-E2fsprogs 1.35-WIP (August 21, 2003)
-===================================
+E2fsprogs 1.40.2 (July 12, 2007)
+================================
+
+A recent change to e2fsck_add_dir_info() to use tdb files to check
+filesystems with a very large number of filesystems had a typo which
+caused us to resize the wrong data structure. This would cause a
+array overrun leading to malloc pointer corruptions and segfaults.
+Since we normally can very accurately predict how big the the dirinfo
+array needs to be, this bug only got triggered on very badly corrupted
+filesystems.
+
+Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly salvange
+directories when the last entry's rec_len is bogusly too big. This
+resulted in a nonsense filesystem corruption to be reported, and
+required a second run of e2fsck to fully fix up the directory.
+
+Update tune2fs man page to include more discussion of reserved blocks
+(Addresses Launchpad bug #47817)
+
+Update Turkish, Polish, Dutch, and Vietnamese PO files from the
+Translation Project
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40.1 (July 7, 2007)
+===============================
+
+Fix bug which could cause libblkid to loop forever. When revalidating
+a partition where there is obsolete information in /etc/blkid.tab, we
+end up freeing a the type tag without clearing dev->bid_type, causing
+blkid_verify() to loop forever. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432052)
+
+The Turkish translation has a bug in it where it has the translation
+of "E@e '%Dn' in %p (%i)" to "E@E". This causes @E to be expanded at
+@E, recursively, forever, until the stack fills up and e2fsck core
+dumps. We fix this by making e2fsck stop @-expansions after a
+recursive depth of 10, which is far more than we need.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1646081)
+
+Compile the default mke2fs.conf into mke2fs program. People are
+getting surprised by mke2fs creating filesystems with different
+defaults than earlier versions of mke2fs if mke2fs.conf is not
+present. So we now create a built in version of mke2fs.conf file
+which is used by mke2fs if the /etc/mke2fs.conf is not present.
+(Addresses SourceforgeBug: #1745818)
+
+Improve the config/parse_types.sh helper script. Fix a potential
+security problem if e2fsprogs is built as root (as Gentoo does!). In
+addition fix the script and how it is called from the configure script
+so that it does the right thing when cross-compiling. (Fixes Gentoo
+bug: #146903)
+
+Update Vietnamese, French, and Dutch PO files from the Translation
+Project. Also created a new e2fsprogs.pot file for translator.
+
+Fix bogus strip permission errors when building under Debian. When
+building the e2fsprogs dpkg's, the dh_strip command emits a large
+number of error messages caused by the permissions not being right.
+So run dh_fixperms before running dh_strip.
+
+Programmer's Notes:
+-------------------
+
+Add new function: profile_set_default(). This function sets the value
+of the pseudo file "<default>". If the file "<default>" had
+previously been passed to profile_init(), then def_string parameter
+will be parsed and used as the profile information for the "<default>"
+file.
+
+Fix mk_cmds's error reporting so that it is unambiguous that it is the
+mk_cmds script which is generating the error. (Obviates Gentoo patch:
+e2fsprogs-1.32-mk_cmds-cosmetic.patch)
+
+Fix the test suite to use LC_ALL instead of LANG. LC_ALL is the "high
+priority" environment variable that overrides all others, where as
+LANG is the lowest priorty environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, it
+doesn't matter whether LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES, and
+the all the rest are set. This will assure that the locale when
+running the test suites is the "C" locale. (Obviates Gentoo patch:
+e2fsprogs-1.38-tests-locale.patch)
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.40 (June 29, 2007)
+==============================
+
+Fix divide by zero error in blkid's NTFS probing logic.
+
+Add new blkid -g option which causes the blkid cache to be garbage
+collected.
+
+Fix a bug in libblkid which could cause the internal field bid_type to
+become corrupted. Fortunately bid_type isn't used much, and bid_label
+and bid_uuid is only used by debugging code, so the impact of this bug
+was very minor.
+
+Mke2fs will now store the RAID stride value when a filesystem is
+created with a requested RAID stride, and then use it automatically in
+resize2fs.
+
+Mke2fs has a sanity check added to make sure (inode_size * num_inodes)
+isn't too big. In some cases Lustre users have tried specifying an
+inode size of 4096 bytes, while keeping an inode ratio of one inode
+per 4096 bytes.
+
+Improve sanity check in e2fsck's algorithm for finding a backup
+superblock, so that it won't accidentally find a superblock that was
+located in the journal, and then later reject it as being not a valid
+backup superblock.
+
+Fix e2fsck get_size logic so that it will work with the Linux floppy
+driver. The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other
+block device drivers, in that if the device has been opened with
+O_EXCL, it disallows another open(), even if the second open() does
+not have the O_EXCL flag. (Addresses Debian Bug: #410569)
+
+Fix error checking of badblock's last-block and start-block arguments.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #416477)
+
+Fix e2fsck so that it doesn't overwrite the backup superblocks when
+recovering a journal until the master superblock has been confirmed as
+being sane.
+
+Change the blkid library to be much more paranoid about concluding
+that a partition contains an NTFS filesystem, and fetch the UUID and
+LABEL information from NTFS filesystems. (Addresses Launchpad Bug:
+#110138)
+
+Factor out the code which sets the default journal size and move it
+into libext2fs.
+
+Enhance e2fsck so it will recreate the ext3 journal if the original
+journal inode was cleared to due it being corrupt after finishing the
+filesystem check.
+
+Fix e2fsck so that it updates the journal inode if it is corrupted and
+the backup journal information from the superblock was successfully
+used to recover the filesystem.
+
+Fix e2fsck so that it checks all of the blocks in the journal inode
+for validity. The original code only checked the direct blocks to
+make sure the journal inode was sane. Unfortunately, if some or all
+of the indirect or doubly indirect blocks were corrupted, this would
+not be caught.
