It will now +allow developers to see the contents of the system.data extended +attribute. + +Fix a bug in mke2fs where I/O errors weren't getting properly reported +to the user. + +Fix multiblock writes in the unaligned Direct I/O fallback code. +(Which is rarely needed on Linux systems, but which is required on +Freebsd systems.) + +Make sure the default mke2fs.conf file includes the uninit_bg feature +flag. (Which was accidentally dropped in v1.43). + +Fix a bug in resize2fs when operating on very large file systems which +have a block size different from the VM page size. + +If the reported device size is absurdly large, mke2fs will now report +an error instead looping forever or crashing. + +Replace a test file but which had a "non-commercial use-only" +copyright permission file with a newer version from the Cyrus imapd +package which now has a 4-clause BSD license, which was making some +lawyers nervous, even though the test file in question was only used +in lib/et's regression testing and was never included in any compiled +binary.
