+E2fsprogs 1.42.8 (June 20, 2013)
+================================
+
+As a part of mke2fs's option parsing cleanup, the use of the -R option
+will give a warning that it is depreated (it has been so documented
+since 2005) and -E should be used instead.
+
+Mke2fs will not give warnings about the bigalloc and quota options in
+quiet mode.
+
+If an invalid journal size is given to mke2fs, it will now complain
+and exit sooner.
+
+Debugfs was erroneously giving spurious error messages for certain
+extent_inode subcommands which take arguments (split_node,
+replace_node, and insert_node). This has been fixed.
+
+Fix the parsing of the 's' (sectors) in parse_num_blocks2, which among
+other programs is used by mke2fs.
+
+Change mke2fs so that it does not set the root directory to the real
+uid/gid of the mke2fs process. Add the extended option root_owner to
+override this behavior.
+
+Fix resize2fs when shrinking file systems to make sure that bitmap
+blocks aren't left outside the bounds of the shrunken file system.
+This could happen with flex_bg file systems that were grown using
+the old online resizing algorithm.
+
+E2fsck will now detect and repair corrupted extent trees which contain
+invalid extents at the end of the extent tree leaf block.
+
+E2fsck will now longer complain about zero length extended attribute
+values.
+
+Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs v1.42 which caused e2image -s
+to crash.
+
+Add safety check so tune2fs will not attempt to set the inode size to
+be larger than the block size.
+
+Fix e2fsck so it can check a read-only root file system with an
+external journal. (Addresses Debian Bug: #707030
+
+Fix off-line resizing of file systems with flex_bg && !resize_inode
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #696746)
+
+Fix e2image with large (> 32-bit) file systems (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#703067)
+
+Enhance chattr to allow clearing the extent flag if the kernel allows
+migrating extent based files to use indirect blocks.
+
+Update German translation.
+
+Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #712429,
+#712430, #707609)
+
+Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #708307)
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Use secure_getenv() in preference to __secure_getenv().
+
+Optimize CPU utilization of ext2fs_bg_has_super().
+
+Fix ext2fs_llseek() on 32-bit i386 systems to work correctly when
+SEEK_CUR is used with large files.
+
+The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function will no longer use
+fs->read_inode() if the caller has requested more than the base 128
+byte inode structure and the inode size is greater than 128 bytes.
+
+Fix build failure with --enable-jbd-debug.
+
+Clean up filtering of outputs for the regression tests by using a
+common sed script.
+
+Fix gcc -Wall and clang nits.
+
+
+E2fsprogs 1.42.7 (January 21, 2013)
+===================================
+
+Add warnings to mke2fs, resize2fs, and tune2fs that the bigalloc and
+quota features are still under development. For more information
+please see:
+ * https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Bigalloc
+ * https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Quota
+
+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 resize2fs bug which could cause it to corrupt bigalloc file
+systems when doing an off-line resize.
+
+Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
+resizing very large file systems.
+
+Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
+possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.
+
+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 better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid parameters
+when creating bigalloc file system.
+
+When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now
+specify the number of clusters per block group.
+
+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.
+
+Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group
+statistics.
+
+Fix e2fsck so it can detect and fix inconsistencies in the interior
+nodes of an inode's extent tree.
+
+Fix a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if
+the call to ext2fs_open2() fails.
+
+Fix e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and the
+resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes, that it
+properly handles this situation instead of crashing.
+
+E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to
+allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to
+track down the problem.
+
+Fix mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option. (Addresses
+Lustre Bug: LU-1888)
+
+E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output file
+when the user specifies the -a option.
+
+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)
+
+Update the spd_readdir.c file in the contrib directory to include some
+additions which were made in 2008 that didn't get folded into the
+version which we checked into the e2fsprogs source tree. These
+enhancements include thread safety, support for readdir64_r(), and
+safe_getenv() support in case spd_readdir.so is used for setuid binaries.
+
+Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
+translations
+
+Add a command to debugfs to create symlinks.
+
+Document the bigalloc feature in the mke2fs man page. (Addresses
+Debian Bug: #669730)
+
+
+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 correctly fix an
+inconsistent interior node in an inode's extent tree.
+
+The ext2fs_{mark,unmark,test}_block_bitmap_range2() functions now
+correctly support bigalloc file systems which use store block usage
+information in units of clusters.
+
+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.
+
+Update config.guess and config.sub to the latest versions from the GNU
+project.
+
+Fixed the com_err.texinfo file so that it can produce a valid
+postscript/pdf printed output.
+
+Add a regression test which checks debugfs's ability to create
+symlinks, named FIFO's, and device nodes.
+
+Add a function ext2fs_symlink(), which creates symlinks to the
+libext2fs library.
+
+Add debugging code so we can test old kernel interfaces for online
+resize to resize2fs. This backwards compatibility checking is keyed
+off of the RESIZE2FS_KERNEL_VERSION, which is designed to allow us to
+test the functionality of the kernel's older resize ioctls without
+needing to install an old version of resize2fs, and to also test a
+modern resize2fs's ability to work with older kernels without having
+to install an older version of the kernel.
