+E2fsprogs 1.04 (May 16, 1996)
+=============================
+
+First "official" (1.03 was a limited release only) to support building
+e2fsprogs under Linux 2.0 kernels (as well as late model 1.3 and 1.99
+kernels).
+
+This package includes a RPM specs file, that it can be built using the
+RedHat Package Manager.
+
+E2fsck now prints a hint that if there are lots of incorrectly located
+inode bitmaps, block bitmaps, and inode table blocks, the user might
+want to try using e2fsck -b 8193 first, to see if that fares any
+better.
+
+For ext2 filesystem written with the hurd, debugfs will now print out
+the translator field when printing an inode structure.
+
+Lots of miscellaneous linking/installation cleanups:
+
+ Libraries are now linked using a relative pathname, instead of
+ relying on -L working correct. It doesn't, in many cases, including
+ current versions of GNU ld. This guarantees that the build tree is
+ linking with the right libraries, instead of the ones installed in
+ /usr/lib.
+
+ Header files, man pages, and the et/ss shell scripts are now
+ generated using a custom substitution script, instead of relying on
+ the configure script. This prevents needless recompilation of
+ files; in addition, the custom substitution script is much faster.
+
+ e2fsck may now be linked dynamically, by using the
+ --enable-dynamic-e2fsck flag to configure. This is not recommended,
+ since it increases e2fsck's dependence on other files, but some
+ people need to save disk space, and other critical programs on their
+ systems were being linked dynamically anyway.
+
+ Programs such as fsck which didn't need to be linked against
+ libext2fs (or mke2fs which didn't need to be linked against libe2p)
+ only link against libraries they actually need. Otherwise, those
+ programs would require the presense of libraries that otherwise
+ could be removed from a rescuse diskette.
+
+ The ss include files are now installed correctly so they can
+ actually be used by another package.
+
+ If the profiling libraries are built, they are now installed on a
+ "make install-libs".