+
+Add support in blkid to detect LUKS encrypted partitions.
+
+Add extra sanity checks for extended attributes in the case where the
+size is zero but the offset is very large.
+
+Fix byte-swapping issues for large inodes in ext2fs_read_inode_full()
+and ext2fs_get_next_inode_full().
+
+Clarify the copyright licenses used by the various libraries in
+the top-level COPYING file (Red Hat Bugzilla: 166058)
+
+Make mke2fs's defaults when /etc/mke2fs.conf doesn't exist more sane.
+
+Fix mke2fs and debugfs to support large (> 16 bit) uid's and gid's.
+
+Remove check in e2fsck which requires EA's in inodes to be sorted;
+they don't need to be sorted, and e2fsck was previously wrongly
+clearing unsorted EA's stored in the inode structure.
+
+Allow mke2fs or tune2fs to create a substantially larger journal (up
+to 10,240,000 blocks).
+
+Fix MD superblock detection, and make sure the correct UUID is
+reported from the MD superblock.
+
+Fix a signed vs. unsigned bug in debugfs.
+
+Enhance debugfs's date parser so that it accepts integer values.
+
+Fix e2fsck's pass1c accounting so it doesn't terminate too early if a
+file with multiply claimed blocks is hard linked. or not at all if the
+root directory contains shared blocks
+
+Enhance debugfs so it can modify the block group descriptors using the
+command set_block_group_descriptor.
+
+Improve e2fsck's reporting of I/O errors so it's clearer what it was
+trying to do when an error happens
+
+Fix a bug in in how e2fsprogs byte swaps inodes containing fast
+symlinks that have extended attributes. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
+#232663 and LTC Bugzilla: #27634)
+
+Fix potential file descriptor leak in ext2fs_get_device_size() in an
+error case.
+
+Add libreadline.so.5 support to libss.
+
+Impove badblocks -n/-w exclusive usage message.
+
+Fix dump_unused segfault in debugfs when a filesystem is not open
+
+Fix memory leak in blkid library. (Addresses Debian Bug: #413661)
+
+Allow the debugfs lcd command to work w/o a filesystem being open.
+(Addresses LTC Bugzilla #27513)
+
+Fix e2fsck to clear i_size for special devices with a bogus i_blocks
+field on the first pass.
+
+Fix e2fsck to set the file type of the '..' entry when connecting
+a directory to lost+found. (Addresses Lustre Bug: #11645)
+
+Enhance e2fsck to recover directories whose modes field were corrupted
+to look like special files. This is probably only useful in
+artificial test cases, but it will be useful if we ever do the "inodes
+in directory" idea for ext4.
+
+Allow debugfs to dump (and rdump) > 2GB files. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#412614)
+
+Fix resize2fs parsing of size parameter (in sector units). This was
+actually a bug in libe2p's parse_num_blocks() function. When handling
+the 's' suffix, it was ignoring the blocksize information passed in
+from the caller and always interpreting the number in terms of a 1k
+blocksize. (Addresses Debian Bug: #408298)
+
+There was a floating point precision error which could cause e2fsck to
+loop forever on really big filesystems with a large inode count.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #411838)
+
+Fix memory leak in ext2fs_write_new_inode()
+
+Add support for using a scratch files directory to reduce e2fsck's
+emory utilization on really big filesystems. This uses the TDB
+library. See the [scratch_files] section of the e2fsck.conf man page
+for more details.
+
+Fixed type-punning bug which caused dumpe2fs to crash on the Arm
+platform (Addresses Debian Bug: #397044)
+
+Add explanatory message to badblocks that -n and -w are mutually exclusive
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #371869)
+
+Allow debugfs and dumpe2fs to support fs features under development.
+
+Add support for the new flag EXT2_FLAG_SOFTSUPP_FEATURES flag to
+ext2fs_open() , which allows application to open filesystes with features
+which are currently only partially supported by e2fsprogs.
+
+Allow unix_io to support offsets greater than 2G (Addresses
+SourceForge Bug: #1547922)
+
+Fixed overflow and signed/unsigned problems caused by the number of
+blocks or inodes exceeding 2**31 or being close to 2**32-1.
+
+Add support for unsigned directory hash calculations with hints in the
+superblock to fix cross-architectural portability for htree
+directories with filenames where the high 8th bit is set. (Addresses
+Debian: #389772)
+
+Fix resize2fs so that it gives user-intelligible error messages if the
+filesystem or the kernel does not support on-line resizing.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #380548)
+
+Require mke2fs -F -F for really dangerous operations, since -F is
+needed for less dangerous operations such as creating filesystems
+images in regular files, or creating filesystems on whole block
+devices. These relatively innocuous usages should NOT be confused
+with running mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem.
+
+Allow the default inode size to be specified into the mke2fs.conf
+file.
+
+Make the smallest default journal size is big enough so that on-line
+resizing should always work.
+
+Fix silly spelling error in e2fsck. (Addresses SourceForge bug:
+#1531372)
+
+Fix debugfs coredump when lsdel is run without an open filesystem
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #378335)
+
+Fix debugfs display bug us that bytes that have the high bit set are
+displayed as "ec" instead of "ffffffec".
+
+Add support in lsattr so it will display the EXT4_EXTENTS_FL flag.
+
+Device mapper scanning wasn't working in the blkid library because the
+pathnames had an extra "/dev" when they were being probed.
+
+Add GFS/GFS2 support to the blkid library.
+
+Fix blkid support of empty FAT filesystem labels.
+
+Avoid recursing forever (or for a long time) when the blkid library
+searches for a device and there are symlinks to directories in /dev.
+
+Avoid unaligned halfword access in blkid when accessing FAT
+superblocks, as this will cause Sparc/Solaris systems to throw a
+SIGBUS error.
+
+The latest devmapper libraries requires pthreads, add -lpthreads to
+the static link libraries for e2fsck.static if devmapper is enabled.
