of
+silently failing, and so that setting the i_size actually sets i_size
+correctly.
+
+Add a new debugfs command, set_current_time, which sets fs->now so
+that regression test suites can repeatedly modify the filesystem's
+last_write fields.
+
+Fix a bug in debugfs's icheck which would incorrectly report the owner
+of an extended attribute block.
+
+Fix the debugfs commands htree_dump, dx_hash, and list_dir so they print a
+print a usage message when an illegal option character is given.
+
+Fix debugfs's dump_unsued command on filesystems with a 64k blocksize
+so it won't core dump. (Addresses SourceForge bug #1424311)
+
+Fix mklost+found so that it creates a full-sized directory on
+filesystems with larger block sizes.
+
+Fix a file descriptor leak in blkid library.
+
+Fix a display bug in "badblocks -sv" so that the done message properly
+clears the block number at the end of the test. (Addresses Debian Bug
+#322231)
+
+Allow fractional percentages to the -m option in mke2fs and tune2fs
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #80205)
+
+Use fstat/fstat64 in getsize.c if the the target is a regular file,
+instead of attempting to do a binary search. Fix some fd leaks in
+error cases.
+
+Add support for device mapper library to the blkid library to ensure
+that the "best" (i.e., leaf) device is probed by the blkid library.
+
+Fix the blkid library so that it notices when an ext2 filesystem is
+upgraded to ext3.
+
+Improve the blkid's library VFAT/FAT detection; it now understands
+labels stored in the root directory, and is more paranoid about
+checking the FAT superblock values.
+
+Fixed a fd leak in the uuid library which was causing problems for the
+LVM tools. (Addresses Debian Bug: #345832)
+
+Add support for the reiser4 and software suspend partitions to the
+blkid library. Also add support for extract the label from iso9660
+filesystems.
+
+Fix a compile_et bug which miscount the number of error messages if
+continuations are used in the .et file.
+
+Add extra sanity checks to protect users from unusual cirucmstances
+where /etc/mtab may not be sane, by checking to see if the device is
+reported busy (works on Linux 2.6) kernels. (Addresses Debian Bug
+#319002)
+
+Updated French, Dutch, Polish, and Swedish translations. (Addresses Debian
+Bug: #343149, #341911, #300871, #316604, #316782, #330789)
+
+Fix use-after-free bug in e2fsck when finishing up the use of the
+e2fsck context structure.
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages and
+documentation. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #329859, #322188, #316811,
+#312515, #351268, #357951, #347295, #316040, #368392, #368393, #368394,
+#368179)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs #317862, #320389, #290429, #310950,
+#310428, #330737, #330736, #329074, #356293, #360046, #366017, #364516,
+#362544, #362970)
+
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Update config.guess and config.sub to latest version (2006-02-23) from
+FSF.
+
+Fix asm_types.h type conflicts on AMD 64 platforms. (Addresses Debian
+Bugs: #360661, #360317)
+
+Fixed the Makefile so that they work correctly on newer versions of
+GNU make (i.e., 3.81).
+
+Add valgrind support to the regression test suites, and eliminate
+false positives from valgrind.
+
+Add a regression test suite for the blkid library.
+
+Fix a fencepost error in resize2fs caught by valgrind.
+
+Fix compiler warnings about missing memcpy prototypes.
+
+We no longer have the sparc assembly code in the header file any more,
+so we shouldn't set _EXT2_HAVE_HAS_BITOPS_ for the sparc. This would
+break compiles on the sparc architectures when using gcc.
+
+In the libext2fs library, add the new field fs->now which if non-zero
+is used instead of the system time when setting various filesystem
+fields (last modified time, last write time, etc.)
+
+Fix gcc 4.01 complaints by adding a missing #include <string.h> to
+ext2fs.h which is needed since the inline functions use memcpy().
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1251062)
+
+Use BUILD_CFLAGS and BUILD_LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in
+the build system when building files in the util directory which are
+needed during the build process. This avoids potential problems when
+cross-compiling and some of the options specified in CFLAGS or LDFLAGS
+are not recognized as valid by the host compiler. (Addresses
+Sourceforge Bug #1261547)
+
+Clean up the blkid library by making the superblock and generic i/o
+functions to be more generic. Clean up interface to the probe
+function, and fix memory leak. Finallly, remove an unneeded reference
+to probe.h in the lib/blkid/resolve.c
+
+Add an ext2fs_read_bb_FILE regression test to confirm proper detection
+of invalid block #'s.
+
+The x86 asm constraints for ext2fs_{set/clear}_bit have been fixed to
+indicate that the the function read/writes the memory location.
+
+Fix various gcc -Wall complaints.
