1E2fsprogs 1.37 (March 21, 2005)
2===============================
3
4Add support for checking the validity of Extended Attributes stored in
5inodes to e2fsck.
6
7Add support for dumping the contents of large inodes to debugfs,
8including the extended attributes stored in inodes.
9
10Fix mke2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and the ext2fs_mkdir function so that
11when we create a new inode we make sure that the extra information in
12the inode (any extra fields in a large inode and any ea-in-inode
13information) is initialized correctly.  This can take place when
14mke2fs creates the root and lost+found directory, when e2fsck creates
15a new root inode or a new lost+found directory, and when the user uses
16the debugfs write, mknod, or mkdir commands.  Otherwise, the newly
17create inode could inherit garbage (or old EA information) from a
18previously deleted inode.
19
20Fixed a bug in e2fsck so it would notice if a file with an extended
21attribute block was exactly 2**32 blocks, such that i_blocks wrapped
22to zero.
23
24Added support to filefrag to detect files which are using the new
25experimental file extents format, and use the non-ext2 algorithm in
26that case.  Fixed a bug to avoid reporting a false discontinuity if
27there is one or more unallocated blocks at the beginning of a file.
28
29Duplicated a check for noticing whether or not the number of blocks
30(given a certain blocksize) is greater than 2**32 when the
31BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl is not available to ext2fs_get_device_size().  This
32allows mke2fs to automatically use a larger blocksize when creating a
33filesystem on a very large device when run on systems that do not
34support BLKGETSIZE64.
35
36Fix the I18N build which was broken in e2fsprogs 1.36 because the
37build system had been switched to treat the .gmo files as shipped
38files (for backwards compatibility with systems that have older GNU
39I18N tools installed), but the gen_tarball.in script was still
40removing the .gmo files from the official source distribution.
41
42Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
43details.  (Addresses Debian Bugs ##296769, #299341)

45Programmer's notes:
46-------------------
47
48Added new functions to the e2p library which convert between a string
49and os_type: e2p_os2string() and e2p_string2os(), and used them to
50make the generated binaries more compact.
51
52Fixed a compile-time error on Darwin systems.
53
54Cleaned up the lib/ext2fs Makefile slightly.
