+E2fsprogs 1.42.7 (January 1, 2013)
+==================================
+
+Add some new options to filefrag from Lustre's patches to e2fsprogs:
+ * add -k option to print extents in kB-sized units (like df -k)
+ * add -b {blocksize} to print extents in blocksize units
+ * add -e option to print extent format, even when FIBMAP is used
+ * add -X option to print extents in hexadecimal format
+
+Fix resize2fs so that it can handle off-line resizes of file systems
+with the flex_bg feature but without a resize_inode (or if we run out
+of reserved gdt blocks). This also fixes a problem where if the user
+creates a filesystem with a restricted number of reserved gdt blocks,
+an off-line resize which grows the file system could potentially
+result in file system corruption.
+
+Fix a bug in mke2fs where parsing "-E resize=NNN" will result in a
+mke2fs crash due to a divide-by-zero if the 64bit file system feature
+is enabled.
+
+Add to debugfs the functionality to corrupt a specific file system
+block via the "zap_block" command.
+
+Add to debugfs the functionality to print out a hex dump of a block in
+the file system via the "block_dump" command.
+
+Add to debugfs the functionality to manipulate the extent tree
+directly via the "extent_open" command.
+
+Fix e2fsck so it can detect and fix inconsistencies in the interior
+nodes of an inode's extent tree.
+
+Fix mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option. (Addresses
+Lustre Bug: LU-1888)
+
+If e2fsprogs is compiled without --enable-quota, make sure that
+tune2fs can not turn on the feature for new-style quota support, since
+afterwards, none of the e2fsprogs tools will be willing to touch that
+file system.
+
+Optimize e2fsck's so that it uses much less CPU for large file
+systems. This can result in significant speedups, especially on
+CPU-constrained systems. This was primarily done by optimizing
+libext2fs's bitmap functions. (Addresses Google Bug: #7534813)
+
+Fix debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent through
+the pager.
+
+Fixed debugfs's "dump_file" and "cat" functions work correctly
+on file systems whose block size is greater than 8k.
+
+Fix e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses much
+less memory. (Addresses Google Bug: 7269948)
+
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Fix gcc -Wall nits.
+
+Fix a spelling typo in the libext2fs texinfo documentation.
+
+Change the output from "make check" so that tools such as emacs's "M-x
+compile" does not mistake the output as containing a compiler error.
+
+Export two new functions from libext2fs: ext2fs_extent_node_split()
+and ext2fs_extent_goto2().
+
+The ext2fs_extents_fix_parents() was fixed so it does not modify the
+location of the extent handle if its current location is at an
+interior node, rather than a leaf node of an inode's extent tree.
+
+Add a regression test to assure that e2fsck can correctl fix an
+inconsistent interior node in an inode's extent tree.
+
+Fixed the help text in the configure script for --enable-quota.
+
+The m68k-specific bitops code has been removed since they were
+incorrectly treating bit numbers with the high bit set as signed
+integers. Furthermore, modern compilers do a good enough job
+optimizing the generic code there is no point in having the m68k
+specific asm statements.
+
+Fixed how we link the test programs so they always use the static
+libraries, so that we test using the libraries which we have just
+built.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.42.6 (September 21, 2012)
+=====================================
+
+When mke2fs creates file systems with lazy itable initialization, the
+progress updates for writing the inode table happens so quickly that
+on a serial console, the time to write the progress updates can be the
+bottleneck. So mke2fs will now only update its progress indicators
+once a second.
+
+Resize2fs will skip initializing the inode tables if the kernel
+supports lazy_itable_init, which speeds up growing off-line growth of
+uninit_bg file systems significantly. Resize2fs will now also
+correctly set the itable_unused field in the block group descriptor to
+speed up the first e2fsck after the file system is grown.
+
+Resize2fs has been fixed so that on-line resizing of meta_bg file
+systems work correctly. This is needed to grow file system which are
+larger than 16T.
+
+Resize2fs will now correctly handle resizing file systems to 16TB on
+32-bit file systems when "16TB" is specified on the command line.
+
+Fix mke2fs so that it will be careful to set the reserved blocks ratio
+larger than 50%; this can happen when creating small file systems and
+when the last block group is dropped because there are not enough
+blocks to support the metadata blocks in the last block group.
+
+Fixed spelling mistake in debugfs's help message.
+
+Fixed a potential seg fault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error while
+reading the superblock.
+
+Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #677497)
+
+Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#3559210)
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+The configure option --enable-relative-symlink was broken so that it
+needed to be --enable-symlink-relative-symlinks. We will support both
+for at least two years, but then the worng configure option will be
+removed.
+
+Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.5 so the link order for
+e2fsprogs' libraries will be correct for both static and shared
+linking. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3554345)
+
+Add support for e2fsprogs to be compiled using clang/LLVM.
+
+Fix portability problems on non-Linux systems: avoid compile failures
+on systems that don't have malloc.h
+
+Fix f_mmp regression test suite so that debugfs gets killed if the
+test is interrupted.
