1E2fsprogs 1.24a (September 2, 2001)
2===================================
3
4Fix brown-paper bug in mke2fs which caused it to segfault when
5printing the version string.

8E2fsprogs 1.24 (August 30, 2001)
9================================
10
11Revert the BLKGETSIZE64 support, since for some distributions, this
12ioctl has been used by an unofficial kernel patch to update the last
13sector on the disk, and this was causing disk corruption problems as a
14result.
15
16Mke2fs is now more careful about zapping swap space signatures and
17other filesystem/raid superblock magic values so that programs like
18mount who try to use heuristics to determine the filesystem type of a
19partition are less likely to be confused.
20
21E2fsck will no longer complain if the the mode of EXT2_RESIZE_INO is a
22regular file (since Andreas Dilger's on-line resizing tools will set
23its mode bits).
24
25Fixed some minor texinfo, man pages nits for spelling errors,
26texinfo warnings, etc.  (Addresses Debian bug #110621.)
27
28E2fsprogs program no longer print the filesystem version number
29(i.e. 0.5b), since it only confuses people and doesn't serve any real
30purpose.
31
32E2fsck will once again compile under libc5, since it will supply its
33own version of strnlen if necessary.
34
35mke2fs and tune2fs will allow the use of UUID= or LABEL= specifiers
36when specifying the external journal device.  tune2fs will also search
37devices looking for the external journal device when removing it.
