======================================
+Dumpe2fs will keep going now if the bad block inode can't be read.
+(Previously it stopped with a fatal error.)
+
+E2fsck will now give an opportunity to run the journal even if the
+recovery flag is not set. This is the default behaviour if e2fsck is
+using a backup superblock, since the needs_recovery flag will never be
+set in the backup superblock copies.
+
+E2fsck now automatically finds the backup superblock/group descriptors
+even when the primary superblock is completely destroyed for 2k and 4k
+filesystems. (Previously it just guessed/assumed that we were dealing
+with a 1k filesystem in that case, and users had to manually specify
+the backup superblock number.)
+
+Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it dereferences a null pointer when there
+is a problem opening a filesystem in preen mode.
+
+E2fsck now handles external journals correctly; previously it trashed
+the external journal device if the journal needed to be replayed.
+
+Work around ulimit incompatibility problem caused by recent 2.4
+kernels; the unix IO module will automatically try to set any resource
+limits to be infinite on startup.
+
Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it wasn't allocating a new block or inode
bitmap if it wasn't present and the blocksize was 2k or 4k.

Fix a bug in fsck where it would not support a filesystem type of
"auto" if the device was specified in terms of LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx.
+Fsck now searchs the LVM proc hierarchy to find logical volumes which
+should be searched for UUID and label information.
+
Work around a bug in 2.4.10+ kernels by trying to unset the filesize
limit if at all possible, when opening a block device. (The filesize
limit shouldn't be applied against writes to a block device.)
+In mke2fs and e2fsck, specifying the -c option twice will now do
+a read/write test on the disk. Update the man pages to encourage
+using the -c option, and to discouraging running badblocks separately,
+since users tend to forget to set the blocksize when running
+badblocks.
+
Mke2fs now automatically clears the immutable attribute on a
pre-existing .journal file left over from a previous failed attempt to
add a journal to an alreadyy-mounted filesystem.

Fixed mke2fs's exit codes to consistently indicate when the mke2fs
operation failed.
+Mke2fs now creates the lost+found directory with permissions of 0700,
+so that files that had previously lived in protected directory are
+safe if they get dropped in lost+found and the system administrator
+doesn't deal with immediately. (Addresses Debian #bug 118443)
+
+Mke2fs and e2fsck (and all programs that use the
+ext2fs_check_if_mounted function) will now properly identify that a
+device is mounted, even in cases where devfs has confused things with
+multiple devices names with the same identity, or if a dim-witted
+system administrator has done something stupid like creating device
+file aliases in their home directory. Also now checks for swap devices
+by using /proc/swaps. (Addresses Debian bug #106622)

Speed up e2image when creating sparse raw image files by optimizing
away excess lseek() system calls.

Debugfs's set_super_value command now prints out the list of valid

+Debugfs's rm and kill_file command now updates the superblock free block

Add support for a new ext2 file attribute, EXT2_NOTAIL_FL, which will
be used to signal that a particular inode should not be eligible for
tail-merging --- this is needed for programs like LILO.

Added new translation file for Turkish.
+Programmer's notes:
+-------------------
+
+Fix general gcc -Wall complaints.
+
+E2fsprogs (mostly) works with the dietlibc.
+
+The programming texinfo file has been expanded to include description
+of additional libext2fs functions. (Still not compeltely done, but a
+lot of the more important functions have been documented.)
+
+Added a umask structure to struct_ext2_filsys, which currently only
+modifies the behaviour of ext2fs_mkdir(), but if we add any file
+creation functions to libext2fs, we should also make sure they respect
+the umask setting.
