+ * The badblocks program now correctly recovers from I/O errors when
+ direct I/O is being used. The badblocks command now also
+ supports a -B option which forces the use of buffered I/O, and
+ the -v option will provide a more detailed breakdown of read,

+ * E2fsck was previously not handling the case of a corrupted interior
+ node in the extent tree, and would crash in that case. It now will
+ handle this and related failures robustly.
+ * E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer
+ referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have

+ * Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when
+ replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.

+ * Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
+ when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be
+ moved. In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being

+ * The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap

+ * Fix tune2fs -I so it won't corrupt ext3/ext4 filesystem configured
+ for RAID storage devices.
+ * Mke2fs now understands a -U option which allows the UUID to be

+ * Mke2fs will now treat devices with exactly 16TB as if they have 16TB

+ * Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
+ filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
+ NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
+ full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
+ from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
+ * Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
+ UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
+ do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
+ started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
+ packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
+ the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
+ part of the e2fsprogs package).
+ * Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
+ lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
+ for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
+ filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).
+ * Enhance the blkid program to pretty-print control and meta
+ characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the

+ * Fix potential integer overflows passed to malloc() in resize2fs

+ Translation Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice

+ (Closes: #451172, #437720)
+ * Clarified and improved man pages (Closes: #444883, #441872)
