+E2fsprogs 1.42.2 (March 27, 2012)
+=================================
+
+The resize2fs program uses much less CPU and is much faster for very
+large file systems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #663237)
+
+The seti and freei commands in debugfs can now take an optional length
+argument to set and clear a contiguous range of inodes.
+
+E2fsck will now make explicit checks for the EOFBLOCKS_FL, since we
+plan to remove support for it from the kernel file system driver. It
+really wasn't very useful and was causing more problems than it
+solves. Since e2fsck will complain if inodes that should have
+EOFBLOCKS_FL do not have the flag set, we are going to remove this
+check from e2fsprogs first, and then only remove the flag from the
+kernel much later.
+
+The mke2fs program can now use direct I/O via "mke2fs -D". This will
+slow down the mke2fs, but it makes it more polite on a loaded server
+by limiting the amount of memory that gets dirtied by mke2fs when it
+is using buffered I/O.
+
+E2fsck was needlessly closing and re-opening the file system as a side
+effect of adding Multiple Mount Protection (MMP). This isn't
+necessary for non-MMP file systems, so drop it.
+
+Print errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() so we
+can more easily diagnose memory allocation failures caused by
+insufficient memory. E2fsck will now abort if there are memory
+allocation failures when the file system is initially opened and
+during the block group descriptor checks. (Addresses Google Bug:
+#6208183)
+
+If there are incorrect block group checks, e2fsck will now report the
+incorrect and corrected checksum values.
+
+The e2fsck progam can now write log files containing the details of
+the problems that were found and fixed directly, via configuration
+parameters in /etc/e2fsck.conf.
+
+Added the ability to limit the number of messages reported by e2fsck
+for a given problem type. This avoids a potential bottleneck if there
+is a serial console which can cause a boot sequence to take a long
+time if e2fsck needs to report many, many file system errors.
+
+The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which cause
+them to use much less memory for large file systems.
+
+The dumpe2fs program will now print the expected block group checksum
+if it is incorrect. This helps to diagnose problems caused by
+incorrect block group checksums.
+
+E2fsck now checks for extents with a zero length, since the kernel
+will oops if it comes accross such a corrupted data structure. (See
+https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42859)
+
+E2fsck has a number of bugs relating to discard that have been fixed.
+(1) Fixed a bug which could cause e2fsck to discard portions of the
+inode table which were actually in use. (2) E2fsck will now avoid
+using discard if the block device doesn't zero data on discard, since
+otherwise this could cause problems if the file system gets corrupted
+in the future. (3) E2fsck will now avoid using discard when it is run
+in read-only mode. (4) Fixed a bug which caused e2fsck to not issue
+discards in the last block group.
+
+E2fsck's CPU utilization in pass 5 has been optimized, which will
+speed up e2fsck slightly.
+
+E2image will now skip copying uninitialized bitmap and inode table
+blocks.
+
+Fixed mke2fs -S so it does not corrupt the first block group's
+information.
+
+E2fsck will now check the new sysfs interface to determine if we are
+using the battery or AC mains. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3439277)
+
+Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665427)
+
+Fixed various Debian Packaging issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665885)
+
+Programmer's Notes
+------------------
+
+Fixed various portability issues for non-Linux systems, particularly
+MacOS X, as well as Linux systems running with the just-released glibc
+2.15.
+
+Fix file descriptor leak in ext2fs_close() if the file system with
+uninit_bg is opened read/only with a backup superblock. (Addresses
+SourceForge Bug: #3444351)
+
+Fixed an invalid return in a non-void function in the quota code.
+(Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3468423)
+
+Fixed the debian rules file so that the calls to dpkg-buildflags works
+when the shell is dash.
+
+The debian package build now uses V=1 so that there is more
+information about potential build failures in debian buildd logs.
+
+If the uninit flags get cleared by functions such as
+ext2fs_new_inode() or ext2fs_new_block2(), we now make sure the
+superblock is marked dirty and the block group descriptor checksum is
+updated if necessary.
+
+The debian rules file will now try to load debian/rules.custom of it
+exists. This flie can skip various builds for speed reasons if there
+is no need for the e2fsck-static or udeb packages. Available
+customizations in the rules file includes SKIP_STATIC=yes,
+SKIP_BF=yes, and SKIP_DIETLIBC=yes.
+
+In addition, if the file misc/mke2fs.conf.custom.in exists in the
+source tree, it will be used instead of the standard misc.conf file in
+the upstream sources. This makes it easier for Debian-derived systems
+to distribute a custom mke2fs.conf file without having to worry about
+merge issues if future versions of e2fsprogs makes changes in the
+upstream default version of mke2fs.conf.
