system management programs.
From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix
+E2fsprogs 1.43.8 (January 1, 2018)
+==================================
+
+Fix a bug where updated bitmap checks might not be written to disk.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #883869)
+
+Some newly added fields in the superblocks were not getting byte
+swapped (which were not noticed since big endian systems are amazingly
+unpopular). Fix them and compile-time checks to avoid this class of
+bugs from happening in the future. (Lustre Bug #9309)
+
+Fix a potential use after free bug in e2fsck when fixing a corrupted
+root node in directory hash tree.
+
+Fix a bug in e2fsck where a badly/maliciously corrupted superblock
+(which is not fixed due to the -n option, for example) can cause a
+floating point exception when printing the summary statistics.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #879220)
+
+Fix debugfs's ncheck command so that it correctly prints the inode
+number when printing an error message.
+
+Fix a bug in e2freefrag where it could print an incorrect free blocks
+count on a file system with the 64-bit block number feature.
+
+Update the German, Serbian, Spanish, and Ukrainian translations.
+
+Fix a bug where resize2fs's free blocks sanity check could fail with a
+false positive and refuse to check a file system with the 64-bit block
+number feature.
+
+Fix and clarify various man pages and documentations. Also fixed up
+some random usage texts that were incorrect. (Addresses Debian Bugs:
+#880483)
+
+Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #880207,
+#881408, #881590, #881591)
+
+Programming notes

+
+Fix various compiler warnings.
+
+Clean up Makefile output.
