+
+<P>The mke2fs and e2fsck now use significantly less memory when creating
+or checking very large file systems.  This was enabled by adding
+extent-based bitmaps which are stored using a red-block tree, since
+block and inode allocations tend to be contiguous.</P>
+
+<P>The command mke2fs -S is used as a last ditch recovery command to
+write new superblock and block group descriptors, but _not_ to destroy
+the inode table in hopes of recovering from a badly corrupted file
+system.  So if the uninit_bg feature is enabled, mke2fs -S will now
+set the unused inodes count field to zero.  Otherwise, e2fsck -fy
+after using mke2fs -S would leave the file system completely empty.</P>
+
+<P>Since mke2fs recognizes mke3fs in argv[0] to mean "mkfs.ext3", also
+honor "mke4fs" to work the same as "mke2fs.ext4", since RHEL5 has
+installed an mke2fs binary using that name.</P>
+
+<P>The usage and help messages for the -G, -t and -T options in mke2fs
+have been fixed.</P>
+
+<P>If e2fsck needs to use the backup group descriptors, the
+ext2fs_open2() function clears the UNINIT bits to ensure all of the
+inodes in the file systems get scanned.  However, the code which reset
+the UNINIT flags did not also recalculate the checksum, which produced
+many spurious (and scary) e2fsck messages.  This has been fixed by
+resetting cheksums when the UNINIT bits are cleared.</P>
+
+<P>Relax a check in e2fsck which required that the block bitmap to be
+initialized when the inode bitmap is in use.  This will allow us to
+eventually eliminate code from the kernel which forcibly initialized
+the block bitmap when the inode bitmap is first used, requiring an
+extra journal credit and disk write.  (Addresses Google Bug: #5944440)</P>
+    
+<P>Make sure rdebugfs (which may be installed setuid or setgid disk) does
+not honor environment variables if euid != uid or egid != gid.</P>
+
+<P>Debugfs's ncheck command has been optimized and now is much more
+robust with faced with corrupted file systems.  The ncheck command
+also now has a -c option which will verify the file type information
+in the directory entry to see if matches the inode's mode bits.  This
+is extremely useful when trying to use debugsfs to determine which
+parts of the file system metadata can be trusted.</P>
+
+<P>E2image will try to use ftruncate64() to set the i_size for raw
+images, instead of writing a single null byte.  This avoid allocating
+an extra block to the raw image, for those file systems and/or
+operating systems that support this.  (Linux does.)  In addition, fix
+a logic bug that caused the file to not be properly extended if the
+size of the last hole was exactly an multiple of a megabyte.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a bug in resize2fs where for 1k and 2k file systems, where
+s_first_data_block is non-zero, this wasn't taken into account when
+calculate the minimum file system size for use with the -M option.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed the badblocks program to honor the -s flag when in read-only -t
+mode.  (Addresses Debian Bug #646629)</P>
+
+<P>Update Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, and Sweedish translation from the
+Translation Project.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed various Debian Packaging issues so that dpkg-buildflags is used
+if present, which allows e2fsprogs to be built with security hardening
+flags.  (Addresses Debian Bugs: #654457)</P>
+
+<h3>Programmer's Notes</h3>
+
+<P>Fix a bug in ext2fs_clear_generic_bmap() when used for 32-bit bitmaps.
+This was only an issue for programs compiled against e2fsprogs 1.41
+that manipulate bitmaps directly.  (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs:
+#3451486)</P>
+
+<P>The libext2fs library now uses sysconf() to fetch the page size, instead
+of the deprecated getpagesize().</P>
+
+<P>The ext2fs_get_pathname() function will return a partial path if an a
+directory in the path is not a directory, displaying it as an inode
+number in angle brackets instead of giving up and displaying an error.
+This is much more helpful when a user is trying to debug a corrupted
+file system.</P>
+
+<P>Codepoints for the RO_COMPAT_REPLICA feature has been reserved.</P>
+
+<P>Added a new library function, ext2fs_file_get_inode_num(), for use by
+fuse2fs.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed a bug in ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that when it is truncating a
+file, it actually works.</P>
+
+<P>The block iterator now properly honors the BLOCK_ABORT flag for
+extent-based flags.  Previously, it didn't, which generally made code
+be less efficient, but it could cause bugs in ext2fs_link(), for
+example, by causing it to insert multiple directory entries.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed an (harmless other than causing a compiler warning) use of an
+uninitialized variable in e2fsck's MMP code.</P>
