+
+<P>Add support so that mke2fs can create hugefiles so that they are
+aligned relative to the beginning of the disk, instead of relative to
+the beginning of the partition, using the mke2fs.conf configuration
+parameter "hugefiles_align_disk".</P>
+
+<P>Fix a bug which causes e2fsck to abort a journal replay on a file
+system with bigalloc enabled. (Addresses Debian
+ Bug: <A HREF="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=744953"
+ TARGET="_blank">#744953</A>)</P>
+
+<P>Add sanity checks so that mke2fs will refuse insanely large flex_bg
+counts specified by the -G option. Insanely large flex_bg sizes can
+result in a file system which can't be unmounted, or with extremely
+pessimal metadata layouts.</P>
+
+<P>The mke2fs program will provide a better metadata layout for
+moderately large (but believable) flex_bg counts, such as 133,072.</P>
+
+<P>The mke2fs progam will also check the kernel version number to
+determine whether the lazy_itable_init option is supported, so that
+lazy inode table initialization can be used even if the ext4 is
+compiled as a module which isn't loaded at the time that mke2fs is
+run.</P>
+
+<P>Add description of ext4's mount options to the ext4 section 5 man
+page.</P>
+
+<P>Improve the chattr man page and clean up the chattr usage message.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck will now automatically fix a last mount time or last write time
+which is in the future in preen mode, instead of aborting the fsck
+check.</P>
+
+<P>Mke2fs will now check the file system revision number requested by the
+command line, and reject it if it is too large. A file system with an
+unsupported revision number will not be accepted by any of the other
+file system tools, and this command line option is rarely used, so
+let's try to help the user not shoot their own foot off.</P>
+
+<P>The debugfs progam can now set the error count and associated
+first_error and last_error fields in the superblock using the
+set_super_value command.</P>
+
+<P>Resize2fs will not try to calculate the minimum size of a file system
+if it contains errors. Otherwise a very badly corrupted file system
+image can cause the minimum size calculation to loop forwever. Since
+resize2fs will not allow a file system marked as containing errors to
+be resized. It's pointless to calculate the minimum size, so just
+skip it.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a typo in one of mke2fs's error message.</P>
+
+<P>If filefrag runs into an error, it will continue processing the rest
+of the files specified on thec ommand line, but then exit with an
+error code.</P>
+
+<P>Filefrag now prints some additional new flags (such as
+FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED), and print unknown flags as hex values.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed support in filefrag for files with > 2**32 blocks on 32-bit
+platforms.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a file descriptor leak in debugfs when copying files.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.10 which caused mke2fs to fail
+to create file systems larger than 2GB on 32-bit platforms.

+<P>The gcc "-checker" option has been long deprecated, so remove support

+<P>Update to the latest version of the config.status and config.rpath
+files, as well as newer versions of the autoconf files in aclocal.m4.
+Also, move the e2fsprogs-specific macros to acinclude.m4, which allows
+people who want to use autoreconf to do so.</P>
