+<P>Fixed a bug with mke2fs where if there is only 8 inodes per block
+group, the calculation of the number of uninitialized inodes in the
+first block group would go negative.  This resulted in "mke2fs -N 256
+-t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m" trying to write so many blocks that /tmp
+would run out of space.  (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3528892)</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3540545)</P>
+
+<P>Previously, e2fsck would only allow a mounted file system to be
+checked if it was the root file system and it was mounted read-only.
+Now it will allow any file system mounted read-only to be checked if
+the -f option is specified.  This makes it easier to test how e2fsck
+handles checking file systems which are mounted without having to test
+on the root file system.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
+read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
+superblock.  Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
+to check the file system after every single boot.</P>
+
+<P>The e4defrag program can now handle device symlinks, such as
+/dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on a less
+human-friendly name such as /dev/dm-2.  (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
+#707209)</P>
+
+<P>Fixed filefrag so it will not crash with a segfault on files from a
+virtual file system such as /proc.  (e.g., "filefrag
+/proc/partitions")</P>
+
+<P>Fixed filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents.
+(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #840848)</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a file descriptor leak in logsave which could cause it to hang.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #682592)</P>
+
+<P>Fixed e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an error
+if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when the
+last quota inode is removed.</P>
+
+<P>Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap is
+updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs -O
+^quota &lt;dev&gt;'.</P>
+
+<P>Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
+quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
+files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
+e2fsck doesn't complain.</P>
+
+<P>Improved e2fsck's verbose reporting statistics, and allow the more
+verbose reporting to be enabled via /etc/e2fsck.conf.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #678395)</P>
+
+<P>Updated/fixed various man pages.  (Addresses Debian Bugs: #680114)</P>
+
+
+<H3>Programmer's Notes</H3>
+
+<P>Fixed portability problems on other operating systems (e.g., Hurd and
+FreeBsd) caused by the attempted inclusion of <sys/quota.h>.</P>
+
+<P>Make sure that shared libraries link with the shared libraries built
+in the build tree, instead of the system provided libraries.
+Previously, libraries and executables were linked with the system
+libraries if present, and possibly using static archives instead of
+shared libraries.  This was also problematic since if libext2fs.so is
+linked with a static libcom_err.a from system, the build system would
+attempt to link without -lpthread.  (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#3542572)</P>
