+E2fsprogs 1.43.6 (August 29, 2017)
+==================================
+
+Fix printing of quota inconsistency messages on 32-bit platforms in
+e2fsck. 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.
