1E2fsprogs 1.27 (March 8, 2002)
2==============================
3
4The warning messages for mke2fs now go to standard error.
5
6Fixed to make sure "make check" runs all of the test programs with
7LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, so that we test the libraries in the build tree.
8
9The mke2fs program checks the boot sector for the BSD disk label, and
10avoids erasing it if it is there.
11
12Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if the journal
13inode was missing when it was supposed to be there.
14
15E2fsck now prints ranges in pass 5 when printing deltas for the block
16and inode bitmaps.
17
18Debugfs's "ls -l" command now will print out the file type information
19in the directory entry.
20
21Create man pages and hard links for fsck.ext3 and mkfs.ext3.  If
22mke2fs is invoked as mkfs.ext3, create the filesystem with a journal.
23
24Debugfs can now examine the experimental directory indexing
25information.
26
27Fixed bug in debugfs which caused it to core dump if modify_inode is
28called without an open filesystem.
29
30The debugfs lsdel command now runs its output through a pager first.
31
32When installing manual pages, remove the compressed manual pages first.
33
34Synchronized with Debian's packaging information for e2fsprogs-1.26-1.
35
36Fix the 2.4 resource limitation workaround introduced in 1.26 which
37actually broke things on mips32, sparc32, and Alpha platforms.
38
39Updated the I18N code so that calls to setlocate(LC_CTYPE, 0) are made
40(which is required by the newer libintl libraries).
41
42Programmer's notes:
43-------------------
44
45Fixed various gcc -Wall complaints.
46
47Fixed a few memory leaks in the e2fsck journalling code, and in the
48ismounted code checking for a swap device.
49
50Add new inode I/O abstraction interface which exports an inode as
51an I/O object.
52
53Exported ext2_file_flush as a public interface.
54
55In ext2_file_write, we now mark the buffer void * argument as a const, since ext2_file_write doesn't modify the buffer.
56
57Lots of small random portability fixes to make e2fsprogs build under
58AIX --- even without the 5L compatibility toolkit, and even using the
59uber-crippled AIX native C compiler.
