Subject: Re: What's in e2fsprogs.git (stable)

I have released e2fsprogs 1.41.1.  It has a lot of fixes to support
ext4 and extents, and anyone who wishes to experiment with the ext4
fileystem is strongly urged to upgrade to e2fsprogs 1.41.  There are
lots of fixes for ext3 filesystem users as well, of course.

The 'master' branch will be opening up with new development features
shortly.  New features that are expected for the 1.42 release include:

   * 64-bit block number support
   * Userspace tools for ext4's on-line defragmentation patches
	(not yet merged into mainline, but in the ext4 patch queue
	for a whilenow)
   * Support for FIEMAP interface (kernel patches also not yet in mainline,
	but Real Soon Now, I hope!)
   * e2scan and possibly other useful utility programs from the Lustre
	patches
   * Other good stuff which comes up for merging!

							- Ted

* The 'maint' and 'master' branches have these fixes since the last
  announcement.
