+<P>Fix resize2fs's online resizing, fixing a regression which in
+e2fpsrogs 1.41.7. (Addresses Debian Bug: #535452)</P>
+
+<P>Fix potential filesystem corruptions caused by using resize2fs to
+shrinking ext4 filesystems with extents enabled. (Addresses Red Hat
+Bug: #510379)</P>
+
+<P>Optimize uuid_generate() to avoid running uuidd if it is not setuid or
+setgid and the currently running program doesn't have write access to
+the uuidd work directory.</P>
+
+<P>Add safety checks (for non-Linux systems) so that uuidd isn't run with
+file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 closed; and if they are closed, uuidd
+will be careful not to close the file descriptor for its unix domain
+socket when it detaches itself from the controlling tty. Also add
+safety checks so that if the unix domain socket between the uuid
+library and uuidd program is closed for any reason, both the library
+and the uuidd will return an appropriate error code instead of looping
+in an infinite loop.</P>
+
+<P>The e2croncheck script, which creates an LVM snapshot and then checks
+the ext3/4 filesystem via the LVM snapshot, has been added to the
+contrib directory.</P>
+
+<P>Fix filefrag program for files that have more than 144 extents.</P>
+
+<P>Update French, Polish, Czech, Indonsian, and Sweedish translation from
+the Translation Project.</P>
+
+<P>Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
+details. (Addresses Debian Bug #535530)</P>
+
+<P>Update/clarify man pages.</P>
+
+<H3>Programmer's Notes</H3>
+
+<P>Fix compilation problem when configured with --disable-uuid.</P>
+
+<P>Don't build uuidgen if configured with --disable-uuid.</P>
+
+<P>Add the new library function ext2fs_test_inode_bitmap_range(), and
+optimized ext2fs_test_block_bitmap_range(), which will be needed for
+future optimizations for e2fsck.</P>
+
+<P>Fix makefile dependencies for libcom_err so that the Makefiles work
+well on non-GNU make program. (Addresses Sourceforge Patches: #2813809)</P>
+
+<P>Enhance the build system so that the full set of commands executed by
+the Makefiles are displayed, instead of the Linux kernel summary
+output, if the build was configured with --enable-verbose-makecmds, or
+if GNU make is in use and the V variable is non-null, i.e., via "make
+V=1".</P>
