I've released e2fsprogs 1.44.2 in all of the usual places; it's tagged

E2fsprogs 1.44.2 (May 14, 2018)
===============================

Updates/Fixes since v1.44.1:

Fixes
-----

E2fsck now prints a warning message if broken_system_clock is set in
e2fsck.conf and this causes the check interval to be ignored so it is
clear to the user.

Fix e2image handling of e2i files on big endian systems

Add sanity checks for inodes containing xattr values to prevent
maliciously crafted file systems from causing crashes caused by infinite
recursion from causing e2fsck and debugfs to crash.

Fix e2fsck so that quota usage is adjusted when clearing orphaned
inodes.

Fix filefrag so that unknown flags returned by FIEMAP won't cause a
buffer overrun.

Fix mke2fs to print a more useful/correct error message if
ext2fs_close_free() at the end of the file system creation process.

Improve chattr's man page.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Demote e2fsprogs in debian packaging from Essential: yes to
XB-Important: yes (Addresses Debian Bug #474540)

Fix intl/Makefile so it uses @AR@ instead of a hard-coded 'ar' (which
matters when cross compiling).

Update Polish translation file.

Fix the address of the FSF in various GPL/LGPL copyright licenses.

Clean up the i_bitmaps test so it doesn't leave temporary files behind.

Remove use of /dev/stdin in the regression tests since not all systems
have /dev/stdin.

Fix the f_bigalloc_badinode and f_bigalloc_orphan_list regression tests
so they uses mke2fs and ebugfs from the build tree.  They may not exist
in the users PATH, and if they not or if they are extremely
old/obsolete, those tests would fail.
