+E2fsprogs 1.42.13 (May 17, 2015)
+================================
+
+Fixed a potential buffer overflow while closing a file system in
+libext2fs.  (CVE-2015-1572, Addresses Debian Bug: #778948)
+
+Fixed a bug which could cause e2fsck to corrupt Hurd file systems.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #760275)
+
+Fixed a deadlock which occurs when using systemd and e2fsck.conf's
+logging feature.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #775234)
+
+Fixed a bug which could cause programs using libext2's inode table
+scanning functions from crashing on certain corrupted file systems.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #773795)
+
+Fixed dumpe2fs so it won't crash if the user doesn't specify a block
+device (file system).  (Addresses Debian Bug: #764293)
+
+Fixed e2fsck so if it notices unexpected HTREE blocks in pass 2, it
+will report the correct directory inode containing the inconsistency.
+
+If e2fsck fails to grow the dir_info structure due realloc(3) not
+having enough memory, it will now fail with explanatory message
+instead of staggering on failing with a confusing internal error
+messages.
+
+The tune2fs program will zero out the superblock journal backup
+information when removing a journal from a file system.
+
+The mke2fs program now enables the large_file feature by default.
+
+Fixed a bug which could cause badblocks to crash if there are millions
+and millions of bad blocks.
+
+Fixed some use-after-free bug in resize2fs and e2fsck.
+
+Fixed a memory leak in tune2fs.
+
+Fixed some bigendian bugs that had crept into both indirect and extent
+handling inside libext2fs.
+
+Updated/fixed various man pages.
+
+Update Esperanto, German, and Spanish translations.  Added Danish
+translation.
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Fixed coverity, sparce gcc -Wall, and clang warnings/nits.
+
+Clean up some build system problems (build failures with various
+configure options, fix Posix portability issues, etc.)
+
+The functions ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats[2]() and
+ext2fs_block_alloc_stats[2]() now check the inode and block numbers
+passed to them, to avoid crashes caused by buggy callers.
+
+The libext2fs directory iterator will now check for an invalid
+directory entry length instead of possibly walking off the end of the
+directory buffer.
