   2 ====================================
   3
   4 Updates/Fixes since v1.44.4:
   5
   6 UI and Features
   7 ---------------
   8
   9 When e2fsck notices it could optimize an extent tree, it will now ask
  10 "Optimize?" instead of "Fix?", which was confusing some users since it
  11 implied that something was broken.
  12
  13
  14 Fixes
  15 -----
  16
  17 Use 64-bit counters to track the number of files that are defragmented
  18 using in e4defrag, to avoid overflows when more than 2**32 files are
  19 defragmented.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #888899)
  20
  21 Correctly translate Posix ACL's.  This was a regression introduced in
  22 v1.44.4.   (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #1807288)
  23
  24 Use the online free block counts so e2freefrag's percentages are
  25 correct.
  26
  27 Fix a false warning that tune2fs will take long time to change a UUID if
  28 the metadata_csum feature is not enabled.
  29
  30 E2fsck will only offer to set the inline_data feature flag when the
  31 inline flag is set on the inode, *and* the system.data xattr is present.
  32
  33 E4defrag will handle the case where it is running as root and it can't
  34 find the file system to open more gracefully.  (Addresses Debian Bug:
  35 #907634)
  36
  37 Fix a bug where resize2fs was failing to update the extent tree
  38 checksums in an corner case.  (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #1798562)
  39
  40 Fix fuse2fs's command line parsing when options are specified after the
  41 target device/image.
  42
  43 Fix a bug which could cause e2fsprogs tools to segfault on a corrupted
  44 file system where the journal's s_nr_users is impossibly large.
  45
  46 E2image now includes the mmp block (if needed) when creating a
  47 metadata-only image.
  48
  49 If various Verity handling bugs which made it completely unusable in
  50 e2fsprogs 1.44.4.
  51
  52 Fox a bug in tune2fs where it would dereference of freed memory after
  53 replaying the journal.
  54
  55
  56 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
  57 --------------------------------------------------------------

  66 Adjusted the copyright license for lib/blkid/version.c to be LGPL (and