+
+Add a dependency to make sure that the subdirectories are created
+before creating all of the object files, in order to address parallel
+build problem in the library Makefiles. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#1261553)
+
+Add $(LDFLAGS) to the command line argument when generating an ELF or
+Solaris shared library, to allow cross-compile and other builds that
+might need to specify -L paths to needed libraries. (Addresses
+Sourceforge Bug #1261549)
+
+Add a new feature, EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_LAZY_BG, which is initially
+intended for testing purposes. It allows an ext2/ext3 developer to
+create very large filesystems using sparse files where most of the
+block groups are not initialized and so do not require much disk
+space. Eventually it could be used as a way of speeding up mke2fs and
+e2fsck for large filesystem, but that would be best done by adding an
+RO_COMPAT extension to the filesystem to allow the inode table to be
+lazily initialized on a per-block basis, instead of being entirely
+initialized or entirely unused on a per-blockgroup basis.
+
+Fix backwards compatibility so e2fsprogs will better compile on Linux
+2.0.35 systems.
+
+Make test scripts more robust against locale-related environment variables
+
+Fix type warning problem with sizeof() in ext2fs_open2().
+
+Fix type warning problem with time_t in debugfs.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.38 (June 30, 2005)
+==============================
+
+Fix blkid's test programs (built with "make check") compile correctly
+even without "configure --enable-blkid-debug".
+
+Fix ia64 core dump bug caused by e2fsprogs running afoul of C99 strict
+type aliasing rules on newer gcc compilers. (Addresses Red Hat
+Bugzilla ##161183.)
+
+Fix com_err library to make it more compatible with recent changes
+made to the com_err library in MIT Kerberos V5 version 1.4.
+(Addresses Sourcefroge Bug #1150146)
+
+General cleanup of messages printed by e2fsprogs programs for grammar,
+consistency, and to make life easier for translators. Fixed a few
+strings containing English that had not been marked as needing
+translations. Removed strings that do not need to be translated, to
+make life easier for translators.
+
+Mke2fs and badblocks will take advantage of a feature in Linux 2.6 to
+test to see if a device appears to be in use instead of just relying
+on /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian Bug #308594).
+
+Fix portability problem in the filefrag program affecting platforms
+where the size of an integer is smaller than the size of a long.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #309655)
+
+Mke2fs will now use a larger journal by default for filesystems
+greater than 4GB. (128 MB instead of 32MB).
+
+Mke2fs will refuse to create filesystems greater than 2**31-1 blocks,
+unless forced. This is to avoid signed vs. unsigned kernel bugs in
+block numbers that still need to be fixed.
+
+The blkid program has a new option which will more efficiently search
+for device when it is known (or expected) that only one matching
+device will be found in the system, such as when doing a lookup by
+UUID.
+
+Debian's e2fsprogs-specific initrd fragment will avoid including
+unnecessary libraries into the initrd ramdisk by unsetting LD_PRELOAD
+and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and filtering out libraries found in
+/etc/ld.so.preload. (Addresses Debian Bug: #304003)
+
+Fixed a potential portability issue in the blkid programs for
+architectures where the char type is unsigned. (Addresses Sourceforge
+Bug: #1180585)
+
+Fix a bug in filefrag so that it doesn't falsely count an extra
+discontinuity when the first block found is an indirect block.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #307607).
+
+Fix blkid's recognition of cramfs filesystems, and enhance it to be
+able to handle cramfs labels.
+
+Fix debugfs's stat command to not core dump when a filesystem is not
+open.
+
+Fix e2fsck's handling of error conditions caused by the resize inode
+claiming blocks that are also used by other inodes, a filesystem
+corruption which was commonly caused by a bug in Fedora Core 3's
+resize2fs program.
+
+Fixed bug in filefrag which caused it to fail on non-ext2/3
+filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #303509)
+
+If the superblock last mount time indicates that the system clock may
+not be accurate, then e2fsck will omit checking inodes' deletion time
+field for indications of a potential corrupted orphaned inode list.
+(Previously e2fsck only ommited these LOW_DTIME checks when the
+superblock's last write time looked insane.)
+
+Fixed a IA64 core dump bug in the e2p library which affected dumpe2fs.
+(Addresses Debian bug #302200)
+
+Make the blkid library more paranoid about being run from setgid
+programs, and to use __secure_getenv() from libc if it is available.
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+(Addresses Debian Bugs: #304591, #304592, #304594, #304597, #304593
+and Sourceforge Bug: #1189803)
+
+Updated and fixed translations.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details.
