 Support for the MMP feature can now be disabled at compile time.
 
 
+E2fsprogs 1.42.11 (July 9, 2014)
+================================
+
+Add support so that mke2fs can create hugefiles so that they are
+aligned relative to the beginning of the disk, instead of relative to
+the beginning of the partition, using the mke2fs.conf configuration
+parameter "hugefiles_align_disk".
+
+Fix a bug which causes e2fsck to abort a journal replay on a file
+system with bigalloc enabled.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #744953)
+
+Add sanity checks so that mke2fs will refuse insanely large flex_bg
+counts specified by the -G option.  Insanely large flex_bg sizes can
+result in a file system which can't be unmounted, or with extremely
+pessimal metadata layouts.
+
+The mke2fs program will provide a better metadata layout for
+moderately large (but believable) flex_bg counts, such as 133,072.
+
+The mke2fs progam will also check the kernel version number to
+determine whether the lazy_itable_init option is supported, so that
+lazy inode table initialization can be used even if the ext4 is
+compiled as a module which isn't loaded at the time that mke2fs is
+run.
+
+Add description of ext4's mount options to the ext4 section 5 man
+page.
+
+Improve the chattr man page and clean up the chattr usage message.
+
+E2fsck will now automatically fix a last mount time or last write time
+which is in the future in preen mode, instead of aborting the fsck
+check.
+
+Mke2fs will now check the file system revision number requested by the
+command line, and reject it if it is too large.  A file system with an
+unsupported revision number will not be accepted by any of the other
+file system tools, and this command line option is rarely used, so
+let's try to help the user not shoot their own foot off.
+
+The debugfs progam can now set the error count and associated
+first_error and last_error fields in the superblock using the
+set_super_value command.
+
+Resize2fs will not try to calculate the minimum size of a file system
+if it contains errors.  Otherwise a very badly corrupted file system
+image can cause the minimum size calculation to loop forwever.  Since
+resize2fs will not allow a file system marked as containing errors to
+be resized.  It's pointless to calculate the minimum size, so just
+skip it.
+
+Fixed a typo in one of mke2fs's error message.
+
+If filefrag runs into an error, it will continue processing the rest
+of the files specified on thec ommand line, but then exit with an
+error code.
+
+Filefrag now prints some additional new flags (such as
+FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED), and print unknown flags as hex values.
+
+Fixed support in filefrag for files with > 2**32 blocks on 32-bit
+platforms.
+
+Fixed a file descriptor leak in debugfs when copying files.
+
+Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.10 which caused mke2fs to fail
+to create file systems larger than 2GB on 32-bit platforms.
+(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #1099892, Debian Bug: #752107)
+
+Add Esparanto and Ukrainian translations, and update Czech, Dutch,
+French, German, Italian, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
+translations.
+
+Fixed various compiler warnings.
+
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+The gcc "-checker" option has been long deprecated, so remove support
+from e2fsprogs.  It was causing a few people to be confused when they
+tried enabling the configure option.
+
+Update to the latest version of the config.status and config.rpath
+files, as well as newer versions of the autoconf files in aclocal.m4.
+Also, move the e2fsprogs-specific macros to acinclude.m4, which allows
+people who want to use autoreconf to do so.
+
+Make the use of strptime() function in debugfs to be more portable to
+fix regression test failures for FreeBSD and MacOS.
+
+A few miscellaneous changes designed to make life easier for
+translators.
+
+Fix the f_quota test and some Makefile dependencies if quota support
+is not enabled.
+
+Fix cross-compilation support, which got broken in 1.42.10.
+(Addresses Debian Bug: #753375)
+
+Delete lib/ext2_types.h on a make clean, and build it as necessary.
+
+Add a debug program used for libext2fs unit tests.
+
+Clean up the tests so that it avoids using GNU-specific behaviour in
+mktemp.  Make sure the temporary files are cleaned up if the tests are
+interrupted.
+
+Add a new ext2fs_close_free() helper function which automatically
+takes care of freeing the ext2_filsys structure even if ext2fs_close()
+returns an error.
