+
+<P>Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write
+uninitalized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128
+bytes when operating on inodes mapped via extents; potentially
+corrupting filesystems.</P>
+
+<P>Fix memory leaks in e2fsprogs, including a very large memory leak
+which can cause e2fsck to run out of memory when checking very large
+filesystems using extents.</P>
+
+<P>The logsave program will now filter out the ^A and ^B characters when
+writing to the console.</P>
+
+<P>Harden ext2fs_validate_entry() so that lsdel will not read beyond the
+end of the block even if the directory block is corrupted.</P>
+
+<P>Fix debugfs from core dumping if the logdump command fails to open the
+output file.</P>
+
+<P>Enhance badblocks to print the currently tested block number when
+interrupted with ^C.</P>
+
+<P>Fix lsattr to exit with a non-zero status when it encounters errors.
+(Addresses RedHat Bugzilla #489841)</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2fsprogs to use the same encoding for rec_len in 64k (and larger)
+filesystems as the kernel when encoding rec_len >= 64k. For 64k
+filesystems (currently all that is supported by e2fsprogs, this is
+only a minor corner case).</P>
+
+<P>Resize2fs will now update the journal backup fileds in the sup0erblock
+if the journal is moved; this avoids an unnecessary full fsck after
+resizing the filesystem. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #505339)</P>
+
+<P>Fix libext2fs to properly initialize i_extra_size when creating the
+journal and resize inodes.</P>
+
+<P>Change badblocks to allow block sizes larger than 4k.</P>
+
+<P>Fix filefrag progam so it correctly checks for errors from the fiemap ioctl.</P>
+
+<P>Update Chinese and Czech translation from the Translation Project.</P>
+
+<P>Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #531385 and #523063)</P>
+
+<H3>Programmer's Notes</H3>
+
+<P>Add --disable-libuuid option to configure which uses an in-system
+installed version of libuuid; the private version is enabled by
+default.</P>
+
+<P>Add --valgrind-leakcheck option to the test_script program which runs
+valgrind with the appropriate options to find memory leaks.</P>