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Ext2fs_set_bit(), ext2fs_clear_bit(), and ext2fs_test_bit( have been
+changed to take an unsigned int for the bit number. Negative bit
+numbers were never allowed (and didn't make any sense), so this should
+be a safe change. This is needed to allow safe use of block numbers
+greater than or equal to 2**31.
+
+The compile_et program will avoid recreating generated foo_err.c and
+foo_err.h files if no changes are necessary. The compile_et program
+will also atomically replace these files to avoid a potential parallel
+build race problem on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#1157933)
+
+Added a new function to the blkid library, blkid_probe_all_new(),
+which only probes newly added disk devices, and change
+blkid_find_dev_with_tag() to use this function so that when a
+requested tag is not found, devices that were previously not checked
+are searched before searching all devices in the system.
+
+Added new functions to the blkid library, blkid_dev_set_search() and
+blkid_dev_has_tag().
+
+E2fsck's problem strings can now use @m and @n as abbrevations for
+"multiply-claimed" and "invalid", respectively.
+
+The e2fsprog.pot file now has an explanation of how the @-expansion
+and %-expansion works, and strings in e2fsck/problem.c which contain @
+characters now have comments in e2fsprogs.pot with the @-expansion to
+make life easier for translators.
+
+Fixed missing return values in the ext2fs library which could cause it
+to return random garbage in certain error conditions.
+
+Allow the current time to be overriden via the E2FSCK_TIME environment
+variable for use in regression tests.
+
+The test scrpit driver program now exits with a non-zero status if
+there any of its test that it ran failed.
+
+Fixed problems with parabuilds on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge
+Bug: #1157933)
+
+Fixed "make check" so that it compiles correctly even when e2fsprogs'
+header files have not be installed in the system include directories.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1180572)
+
+Fixed gcc -Wall nits.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.37 (March 21, 2005)
+===============================
+
+Add support for checking the validity of Extended Attributes stored in
+inodes to e2fsck.
+
+Add support for dumping the contents of large inodes to debugfs,
+including the extended attributes stored in inodes.
+
+Fix mke2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and the ext2fs_mkdir function so that
+when we create a new inode we make sure that the extra information in
+the inode (any extra fields in a large inode and any ea-in-inode
+information) is initialized correctly. This can take place when
+mke2fs creates the root and lost+found directory, when e2fsck creates
+a new root inode or a new lost+found directory, and when the user uses
+the debugfs write, mknod, or mkdir commands. Otherwise, the newly
+create inode could inherit garbage (or old EA information) from a
+previously deleted inode.
+
+Fixed a bug in e2fsck so it would notice if a file with an extended
+attribute block was exactly 2**32 blocks, such that i_blocks wrapped
+to zero.
+
+Added support to filefrag to detect files which are using the new
+experimental file extents format, and use the non-ext2 algorithm in
+that case. Fixed a bug to avoid reporting a false discontinuity if
+there is one or more unallocated blocks at the beginning of a file.
+
+Duplicated a check for noticing whether or not the number of blocks
+(given a certain blocksize) is greater than 2**32 when the
+BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl is not available to ext2fs_get_device_size(). This
+allows mke2fs to automatically use a larger blocksize when creating a
+filesystem on a very large device when run on systems that do not
+support BLKGETSIZE64.
+
+Fix the I18N build which was broken in e2fsprogs 1.36 because the
+build system had been switched to treat the .gmo files as shipped
+files (for backwards compatibility with systems that have older GNU
+I18N tools installed), but the gen_tarball.in script was still
+removing the .gmo files from the official source distribution.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs ##296769, #299341)
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Added new functions to the e2p library which convert between a string
+and os_type: e2p_os2string() and e2p_string2os(), and used them to
+make the generated binaries more compact.
+
+Fixed a compile-time error on Darwin systems.
+
+Cleaned up the lib/ext2fs Makefile slightly.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.36 (February 4, 2005)
+=================================
+
+All of the patches that were applied to Fedore Core 3's
+e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 have been integrated, although sometimes with a
+lot of bug fixes first. Users of Fedora Core 3 are strongly
+encouraged to upgrade to e2fsprogs 1.36 as soon as possible.
+
+Add support for filesystem with the online resizing via resize inode
+feature. Fixed numerous bugs from the Fedora patches. The Fedora
+patches also didn't bother to do any consistency checking on the
+resize inode, or add any tests to the regression test suite. The "-R
+resize=4g" option to mke2fs was a no-op in the Fedora patches, despite
+being listed in mke2fs's usage message. All of these shortcomings
+have been corrected.
+
+E2fsck can also also fix filesystems trashed by Fedora's resize2fs
+program. In order to do this, the user must run the commands:
+
+ debugfs -w /dev/hdXXX -R "features ^resize_inode"
+ e2fsck -f /dev/hdXXX
+
+Optionally, the ext2prepare command can be used to re-enable online
+resizing after the filesystem has been fixed.