+(Addresses Debian bug: #388718)
+
+Improve the (non-installed, for experts only) findsuper program by
+printing the uuid and label from the superblocks, as well as the
+starting and ending offsets of the filesystem given the information in
+the superblock. Omit by default printing superblocks that are likely
+found in located in an ext3 journal unless an explicit -j option is
+given.
+
+Updated French and Dutch translations and added Vietnamese translation.
+
+Use FreeBSD's DIOCGMEDIASIZE and DIOCGDINFO ioctls if available when
+determining a partition's size, since binary searching to determine
+the device doesn't work on FreeBSD.
+
+Documentation about UUID's is available in enough places, and it's
+awkward to deal with debian-legal's insanities. So I'm caving in the
+"more-lunatic-than-RMS" wing of Debian by removing RFC-4122 so we
+don't have do the dfsg tarball. Also remove the rule that only tried
+to install RFC-4122 on Ubuntu, since Ubuntu seems to want to fetch
+e2fsprogs exclusively from Debian. (Addresses Debian Bug: #407107)
+
+Fix the info-dir line so that the menu name does not contain a .info
+prefix. First of all, it's ugly, secondly, it causes the install-info
+command to fail to remove the com_err info file from the
+/usr/share/info/dir file when the comerr-dev package is removed and
+purged. (Addresses Debian Bug: #401711)
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #369761, #373004, #379695)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs #389554, #390664, #413208, #419605,
+#408352, #415560, #399155)
+
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+E2fsck now supports the %It expansion when printing a problem report.
+It will print the type of the inode in the problem context.
+
+Fix misc/Makefile.in so that it builds even if e2fsck hasn't been built yet
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1565561)
+
+Remove unused variables and other lint/gcc -Wall cleanups
+
+Add check to ext2fs_get_device_size() so it will return EFBIG for for
+filesystems contained in regular files where the filesystem image size
+is returned by stat64().
+
+Set local environment variables to C so mk_cmds and compile_et always
+work. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #1532177)
+
+Added the 64-bit byte swapping function ext2fs_swab64().
+
+Added two new helper functions to prevent 2**31/2**32-1 overflow
+problems: ext2fs_div_ceil() and e2p_percent().
+
+Create new ext2fs library inline functions ext2fs_group_first_block()
+and ext2fs_group_last_block() in order to calculate the starting and
+ending blocks in a block group.
+
+Create the generated files read-only to remind developers not to edit them.
+
+Add support for autoconf 2.60 (with backwards compatibility for older
+versions of autoconf).
+
+Added an "make rpm" target to top-level Makefile
+
+Added various FreeBSD portability fixes.
+
+Exclude mercurial files from the RPM build tree to speed up copy/build.
+
+Use root_sysconfdir to define the locations of mke2fs.conf and
+e2fsck.conf instead of using a hard-coded /etc pathname.
+
+Prevent e2fsck.h and ext2_ext_attr.h from getting included multiple times.
+
+Fixed "make clean" in blkid's Makefile.in file from removing tst_*.c files.
+
+If diff -u is supported, use it to report test failures.
+
+Updates/improvements to RPM spec file
+
+Add on-disk format definitions for the following new features:
+EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE, EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM,
+EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT,
+EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE
+
+Add a new make target "checked-failed" in the tests directory which
+reruns any failed tests
+
+Update draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt with rfc4122.txt
+
+Fix miscellaneous bugs reported by Coverity: Dead code, potential nul
+pointer dereferences, memory leaks, etc. None were security-criticial
+problems.
+
+Fix up usage and decrement error messages in the test_icount program
+
+Add debugging code to the com_err library; if the environment variable
+COMERR_DEBUG is set to 1, print out debugging messages as error tables
+are added and removed from the com_err library. If the
+COMERR_DEBUG_FILE environment variable is set (and the process is not
+setuid) the debugging messages may be redirected to a file.
+
+Change all of the e2fsprogs programs to use the newer add_error_table()
+and remove_error_table() interfaces instead of the much older
+initialize_*_error_table() function.
+
+Add TDB support into the ext2fs library. This allows us to have a
+guaranteed library we can count on always being present so we can
+store data in an on-disk database.
+
+Add support for using TDB to store the icount data, so we don't run out
+of memory when checking really large filesystems.
+
+Change the regression test suite so that it skips empty test directories.
+
+Define the l_i_iversion field in ext2_inode. The l_i_version field is
+now defined from the old l_i_reserved1 field in the ext2 inode. This
+field will be used to store high 32 bits of the 64-bit inode version
+number.
+
+Add Makefile production rule for e2fsprogs.spec in case it gets
+deleted.
+
+Add new function profile_get_uint() to allow for a clean way to fetch
+unsigned integers from the context.
+
+Add test to make sure the ext2 superblock structure is 1024 bytes.
+
+Fix typo in name of f_dup4 regression test
+
+Add new function blkid_gc_cache() which performs a garbage collection
+pass on the /etc/blkid.tab file.
+
+The ext2fs_open() function now sets EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY. In
+general, only e2fsck (after the filesystem is clean), tune2fs, and
+resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default. Most
+callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching any superblock fields
+which require the backups to be touched.
+
+Add new function to libext2fs, ext2fs_default_journal_size(), which
+returns the default journal size.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.39 (May 29, 2006)
+=============================
+
+Fix 32-bit cleanliness in e2fsprogs so that we can support filesystems
+between 2**31 and 2**32 blocks.
+
+Change mke2fs to use /etc/mke2fs.conf as a configuration file to
+configure the filesystem features, blocksize, and inode_ratio for
+different filesystem types.
+
+Mke2fs will now create filesystems hash trees and on-line resizing
+enabled by default, based on the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file.
