(To build on +FreeBSD, however, we still need to use GNU Make and redirect dd to use +GNU dd.) + +The configure script now supports --enable-hardening, which enables +stack protection, fortify, read-only relocation tables, immediate +dynamic symbol binding, and text segment ASLR (if the kernel has +userspace ASLR support enabled) by enabling position independent +executable code. (Distributions who want to do their own special +thing can set CFLAGS, CFLAGS_SHLIB, CLFAGS_STLIB, LDFLAGS, +LDFLAGS_SHLIB and LDFLAGS_STATIC as appropriate.) + +The configure script now supports --disable-tdb since on 64-bit +systems, it's much faster to just enable additional swap space. The +scratch_files feature in e2fsck.conf is mostly only useful on 32-bit +systems. + +Fixed the Direct I/O fallback codepath in the Unix I/O manager so that +read/modify/write worked correctly. Fortunately in practice (with the +exception of the Undo handler when running on FreeBSD) used this buggy +codepath. so file systems weren't getting corrupted. + +Mke2fs will now warn if the user provides a label which is too long. +(Addresses Debian Bug: #791630) + +Debugfs's rdump command now works correctly when dumping the root +directory of a file system. (Addresses Debian Bug: #766125) + +Fixed a bug in debugfs so it would correctly calculate a block group's +checksum field field on 64-bit systems. + +E2fsck now has a much more understandable error message when the +journal superblock is corrupt and the user declines to fix it. +(Addresses Debian Bug: #768162) + +Fixed support of extended timestamps on 64-bit systems. + +Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #766379, +#761144, #770750, #428361, #766127) + +Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #825868) + + +Programming notes +----------------- + +Fixed coverity, sparse, gcc -Wall, and clang warnings/nits. + +Fixed Android build makefiles (which was missing a newly added file in +lib/support). + +In general, checks on s_creator_os have been removed in favor of +feature flag specific checks; if there is something that can't be +checked via the presence of a feature flag, we will simply check +whether the creator OS is *not* EXT2_OS_HURD which is the one +operating system where there has been extensive abuse of the +s_creator_os flag. + +The libmagic library has been suppressed when running the regression +test suite to avoid false test failures caused by differences between +versions of libmagic (and/or the magic number database). + +The tests/test_script program now accepts the --failed option, which +will run those tests that had previously failed. + +Fixed tests build on those systems which require LDFLAGS to be set. + +Fixed the regression test suite so it will properly filter out version +numbers with two components (such as 1.43) from log files before +comparing them with the expected golden output. + -- cgit v1.2.3
