-E2fsprogs 1.41.9-WIP (July 20, 2009)  commit 8b5ed492de
-====================================
+E2fsprogs 1.41.9 (August 22, 2009)
+==================================
+
+Fix a bug in e2fsck routines for reallocating an inode table which
+could cause it to loop forever on an ext4 filesystem with the FLEX_BG
+filesystem feature with a relatively rare (and specific) filesystem
+corruption.  This fix causes e2fsck to try to find space for a new
+portion of the inode table in the containing flex_bg, and if that
+fails, the new portion of the inode table will be allocated in any
+free space available in the filesystem.
+
+Make e2fsck less annoying by only asking for permission to relocate a
+block group's inode table once, instead of for every overlapping
+block.  Similarly, only ask once to recompute the block group
+checksums, instead of once for each corrupted block group's checksum.
+
+Fix filefrag to avoid print the extent header if the FIEMAP ioctl is
+not present, and it needs to fall back to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
+
+Fix filefrag to correctly print the number of extents for zero-length
+files.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #540376)
+
+Filefrag now has a -B option which forces the use of the FIBMAP ioctl
+to more easily debug the FIBMAP code.
+
+Fixed filefrag for non-extent based files.
+
+Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
+free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
+
+Fix inode resizing via tune2fs -I so that it works correctly in the
+face of non-empty bad blocks inodes, and if the filesystem was
+formatted using the "mke2fs -E stride=N" option for RAID arrays.
 
 Fix regression in ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() caused e2fsck -fD to fail

 (Addresses Launchpad bug: #373409)
+
+E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount time
+or last written time is in the future, since most people can't seem to
+believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they have a
+failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.

+Enhance dumpe2fs to dump the extent information via the 'stat'
+command, and more detailed extent information via the new command
+'dump_extents'.

 Fixed non-Linux build of the intl directory by adding support for the
 E/Q/V macros.
 
+The bitmap read/write functions now treat uninitialized bitmaps as
+unallocated; this fixes a number of problems in all e2fsprogs for ext4
+filesystems when there is a need to allocate new blocks or inodes, and
+there aren't any free blocks or inodes in the already-used block
+groups.

 Improve ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to avoid creating new extents which
 get inserted into the extent tree when they are not needed.