+
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.42.5 (July 29, 2012)
+================================
+
+Fixed a bug with mke2fs where if there is only 8 inodes per block
+group, the calculation of the number of uninitialized inodes in the
+first block group would go negative. This resulted in "mke2fs -N 256
+-t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m" trying to write so many blocks that /tmp
+would run out of space. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3528892)
+
+Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names.
+(AddressesSourceforge Bug: #3540545)
+
+Previously, e2fsck would only allow a mounted file system to be
+checked if it was the root file system and it was mounted read-only.
+Now it will allow any file system mounted read-only to be checked if
+the -f option is specified. This makes it easier to test how e2fsck
+handles checking file systems which are mounted without having to test
+on the root file system.
+
+Fixed a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
+read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
+superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
+to check the file system after every single boot.
+
+The e4defrag program can now handle device symlinks, such as
+/dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on a less
+human-friendly name such as /dev/dm-2. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
+#707209)
+
+Fixed filefrag so it will not crash with a segfault on files from a
+virtual file system such as /proc. (e.g., "filefrag
+/proc/partitions")
+
+Fixed filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents.
+(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #840848)
+
+Fixed a file descriptor leak in logsave which could cause it to hang.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #682592)
+
+Fixed e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an error
+if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.
+
+Fixed tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when the
+last quota inode is removed.
+
+Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap is
+updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs -O
+^quota <dev>'.
+
+Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
+quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
+files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
+e2fsck doesn't complain.
+
+Improved e2fsck's verbose reporting statistics, and allow the more
+verbose reporting to be enabled via /etc/e2fsck.conf.
+
+Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #678395)
+
+Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #680114)
+
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Fixed portability problems on other operating systems (e.g., Hurd and
+FreeBsd) caused by the attempted inclusion of <sys/quota.h>.
+
+Make sure that shared libraries link with the shared libraries built
+in the build tree, instead of the system provided libraries.
+Previously, libraries and executables were linked with the system
+libraries if present, and possibly using static archives instead of
+shared libraries. This was also problematic since if libext2fs.so is
+linked with a static libcom_err.a from system, the build system would
+attempt to link without -lpthread. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#3542572)
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.42.4 (June 12, 2012)
+================================
+
+Fixed more 64-bit block number bugs (which could end up corrupting
+file systems!) in e2fsck, debugfs, and libext2fs.
+
+Fixed e2fsck's handling of the journal's s_errno field. E2fsck was
+not properly propagating the journal's s_errno field to the superblock
+field; it was not checking this field if the journal had already been
+replayed, and if the journal *was* being replayed, the "error bit"
+wasn't getting flushed out to disk.
+
+Fixed a false positive complaint by e2fsck if all of the extents in
+the last extent tree block are uninitalized and located after the end
+of the file as defined by i_size.
+
+The dumpe2fs will now display the journal's s_errno field if it is
+non-zero, and it will also display the journal's 64-bit feature flag
+if present.
+
+Fix e2fsck so that it always opens the device file in exclusive mode
+when it might need to modify the file system, and never if the -n
+option is specified. (Previously, there were a few corner cases where
+it might get things wrong in either direction.)
+
+E2fsck now correctly truncates or deallocates extent-mapped inodes on
+the orphan list. The root cause was a bug in libext2fs's block
+iterator which could end up skipping an extent when the last block in
+an extent is removed, causing the current extent to be removed from
+the extent tree.
+
+E2fsck now correctly sets the global free block and inode counts when
+truncating or removing inodes on the orphan list in preen mode.
+Previously, it would leave these values would be set incorrectly,
+which is largely a cosmetic issue since the kernel no longer pays
+attention to those fields, but it can cause spurious complaints in
+subsequent e2fsck runs.
+
+Fix i_blocks accounting when the libext2fs library needs to add or
+remove an extent tree block on bigalloc file systems.
+
+The lsattr and chattr programs now support the No_COW flag for the
+benefit of btrfs.
+
+Debugfs now interprets date strings of the form @ddd as ddd seconds
+after the beginning of the epoch. This is handy when setting an inode
+number into the d_time field when debugging orphan list handling.
+
+Fix a precedence bug with built-in quota support which might result in
+e2fsck paying attention to the quota inode field even if the built-in
+quota feature flag is not set. Fortunately, in practice that
+superblock field should be zero for non-built-in quota file systems,
+so it's unlikely this bug would have caused problems.
+
+Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #674453,
+#674694)
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+The regression test suite can now run the integration tests in the
+tests directory in parallel, via "make -jN check".
+
+Add new test, f_zero_extent_length which tests e2fsck's handling of
+the case where all of the extents in the last extent tree block are
+uninitialized extents after i_size.
+
+Add a new test, f_jnl_errno, which checks handling of an error
+indication set in the journal superblock.
+
+Fix the test f_jnl_64bit so that it properly checks e2fsck's handling
+of a 64-bit journal.
+
+Add two tests, f_orphan_indirect_inode and f_orphan_extent_inode which
+tests e2fsck's handling of orphan inodes in preen mode, and truncation
+of extent inodes on the orphan list.
+
+Fixed more OS X portability issues.
