2.4 +E2fsprogs 1.44.5 (December 15, 2018)
2.5 +====================================
2.6 +
2.7 +Updates/Fixes since v1.44.4:
2.8 +
2.9 +UI and Features
2.10 +---------------
2.11 +
2.12 +When e2fsck notices it could optimize an extent tree, it will now ask
2.13 +"Optimize?" instead of "Fix?", which was confusing some users since it
2.14 +implied that something was broken.
2.15 +
2.16 +
2.17 +Fixes
2.18 +-----
2.19 +
2.20 +Use 64-bit counters to track the number of files that are defragmented
2.21 +using in e4defrag, to avoid overflows when more than 2**32 files are
2.22 +defragmented. (Addresses Debian Bug: #888899)
2.23 +
2.24 +Correctly translate Posix ACL's. This was a regression introduced in
2.25 +v1.44.4. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #1807288)
2.26 +
2.27 +Use the online free block counts so e2freefrag's percentages are
2.28 +correct.
2.29 +
2.30 +Fix a false warning that tune2fs will take long time to change a UUID if
2.31 +the metadata_csum feature is not enabled.
2.32 +
2.33 +E2fsck will only offer to set the inline_data feature flag when the
2.34 +inline flag is set on the inode, *and* the system.data xattr is present.
2.35 +
2.36 +E4defrag will handle the case where it is running as root and it can't
2.37 +find the file system to open more gracefully. (Addresses Debian Bug:
2.38 +#907634)
2.39 +
2.40 +Fix a bug where resize2fs was failing to update the extent tree
2.41 +checksums in an corner case. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #1798562)
2.42 +
2.43 +Fix fuse2fs's command line parsing when options are specified after the
2.44 +target device/image.
2.45 +
2.46 +Fix a bug which could cause e2fsprogs tools to segfault on a corrupted
2.47 +file system where the journal's s_nr_users is impossibly large.
2.48 +
2.49 +E2image now includes the mmp block (if needed) when creating a
2.50 +metadata-only image.
2.51 +
2.52 +If various Verity handling bugs which made it completely unusable in
2.53 +e2fsprogs 1.44.4.
2.54 +
2.55 +Fox a bug in tune2fs where it would dereference of freed memory after
2.56 +replaying the journal.
2.57 +
2.58 +
2.59 +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
2.60 +--------------------------------------------------------------
2.61 +
2.62 +Synchronized changes from Android's AOSP e2fsprogs tree.
2.63 +
2.64 +Fix groff formatting nits in various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug:
2.65 +#916188)
2.66 +
2.67 +Fixed various debian packaging issues (Addresses Debian Bug: #915942)
2.68 +
2.69 +Adjusted the copyright license for lib/blkid/version.c to be LGPL (and
2.70 +consistent with the rest of files in that directory).
2.71 +
2.72 +Fix various clang warnings.
2.73 +
2.74 +Fix "make install" when configure was run with --enable-subset.
2.75 +
2.76 +Make sure the regression tests clean up their tmpfile if the test script
2.77 +exits.
2.78 +
2.79 +Fix build failures on non-glibc systems.
