-E2fsprogs 1.43.5-WIP (February 17, 2017) -- dea731316a249
-========================================
+E2fsprogs 1.43.5 (August 4, 2017)
+=================================
+
+Fix a bug which could cause e2fsck to loop forever when rebuilding an
+encrypted directory with entries with identical prefixes up to an
+embedded NUL character.
+
+Fix build when configured with --disable-threads or --enable-profile.
+
+Fix ext2fs_sync_device() so it returns the proper error code if the
+BLKFLSBUF ioctl fails for some reason.
+
+Fix a potential crash in tune2fs when enabling project quota when the
+file system has no inodes by fixing error handling in the
+quota_write_inode() in libsupport.
+
+Fix a bug in debugfs's "ls -p" handling which could cause it to print
+garbage after a file name in a directory entry.
+
+Fix a number of bugs in debugfs, dumpe2fs, e2fsck, tune2fs, and
+resize2fs where a carefully/maliciously corrupted file systems (found
+by American Fuzzy Lop) could these programs to crash or hang.
+(Addresses Debian Bug #868489)
+
+E2fsck no longer issues some harmless bitmap warnings caused by a
+corrupted file system; since those corruptions will be fixed up by
+e2fsck later, there's no point issuing these internal warnings.
+
+E2fsck will now notice invalid quota inode numbers, and offer to fix
+them.
+
+Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs 1.43 which broke mke2fs's
+hugefile creation so that they aren't contiguous. (Addresses Google
+Bugs 62791459 and 638037607)
+
+Fix how backup superblocks are written in big endian systems so they
+are all correctly byte swapped.
+
+Fixed tune2fs's support for enabling and disabling project quota.
+
+The badblock program now properly handles languages which have
+multi-column wide character such as Chinese. (Addresses Debian Bug:
+#860926)
+
+The mke2fs -U option now accepts "null", "clear", "random", or "time"
+just as tune2fs's -U option.
+
+Fix e2fsck's -E bmap2extent feature (which converts a file to use
+extents from indirect block maps) so that it handles sparse files correctly.
+
+Fix libext2fs to correctly handle accounting for an external xattr
+block on bigalloc file systems.
+
+Fix e2fsck to correctly handle quota accounting when deleting files
+that have mnultiply-claimed blocks pass 1b.
+
+Fix potential buffer overrun bug in e2fsck when using 128 byte inodes.
+(Addresses Google Bug 37326362).
+
+E2fsck's extent tree optimization can now be disabled via an
+command-line extended option or via an e2fsck.conf configuration
+parameter.
+
+The e2fsck program now properly updates the quota accounting when
+optimizing the extent tree. (Addresses Google Bug 36391645)
+
+Fix some error handling in e4crypt when operating on keyring ID's.
+
+Fix e2fsck's quota handling when the bigalloc feature is enabled.
+
+The libext2fs file system now uses readahead when opening file systems
+to speed up opening very large file systems with the meta_bg option.
+
+If e2fsck logging is enabled, e2fsck will report the exit code in the
+last line of the log file.
+
+Debugfs can now open file systems with a bad sueprblock checksum, and
+the show_super_stats command will print the expected checksum.
Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs 1.43.4 where tune2fs was not
-able to correctly enable the quota feature. (Addresses Debian Bug:

#855417)

Added a missing space in debugfs's ls -l output to separate the size
and date fields.
-Update various man pages.

+Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese translations.

Programming notes
-----------------
+The blkid library can now recognize exfat file systems.
+
+Add new test, j_recover_csum3_64bit, which checks to make sure we
+correctly recovering 64-bit journals using the v3 checksum format.
+
Fix portability assumption in tests; don't depend on the existence of
/dev/stdin.
+Fix portability with newer versions of glibc and with Cygwin builds on
+Windows 8 and Windows 10.
+
Clean up the comments in problem.c match the message that will
actually be printed.
