+E2fsprogs 1.43.9 (February 8, 2018)
+===================================
+
+Remove the huge file flag from libe2p (and hence from chattr/lsattr),
+since it was never made visible by the kernel. Remove the description
+of some compression related flags, and add a description of the
+encrypted file flag, and the project hierarchy flag.
+
+Remove a misplaced "MNP is unsupported" message from debugfs.
+
+Fix a build failure in lib/ext2fs/swapfs.c on big-endian systems.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #886119)

+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.43.8 (January 1, 2018)
+==================================
+
+Fix a bug where updated bitmap checks might not be written to disk.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #883869)
+
+Some newly added fields in the superblocks were not getting byte
+swapped (which were not noticed since big endian systems are amazingly
+unpopular). Fix them and compile-time checks to avoid this class of
+bugs from happening in the future. (Lustre Bug #9309)
+
+Fix a potential use after free bug in e2fsck when fixing a corrupted
+root node in directory hash tree.
+
+Fix a bug in e2fsck where a badly/maliciously corrupted superblock
+(which is not fixed due to the -n option, for example) can cause a
+floating point exception when printing the summary statistics.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #879220)
+
+Fix debugfs's ncheck command so that it correctly prints the inode
+number when printing an error message.
+
+Fix a bug in e2freefrag where it could print an incorrect free blocks
+count on a file system with the 64-bit block number feature.
+
+Update the German, Serbian, Spanish, and Ukrainian translations.
+
+Fix a bug where resize2fs's free blocks sanity check could fail with a
+false positive and refuse to check a file system with the 64-bit block
+number feature.
+
+Fix and clarify various man pages and documentations. Also fixed up

+Programming notes
+-----------------
+
+Fix various compiler warnings.
+
+Clean up Makefile output.
+
+Fix compatibility problems with glibc 2.27 casued by a collision with
+copy_file_range().
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.43.7 (October 16, 2017)
+===================================
+
+Fix the error handling code in debugfs, fuse2fs and tune2fs so errors
+trying to replay the journal won't accidentally result in a seg fault
+if reopening the file system after the journal replay fails for some
+reason.
+
+Fix resize2fs to avoid it from either failing or corrupting the file
+system image in certain corner cases when doing an off-line resize.
+
+Fix many spelling mistakes in various man pages, code comments, and

