+E2fsprogs 1.41.5 -- WORK IN PROGRESS (April 22, 2009)
======================================================
Fix a number of filesystem corruption bugs in resize2fs when growing
and print a 64-bit file acl. This is useful for debugging filesystem
corruptions where the high 32 bits of i_file_acl_high are set.
+Speed up e2fsck when checking clean filesystems by avoiding
+unnecessary block reads, and coalescing the block group descriptor
+blocks so they are read using a single read operation.
+
The libuuid library will now close all file descriptors before running
uuidd. This avoids problems when the calling program has open sockets
which then never get closed because uuidd is a long-running helper
superblock-only mode (mke2fs -S), since the left-over journal in the
inode table will cause mke2fs to fail.
+Fix a bug in libext2fs functions that check to see if a particular
+device or filesystem image is mounted, which would cause these
+functions to report that a file identical to the (relative) pathname
+used by a pseudo-filesystem was mounted when in fact it was not.
+
Update Czech translation from the Translation Project.
+Add Chinese (simplified) translation from the Translation Project.
+
Fix support for external journals (which was broken in e2fsprogs
1.41.4).
used to support filesystems without a journal. Update the blkid
library so it understands this.
+The blkid library will remove an entry from the blkid cache
+representing the entire disk if partitions are found, since presuambly
+the device previously had no partition table, but has now transitioned
+to using a partition table.
+
Add a check to mke2fs and tune2fs that the argument to the -m option
(which specifies the reserved ratio) must be greater than zero.
(Addresses Debian Bug: #517015)
Fix compatibility issue in the libext2fs info file and makeinfo
version 4.12. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #481620)
-Clarify tune2fs man page (Addresses Debian Bug: #515693)
+Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #515693, #365619)
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #506279)

Fix various gcc compilation warnings and other programming cleanups.

Add support for building the blkid command statically.
+Add support for disabling the built-in blkid library in favor of a
+system-installed blkid implementation via the configure option
+--disable-libblkid.

E2fsprogs 1.41.4 (January 27, 2009)
===================================
+e2fsprogs (1.41.4-3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Update/clarify man pages (Closes: #365619)
+ * Fix a problem where the 'device names' for pseudo-filesystems in
+ /proc/mounts could confuse the e2fsprogs into thinking that a
+ filesystem image stored in a regular file was mounted when it was not
+ * Remove whole-disk entries from the blkid cache when partitions are found
+ * Reduce the number of disk reads needed when the filesystem is clean
+ * Add Chinese (simplified) translation from the Translation Project

e2fsprogs (1.41.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
+ * Update the debian copyright files to point at the version-specific
+ GPL and LGPL files.
+ * Update the debhelper compat level to 7
* Fix a number of filesystem corruption bugs in resize2fs when growing
or shrinking ext4 filesystems off-line (i.e., when the ext4
filesystem is not mounted).
