+E2fsprogs 1.41.12 (May 17, 2010) (Up to commit 517be2d)
+=======================================================
+
+Mke2fs now gives a correct error message if the external journal
+device is not found. (Addresses Red Hat Bug #572935)
+
+Resize2fs -P will now refuse to print a minimum size if the file
+system is not clean. Previously it would go ahead and print a minimum
+size anyway, which might not be correct, leading to user confusion.
+
+E2fsck now tests for extents that begin at physical block 0 and
+rejects them as invalid. (Addresses Google Bug: #2573806)
+
+Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to
+remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded.
+(Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2971800)
+
+E2fsck now will completely skip time-based checks if the system clock
+looks insane or the option broken_system_clock is set in
+/etc/e2fsck.conf.
+
+E2fsck would previously report an i_blocks corruption for a 4T file
+created using posix_fallocate; this bug has been fixed.
+
+E2fsck will now correctly mark a sparse journal as invalid and will
+delete and recreate the journal to address the problem.
+
+E2fsck would previously incorrectly ask the user whether she would
+like to abort the file system check after finding a problem --- and
+then abort regardless of the user's answer. This is annoying, and
+has been fixed.
+
+E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize
+inode; previously it would just abort the file system check
+altogether.
+
+E2fsck could potentially remove directory entries for inodes found in
+the unused region of the inode table; this would generally happen on
+ext4 file systems that do not use journaling. This bug has been fixed
+by not clearing these directory entries once it has been established
+that bg_unused_inodes may not be trustworthy; once pass #2 has been
+completed, e2fsck will restart the file system check from the
+beginning, and then it will be safe to delete any directory entries
+pointing to inodes that appear to be deleted. (Addresses Google Bug:
+#2642165)
+
+E2fsck will not try to set the block group checksums if the user
+cancels the fsck with a control-C. It's a bad idea to set the
+checksums if e2fsck hasn't been completed, and it often results an the
+error message, "Inode bitmap not loaded while setting block group
+checksum info". (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #582035)
+
+The mke2fs program now queries the kernel for the physical as well as
+the logical sector size, and will not allow a blocksize below the
+logical, and will strongly encourage a blocksize at least as big as
+the physical blocksize. This is needed for 4k sector drives that
+emulate 512 byte sector sizes.
+
+Mke2fs will now allow a flex_bg size of 1. This is unusual, and
+rarely needed, but it is a legal value.
+
+E2fsck will check for cases where the EOFBLOCKS_FL is set when it is
+not needed, and offer to clear it; this is a sign of a kernel bug, but
+more importantly, some released kernels may crash when this situation
+is encountered on ext4 file systems. (Addresses Google Bug: #2604224)
+
+E2fsck will use the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag exclusively to check whether
+i_size is correct. (Kernels starting with 2.6.34 will set
+EOFBLOCKS_FL.)
+
+The com_err library will now only output ^M (a CR character) when the
+tty is in raw mode.
+
+Update the Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, Polish,
+and Vietnamese translations.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #571247, #563487)
+
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+The regression test suite now uses its own mke2fs.conf file, so that
+downstream distributions want change the mke2fs.conf file which is
+distributed in the RPM or dpkg file, without worrying about screwing
+up the regression test results.
+
+Always build namei.o so that building with configure --disable-debugfs
+works correctly. Long-term, if we care about reduced e2fsprogs
+builds, we need a more general solution for deciding what .o files are
+needed for a particular build. Given that install floppies are going
+(gone?) the way the dodo bird, we probably don't care, though.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2911433)
+
+Add configure options --enable-symlink-build and
+--enable-symlink-install, which allow e2fsprogs be built using
+symlinks instad of hard links, and to be installed using symlinks
+instead of hard links, respectively. It is useful when the file
+system where the build is taking place, or the file system where
+e2fsprogs is installed, can't handle hard links for some reason.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1436294)
+
+Fixed compile warning in mke2fs.c.
+
+
E2fsprogs 1.41.11 (March 14, 2010)
==================================
Add new test, f_rehash_dir, which checks to make sure e2fsck -D works
correctly.
-
+
The libcom_err function now has support for Heimdal's com_right_r
function(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2963865, Addresses Debian
Bug: #558910)