+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.43.6 (August 29, 2017)
+==================================
+
+Fix printing of quota inconsistency messages on 32-bit platforms in
+e2fsck. Also fix a bug which cause project quota problems to be
+labelled as group quota problems.
+
+Fix UI problems caused by fuzzy translations such that some messages
+are in English and some are in the foreign language, and it's not
+obvious to user how to answer yes/no questions. (Addresses Debian
+Bug: #856586).
+
+Fix some out-of-bounds memory accesses in e2fsck caused by (usually
+maliciously) corrupted file systems. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #871539,
+#871540)
+
+Optimize CPU usage in e2fsck for very large, very fragmented sparse
+files.
+
+Add an optional mode in e2fsck which trades off additional memory for
+CPU time when processing file systems that are heavily hard-linked.
+(This can be a very large amount of memory, so this feature is
+disabled for now. How to automatically determine when it would be
+helpful to enable this optimization, and when it is _safe_ to enable
+this optimization is still a bit of a research problem.)
+
+The mke2fs program will automatically upsize the inode size to 256 if
+it is not explicitly specified on command-line and the default inode
+size is not large enough to support the project quota feature
+requested by the user. If the inode size is explicitly specified to
+be 128 bytes, and the project quota is enabled mke2fs will fail since
+with an error explaining that project id's can't be supported when the
+inode size is < 256 bytes.
+
+The tune2fs program will not allow the project feature or project
+quotas to be enabled in the inode size is 128 bytes.
+
+The tune2fs program now prints a more understandable message explaining
+that the file system needs to be checked using e2fsck -f before
+running certain complex tune2fs operations. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#857336)
+
+If the proceed_delay option is enabled in /etc/e2fsck.conf, the message
+indicating that user can wait N seconds to proceed was ambiguous.
+That message has been made more clear. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#857336)
+
+Fix LFS bug which caused e2image to fail to create regular e2image
+files which are larger than 2 GiB on 32-bit platforms. (Addresses
+Debian Bug: #855246)
+
+Fix FreeBSD portability problem caused by the fact that they no longer
+use block devices. (Disks are character mode devices.)
+
+Update the Czech, French, Polish, Swedish, and Vietnamese translations.
+
+Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues.
+
+
+Programming notes
+-----------------
+
+Avoid changing the blkid cache when running tests. (Normally the
+blkid cache is not writable by the user running tests, but...)
+
+The tar file generation process will now create reproducible
+artifacts.
+
+Removed legacy entries for ext4dev in the default mke2fs.conf file.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.43.5 (August 4, 2017)
+=================================
+
+Fix a bug which could cause e2fsck to loop forever when rebuilding an
+encrypted directory with entries with identical prefixes up to an
+embedded NUL character.
+
+Fix build when configured with --disable-threads or --enable-profile.
+
+Fix ext2fs_sync_device() so it returns the proper error code if the
+BLKFLSBUF ioctl fails for some reason.
+
+Fix a potential crash in tune2fs when enabling project quota when the
+file system has no inodes by fixing error handling in the
+quota_write_inode() in libsupport.
+
+Fix a bug in debugfs's "ls -p" handling which could cause it to print
+garbage after a file name in a directory entry.
+
+Fix a number of bugs in debugfs, dumpe2fs, e2fsck, tune2fs, and
+resize2fs where a carefully/maliciously corrupted file systems (found
+by American Fuzzy Lop) could these programs to crash or hang.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #868489)
+
+E2fsck no longer issues some harmless bitmap warnings caused by a
+corrupted file system; since those corruptions will be fixed up by
+e2fsck later, there's no point issuing these internal warnings.
+
+E2fsck will now notice invalid quota inode numbers, and offer to fix
+them.
+
+Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs 1.43 which broke mke2fs's
+hugefile creation so that they aren't contiguous. (Addresses Google
+Bugs 62791459 and 638037607)
+
+Fix how backup superblocks are written in big endian systems so they
+are all correctly byte swapped.
+
+Fixed tune2fs's support for enabling and disabling project quota.
+
+The badblock program now properly handles languages which have
+multi-column wide character such as Chinese. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#860926)
+
+The mke2fs -U option now accepts "null", "clear", "random", or "time"
+just as tune2fs's -U option.
+
+Fix e2fsck's -E bmap2extent feature (which converts a file to use
+extents from indirect block maps) so that it handles sparse files correctly.
+
+Fix libext2fs to correctly handle accounting for an external xattr
+block on bigalloc file systems.
+
+Fix e2fsck to correctly handle quota accounting when deleting files
+that have multiply-claimed blocks pass 1b.
+
+Fix potential buffer overrun bug in e2fsck when using 128 byte inodes.
+(Addresses Google Bug 37326362).
+
+E2fsck's extent tree optimization can now be disabled via an
+command-line extended option or via an e2fsck.conf configuration
+parameter.
+
+The e2fsck program now properly updates the quota accounting when
+optimizing the extent tree. (Addresses Google Bug 36391645)
+
+Fix some error handling in e4crypt when operating on keyring ID's.
+
+Fix e2fsck's quota handling when the bigalloc feature is enabled.
+
+The libext2fs file system now uses readahead when opening file systems
+to speed up opening very large file systems with the meta_bg option.
+
+If e2fsck logging is enabled, e2fsck will report the exit code in the
+last line of the log file.
+
+Debugfs can now open file systems with a bad superblock checksum, and
+the show_super_stats command will print the expected checksum.
+
+Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs 1.43.4 where tune2fs was not
+able to correctly enable the quota feature. (Addresses Debian Bug
+#855417)
+
+E2fsck will only return an exit status code of 1 if it has fixed a
+file system corruption. If it only performed an optimal optimization
+of internal file system metadata, it will now return 0.
+
+Fix e2fsck so it won't check inode fields of deleted inodes. This was
+mostly harmless, but the addition of a check in 1.43.4 to enforce the
+requirement that inline data inodes have a system.data attribute
+caused a regression in xfstests generic/079. Fix this and a number of
+other checks which could lead to false positive reports of file system
+corruption.
+
+Removed a debugging printf in libsupport which could result to some
+extraneous and confusing output if the user specifies a quota type.
+
+The debugfs logdump command now accepts a new -S option which will
+cause it to print information about the journal superblock.
+
+Added a missing space in debugfs's ls -l output to separate the size
+and date fields.
+
+Update the Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian,
+Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese translations.
+
+Update various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs #867895 and #865584)

+
+Fix e2fsck to require that the system.data extended attribute is
+always present even for files smaller than 60 bytes, to be consistent
+with the kernel.
+
+Fix a bug which was causing mke2fs -d and fuse2fs to improperly handle

+or hex bytes when using debugfs's do_get_xattr command. It will now
+allow developers to see the contents of the system.data extended
+attribute.
+
+Fix a bug in mke2fs where I/O errors weren't getting properly reported
+to the user.
+
+Fix multiblock writes in the unaligned Direct I/O fallback code.
+(Which is rarely needed on Linux systems, but which is required on
+Freebsd systems.)
+
+Make sure the default mke2fs.conf file includes the uninit_bg feature
+flag. (Which was accidentally dropped in v1.43).
+
+Fix a bug in resize2fs when operating on very large file systems which
+have a block size different from the VM page size.
+
+If the reported device size is absurdly large, mke2fs will now report
+an error instead looping forever or crashing.
+
+Fix various Coverity warnings and other memory leaks in fuse2fs and
+extended attribute manipulation functions.
+
+Replace a test file but which had a "non-commercial use-only"
+copyright permission file with a newer version from the Cyrus imapd
+package which now has a 4-clause BSD license, which was making some
+lawyers nervous, even though the test file in question was only used
+in lib/et's regression testing and was never included in any compiled
+binary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #840733)
