+E2fsprogs 1.45.7 (January 28, 2021)
+==================================
+
+Updates/Fixes since v1.45.6:
+
+UI and Features
+---------------
+
+Mke2fs will now warn when creating a file system on a DAX-capable device
+and the block size is incompatible with DAX.
+
+The chattr and lsattr programs now support using the 'x' attribute to
+set/get dax support on a particular file.
+
+E2fsprogs now supports the gnu.* extended attribute namespace, which
+allows mke2fs -d to import the gnu.translator extended attributes.
+
+Add support for the simultaneous enablement of the casefold and
+encryption features, which ext4 supports starting with the v5.5 Linux
+kernel.
+
+
+Fixes
+-----
+
+When trying to run debugfs on a mounted file system, it's possible for
+the superblock to be read in an inconsistent state; debugfs will now
+retry the open in the hopes that it will succeed.
+
+Fix an off-by-one error when validating the depth of an htree which
+caused e2fsck to potentially fail to notice an invalid htree.
+
+Fix potential buffer overrun in e2fsck when scanning directory blocks in
+pass 2. (Addresses Google Bug: #158564737)
+
+Fix tune2fs so that it unlocks the MMP block if it can't perform the
+requested operation.
+
+Fix mke2fs so it can import the contents of a directory using the -d
+option when it has inode numbers that are greater than 2**32. Also fix
+an omission were the extended attributes on the top-level directory was
+not getting copied to the root directory.
+
+Fix e4crypt so that the add_key operation uses the explicitly provided
+salt if it is provided.
+
+Fix resize2fs to prevent it from overflowing the block group descriptors
+from overflowing the first block group. (This can only happen when the
+block size is 1k and the file system is very large.)
+
+Fix debugfs's set_super_value command so it can set 64-bit integer
+fields, such as s_kbytes_written.
+
+Fix filefrag so that it won't crash if the kernel returns zero for
+statfs(2)'s device id or if it returns a blocksize of zero the device's
+blocksize. This only happens with kernel bugs, but filefrag shouldn't
+crash when the kernel returns an unexpected value.
+
+Fix a few bad error code returns in the unix and sparse I/O managers.
+(These errors rarely happen in real life; these were find thanks to a
+static code checker.)
+
+E2fsck will no longer try to fix duplicate file names in an encrypted
+directory by mutating the file name since that will cause the decrypted
+file name to be gibberish, or to contain invalid characters.
+
+Updated and clarified various man pages.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The misc/mke2fs.conf.in script now properly escaping of double quotes
+when incorporating the mke2fs.conf into the default_profile.c file. The
+upstream version of the mke2fs.conf.in file doesn't have any double
+quotes, but this allows a customized distribution of e2fsprogs to have
+double quotes in its default mke2fs profile.
+
+Speeded up mkfs.ext3 by batching calls to ext2fs_zero_blocks when
+zeroing the blocks for an indirect-block mapped journal inode.
+
+Fixed portability problem for implementations of grep which don't
+support extended regexp's without the -E option.
+
+Fix various compiler and Coverity warnings.
+
+Fixed portability issue which caused a build failure when mkdir -p is
+not thread safe; in that case, the Makefiles would not find the
+install_sh replacement script.
+
+Fixed various Debian packaging issues.
+
+Synchronized changes from Android's AOSP e2fsprogs tree.
+
+Update the Dutch, Malay, and Serbian translations from the translation
+project.
