+(Addresses Debian Bug: #879220)</P>
+
+<P>Fix debugfs's ncheck command so that it correctly prints the inode
+number when printing an error message.</P>

+<P>Fix a bug in e2freefrag where it could print an incorrect free blocks
+count on a file system with the 64-bit block number feature.</P>
+
+<P>Update the German, Serbian, Spanish, and Ukrainian translations.</P>
+
+<P>Fix a bug where resize2fs's free blocks sanity check could fail with a
+false positive and refuse to check a file system with the 64-bit block
+number feature.</P>
+
+<P>Fix and clarify various man pages and documentations. Also fixed up
+some random usage texts that were incorrect. (Addresses Debian Bugs:
+#880483)</P>