+
+The e2fsprogs tools (resize2fs, e2fsck, mke2fs) will open the
+filesystem device node in exclusive mode to prevent accidents by
+system administrators. In the case of resize2fs and mke2fs, it will
+only use exclusive mode if the filesystem is not mounted.
+
+Fixed a bug in mke2fs which caused it to to fail when creating the
+resize inode for large filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug #346580)
+
+When allocating space for the RAID filesystems with the stride
+parameter, mke2fs will now place each portion of the group's inode
+table right up after the superblock (if present) in order to minimize
+fragmentation of the freespace.
+
+Speed up mke2fs and e2fsck by writing inode and block bitmaps more
+efficiently by writing the inode and block bitmaps in one pass, thus
+reducing the number of disk seeks required.
+
+Add support for on-line resizing to resize2fs.
+
+Fix blkid library so that logic to determine whether or not a device's
+cached information in /etc/blkid.tab needs to be verified or not
+doesn't get confused by a system clock which is insane (for example,
+if the battery is dead on a Macintosh running PPC Linux. (Addresses
+Red Hat Bug: #182188)
+
+The blkid library will now store the UUID of the external journal used
+by ext3 filesystems, so that in the future, the userspace mount binary
+can use this to find the location of the external journal and pass
+this information to the kernel.
+
+E2fsck will now consult a configuration file, /etc/e2fsck.conf to
+control how various options should be handled. See the e2fsck.conf
+man page for more details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #150295)
+
+E2fsck now prints an explanatory message when delaying a filesystem
+check when the system is running on battery. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#350306)
+
+E2fsck will detect if the superblock's last mount field or last write
+field is in the future, and offer to fix if so. (Addresses Debian Bug
+#327580) These problems will be fixed automatically in preen mode
+since Debian's boot sequence bogusly doesn't set the time correctly
+until potentially very late in the bootup process, and this can cause
+false positives which will cause users' systems to fail to boot.
+(Addresses Debian Bugs #343662 and #343645)
+
+E2fsck now checks to see if the superblock hint for the location of
+the external journal is incorrect, and if so, offer to update it.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #355644)
+
+Fix e2fsck from segfaulting on disconnected inodes that contain one or
+more extended attributes. (Addresses Debian Bug: #316736, #318463)
+
+E2fsck will stop and print a warning if the user tries running a
+read/write badblocks test on a read-only mounted root filesystem.
+
+Fix a memory leak in e2fsck's error paths. (Thanks to Michael
+C. Thompson for pointing these out; they were originally found using
+Coverity.)
+
+When resizing a file containing a filesystem, resize2fs will expand or
+truncate a file as necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #271607)
+
+Resize2fs will now automatically determine the RAID stride parameter that
+had been used to create the filesystem, and use that for newly created
+block groups. The RAID stride parameter may also be manually specified
+on the command line using the new -S option to resize2fs.
+
+Fix mke2fs so that it correctly creates external journals on
+big-endian machines (such as a S/390).
+
+Fix a bug in the e2p library which could cause dumpe2fs to (rarely)
+fail to print out the journal or hash seed UUID. (Thanks to Guillaume
+Chambraud for pointing this out.)
+
+Dumpe2fs will now print the size of the journal (if present).
+
+Fix debugfs's set_inode_field command so it can properly set the frag,
+fsize, uid_high, gid_high, and author fields in the inode instead of
+silently failing, and so that setting the i_size actually sets i_size
+correctly.
+
+Add a new debugfs command, set_current_time, which sets fs->now so
+that regression test suites can repeatedly modify the filesystem's
+last_write fields.
+
+Fix a bug in debugfs's icheck which would incorrectly report the owner
+of an extended attribute block.
+
+Fix the debugfs commands htree_dump, dx_hash, and list_dir so they print a
+print a usage message when an illegal option character is given.
+
+Fix debugfs's dump_unsued command on filesystems with a 64k blocksize
+so it won't core dump. (Addresses SourceForge bug #1424311)
+
+Fix mklost+found so that it creates a full-sized directory on
+filesystems with larger block sizes.
+
+Fix a file descriptor leak in blkid library.
+
+Fix a display bug in "badblocks -sv" so that the done message properly
+clears the block number at the end of the test. (Addresses Debian Bug
+#322231)
+
+Allow fractional percentages to the -m option in mke2fs and tune2fs
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #80205)
+
+Use fstat/fstat64 in getsize.c if the the target is a regular file,
+instead of attempting to do a binary search. Fix some fd leaks in
+error cases.
+
+Add support for device mapper library to the blkid library to ensure
+that the "best" (i.e., leaf) device is probed by the blkid library.
+
+Fix the blkid library so that it notices when an ext2 filesystem is
+upgraded to ext3.
+
+Improve the blkid's library VFAT/FAT detection; it now understands
+labels stored in the root directory, and is more paranoid about
+checking the FAT superblock values.
+
+Fixed a fd leak in the uuid library which was causing problems for the
+LVM tools. (Addresses Debian Bug: #345832)
+
+Add support for the reiser4 and software suspend partitions to the
+blkid library. Also add support for extract the label from iso9660
+filesystems.
+
+Fix a compile_et bug which miscount the number of error messages if
+continuations are used in the .et file.
+
+Add extra sanity checks to protect users from unusual cirucmstances
+where /etc/mtab may not be sane, by checking to see if the device is
+reported busy (works on Linux 2.6) kernels. (Addresses Debian Bug
+#319002)
+
+Updated French, Dutch, Polish, and Swedish translations. (Addresses Debian
+Bug: #343149, #341911, #300871, #316604, #316782, #330789)
+
+Fix use-after-free bug in e2fsck when finishing up the use of the
+e2fsck context structure.
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages and
+documentation. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #329859, #322188, #316811,
+#312515, #351268, #357951, #347295, #316040, #368392, #368393, #368394,
+#368179)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs #317862, #320389, #290429, #310950,
+#310428, #330737, #330736, #329074, #356293, #360046, #366017, #364516,
+#362544, #362970)
+
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Update config.guess and config.sub to latest version (2006-02-23) from
+FSF.
