E2fsprogs 1.45.3 (July 14, 2019)
================================

Updates/Fixes since v1.45.2:

UI and Features
---------------

Whether or not automatic online scrubs will be run is now controlled by
a setting in /etc/e2scrub.conf.  To enable automatic online scrubs,
uncomment out the line containing "periodic_e2scrub=1".

The fuse2fs program is now installed in /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin,
since it does not require root privileges.

Fuse2fs now works with if fusermount from FUSE V3 is installed.
However, in order to provide this compatibility, if you are using a
fusermount from FUSE v2, and you want to mount on top of a non-empty
directory, you will need to specify -o nonempty explicitly.  FUSE V3
always allows mounting on top of non-empty directories, and will fail if
the user or fuse2fs passes the nonempty option.

Fixes
-----

Fixed a bug which caused e2fsck to improperly handle file systems that
enabled both the large_dir and inline directories at the same time.

E2scrub_all now correctly handles an encrypted (LUKS) ext[234] file
system stacked on top of an LVM volume.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #931387)

Fixed a bug in "E2scrub_all -r" where it was incorrectly specifying
which volume needed to have its e2scrub snapshot cleaned up.  (Addresses
Debian Bug: #931679)

Fixed the Czech, Dutch, German, and Vietnamese translations which
improperly used positional markers which broke a few translated e2fsck
problem descriptions.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #892173)

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

Fixed various debian packaging issues.  (Addresses Debian Bug: #931266,
#923372)

Fixed error checking for calls to posix_{memalign,fadvise}.

Add regression test for checking a file system using fs-verity.

Various regression test cleanups.

Fixed various compiler warnings.

Added xgettext markers to fix incorrectly marked strings in the
e2fsprogs translations template file as being c-style printf strings
when in fact they aren't.

Added utility script which generates the release tarfile using git
archive.

Update the Czech, Dutch, and Portuguese translations from the
Translation Project.
