-E2fsprogs 1.39-WIP (May 14, 2006)
-===================================
+E2fsprogs 1.40-WIP (November 14, 2006)
+======================================
+
+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.
+
+Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #369761, #373004)
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs #389554, #390664)
+
+
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+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
+
+
+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.
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
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.
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages and
documentation. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #329859, #322188, #316811,
-#312515, #351268, #357951, #347295, #316040)

+#368179)
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for

+#362544, #362970)
Programmer's notes:
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.