+
+Fix asm_types.h type conflicts on AMD 64 platforms. (Addresses Debian
+Bugs: #360661, #360317)
+
+Fixed the Makefile so that they work correctly on newer versions of
+GNU make (i.e., 3.81).
+
+Add valgrind support to the regression test suites, and eliminate
+false positives from valgrind.
+
+Add a regression test suite for the blkid library.
+
+Fix a fencepost error in resize2fs caught by valgrind.
+
+Fix compiler warnings about missing memcpy prototypes.
+
+We no longer have the sparc assembly code in the header file any more,
+so we shouldn't set _EXT2_HAVE_HAS_BITOPS_ for the sparc. This would
+break compiles on the sparc architectures when using gcc.
+
+In the libext2fs library, add the new field fs->now which if non-zero
+is used instead of the system time when setting various filesystem
+fields (last modified time, last write time, etc.)
+
+Fix gcc 4.01 complaints by adding a missing #include <string.h> to
+ext2fs.h which is needed since the inline functions use memcpy().
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1251062)
+
+Use BUILD_CFLAGS and BUILD_LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in
+the build system when building files in the util directory which are
+needed during the build process. This avoids potential problems when
+cross-compiling and some of the options specified in CFLAGS or LDFLAGS
+are not recognized as valid by the host compiler. (Addresses
+Sourceforge Bug #1261547)
+
+Clean up the blkid library by making the superblock and generic i/o
+functions to be more generic. Clean up interface to the probe
+function, and fix memory leak. Finallly, remove an unneeded reference
+to probe.h in the lib/blkid/resolve.c
+
+Add an ext2fs_read_bb_FILE regression test to confirm proper detection
+of invalid block #'s.
+
+The x86 asm constraints for ext2fs_{set/clear}_bit have been fixed to
+indicate that the the function read/writes the memory location.
+
+Fix various gcc -Wall complaints.
+
+Add a dependency to make sure that the subdirectories are created
+before creating all of the object files, in order to address parallel
+build problem in the library Makefiles. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#1261553)
+
+Add $(LDFLAGS) to the command line argument when generating an ELF or
+Solaris shared library, to allow cross-compile and other builds that
+might need to specify -L paths to needed libraries. (Addresses
+Sourceforge Bug #1261549)
+
+Add a new feature, EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_LAZY_BG, which is initially
+intended for testing purposes. It allows an ext2/ext3 developer to
+create very large filesystems using sparse files where most of the
+block groups are not initialized and so do not require much disk
+space. Eventually it could be used as a way of speeding up mke2fs and
+e2fsck for large filesystem, but that would be best done by adding an
+RO_COMPAT extension to the filesystem to allow the inode table to be
+lazily initialized on a per-block basis, instead of being entirely
+initialized or entirely unused on a per-blockgroup basis.
+
+Fix backwards compatibility so e2fsprogs will better compile on Linux
+2.0.35 systems.
+
+Make test scripts more robust against locale-related environment variables
+
+Fix type warning problem with sizeof() in ext2fs_open2().
+
+Fix type warning problem with time_t in debugfs.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.38 (June 30, 2005)
+==============================
+
+Fix blkid's test programs (built with "make check") compile correctly
+even without "configure --enable-blkid-debug".
+
+Fix ia64 core dump bug caused by e2fsprogs running afoul of C99 strict
+type aliasing rules on newer gcc compilers. (Addresses Red Hat
+Bugzilla ##161183.)
+
+Fix com_err library to make it more compatible with recent changes
+made to the com_err library in MIT Kerberos V5 version 1.4.
+(Addresses Sourcefroge Bug #1150146)
+
+General cleanup of messages printed by e2fsprogs programs for grammar,
+consistency, and to make life easier for translators. Fixed a few
+strings containing English that had not been marked as needing
+translations. Removed strings that do not need to be translated, to
+make life easier for translators.
+
+Mke2fs and badblocks will take advantage of a feature in Linux 2.6 to
+test to see if a device appears to be in use instead of just relying
+on /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian Bug #308594).
+
+Fix portability problem in the filefrag program affecting platforms
+where the size of an integer is smaller than the size of a long.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #309655)
+
+Mke2fs will now use a larger journal by default for filesystems
+greater than 4GB. (128 MB instead of 32MB).
+
+Mke2fs will refuse to create filesystems greater than 2**31-1 blocks,
+unless forced. This is to avoid signed vs. unsigned kernel bugs in
+block numbers that still need to be fixed.
+
+The blkid program has a new option which will more efficiently search
+for device when it is known (or expected) that only one matching
+device will be found in the system, such as when doing a lookup by
+UUID.
+
+Debian's e2fsprogs-specific initrd fragment will avoid including
+unnecessary libraries into the initrd ramdisk by unsetting LD_PRELOAD
+and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and filtering out libraries found in
+/etc/ld.so.preload. (Addresses Debian Bug: #304003)
+
+Fixed a potential portability issue in the blkid programs for
+architectures where the char type is unsigned. (Addresses Sourceforge
+Bug: #1180585)
+
+Fix a bug in filefrag so that it doesn't falsely count an extra
+discontinuity when the first block found is an indirect block.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #307607).
+
+Fix blkid's recognition of cramfs filesystems, and enhance it to be
+able to handle cramfs labels.
+
+Fix debugfs's stat command to not core dump when a filesystem is not
+open.
+
+Fix e2fsck's handling of error conditions caused by the resize inode
+claiming blocks that are also used by other inodes, a filesystem
+corruption which was commonly caused by a bug in Fedora Core 3's
+resize2fs program.
