+
+<P>Fix resize2fs bug which causes it to access invalid memory.</P>
+
+<P>Add libss support for libreadline.so.6.</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2fsck's check for extent-mapped directory with an incorrect file
+type.</P>
+
+<P>Add new e2fsck.conf configuration option, default/broken_system_clock
+to support systems with broken CMOS hardware clocks. Also, since too
+many distributions seem to have broken virtualization scripts now,
+e2fsck will by default accept dates which are off by up to 24 hours by
+default. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #559776, #557636)</P>
+
+<P>Fix a bug where mke2fs may not use the best placement of the inode
+table when there is only room for a single block group in the last
+flex_bg.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck is now smarter when it needs to allocate blocks in the course
+of fixing file system problems. This reduces the number of spurious
+differences found in pass #5.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck will no longer rehash directories which fit in a single
+directory block.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck now correctly handles holes in extent-mapped directories (i.e.,
+sparse directories which use extents).</P>
+
+<P>Fix big-endian problems with ext2fs_bmap() and ext2fs_bmap2().</P>
+
+<P>Fix a bug in filefrag where on platforms which can allow file systems
+with 8k blocks, that it doesn't core dump when it sees a file system
+with 8k block sizes. (Thanks to Mikulas Patocka for pointing this
+out.)</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck will correctly fix directories that are have an inaccurate
+i_size as well as other problems in a single pass, instead of
+requiring two e2fsck runs before the file system is fully fixed.</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2fsck so it will correctly find and detect duplicate directory
+entries for non-indexed directories. ( Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#2862551)</P>
+
+<P>Mke2fs will use BLKDISCARD to pre-discard all blocks on an SSD or
+thinly-provisioned storage device. This can be disabled using the -K
+option.</P>
+
+<P>Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19
+and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on
+the first line.</P>
+
+<P>Fix bug in Linux version 2.6.19 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file
+was missing the header on the first line.</P>
+
+<P>Fix some big-endian bugs in e2fsck and libext2fs.</P>
+
+<P>Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external
+journals instead of failing early with the error "Illegal inode
+number".</P>
+
+<P>Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline library
+which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function.</P>
+
+<P>Updated dumpe2fs's usage message so it correctly gives the right
+arguments summary for "-o superblock=<num>" and "-o blocksize=<num>".
+(Addresses Launchpad Bug: #448099)</P>
+
+<P>Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field
+when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
+have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2fsck's handling of 64-bit i_blocks fields.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck will now print "Illegal indirect block", "Illegal
+double-indirect block", etc., instead of "Illegal block #-1" or
+"Illegal block #-2", etc. This makes it easier for users to
+understand what has gone wrong. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2871782)</P>
+
+<P>Mke2fs now will obtain get device topology information from blkid and
+use it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes. It will
+also warn if the block device is misaligned</P>
+
+<P>Fix file descriptor leaks in fsck and debugfs. (Addresses Novell Bug:
+##524526)</P>
+
+<P>Fix the libext2fs library code to round up the bitmap size to a 4-byte
+boundary, to prevent spurious seg faults caused by the x86
+architecture. This doesn't affect Linux systems, but was a major
+problem on a number of *BSD systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
+#2328708)</P>
+
+<P>Fix resize2fs's minimum size required for a file system so it doesn't
+fail when "resize2fs -M" is run. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #519131)</P>
+
+<P>Dumpe2fs now prints summary information about the contents of the
+journal.</P>
+
+<P>Avoid printing scary error messages when e2fsck starts running
+problems on low-memory systems, as it tends to panic and mislead the
+user. (Addresses Debian Bug: #509529)</P>
+
+<P>Fix blkid's modules.dep parser so it handles compressed (.ko.gz)
+modules files. (Address Red Hat Bug: #518572)</P>
+
+<P>Fix tune2fs so it can add a journal when an extent-enabled file system
+is mounted. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #416648)</P>
+
+<P>Update Czech, Indonesian, Polish and Vietnamese translations (from the
+Translation Project).</P>
+
+<P>Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2822186)</P>
+
+<P>Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #540111)</P>
+
+<H3>Programmer's Notes</H3>
+
+<P>The configure script supports the --with-cc, --with-ccopts, and
+--with-ldopts options. Instead, the more standard use of CC=,
+CCFLAGS=, and LDFLAGS= in the configure command line is used instead.
+Also, --with-ld, which never worked, was also removed.
+(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2843248)</P>
+
+<P>The in-tree header files are only used if the in-tree uuid or blkid
+libraries are used. Otherwise, use the system-provided uuid or blkid
+header files if using the system-provided libraries.</P>
+
+<P>Fix some build failures caused by --disable-* configure options.</P>
+
+<P>Work around a bug in autoconf 2.64.</P>
