+E2fsprogs 1.43-WIP (December 28, 2013) -- 38cc555a5fc
+======================================
+
+Add support for the ext4 metadata checksum feature.
+
+Check to make sure file system features which can not be supported by
+HURD are not enabled if the file system is created to be
+HURD-compatible.
+
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Reduce the use of libc functions in libext2fs that may not be present
+in the boot loader environment, at least for those functions that are
+needed by boot loadsers such as yaboot.
+
+Support for the MMP feature can now be disabled at compile time.
+
+ E2fsprogs 1.42.12 (August 25, 2014)
+ ===================================
+
+ Fix various e2fsck bugs when trying to repair bigalloc file systems.
+
+ E2fsck can now repair a file system with an overly large
+ s_first_meta_bg field, which had previously caused all e2fsprogs
+ programs to crash when trying to open such a file system.
+
+ Fix e2fsck so that it can correctly fix a number of rare file system
+ corruptions that were discovered when using a file system fuzzer.
+
+ Fix e2fsck so it does not try to write back block group descriptors if
+ they have not been modified.
+
+ Mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last flex_bg so
+ they are contiguous. This reduces free space fragmentation in a
+ freshly created file system, as well as allowing mke2fs commands which
+ request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.
+
+ Mke2fs now creates hugefiles more efficiently (with fewer extent tree
+ blocks).
+
+ Fix a 32/64-bit overflow bug that could cause resize2fs to loop
+ forever. (Addresses-Launchpad-Bug: #1321958)
+
+ The resize2fs program will now use much less memory when resizing very
+ large file systems.
+
+ Fix a bug which could cause resize2fs to get confused and produce a
+ corrupted file system when shrinking a file system that had been
+ previously expanded and converted to use the meta_bg file system
+ format, but which no longer needs to use the meta_bg file system
+ format any longer. This typically happened with large (> 16TB) file
+ systems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #756922)
+
+ The e4defrag program will now defrag backwards-allocated files.
+
+ Fix tune2fs updating UUID's when manipulating file systems with
+ external journals (both the file system and journal UUID).
+
+ Fix tune2fs so it can remove an external journal for file systems with
+ a 1k block size.
+
+ Add a new debugfs command, "inode_dump", which prints the inode in hex
+ and ASCII format.
+
+ The debugfs's "set_inode_field" will now automatically allocate blocks
+ for indirect blocks and extent tree blocks.
+
+ Fix debugfs's "set_inode_field" so can properly handle
+ "block[IND|DIND|TIND]".
+
+ The debugfs "rdump" command will now take multiple source arguments.
+
+ Fixed a double close(2) bug in "rdump" and "rdump -p".
+
+ Fix debugfs's argument parsing for the freefrag command.
+
+ Fix filefrag to properly handle using the FIBMAP ioctl (with -B).
+ (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #1356496)
+
+ Clarified messages that were confusing users in debugfs, e2fsck,
+ mke2fs, and resize2fs (Addresses Debian Bugs: #758029, #757543,
+ #757544)
+
+ Dumpe2fs will now complain if extra arguments are given to it.
+ (Addresses Debian Bug: #758074)
+
+ Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #726760)
+
+ Update Czech, French, Spanish, and Sweedish translations.
+
+ Programmer's Notes
+ ------------------
+
+ The Unix I/O layer will now use pread[64]/pwrite[64] to reduce the
+ number of system calls issued.
+
+ Fixed profiled build.
+
+ The libext2fs library will now more efficiently split an extent tree
+ index block when appending to an end of a file.
+
+ Fixed free block accounting for 64-bit file systems.
+
+ Add a new function ext2s_inode_size_set() which takes care of all of
+ the required feature flag modifications.
+
+ The regression tests no longer require the presence of the md5sum
+ program.
+
+ Fix build failure on MIPS platforms on Debian (Addresses Debian Bug:
+ #754605)
+
+ Fix various Coverity warnings (#1225003, #1229243, #1252003)
+