+
+The fsck program will now accept an optional filedescriptor argument
+to the -C option. (The Fedora version of this patch would sometimes
+cause fsck to ignore a parameter on fsck's command line in some rare
+cases, sigh.)
+
+Make sure e2fsprogs doesn't write garbage into the reserved portion of
+large inodes.
+
+Make sure resize2fs releases the blocks belonging to the old inode
+table blocks when moving the inode table. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#290894)
+
+Skip the r_resize_inode test if resize2fs is not compiled (due to
+configure --disable-resizer)
+
+E2fsck now checks the summary filesystem accounting information, and
+if any of the information is obviously wrong, it will force a full
+filesystem check. (Addresses Debian Bug #291571)
+
+Fix e2fsck to not complain when the resize_inode feature is enabled,
+s_reserved_gdt_blocks is zero, and there is no DIND block allocated in
+the resize inode.
+
+Fix e2fsck to note delete symlinks that contain an extended attribute
+after the ext_attr feature flag has been cleared. (Addresses Red Hat
+Bugzilla #146284).
+
+Add new utility program, copy_sparse.c, which is very useful
+for dealing with large sparse files (such as e2image files).
+
+Add support for jnl_blocks[] for debugfs's set_super_value.
+
+Fix filefrag so that it works correctly with sparse files.
+
+Filefrag -v will print first and last blocks.
+
+Add interpretation of OS Creator values for FreeBSD and Lites in mke2fs
+and dumpe2fs.
+
+Add mke2fs support so that it can support filesystems larger than 4TB
+automatically, by retrying with a 4k blocksize if the device size is
+too big to be expressed using a 1k blocksize. (Addresses Sourceforge
+bug #1106631)
+
+Change blkid to test for NTFS first because Windows sometimes doesn't
+clear enough of the parition to confuse the probing routines into
+thinking the old filesystem type is still valid. (Addresses Debian
+Bug #291990)
+
+Add support for swap partition label and uuid's in the blkid library.
+
+Add support to the blkid library to recognize Oracle ASM volumes.
+
+Make blkid -t display all devices that match the specified criteria,
+not just the first one, and work more consistently when the blkid
+cache file is not available or set to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian
+Bug #290530 and #292425)
+
+Badblocks will now correctly display block numbers greater than
+999,999,999 in its progress display.
+
+The tune2fs program will not allow the user from setting a ridiculous
+number of reserved blocks which would cause e2fsck to assume the
+superblock was corrupt. E2fsck's standards for what is a ridiculous
+number of reserved block has also been relaxed to 50% of the blocks in
+the filesystem.
+
+The blkid library will return vfat in preference to msdos, and ext3 in
+preference to ext2 (if the journalling flag is set) so that mount will
+do the right thing. (Addresses Debian bug #287455)
+
+Mke2fs will now use the -E option for extended options; the old -R
+(raid options) option is still accepted for backwards compatibility.
+Fix a double-free problem in resize2fs. (Red Hat Bugzilla #132707)
+
+Mke2fs will now accept a size in megabytes, gigabytes, and other units
+(via "32m" or "4g" on the command line) if the user finds this more
+convenient than specifying a block count.
+
+Fix an obscure, hard-to find bug in "e2fsck -S" caused by an inode
+cache conherency problem.
+
+Debugfs now supports a new command, set_inode_field, which allows a
+user to manually set a specific inode field more conveniently, as well
+as set entries in the indirect block map.
+
+Debugfs's set_super_value command has been enhanced so that the user
+can set most superblock fields, including the date/time fields and
+some of the more newsly added superblock fields.
+
+E2fsprogs programs now accept an offset to be passed to the file
+specifiers, via the syntax: "/tmp/test.img?offset=1024".
+
+E2fsprogs programs will now accept blocksizes up to 65536; kernel
+support on the x86 doesn't exist for now, but it can be useful on
+other architectures with page sizes greater than 4k. There are 2.6
+kernel patches out there which enable this, but they are of this
+writing still experimental.
+
+The e2image command now takes the -s option which will scramble
+directory entries for raw image files.
+
+Fix a file descriptor leak in the filefrag program.
+
+Make sure e2fsck doesn't crash when /proc/acpi/ac_adapter is not
+present.
+
+Fix bug in debugfs where kill_file would lead to errors when deleting
+devices and symlinks. (Sourceforge Bugs #954741 and #957244)
+
+Fix bug in the blkid library when detecting the ocfs1 filesystem
+
+Remove obsolete EVMS 1.x and a.out DLL support.
+
+E2fsck will attempt to recover from a journal containing illegal blocks.
