E2fsprogs 1.40.4 (December 31, 2007)
====================================
Improve time-based UUID generation. A new daemon uuidd, is started
automatically by libuuid if necessary. This daemon is setuid to allow
updates to /var/lib/libuuid, so the clock sequence number can be
stored and so if the clock is set backwards, it can be detected.
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1529672, Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
#233471)
Filter out the NEEDS_RECOVERY feature flag when writing out the backup
superblocks. This avoids e2fsck from concluding that a full
filesystem check is required before backing up the superblock due to
changes in the feature flags. (Addresses Debian Bug: #454926)
Fix fsck to only treat the '#' character as a comment at the beginning
of the line in /etc/fstab. Otherwise fstabs for the fuse filesystem
will cause fsck to issue an bogus warning message.
(Addresses Gentoo bug: #195405, Addresses Sourceforge bug: #1826147)
Format control characters and characters with the high eighth bit set
when printing the contents of the blkid cache, to prevent filesystems
with garbage labels from sending escape sequences to the user's screen
that might, for example place it in graphics mode. (Addresses Ubuntu
Bug: #78087)
Fix sign-extension problem on 64-bit systems in in the com_err
library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1809658)
Avoid division by zero error when probing an invalid FAT filesystem in
the blkid library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1831627)
Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the Translation
Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice of the
Translation Project.
Programmer's Notes:
-------------------
Fix the libss "make check" regression test so that it works if the
current directory is not in the user's path or if the libss shared
library is not installed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1848974)
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
(Addresses Debian Bugs: #444883, #441872)
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #437720, #451172, #458017)
Fix build failure on non-Linux/non-Hurd/non-Masix systems.
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1859778)
Fix Hurd portability issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #437720)

e2fsprogs (1.40.3-2) unstable; urgency=low
e2fsprogs (1.40.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Add uuidd daemon
* Make sure that programs like tune2fs, when modifying a mounted
filesystem do not write the backup superblocks with the
NEEDS_RECOVERY flag, to avoid e2fsck from needlessly forcing a
full fsck because it thinks the feature flags need to be backed up
from the master to the backup superblocks. (Closes: #454926)
* Improve time-based UUID generation to guarantee uniqueness even when
UUID's are being generated at very high rates on SMP systems. To
do this we use an optional setuid helper daemon (uuidd) which is
started by libuuid when it is needed. The uuidd daemon is
packaged in the (new) uuid-runtime package, which now also includes
the uuidgen program (which had been previously been included as
part of the e2fsprogs package).
* Fix fsck to only treat '#' characters at the beginning of /etc/fstab
lines as starting a comment. This avoids spurious warnings printed
for filesystems such as fuse that often use '#' as part of the
filesystem specifier (i.e., wdfs#https://dav.hoster.com/foo).
* Enhance the blkid program to pretty-print control and meta
characters to avoid garbage filesystem labels from screwing up the
user's terminal
* Fix potential integer overflows passed to malloc() in resize2fs
* Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the
Translation Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice
of the Translation Project.
* Fix cross-compilation support for non-Linux architectures
(Closes: #451172, #437720)
* Clarified and improved man pages (Closes: #444883, #441872)
* Fix potential divide by zero error when libblkid tried probing an
invalid FAT filesystem.
* Make error_message() in libcom_err DTRT when when a 64-bit sign-extended
error code is passed to it.
* Build the e2fsck-static package so that e2fsck.static will not use
TLS and hence will run correctly on back-level Debian systems
using a 2.4 Linux kernel. (Closes: #458017)
