36. By Michael Gilbert <email address hidden> on 2015-02-22

* Non-maintainer upload by the Security Team.
* Fix CVE-2015-0247: buffer overflow in ext file system open/close routines.
* Fix CVE-2015-1572: incomplete fix for CVE-2015-0247.

35. By Nicolas Boulenguez on 2013-02-22

* Non-maintainer upload.
* e2fsck-static, e2fsprogs: let preinst remove a symbolic link in
  /usr/share/doc, that should have been replaced with a directory since
  1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.10.02+dfsg-1. (Closes: #698879).

34. By Theodore Ts'o on 2012-07-29

* New upstream version
* Mark the e2fsprogs package as Multi-Arch: foreign, so if a package
  foo:i386 depends on e2fsprogs and is installed on an amd64 system,
  the native e2fsprogs will satisfy the dependency. (Closes: #678395)
* Fix a fd leak which could cause logsave (and hence a boot-time rc
  init script) to hang (Closes: #682592)
* Fix a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
  read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
  superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
  to check the file system after every single boot
* Fixed filefrag so it would not seg fault on virtual filesystems such
  as /proc: e.g., "filefrag /proc/partitions"
* Fix filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents
* Fixed a bug which caused "mke2fs -N 256 -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m"
  to write blocks out until /tmp filled
* Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names
* Change e2fsck so it will allow file systems mounted read-only to be
  checked with the -f option.
* Fix e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an
  error if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.
* Fix tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when
  the last quota inode is removed.
* Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap
  is updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs
  -O ^quota <dev>'.
* Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
  quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
  files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
  e2fsck doesn't complain.
* The e4defrag program now allows device symlinks, such as
  /dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on less
  human-friendly names such as /dev/dm-2
* Updated/fixed various man pages (Closes: #680114)

33. By Theodore Ts'o on 2012-06-13

* Add the -C option to chattr's usage message
* Fix e2fsprogs so it is blhc (build log hardening check) clean. This
  fixed e2fsck.static which previously was not getting built with the
  security hardening flags.

32. By Theodore Ts'o on 2012-06-12

Fix FTBFS problem on the hurd and freebsd platforms

31. By Theodore Ts'o on 2012-04-09

* Fixed e2fsck.conf's man page (Closes: #646963)
* Fixed 32-bit binary compatibility problem for the libext2fs shared
  library introduced in 1.42.2
* mke2fs will no longer fail if the /etc/mtab file is not present

30. By Theodore Ts'o on 2012-03-27

* New upstream version
* Fixed various man pages (Closes: #665427)
* Speed up resize2fs for large file systems (Closes: #663237)
* Be less strict about the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag (which will
  eventually be going away in the ext4 file system format)
* Teach mke2fs to use direct I/O if the -D option is given
* Print errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() so
  we can more easily diagnose memory allocation failures caused by
  insufficient memory and abort on memory allocation failures
* E2fsck can now write log files containing the details of the
  problems that were found and fixed directly.
* E2fsck can now limit the number of messages issued and printed on
  the console
* The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which
  cause them to use much less memory for large file systems.
* E2fsck will now check for zero-length extents, since older kernels will
  OOPS if they comes across one
* Fix e2fsck's discard behaviour so it does not discard too many
  blocks, and it will not use discard if the device advertises
  that discard does not persistently zero data. Also, if e2fsck is
  run in read-only mode, do not try to discard data.
* Fix mke2fs -S so it does not corrupt the first block group's
  information.
* Add pointer for e2fsprogs-udeb to libcomerr2.shlibs (Closes: #665885)

29. By Theodore Ts'o on 2012-02-20

* Fix the fact that dpkg-buildflags was being ignored due to a
  bash'ism in debian/rules.
* Check the new /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online since
  /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/... is deprecated and may not be present on
  newer kernels.

28. By Theodore Ts'o on 2012-02-17

* New upstream release
* dpkg-buildflags is now used if it is present. This allows Debian
  Wheezy to build with security hardened build flags. (Closes: #654457)
* mke2fs and e2fsck now use much less memory for large file systems
* Fixed mke2fs -S so it can be usefully used as a last ditch recovery
  command when for ext4 filesystems that have the uninit_bg feature enabled.
* The mke4fs argv[0] is now recognized by mke2fs.
* Fixed usage and help messages for mke2fs.
* Eliminated spurious bad block group checksum warnings when e2fsck
  falls back to using the backup group descriptors.
* Debugfs's ncheck command is now much more useful when used to
  diagnose badly corrupted file system. Added a new -c option.
* Fixed bug in e2image which could cause it to fail to set i_size
  correctly if the last hole in the file is an exact multiple of a
  megabyte.
* Fixed a bug with resize2fs where for 1k and 2k file systems, the
  minimum file size used for resize2fs -M could be a block too small.
* Fixed the badblocks program to honor the -s flag when in read-only -t
  mode. (Closes: #646629)
* Update Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, and Swedish translations

27. By Theodore Ts'o on 2011-11-29

* New upstream release
* Fixed hurd FTBFS (Closes: #649689)
* Optimized e2fsck speed on large file systems when using [scratch_files]
* Fixed e2fsck handling of blocks claimed by multiple inodes in
  bigalloc file systems
* Fixed e2fsck's calculation of max file size for non-extent based
  files when huge_file is enabled
* Update Czech and Swedish translations