+
+Fixed two potential ordering constraint problems in e2fsck which might
+cause the filesystem to be corrupted if e2fsck is interrupted during a
+(extremely narrow) race window. Thanks to Junfeng Yang from the
+Stanford Metacompilation group for pointing this out.
+
+Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would not accurately detect whether or
+not the system is running on adaptor if the ACPI device representing
+the AC adapter didn't correspond to the what was used on IBM
+Thinkpads.
+
+Change e2fsck to accept directories greater than 32MB.
+
+Fix e2fsck so that a checkinterval of zero disables a time-based check
+of the filesystem.
+
+Debugfs will check the DEBUGFS_PAGER enviroment variable in preference
+to the PAGER environment variable. (Addresses Debian Bug #239547)
+
+Tune2fs will not mark rewrite the superblock if the feature bitmasks
+are not modified.
+
+The debugfs program will set the filetype information when creating a
+link.
+
+Add debugfs -d option to use a separate source of data blocks when
+reading from an e2image file.
+
+Add e2image -I option which allows the e2image metadata to be
+installed into a filesystem.
+
+Fixed bug in the badblocks program which caused "done" to always
+appear in english even when a translation was available. (Addresses
+Debian Bug #252836)
+
+The blkid program has a new option -o which controls the output format
+of the blkid program; this is makes blkid more convenient to use in
+shell scripts.
+
+Fix a minor bug in uuid library, which was not using the full 14 bits
+of clock sequence when generating UUID's.
+
+Fix a Y8.8888K problem in the uuid library.
+
+Logsave now creates a new session id for itself to avoid getting
+killed by init whan transitioning between init levels.
+
+Change the licensing of the UUID library to be the 3-clause BSD-style
+license; this allows Apple to use the uuid library in Darwin.
+
+Add ocfs and ocfs2 probe support into the blkid library.
+
+Fix a memory and file descriptor leak in the blkid library.
+
+The blkid library will revalidate the device if the system time is
+earlier than last verification time of the device, since that
+indicates that the system time is probably nottrustworthy.
+
+The blkid library will override the default location of the blkid.tab
+file by the BLKID_FILE environment variable, if it is available.
+
+Change the getsize functions to use the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl on Linux 2.6.
+
+Add various portability fixes for lame new versions of glibc, Darwin
+and GNU/KFreeBSD, as well as removing XSI:ism's. (Addresses Debian
+Bugs #239934, #264630, #269044, #255589, #289133)
+
+Add support for Windows 9x/NT under Cygwin.
+
+Updated and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs #236383,
+ #241940, #238741, #242995, #256669, #268148, #256760, #273679)
+
+Updated and fixed translations. (Addresses Debian bugs #244105, #262836)
+
+Update the rpm spec files so that it works better with Fedora core 2
+and RH9.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). In
+particular, fixed the Debian initrd scripts. (#241183, #248050,
+#253595, #247775)
+
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fixed various gcc -Wall warnings.
+
+The uuid library now has new functions uuid_unparse_upper() and
+uuid_unparse_lower() which forces the case of the hex digits to be
+upper case, or lower case.
+
+The build process has been speeded up by enhancing the subst program
+to update the modtime on the generated files even when the generated
+file hasn't changed.
+
+The uuid library now uses C99 stdint.h types instead of custom types.
+
+Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF.
+
+Removed out of date .cvsignore files from the source distribution.
+
+The ext2fs_unlink() function will return an error if both the name and
+inode number are unspecified, to avoid doing something surprising
+(such as unconditionally deleting the first directory entry).
+Directory entries are now deleted by coalescing them with the previous
+directory entry if possible, to avoid directory fragmentation. This
+is not an issue with the e2fsprogs suite, but may be a problem for
+some of the users of libext2fs, such as e2tools.
+
+Add support for version numbers of the form "1.36-rc1".
+
+Fix build of mke2fs.static.
+
+Add basic ext2fs library support for large (EA in inode) inodes.
+
+The test_io mechanism can now abort after n reads or writes to a
+particular block. The block is specified by TEST_IO_BLOCK environment
+variable, and the read/write count by the TEST_IO_READ_ABORT and
+TEST_IO_WRITE_ABORT environment variables. The block data is now only
+dumped if the 0x10 bit is set in TEST_IO_FLAGS.
+
+UUID_DEFINE() in the uuid library now creates a static variable, with
+__attribute__ ((unused)) if we are using GCC, so that UUID_DEFINE can
+be used in header files.
+
+Add support for the install-strip and install-shlibs-strip targets, as
+suggested by the GNU coding guielines. "make install" no longer
+strips the binaries which are installed.
