E2fsprogs 1.31 (November 8, 2002)
=================================

Update EVMS ext2fsim plugin with EVMS 1.2.  (We still support
compiling the fsim plugin with EVMS 1.0 and 1.1.)  Add better error
handling for child process that die unexpectedly.  Add a hack to force
mkfs to create filesystems that won't cause problems with hardware
that has 2k or 4k minimum blocksize requirements.  Read from child
processes in non-blocking mode, so that the GUI continues to update.

Fix e2fsck so that it returns the appropriate exit code when the root
filesystem has been changed, so that system's rc scripts will be told that 
the system needs to be rebooted.

Fix a bug in ext2fs_flush/ext2fs_close; when the MASTER_SB_ONLY flag
was set, some of the descriptor blocks that should have been written
out were getting skipped.

Changed e2fsck to force out changes to the backup copies of the
superblock and block group descriptors when important changes are made
to those data structures.

Fix a bug where e2fsck could erroneously mark a filesystem as being
clean if a check of dirty filesystem is interrupted with a ^C.  (Bug
introduced in e2fsprogs 1.28.)

If journal debugging is enabled using --enable-jbd-debug, the debugging
level is now set via the E2FSCK_JBD_DEBUG environment variable.

If byteswapping support is disabled using configure --disable-swapfs,
skip the tests which depend on byte-swapping, so that "make check"
won't bomb out.

Lsattr will now display the indexed directory flag.  Also, some of
the more esoteric compression flags are suppressed unless compression
support has been enabled.

Update man pages.
