+
+<P>As a part of mke2fs's option parsing cleanup, the use of the -R option
+will give a warning that it is depreated (it has been so documented
+since 2005) and -E should be used instead.</P>
+
+<P>Mke2fs will not give warnings about the bigalloc and quota options in
+quiet mode.</P>
+
+<P>If an invalid journal size is given to mke2fs, it will now complain
+and exit sooner.</P>
+
+<P>Debugfs was erroneously giving spurious error messages for certain
+extent_inode subcommands which take arguments (split_node,
+replace_node, and insert_node).  This has been fixed.</P>
+
+<P>Fix the parsing of the 's' (sectors) in parse_num_blocks2, which among
+other programs is used by mke2fs.</P>
+
+<P>Change mke2fs so that it does not set the root directory to the real
+uid/gid of the mke2fs process.  Add the extended option root_owner to
+override this behavior.</P>
+
+<P>Fix resize2fs when shrinking file systems to make sure that bitmap
+blocks aren't left outside the bounds of the shrunken file system.
+This could happen with flex_bg file systems that were grown using
+the old online resizing algorithm.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck will now detect and repair corrupted extent trees which contain
+invalid extents at the end of the extent tree leaf block.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck will now longer complain about zero length extended attribute
+values.</P>
+
+<P>Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs v1.42 which caused e2image -s
+to crash.</P>
+
+<P>Add safety check so tune2fs will not attempt to set the inode size to
+be larger than the block size.</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2fsck so it can check a read-only root file system with an
+external journal.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #707030</P>
+
+<P>Fix off-line resizing of file systems with flex_bg && !resize_inode
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #696746)</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2image with large (> 32-bit) file systems (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#703067)</P>
+
+<P>Enhance chattr to allow clearing the extent flag if the kernel allows
+migrating extent based files to use indirect blocks.</P>
+
+<P>Update German translation.</P>
+
+<P>Updated/fixed various man pages.  (Addresses Debian Bugs: #712429,
+#712430, #707609)</P>
+
+<P>Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #708307)</P>
+
+<H3>Programmer's Notes</H3>
+
+<P>Use secure_getenv() in preference to __secure_getenv().</P>
+
+<P>Optimize CPU utilization of ext2fs_bg_has_super().</P>
+
+<P>Fix ext2fs_llseek() on 32-bit i386 systems to work correctly when
+SEEK_CUR is used with large files.</P>
+
+<P>The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function will no longer use
+fs->read_inode() if the caller has requested more than the base 128
+byte inode structure and the inode size is greater than 128 bytes.</P>
+
+<P>Fix build failure with --enable-jbd-debug.</P>
+
+<P>Clean up filtering of outputs for the regression tests by using a
+common sed script.</P>
+
+<P>Fix gcc -Wall and clang nits.</P>