+
+Remove support for the --enable-old-bitops configure option which was
+only for very old sparc systems.
+
+Remove support for --enable-clear-htree; this was only needed during
+the early development of the htree patch.
+
+Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output so it is easier to see compiler
+warnings.
+
+Update gettext files to version 0.14.1.
+
+Update to use autoconf 2.5x.
+
+Improved support for compiling e2fsprogs under dietlibc.
+
+Make e2fsprogs portable to Solaris and FreeBSD systems.
+
+Add blkid_verify(), blkid_get_library_version(), and
+blkid_parse_version_string() functions to the blkid library.
+
+Add pkg-config files for e2fsprogs's libraries.
+
+Fix "make uninstall" to so that it removes everything that is installed.
+
+Add a configure --enable-maintainer-mode option which enables the
+makefile rules to rebuild the configure script from configure.in, and
+to reubuild the .gmo files in po directory.
+
+Drop the sparc assembly bitwise operations; it's less efficient
+than the GCC 3.4 compile code and triggers compiler warnings on
+sparc64. Thanks to Matthias Andree for his analysis and suggestions.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #232326)
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.35 (February 28, 2004)
+==================================
+
+E2fsck has a new -k option, which in conjunction with the -c options,
+preserves the existing badblocks list.
+
+Cleaned up e2fsck's preen-mode messages during the passes 1b, 1c, and 1d.
+
+E2fsprogs will now deal correctly with symlinks that contain
+extended attribute information, which can be created using SE Linux.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #232328)
+
+Remove a double longjump into an invalid stack frame bug in e2fsck.
+(This was during an abort sequence, which normally worked on Linux and
+caused a core dump on other operating systems.)
+
+Fix NLS bug in e2fsck, by avoiding trying to expand an empty string
+(the NLS library will replace "" with the .po header information).
+
+Fix a bug in mke2fs which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4 to core
+dump due to a division by zero error. (Addresses Debian bug #207082)
+
+Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly fix a filesystem
+when reconnecting a directory requires creating a lost+found
+directory. (Addresses Debian bug #219640).
+
+Fixed a bug where e2fsck would bomb out if a journal needed to be
+replayed when using an alternate superblock.
+
+E2fsck will give an extra grace period before actually forcing a check
+if the laptop is running on battery. The next time fsck runs while
+the system is on the AC mains, or after the grace period is exceeded,
+the filesystem will be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #205177)
+
+E2fsck will inform the user when there are 5 or fewer mounts before a
+filesystem check will be forced. (Addresses Debian bug #157194)
+
+Fix e2fsck's handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the bad block.
+We now correctly handle the case where there is an overlap between a
+block group descriptor or a superblock and a bad block indirect block.
+In the case where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest
+"e2fsck -c".
+
+Fix byte swap bugs in e2fsck that caused the journal backup location
+in the superblock and symlinks created by SE Linux to be cleared
+by e2fsck on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian bug #228723)
+
+E2fsck -c now replaces the current list of bad blocks with the ones
+found by badblocks.
+
+Fix bugs in e2fsck and tune2fs which could cause a core dump if a
+non-existent LABEL or UUID specifier is to e2fsck or tune2fs.
+
+Fix a potential bug in e2fsck which could cause it to core dump when
+trying to print the location of the backup superblock.
+
+Protect against a potential core dump in e2fsck when printing a
+message about backup superblocks.
+
+Add support for backing up the journal inode location in the
+superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information in
+the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the
+journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode()
+will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems created
+by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via tune2fs will
+also have journal location written to the superblock as well.
+Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can use the
+journal information in the superblock.
+
+E2fsck will now update all superblocks when moving the journal inode.
+
+Shrink the size of the e2fsck executable by moving some initialized
+variables to the BSS segment.
+
+E2fsck will avoid printing the ^A and ^B characters which bracket the
+progress bar when stdout and stdin are a tty device instead of a pipe
+to another program. (Addresses Debian bug #204137)
+
+Debugfs's mkdir command will automatically expand the directory if
+necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217892)
+
+Fixed a bug in debugfs so that copying a file from /dev/null uses the
+correct mode bits. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217456)
+
+If the environment variables DEBUFS_PAGER and PAGER are not set,
+debugfs now searches for the appropriate pager to use, beginning with
+/usr/bin/pager, and then falling back to 'more' and 'less'.
+(Addresses Debian bug #221977)
+
+Debugfs will now support 2.6 device numbers where the major or minor
+number may be larger than 255. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #865289)
+
+Fix debugging printf in resize2fs. (Addresses Debian Bug #271605)
+
+Chattr now stops processing options when it sees '--'. (Addresses
+Debian bug #225188)
+
+Fix regression tests so they work correctly when e2fsprogs is compiled
+with configure --disable-htree.
