+<H3>Fixes</H3>
+
+<P>Fixed various problems with how e2scrub_all is run from cron, when not
+all of the required packages are installed, or there are no LVM devices
+on the system. (Addresses Debian Bug: #929186, #929287, #928977)</P>
+
+<P>When mke2fs asks the user if she should proceed, fall back to the
+English 'y' or 'Y' characters since there could be a missing translation
+prompting the use of the English 'y' character. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#907034)</P>
+
+<P>Fix spurious complaint of blocks beyond i_size for verity files.</P>
+
+
+<H3>Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.</H3>
+
+<P>Fixed various debian packaging issues.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed "make install" failure when the cron.d directory does not exist.</P>
+
+<P>Update the Czech, Malay, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, and Ukarainian
+translations. Add the new Portuguese translation.</P>
+
+
+<H2><A NAME="1.45.1">E2fsprogs 1.45.1 (May 12, 2019)</A></H2>
+
+<H3>UI and Features</H3>
+
+<P>Teach the e2scrub and e2scub_all commands the -n option, which prints
+what these commands would do.</P>
+
+<P>Finalize the casefold support so it is synchronized with what we
+actually shipped in the kernel. This includes updating to Unicode 12.1,
+dropping ASCII casefolding support, and switching from NFKD to NFD. The
+the ext4 feature name also changed from fname_encoding to casefold.
+Add support for casefold to dumpe2fs and debugfs.</P>
+
+<P>Debugfs now prints non-printable characters using C-style hex escape
+sequences (e.g., "\xc1" instead of M-A). The old scheme printed
+filenames in an ambiguous way, which complicated using debugfs for ext4
+encryption regression tests.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck now checks to make sure that all unused bits in the block
+allocation bitmaps are set; if there are some unset bits in the block
+bitmaps for file systems where the blocks_per_group is less than
+8*blocksize (not the default), this can confuse the kernel's multi-block
+allocator and return a bogus free extent. E2fsprogs guarantees this
+when it writes out the bitmap blocks, but it's possible that file system
+blocks could have gotten corrupted since the last time e2fsprogs wrote
+out the bitmap blocks.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck now has support write out a problem code log which can provide
+more debugging and monitoring information. This can be configured using
+/etc/e2fsck.conf.</P>
+
+
+<H3>Fixes</H3>
+
+<P>Teach e2scrub and e2scrub to give more intelligible error messages when
+the lvm2 and util-linux packages are not installed, or if the commands
+are not run as root.</P>
+
+<P>Teach e2scrub_all to skip trying to run e2scrub on a logical volume if
+its volume group did not have enough space to create a snapshot.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #924301)</P>
+
+<P>E2scrub will tag its snapshots with UDISK_IGNORE so they do not show up
+in GUI's. (Addresses Debian Bug: #926112)</P>
+
+<P>Mark the e2scrub service files to indicate that CAP_SYS_ADMIN and
+CAP_SYS_RAWIO are required. This avoids errors when e2scrub is run an
+container where root does not have these capabilities. (Addresses
+Debian Bug: #926138)</P>
+
+<P>Fix mke2fs's check for absurdly large disks. Previously check was 2^10
+too small, so mke2fs would fail when trying to format a 900TB file
+system.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed debugfs so it correctly prints ea_in_inode xattr values.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed various casefold bugs.</P>
+
+
+<H3>Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.</H3>
+
+<P>Synchronized changes from Android's AOSP e2fsprogs tree.</P>
+
+<P>Fix autoheader warnings caused by a missing template in AC_CHECK_LIB.</P>
+
+<P>Fix the the "make install-strip" command.</P>
+
+<P>Dropped utf8_* and nls_* symbols from the libext2fs shared library, to
+avoid namespace contamination.</P>
+
+<P>Fix the f_valid_ea_in_inode test so actually tests the ea_in_inode
+feature.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed various debian packaging issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #924275)</P>

+
+<H3>UI and Features</H3>
+
+<P>Tune2fs can now set the file system error bit to force a check at the
+next fsck by using the extended option "force_fsck".</P>
+
+<P>E2fsprogs now has an e2scrub script which will allow e2fsck to be run on
+volumes that are mounted on an LVM device. The e2scrub_all will find
+all ext* file systems and run them using e2scrub (if possible).</P>
+
+<P>Mke2fs will attempt to use ZERO_RANGE before PUNCH_HOLE so that we don't
+lose allocated blocks in preallocated files.</P>
+
+<P>The fuse2fs command now supports a "fakeroot" option to allow an
+unprivileged user to fuse2fs to modify rootfs images.</P>
+
+<P>Add initial support for setting the character set encoding and case
+folding file system feature. We don't have support to validate file
+names as being valid for a given character set encoding yet, but this
+will allow compatibility for this feature when the kernel support
+lands. This includes support in lsattr and chattr to understanding the
+casefold attribute flag.</P>
+
+<P>Debugfs can now set the inode's checksum field to test support for
+inodes with bad inode checksums.</P>
+
+<P>E2image now accepts the -b and -B options to allow the user to specify
+the superblock location when creating a raw or qcow2 image.</P>
+
+<H3>Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.</H3>
+
+<P>Add support for building e2fsprogs using Link Time Optimization (LTO),
+UBSAN, Address Sanitizer, or Thread Sanitizer.</P>