+
+Fixed bug in filefrag which caused it to fail on non-ext2/3
+filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #303509)
+
+If the superblock last mount time indicates that the system clock may
+not be accurate, then e2fsck will omit checking inodes' deletion time
+field for indications of a potential corrupted orphaned inode list.
+(Previously e2fsck only ommited these LOW_DTIME checks when the
+superblock's last write time looked insane.)
+
+Fixed a IA64 core dump bug in the e2p library which affected dumpe2fs.
+(Addresses Debian bug #302200)
+
+Make the blkid library more paranoid about being run from setgid
+programs, and to use __secure_getenv() from libc if it is available.
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+(Addresses Debian Bugs: #304591, #304592, #304594, #304597, #304593
+and Sourceforge Bug: #1189803)
+
+Updated and fixed translations.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details.
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Ext2fs_set_bit(), ext2fs_clear_bit(), and ext2fs_test_bit( have been
+changed to take an unsigned int for the bit number. Negative bit
+numbers were never allowed (and didn't make any sense), so this should
+be a safe change. This is needed to allow safe use of block numbers
+greater than or equal to 2**31.
+
+The compile_et program will avoid recreating generated foo_err.c and
+foo_err.h files if no changes are necessary. The compile_et program
+will also atomically replace these files to avoid a potential parallel
+build race problem on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#1157933)
+
+Added a new function to the blkid library, blkid_probe_all_new(),
+which only probes newly added disk devices, and change
+blkid_find_dev_with_tag() to use this function so that when a
+requested tag is not found, devices that were previously not checked
+are searched before searching all devices in the system.
+
+Added new functions to the blkid library, blkid_dev_set_search() and
+blkid_dev_has_tag().
+
+E2fsck's problem strings can now use @m and @n as abbrevations for
+"multiply-claimed" and "invalid", respectively.
+
+The e2fsprog.pot file now has an explanation of how the @-expansion
+and %-expansion works, and strings in e2fsck/problem.c which contain @
+characters now have comments in e2fsprogs.pot with the @-expansion to
+make life easier for translators.
+
+Fixed missing return values in the ext2fs library which could cause it
+to return random garbage in certain error conditions.
+
+Allow the current time to be overriden via the E2FSCK_TIME environment
+variable for use in regression tests.
+
+The test scrpit driver program now exits with a non-zero status if
+there any of its test that it ran failed.
+
+Fixed problems with parabuilds on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge
+Bug: #1157933)
+
+Fixed "make check" so that it compiles correctly even when e2fsprogs'
+header files have not be installed in the system include directories.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1180572)
+
+Fixed gcc -Wall nits.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.37 (March 21, 2005)
+===============================
+
+Add support for checking the validity of Extended Attributes stored in
+inodes to e2fsck.
+
+Add support for dumping the contents of large inodes to debugfs,
+including the extended attributes stored in inodes.
+
+Fix mke2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and the ext2fs_mkdir function so that
+when we create a new inode we make sure that the extra information in
+the inode (any extra fields in a large inode and any ea-in-inode
+information) is initialized correctly. This can take place when
+mke2fs creates the root and lost+found directory, when e2fsck creates
+a new root inode or a new lost+found directory, and when the user uses
+the debugfs write, mknod, or mkdir commands. Otherwise, the newly
+create inode could inherit garbage (or old EA information) from a
+previously deleted inode.
+
+Fixed a bug in e2fsck so it would notice if a file with an extended
+attribute block was exactly 2**32 blocks, such that i_blocks wrapped
+to zero.
+
+Added support to filefrag to detect files which are using the new
+experimental file extents format, and use the non-ext2 algorithm in
+that case. Fixed a bug to avoid reporting a false discontinuity if
+there is one or more unallocated blocks at the beginning of a file.
+
+Duplicated a check for noticing whether or not the number of blocks
+(given a certain blocksize) is greater than 2**32 when the
+BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl is not available to ext2fs_get_device_size(). This
+allows mke2fs to automatically use a larger blocksize when creating a
+filesystem on a very large device when run on systems that do not
+support BLKGETSIZE64.
+
+Fix the I18N build which was broken in e2fsprogs 1.36 because the
+build system had been switched to treat the .gmo files as shipped
+files (for backwards compatibility with systems that have older GNU
+I18N tools installed), but the gen_tarball.in script was still
+removing the .gmo files from the official source distribution.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs ##296769, #299341)
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Added new functions to the e2p library which convert between a string
+and os_type: e2p_os2string() and e2p_string2os(), and used them to
+make the generated binaries more compact.
+
+Fixed a compile-time error on Darwin systems.
+
+Cleaned up the lib/ext2fs Makefile slightly.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.36 (February 4, 2005)
+=================================
+
+All of the patches that were applied to Fedore Core 3's
+e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 have been integrated, although sometimes with a
+lot of bug fixes first. Users of Fedora Core 3 are strongly
+encouraged to upgrade to e2fsprogs 1.36 as soon as possible.
+
+Add support for filesystem with the online resizing via resize inode
+feature. Fixed numerous bugs from the Fedora patches. The Fedora
+patches also didn't bother to do any consistency checking on the
+resize inode, or add any tests to the regression test suite. The "-R
+resize=4g" option to mke2fs was a no-op in the Fedora patches, despite
+being listed in mke2fs's usage message. All of these shortcomings
+have been corrected.
+
+E2fsck can also also fix filesystems trashed by Fedora's resize2fs
+program. In order to do this, the user must run the commands:
+
+ debugfs -w /dev/hdXXX -R "features ^resize_inode"
+ e2fsck -f /dev/hdXXX
+
+Optionally, the ext2prepare command can be used to re-enable online
+resizing after the filesystem has been fixed.
+
+The fsck program will now accept an optional filedescriptor argument
+to the -C option. (The Fedora version of this patch would sometimes
+cause fsck to ignore a parameter on fsck's command line in some rare
+cases, sigh.)
