+
+<P>Fix a bug in e2fsck routines for reallocating an inode table which
+could cause it to loop forever on an ext4 filesystem with the FLEX_BG
+filesystem feature with a relatively rare (and specific) filesystem
+corruption. This fix causes e2fsck to try to find space for a new
+portion of the inode table in the containing flex_bg, and if that
+fails, the new portion of the inode table will be allocated in any
+free space available in the filesystem.</P>
+
+<P>Make e2fsck less annoying by only asking for permission to relocate a
+block group's inode table once, instead of for every overlapping
+block. Similarly, only ask once to recompute the block group
+checksums, instead of once for each corrupted block group's checksum.</P>
+
+<P>Fix filefrag to avoid print the extent header if the FIEMAP ioctl is
+not present, and it needs to fall back to using the FIBMAP ioctl.</P>
+
+<P>Fix filefrag to correctly print the number of extents for zero-length
+files. (Addresses Debian Bug: #540376)</P>
+
+<P>Filefrag now has a -B option which forces the use of the FIBMAP ioctl
+to more easily debug the FIBMAP code.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed filefrag for non-extent based files.</P>
+
+<P>Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
+free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.</P>
+
+<P>Fix inode resizing via tune2fs -I so that it works correctly in the
+face of non-empty bad blocks inodes, and if the filesystem was
+formatted using the "mke2fs -E stride=N" option for RAID arrays.</P>
+
+<P>Fix regression in ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() caused e2fsck -fD to fail
+and corrupt large directories if the directory needs to shrink by more
+than one block. (Addresses Debian Bug: #537510)</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2fsck's buggy_init_scritps=1 so that the if the last write and/or
+last mount times are in the future, they are corrected even if
+buggy_init_scripts is set. This is needed because otherwise resize2fs
+will refuse to resize the filesystem, even after running "e2fsck -f".
+(Addresses Launchpad bug: #373409)</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount time
+or last written time is in the future, since most people can't seem to
+believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they have a
+failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.</P>
+
+<P>Enhance dumpe2fs to dump the extent information via the 'stat'
+command, and more detailed extent information via the new command
+'dump_extents'.</P>
+
+<P>Update French, Polish, Czech, and Sweedish translation from the
+Translation Project.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details.</P>
+
+<H3>Programmer's Notes</H3>
+
+<P>Fixed miscellaneous gcc -Wall warnings.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed memory leak in error path in ext2fs_block_iterate2()</P>
+
+<P>Fixed non-Linux build of the intl directory by adding support for the
+E/Q/V macros.</P>
+
+<P>The bitmap read/write functions now treat uninitialized bitmaps as
+unallocated; this fixes a number of problems in all e2fsprogs for ext4
+filesystems when there is a need to allocate new blocks or inodes, and
+there aren't any free blocks or inodes in the already-used block
+groups.</P>
+
+<P>Improve ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to avoid creating new extents which
+get inserted into the extent tree when they are not needed.</P>
