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

I've cut a release of e2fsprogs 1.41-WIP-0427, as a tarball, just so
that people have something outside of git that they can play with.

I made a lot of changes to the undo manager before finally merging it,
including rename undoe2fs to e2undo, and speeding it up substantially.
It is now roughly 4 times faster than before when we force the
creation of an undo file while running mke2fs on a filesystem with a
journal file enabled.

We still have some cleanup work to do, which is being kept up to date here;