+
+Fix bug in uuid library when there is no network card and the library
+is generating a time-based uuid. The random MAC address was not
+correctly generated to be a multicast address.
+
+Add compile_et extensions from Heimdall that were missed the first time
+around.
+
+Fix bug in badblocks when using O_DIRECT; we need to make sure that
+we're reading from an offset which is page aligned. For read-only and
+read-write tests, we try to recover after an error so that we can
+continue reading on page-aligned boundaries. (Addresses Debian Bug
+#203713)
+
+Badblocks now checks 64 blocks at a time instead of 16. (Addresses
+Debian bug #232240)
+
+Updated and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug
+#206845, #222606, #214920, #232406)
+
+Updated and fixed translations. (Addresses Debian bugs #200086, #214633)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog).
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fixed a build problem so that e2fsprogs would compile with the
+--enable-profile option to configure selected. (Addresses Sourceforge
+bug #811408)
+
+Fixed C++ problems with the ext2fs.h header. (Addresses Red Hat
+Bugzilla Bug #112448)
+
+Centralize code which calculates the location of the superblock
+and block group descriptors so that it is in a single library routine.
+
+Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and
+ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure.
+
+Fix compile_et to output the correct prototype for
+initialize_xxx_err_table_r() in the header file. (Addresses Debian
+bug #204332)
+
+In the lib/et makefile, make sure com_err.info is deleted on "make clean".
+
+Fix 64-bit warnings in e2fsprogs pass1b by using inttypes.h if
+present. This is for when we try stuffing an int into void * pointer.
+
+Fix type-punning which can cause gcc 3.x to miscompile code by getting
+confused about pointer aliasing. ext2fs_getmem(), ext2fs_free_mem(),
+and ext2fs_resize_mem() all now take a 'void *' instead of a 'void
+**'. The EVMS code uses an ugly union approach since we don't want to
+modify the EVMS interfaces.
+
+Make sure all Makefiles use $(MAKE) rather than hardcoded "make", to
+aid build process on systems can use invoke GNU make as "gmake".
+
+Added regression testing for mke2fs.
+
+Fixed gcc -Wall nitpicks.
+
+Fixed various compiler warnings.
+
+Add portability fixes for FreeBSD and for using fsctl under Darwin to
+support ext2 ioctl's.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.34 (July 25, 2003)
+===============================
+
+Fixed a bug introduced in E2fsprogs 1.30 which caused fsck to spin in
+a tight loop while waiting for a child fsck to exit in some cases.
+This burns CPU times which slows down the low-level filesystem check.
+
+Added code to mke2fs to assure that the default block size for a
+filesystem is at least as big as the sector size of the device, if it
+can be determined.
+
+Changed mke2fs and resize2fs to round the default size of a filesystem
+to be an even multiple of the VM pagesize in order to avoid a Linux
+kernel bug introduced when the storage of the buffer cache was moved
+into the page cache.
+
+Mke2fs will warn the user when creating a filesystem with journaling
+and a blocksize greater than 4096. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
+
+Fixed a bug in resize2fs which caused it to fail on filesystems with a
+non-empty bad block list. Resize2fs now discards any blocks on the
+badblock list which are no longer part of the filesystem as the result
+of a filesystem shrink. (Note: this means that shrinking and then
+enlarging a filesystem is no longer a reversible operation;
+information about bad blocks in the part of the filesystem which is to
+be chopped off will be lost.)
+
+Changed resize2fs so the user can use prefixes to specify the units of
+the new filesystem size (sectors, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes),
+and to make the error and informational messages explicitly display
+the blocksize used by the filesystem, in order to avoid confusion.
+(Addresses Debian bug: #189814)
+
+Added a new debugfs command, dump_unused, which dumps the contents of
+all unused blocks to stdout. (Useful as an emergency try-to-find
+deleted data command.)
+
+Added a new debugfs command, imap, which prints the location of a
+specified inode in the inode table.
+
+Fixed a bug in the badblocks program which caused it to use one bit of
+randomness in its non-destructive read/write test, instead of using a
+full 8 bits of randomness.
+
+Added a new option (-t) to badblocks, which allows the user to control
+the test pattern(s) used when checking a disk.
+
+The blkid probe function now more correctly detects UDF filesystems.
+
+Fixed a bug in the blkid library which caused it to not update its
+cache if a filesystem changes from having a label to not having a
+label.
+
+Fixed a bug in the blkid library wihch could avoid an infinite loop
+in blkid_find_dev_with_tag() if /proc is not mounted and there the
+/etc/blkid.tab file has not yet been created.
