+<P>Add warnings to mke2fs, resize2fs, and tune2fs that the bigalloc and
+quota features are still under development.  For more information
+please see:

+</P>
+
+<P>Add some new options to filefrag from Lustre's patches to e2fsprogs:
+<UL>
+<LI> add -k option to print extents in kB-sized units (like df -k)
+<LI> add -b {blocksize} to print extents in blocksize units
+<LI> add -e option to print extent format, even when FIBMAP is used
+<LI> add -X option to print extents in hexadecimal format
+</UL>
+</P>
+
+
+<P>Fix resize2fs so that it can handle off-line resizes of file systems
+with the flex_bg feature but without a resize_inode (or if we run out
+of reserved gdt blocks).  This also fixes a problem where if the user
+creates a filesystem with a restricted number of reserved gdt blocks,
+an off-line resize which grows the file system could potentially
+result in file system corruption.</P>
+
+<P>Fix a resize2fs bug which could cause it to corrupt bigalloc file
+systems when doing an off-line resize.</P>
+
+<P>Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
+resizing very large file systems. </P>
+
+<P>Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
+possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.</P>
+
+<P>Fix a bug in mke2fs where parsing "-E resize=NNN" will result in a
+mke2fs crash due to a divide-by-zero if the 64bit file system feature
+is enabled.</P>
+
+<P>Add better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid parameters
+when creating bigalloc file system.</P>
+
+<P>When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now
+specify the number of clusters per block group.</P>
+
+<P>Add to debugfs the functionality to corrupt a specific file system
+block via the "zap_block" command.</P>
+
+<P>Add to debugfs the functionality to print out a hex dump of a block in
+the file system via the "block_dump" command.</P>
+
+<P>Add to debugfs the functionality to manipulate the extent tree
+directly via the "extent_open" command.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group
+statistics.</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2fsck so it can detect and fix inconsistencies in the interior
+nodes of an inode's extent tree.</P>
+
+<P>Fix a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if
+the call to ext2fs_open2() fails.</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and the
+resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes, that it
+properly handles this situation instead of crashing.</P>
+
+<P>E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to
+allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to
+track down the problem.</P>
+
+<P>Fix mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option.  (Addresses
+Lustre Bug: LU-1888)</P>
+
+<P>E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output file
+when the user specifies the -a option.</P>
+
+<P>If e2fsprogs is compiled without --enable-quota, make sure that
+tune2fs can not turn on the feature for new-style quota support, since
+afterwards, none of the e2fsprogs tools will be willing to touch that
+file system.</P>
+
+<P>Optimize e2fsck's so that it uses much less CPU for large file
+systems.  This can result in significant speedups, especially on
+CPU-constrained systems.  This was primarily done by optimizing
+libext2fs's bitmap functions.  (Addresses Google Bug: #7534813)</P>
+
+<P>Fix debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent through
+the pager.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed debugfs's "dump_file" and "cat" functions work correctly
+on file systems whose block size is greater than 8k.</P>
+
+<P>Fix e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses much
+less memory.  (Addresses Google Bug: 7269948)</P>
+
+<P>Update the spd_readdir.c file in the contrib directory to include some
+additions which were made in 2008 that didn't get folded into the
+version which we checked into the e2fsprogs source tree.  These
+enhancements include thread safety, support for readdir64_r(), and
+safe_getenv() support in case spd_readdir.so is used for setuid binaries.</P>
+
+<P>Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
+translations</P>
+
+<P>Add a command to debugfs to create symlinks.</P>
+
+<P>Document the bigalloc feature in the mke2fs man page.  (Addresses
+Debian Bug: #669730)</P>
+
+<H3>Programmer's Notes</H3>
+
+<P>Fix gcc -Wall nits.</P>
+
+<P>Fix a spelling typo in the libext2fs texinfo documentation.</P>
+
+<P>Change the output from "make check" so that tools such as emacs's "M-x
+compile" does not mistake the output as containing a compiler error.</P>
+
+<P>Export two new functions from libext2fs: ext2fs_extent_node_split()
+and ext2fs_extent_goto2().</P>
+
+<P>The ext2fs_extents_fix_parents() was fixed so it does not modify the
+location of the extent handle if its current location is at an
+interior node, rather than a leaf node of an inode's extent tree.</P>
+
+<P>Add a regression test to assure that e2fsck can correctly fix an
+inconsistent interior node in an inode's extent tree.</P>
+
+<P>The ext2fs_{mark,unmark,test}_block_bitmap_range2() functions now
+correctly support bigalloc file systems which use store block usage
+information in units of clusters.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed the help text in the configure script for --enable-quota.</P>
+
+<P>The m68k-specific bitops code has been removed since they were
+incorrectly treating bit numbers with the high bit set as signed
+integers.  Furthermore, modern compilers do a good enough job
+optimizing the generic code there is no point in having the m68k
+specific asm statements.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed how we link the test programs so they always use the static
+libraries, so that we test using the libraries which we have just
+built.</P>
+
+<P>Update config.guess and config.sub to the latest versions from the GNU
+project.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed the com_err.texinfo file so that it can produce a valid
+postscript/pdf printed output.</P>
+
+<P>Add a regression test which checks debugfs's ability to create
+symlinks, named FIFO's, and device nodes.</P>
+
+<P>Add a function ext2fs_symlink(), which creates symlinks to the
+libext2fs library.</P>
+
+<P>Add debugging code so we can test old kernel interfaces for online
+resize to resize2fs.  This backwards compatibility checking is keyed
+off of the RESIZE2FS_KERNEL_VERSION, which is designed to allow us to
+test the functionality of the kernel's older resize ioctls without
+needing to install an old version of resize2fs, and to also test a
+modern resize2fs's ability to work with older kernels without having
+to install an older version of the kernel.</P>