+
+Make sure e2fsprogs doesn't write garbage into the reserved portion of
+large inodes.
+
+Make sure resize2fs releases the blocks belonging to the old inode
+table blocks when moving the inode table. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#290894)
+
+Skip the r_resize_inode test if resize2fs is not compiled (due to
+configure --disable-resizer)
+
+E2fsck now checks the summary filesystem accounting information, and
+if any of the information is obviously wrong, it will force a full
+filesystem check. (Addresses Debian Bug #291571)
+
+Fix e2fsck to not complain when the resize_inode feature is enabled,
+s_reserved_gdt_blocks is zero, and there is no DIND block allocated in
+the resize inode.
+
+Fix e2fsck to note delete symlinks that contain an extended attribute
+after the ext_attr feature flag has been cleared. (Addresses Red Hat
+Bugzilla #146284).
+
+Add new utility program, copy_sparse.c, which is very useful
+for dealing with large sparse files (such as e2image files).
+
+Add support for jnl_blocks[] for debugfs's set_super_value.
+
+Fix filefrag so that it works correctly with sparse files.
+
+Filefrag -v will print first and last blocks.
+
+Add interpretation of OS Creator values for FreeBSD and Lites in mke2fs
+and dumpe2fs.
+
+Add mke2fs support so that it can support filesystems larger than 4TB
+automatically, by retrying with a 4k blocksize if the device size is
+too big to be expressed using a 1k blocksize. (Addresses Sourceforge
+bug #1106631)
+
+Change blkid to test for NTFS first because Windows sometimes doesn't
+clear enough of the parition to confuse the probing routines into
+thinking the old filesystem type is still valid. (Addresses Debian
+Bug #291990)
+
+Add support for swap partition label and uuid's in the blkid library.
+
+Add support to the blkid library to recognize Oracle ASM volumes.
+
+Make blkid -t display all devices that match the specified criteria,
+not just the first one, and work more consistently when the blkid
+cache file is not available or set to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian
+Bug #290530 and #292425)
+
+Badblocks will now correctly display block numbers greater than
+999,999,999 in its progress display.
+
+The tune2fs program will not allow the user from setting a ridiculous
+number of reserved blocks which would cause e2fsck to assume the
+superblock was corrupt. E2fsck's standards for what is a ridiculous
+number of reserved block has also been relaxed to 50% of the blocks in
+the filesystem.
+
+The blkid library will return vfat in preference to msdos, and ext3 in
+preference to ext2 (if the journalling flag is set) so that mount will
+do the right thing. (Addresses Debian bug #287455)
+
+Mke2fs will now use the -E option for extended options; the old -R
+(raid options) option is still accepted for backwards compatibility.
+Fix a double-free problem in resize2fs. (Red Hat Bugzilla #132707)
+
+Mke2fs will now accept a size in megabytes, gigabytes, and other units
+(via "32m" or "4g" on the command line) if the user finds this more
+convenient than specifying a block count.
+
+Fix an obscure, hard-to find bug in "e2fsck -S" caused by an inode
+cache conherency problem.
+
+Debugfs now supports a new command, set_inode_field, which allows a
+user to manually set a specific inode field more conveniently, as well
+as set entries in the indirect block map.
+
+Debugfs's set_super_value command has been enhanced so that the user
+can set most superblock fields, including the date/time fields and
+some of the more newsly added superblock fields.
+
+E2fsprogs programs now accept an offset to be passed to the file
+specifiers, via the syntax: "/tmp/test.img?offset=1024".
+
+E2fsprogs programs will now accept blocksizes up to 65536; kernel
+support on the x86 doesn't exist for now, but it can be useful on
+other architectures with page sizes greater than 4k. There are 2.6
+kernel patches out there which enable this, but they are of this
+writing still experimental.
+
+The e2image command now takes the -s option which will scramble
+directory entries for raw image files.
+
+Fix a file descriptor leak in the filefrag program.
+
+Make sure e2fsck doesn't crash when /proc/acpi/ac_adapter is not
+present.
+
+Fix bug in debugfs where kill_file would lead to errors when deleting
+devices and symlinks. (Sourceforge Bugs #954741 and #957244)
+
+Fix bug in the blkid library when detecting the ocfs1 filesystem
+
+Remove obsolete EVMS 1.x and a.out DLL support.
+
+E2fsck will attempt to recover from a journal containing illegal blocks.
+
+Fixed two potential ordering constraint problems in e2fsck which might
+cause the filesystem to be corrupted if e2fsck is interrupted during a
+(extremely narrow) race window. Thanks to Junfeng Yang from the
+Stanford Metacompilation group for pointing this out.
+
+Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would not accurately detect whether or
+not the system is running on adaptor if the ACPI device representing
+the AC adapter didn't correspond to the what was used on IBM
+Thinkpads.
+
+Change e2fsck to accept directories greater than 32MB.
+
+Fix e2fsck so that a checkinterval of zero disables a time-based check
+of the filesystem.
+
+Debugfs will check the DEBUGFS_PAGER enviroment variable in preference
+to the PAGER environment variable. (Addresses Debian Bug #239547)
+
+Tune2fs will not mark rewrite the superblock if the feature bitmasks
+are not modified.
+
+The debugfs program will set the filetype information when creating a
+link.
+
+Add debugfs -d option to use a separate source of data blocks when
+reading from an e2image file.
+
+Add e2image -I option which allows the e2image metadata to be
+installed into a filesystem.
+
+Fixed bug in the badblocks program which caused "done" to always
+appear in english even when a translation was available. (Addresses
+Debian Bug #252836)
+
+The blkid program has a new option -o which controls the output format
+of the blkid program; this is makes blkid more convenient to use in
+shell scripts.
+
+Fix a minor bug in uuid library, which was not using the full 14 bits
+of clock sequence when generating UUID's.
