+E2fsprosg 1.11 (June 17, 1997)
+==============================
+
+Fixed e2fsck to detect (previously ignored) conflicts between the
+superblock or block group descriptors and block bitmaps, inode
+bitmaps, and inode tables.
+
+Fixed bug in e2fsck so that when the message printed out when a block
+or inode bitmap conflicts with other data, it has the correct group
+number.
+
+Fixed bug in e2fsck and mke2fs where the blocksize wasn't being passed
+to badblocks. This meant that not all of the filesystem was being
+tested for bad blocks!
+
+Fixed an array boundary overrun case which cropped up in
+ext2fs_badblocks_list_test when a user tried running "mke2fs -c
+-b 4096".
+
+Adjusted the number of columns printed by mke2fs when displaying the
+superblock backups to avoid running over 80 columns when making a
+really filesystem.
+
+Fixed up the man pages for e2fsck, debugfs, badblocks, chattr,
+dumpe2fs, fsck, mke2fs, and tune2fs (typos and other minor grammar
+fixes), thanks to some suggestions from Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fixed install rule in lib/ss so that ss_err.h is actually getting
+installed.
+
+Fixed bug in ext2fs_copy_bitmap; the destination bitmap wasn't getting
+bassed back to the caller.
+
+Fixed bug in ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup; it had not been
+setting the current inode number (which meant this function wasn't
+working at all).
+
+Fixed bug in ext2fs_resize_generic_bitmap; it had not be zeroing all
+blocks in the bitmap when increasing the size of the bitmap.
+
+Changed the initial number of blocks allocated by ext2fs_init_dblist()
+to be more realistic.
+
+Added a new function ext2fs_allocate_group_table, which sets up the
+group descriptor information (and allocates inode and block bitmaps,
+and inode tables for a particular group). The function was created by
+factoring out code form ext2fs_allocate_tables().
+
+Added a new function ext2fs_move_blocks which takes a bitmap of the
+blocks to be moved, and moves them to another location on the
+boardboard.
+
+Make the unix_io channel's io_channel_flush implementation calls sync()
+to to flush the kernel buffers to disk.
+
+Added a new function ext2fs_dblist_count returns the number of
+directory blocks in dblist.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.10 (April 24, 1997)
+===============================
+
+Mke2fs once again defaults to creating revision #0 filesystems, since
+people were complaining about breaking compatibility with 1.2 kernels.
+Warning messages were added to the mke2fs and tune2fs man pages that
+the sparse superblock option isn't supported by most kernels yet (1.2
+and 2.0 both don't support parse superblocks.)
+
+Added new flag to mke2fs, -R <raid options>, which allows the user to
+tell mke2fs about the RAID configuration of the filesystem. Currently
+the only supported raid option is "stride" which specifies the width
+of the RAID stripe.
+
+Fixed bug in e2fsck where pass1b would bomb out if there were any
+blocks marked bad in the inode table.
+
+Fixed rare bug in mke2fs where if the user had a very unlucky number
+of blocks in a filesystem (probability less than .002) the resulting
+filesystem would be corrupt in the last block group.
+
+Fixed bug where if e2fsck tried to allocate a block to fix a
+filesystem corruption problem and the filesystem had no free blocks,
+ext2fs_new_block() would loop forever.
+
+The configure script now checks explicitly to see if "-static" works,
+since that can't be assumed to be true --- RedHat doesn't install
+libc-static by default.
+
+Fixed bug in libext2's block iterator functions where under some
+cirmcustances, file with holes would cause the bcount parameter to the
+callback function to be incorrect. This bug didn't affect any of
+e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by Paul Mackerras, the
+author of the PPC boot loader.
+
+Removed use of static variables to store the inode cache in libext2fs.
+This caused problems if more than one filesystem was accessed via
+libext2fs (static variables in libraries are generally a bad idea).
+Again, this didn't affect e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by
+Paul Mackerras.
+
+Fixed minor bugs and version code drift to assure that e2fsprogs 1.10
+will compile cleanly with 1.2.13 kernels (even with a.out shared
+libraries!)
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Added new functions to duplicate an ext2 filesystem handle, and its
+associated substructure. New functions: ext2fs_dup_handle(),
+ext2fs_copy_dblist(), ext2fs_badblocks_copy(), ext2fs_copy_bitmap().
+Other structures, such as the io_channel and the inode_cache, now have
+a ref count so that they only get freed when they are no longer used
+by any filesystem handle. (These functions were added as part of the
+development effort for an ext2 resizer).
