+
+<P>When mke2fs creates file systems with lazy itable initialization, the
+progress updates for writing the inode table happens so quickly that
+on a serial console, the time to write the progress updates can be the
+bottleneck.  So mke2fs will now only update its progress indicators
+once a second.</P>
+
+<P>Resize2fs will skip initializing the inode tables if the kernel
+supports lazy_itable_init, which speeds up growing off-line growth of
+uninit_bg file systems significantly.  Resize2fs will now also
+correctly set the itable_unused field in the block group descriptor to
+speed up the first e2fsck after the file system is grown.</P>
+
+<P>Resize2fs has been fixed so that on-line resizing of meta_bg file
+systems work correctly.  This is needed to grow file system which are
+larger than 16T.</P>
+
+<P>Resize2fs will now correctly handle resizing file systems to 16TB on
+32-bit file systems when "16TB" is specified on the command line.</P>
+
+<P>Fix mke2fs so that it will be careful to set the reserved blocks ratio
+larger than 50%; this can happen when creating small file systems and
+when the last block group is dropped because there are not enough
+blocks to support the metadata blocks in the last block group.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed spelling mistake in debugfs's help message.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a potential seg fault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error while
+reading the superblock.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #677497)</P>
+
+<P>Updated/fixed various man pages.  (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#3559210)</P>
+
+<H3>Programmer's Notes</H3>
+
+<P>The configure option --enable-relative-symlink was broken so that it
+needed to be --enable-symlink-relative-symlinks.  We will support both
+for at least two years, but then the worng configure option will be
+removed.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.5 so the link order for
+e2fsprogs' libraries will be correct for both static and shared
+linking.  (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3554345)</P>
+
+<P>Add support for e2fsprogs to be compiled using clang/LLVM.</P>
+
+<P>Fix portability problems on non-Linux systems: avoid compile failures
+on systems that don't have malloc.h</P>
+
+<P>Fix f_mmp regression test suite so that debugfs gets killed if the
+test is interrupted.</P>