+
+Fix a Y8.8888K problem in the uuid library.
+
+Logsave now creates a new session id for itself to avoid getting
+killed by init whan transitioning between init levels.
+
+Change the licensing of the UUID library to be the 3-clause BSD-style
+license; this allows Apple to use the uuid library in Darwin.
+
+Add ocfs and ocfs2 probe support into the blkid library.
+
+Fix a memory and file descriptor leak in the blkid library.
+
+The blkid library will revalidate the device if the system time is
+earlier than last verification time of the device, since that
+indicates that the system time is probably nottrustworthy.
+
+The blkid library will override the default location of the blkid.tab
+file by the BLKID_FILE environment variable, if it is available.
+
+Change the getsize functions to use the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl on Linux 2.6.
+
+Add various portability fixes for lame new versions of glibc, Darwin
+and GNU/KFreeBSD, as well as removing XSI:ism's. (Addresses Debian
+Bugs #239934, #264630, #269044, #255589, #289133)
+
+Add support for Windows 9x/NT under Cygwin.
+
+Updated and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs #236383,
+ #241940, #238741, #242995, #256669, #268148, #256760, #273679)
+
+Updated and fixed translations. (Addresses Debian bugs #244105, #262836)
+
+Update the rpm spec files so that it works better with Fedora core 2
+and RH9.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). In
+particular, fixed the Debian initrd scripts. (#241183, #248050,
+#253595, #247775)
+
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fixed various gcc -Wall warnings.
+
+The uuid library now has new functions uuid_unparse_upper() and
+uuid_unparse_lower() which forces the case of the hex digits to be
+upper case, or lower case.
+
+The build process has been speeded up by enhancing the subst program
+to update the modtime on the generated files even when the generated
+file hasn't changed.
+
+The uuid library now uses C99 stdint.h types instead of custom types.
+
+Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF.
+
+Removed out of date .cvsignore files from the source distribution.
+
+The ext2fs_unlink() function will return an error if both the name and
+inode number are unspecified, to avoid doing something surprising
+(such as unconditionally deleting the first directory entry).
+Directory entries are now deleted by coalescing them with the previous
+directory entry if possible, to avoid directory fragmentation. This
+is not an issue with the e2fsprogs suite, but may be a problem for
+some of the users of libext2fs, such as e2tools.
+
+Add support for version numbers of the form "1.36-rc1".
+
+Fix build of mke2fs.static.
+
+Add basic ext2fs library support for large (EA in inode) inodes.
+
+The test_io mechanism can now abort after n reads or writes to a
+particular block. The block is specified by TEST_IO_BLOCK environment
+variable, and the read/write count by the TEST_IO_READ_ABORT and
+TEST_IO_WRITE_ABORT environment variables. The block data is now only
+dumped if the 0x10 bit is set in TEST_IO_FLAGS.
+
+UUID_DEFINE() in the uuid library now creates a static variable, with
+__attribute__ ((unused)) if we are using GCC, so that UUID_DEFINE can
+be used in header files.
+
+Add support for the install-strip and install-shlibs-strip targets, as
+suggested by the GNU coding guielines. "make install" no longer
+strips the binaries which are installed.
+
+Remove support for the --enable-old-bitops configure option which was
+only for very old sparc systems.
+
+Remove support for --enable-clear-htree; this was only needed during
+the early development of the htree patch.
+
+Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output so it is easier to see compiler
+warnings.
+
+Update gettext files to version 0.14.1.
+
+Update to use autoconf 2.5x.
+
+Improved support for compiling e2fsprogs under dietlibc.
+
+Make e2fsprogs portable to Solaris and FreeBSD systems.
+
+Add blkid_verify(), blkid_get_library_version(), and
+blkid_parse_version_string() functions to the blkid library.
+
+Add pkg-config files for e2fsprogs's libraries.
+
+Fix "make uninstall" to so that it removes everything that is installed.
+
+Add a configure --enable-maintainer-mode option which enables the
+makefile rules to rebuild the configure script from configure.in, and
+to reubuild the .gmo files in po directory.
+
+Drop the sparc assembly bitwise operations; it's less efficient
+than the GCC 3.4 compile code and triggers compiler warnings on
+sparc64. Thanks to Matthias Andree for his analysis and suggestions.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #232326)
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.35 (February 28, 2004)
+==================================
+
+E2fsck has a new -k option, which in conjunction with the -c options,
+preserves the existing badblocks list.
+
+Cleaned up e2fsck's preen-mode messages during the passes 1b, 1c, and 1d.
+
+E2fsprogs will now deal correctly with symlinks that contain
+extended attribute information, which can be created using SE Linux.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #232328)
+
+Remove a double longjump into an invalid stack frame bug in e2fsck.
+(This was during an abort sequence, which normally worked on Linux and
+caused a core dump on other operating systems.)
+
+Fix NLS bug in e2fsck, by avoiding trying to expand an empty string
+(the NLS library will replace "" with the .po header information).
+
+Fix a bug in mke2fs which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4 to core
+dump due to a division by zero error. (Addresses Debian bug #207082)
+
+Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly fix a filesystem
+when reconnecting a directory requires creating a lost+found
+directory. (Addresses Debian bug #219640).
+
+Fixed a bug where e2fsck would bomb out if a journal needed to be
+replayed when using an alternate superblock.
+
+E2fsck will give an extra grace period before actually forcing a check
+if the laptop is running on battery. The next time fsck runs while
+the system is on the AC mains, or after the grace period is exceeded,
+the filesystem will be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #205177)
+
+E2fsck will inform the user when there are 5 or fewer mounts before a
+filesystem check will be forced. (Addresses Debian bug #157194)
+
+Fix e2fsck's handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the bad block.
+We now correctly handle the case where there is an overlap between a
+block group descriptor or a superblock and a bad block indirect block.
+In the case where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest
+"e2fsck -c".
