Also fix a bug which cause project quota problems to be +labelled as group quota problems. + +Fix UI problems caused by fuzzy translations such that some messages +are in English and some are in the foreign language, and it's not +obvious to user how to answer yes/no questions. (Addresses Debian +Bug: #856586). + +Fix some out-of-bounds memory accesses in e2fsck caused by (usually +maliciously) corrupted file systems. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #871539, +#871540) + +Optimize CPU usage in e2fsck for very large, very fragmented sparse +files. + +Add an optional mode in e2fsck which trades off additional memory for +CPU time when processing file systems that are heavily hard-linked. +(This can be a very large amount of memory, so this feature is +disabled for now. How to automatically determine when it would be +helpful to enable this optimization, and when it is _safe_ to enable +this optimization is still a bit of a research problem.) + +The mke2fs program will automatically upsize the inode size to 256 if +it is not explicitly specified on command-line and the default inode +size is not large enough to support the project quota feature +requested by the user. If the inode size is explicitly specified to +be 128 bytes, and the project quota is enabled mke2fs will fail since +with an error explaining that project id's can't be supported when the +inode size is < 256 bytes. + +The tune2fs program will not allow the project feature or project +quotas to be enabled in the inode size is 128 bytes. + +The tune2fs program now prints a more understandable message explaining +that the file system needs to be checked using e2fsck -f before +running certain complex tune2fs operations. (Addresses Debian Bug: +#857336) + +If the proceed_delay option is enabled in /etc/e2fsck.conf, the message +indicating that user can wait N seconds to proceed was ambiguous. +That message has been made more clear. (Addresses Debian Bug: +#857336) + +Fix LFS bug which caused e2image to fail to create regular e2image +files which are larger than 2 GiB on 32-bit platforms. (Addresses +Debian Bug: #855246) + +Fix FreeBSD portability problem caused by the fact that they no longer +use block devices. (Disks are character mode devices.) + +Update the Czech, French, Polish, Swedish, and Vietnamese translations. + +Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues. + + +Programming notes +----------------- + +Avoid changing the blkid cache when running tests. (Normally the +blkid cache is not writable by the user running tests, but...) + +The tar file generation process will now create reproducible +artifacts. + +Removed legacy entries for ext4dev in the default mke2fs.conf file. + |