+
+Fixed the badblocks program so that the destructive read/write test
+honors the -c option, and to use O_DIRECT when possible to avoid
+thrashing the system block buffer cache.
+
+Fixed various NLS issues.
+ - Added Czech and Swedish translations
+ - Removed testing NYC translation
+ - Fixed NLS support for message abbrevations in e2fsck
+ - Remove de-utf.po, since we shouldn't have two versions using different
+ charset encodings.
+ - Used ngettext() (abbreivated with the macro P_(str1, str2, n)) to
+ simplify the statistics reporting in e2fsck.
+
+Changed configure.in so that its defaults for *BSD systems no longer
+build an fsck wrapper, and not to install in /usr/local by default.
+
+Fixed some minor spelling errors/typo's in e2fsck and the configure
+script.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog).
+
+Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #195616)
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
+
+Updated gettext implementation used by e2fsprogs to 0.11.5, and enable
+NLS support by default. (Added partial workaround for gettext/Darwin
+incompatibility problems.)
+
+Added full MIT KRB5 and Himdall compaibility support to the com_err
+library and the compile_et program. (Addresses Debian bug #191900)
+
+Added the blkid_known_fstype() function to the blkid library, which
+returns true if it is passed a filesystem type which is recognized by
+the blkid probing functions.
+
+Improved the documentation for the blkid library.
+
+Added the ext2fs_get_device_sectsize() function the the ext2fs library, which
+returns the hardware sector size of a device, if it is available.
+
+Added a dependency in the blkid library's .so file to the uuid
+library, since the former uses the latter. (Addresses Debian bug
+#194094)
+
+Added --with-diet-libc and --disable-evms to the configure script.
+
+Fixed a minor memory leak in the badblocks program.
+
+Fixed a portability problem in tune2fs --- not all systems have strptime().
+
+Fixed a portability problem in debugfs with the use of getopt() more
+than once. Old-style BSD, new-style BSD, and Linux C libraries all do
+things differently.
+
+Add support Windows support to ext2fs_get_device_size().
+
+Added (normally disabled) debugging code to the Unix I/O manager which
+causes it to disable all userspace caching if the NO_IO_CACHE is
+defined.
+
+Changed the test I/O manager so it can always be linked into e2fsck,
+mke2fs, and tune2fs if enabled via --enable-test-io-debug to the
+configure script. The test I/O manager will only print any debugging
+information if the TEST_IO_FLAGS or TEST_IO_BLOCK environment
+variables are set, which specifies which I/O operations are logged and
+a block number to watch, respectively. The log messages are sent to
+stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the
+TEST_IO_LOGFILE environment variable.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.33 (April 21, 2003)
+===============================
+
+Added a new utility program, logsave, which captures the output of a
+command in a log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
+mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in memory until it
+can write out the logfile). This is useful for capturing the
+output of fsck during the boot sequence.
+
+Fixed some portability problems that were causing problems under
+the Cygwin32 environment.
+
+Mke2fs now interprets a negative number to the -b option as a minimum
+block size.
+
+Fixed a bug in mke2fs which was incorrectly checking the argument to
+the -g option if the default block size was used. (Addresses Debian
+bug #188319)
+
+Fsck now explicitly ignores tmpfs and devpts, and it will complain if
+it can not find filesystem checkers for jfs, reseirfs, and xfs.
+
+E2fsck now updates the global free block and inode counters from the
+block group specific counters quietly. This is needed for an
+experimental patch which eliminates locking the entire filesystem when
+allocating blocks or inodes; if the filesystem is not unmounted
+cleanly, the global counts may not be accurate.
+
+Imported bug fixes to the EVMS plugin from the EVMS 2.0 tree. (EVMS
+2.0 is not yet supported; this only pulled in the bug fixes: fixed
+possible hangs caused by bugs in calling waitpid, and not setting the
+pipe to non-blocking mode; also fixed a file descriptor leak; made
+sure all functions call log entry/exit functions.)
+
+Badblocks now flushes its output file as bad blocks are discovered.
+
+The uuid library is now more paranoid about assuming the correctness
+of the /dev/random device; it mixes in a stream of bytes from
+random/srandom, just in case.
+
+Update Debian files to reflect the fact that I am now the Debian
+maintainer of e2fsprogs. Other various Debian-specific packaging
+cleanups.
+
+Move the source tarball generation functions from the top-level
+makefile to the util/gen-tarball script.
+
+Updated the Turkish .po translation file.
+
+Added Heimdal and MIT krb5 extensions to the com_err library to make
+it more compatible with com_err libraries from those distributions.
+
+Changed dumpe2fs to always display the superblock fields relating to
+the journalling and/or directory indexing feature even if those
