(Addresses Debian Bug: #852727) + +Debugfs will now display project quota information. + +Debugfs's do_set_xattr now uses C strings to parse extended attribute +values, and will print the extended attributes using either C strings +or hex bytes when using debugfs's do_get_xattr command. 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. + +Fix various Coverity warnings and other memory leaks in fuse2fs and +extended attribute manipulation functions. + +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. (Addresses Debian Bug: #840733) + +Stop installing mkfs.ext4dev and fsck.ext4dev + +Update Chinese, Czech, Polish, Serbian, and Spanish translations and +add the Finnish and Malay translation. (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #774379) + +Update various man pages (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #852726) + +Programming notes +----------------- + +Fix more FreeBSD-11 compatibility bugs, including some unmasked by +FreeBSD 11-rc2. + +Fix the Mac build. + +Fix build failure on RHEL 5.x systems caused by an old version of +libmagic. + +Fix a number of bugs reported by ASAN that can cause some (mostly +harmless) memory dereferences beyond allocated memory. + |
