-version 2.11
-============
-
- - all: don't use own llseek() anymore, glibc lseek() does everything we need
- - dosfsck: lfn.c: avoid segfault
- - dosfsck: check.c, lfn.c: check for orphaned LFN slots
- - dosfsck: check.c alloc_rootdir_entry(): set owner of newly alloced clusters
- - dosfsck: dosfsck.h: better use <byteswap.h> for byte swapping
- - dosfsck: io.c: added code for real DOS
- - mkdosfs: raised FAT12_THRESHOLD from 4078 to 4085, introduced MIN_CLUST_32
- - mkdosfs: fix loop device size
- - mkdosfs: by default, use FAT32 on devices >= 512MB
- - mkdosfs: fix a memory leak (blank_sector)
- - mkdosfs: fix parsing of number of blocks on command line, so that numbers
- >2G can be used
- - mkdosfs: add 'b' to getopt() string so this option can be used :)
- - mkdosfs: fix parsing of -i arg (should be unsigned)
- - mkdosfs: change default permissions of created images (-C) to 0666 & ~umask
- - mkdosfs: relax geometry check: if HDIO_GETGEO fails, print a warning and
- default to H=255,S=63
- - dosfsck: new option -n (no-op): just check non-interactively, but
- don't write anything to filesystem
- - A few #include changes to support compilation with linux 2.6
- headers (thanks to Jim Gifford <jim@jg555.com>)
- - dosfsck: remove directory entries pointing to start cluster 0, if they're
- not "." or ".." entries that should actually point to the root dir
- (pointed out by Thomas Winkler <twinkler@sysgo.de>)
- - mkdosfs: new option -h to set number of hidden sectors
- (thanks to Godwin Stewart <gstewart@spamcop.net>)
- - all: updated my mail address everywhere...
-
-version 2.10
-============
-
- - dosfsck: various 64-bit fixes and removed some warnings by Michal
- Cihar <mcihar@suse.cz>
- - mkdosfs: better error message if called without parameters (also
- suggested by Michal)
-
-version 2.9
-===========
-
- - dosfsck: if EOF from stdin, exit with error code
- - dosfsck: Fix potential for "Internal error: next_cluster on bad cluster".
- - dosfsck: When clearing long file names, don't overwrite the dir
- entries with all zeros, but put 0xe5 into the first byte.
- Otherwise, some OSes stop reading the directory at that point...
- - dosfsck: in statistics printed by -v, fix 32bit overflow in number
- of data bytes.
- - dosfsck: fix an potential overflow in "too many clusters" check
- - dosfsck: fix 64bit problem in fat.c (Debian bug #152769)
- - dosfsck: allow FAT size > 32MB.
- - dosfsck: allow for only one FAT
- - dosfsck: with -v, also check that last sector of the filesystem can
- be read (in case a partition is smaller than the fs thinks)
- - mkdosfs: add note in manpage that creating bootable filesystems is
- not supported.
- - mkdosfs: better error message with pointer to -I if target is a
- full-disk device.
-
-version 2.8
-===========
-
- - dosfsck: Fixed endless loop whenever a volume label was present.
-
-version 2.7
-===========
-
- - dosfsck: Don't check volume label for bad characters, everything
- seems to be allowed there... Also ignore duplicate names where one of
- them is a volume label.
-
-version 2.6
-===========
-
- - mkdosfs: Added correct heads definition for 2.88M floppies if not
- created via loopback.
- - dosfsck: If boot sector and its backup are different (FAT32), offer
- to write the backup to sector 0. (tnx to Pavel Roskin for this)
- - For 64 bit alpha, struct bootsector in dosfsck.h must be defined
- with __attribute__((packed)).
- - mkdosfs now actually accepts -R option. (tnx to David Kerrawn)
- - Fixed typo in dosfsck boot.c (recognition of boot signature in FSINFO)
- - Various compilation fixes for 2.4 kernel headers and for ia64.
-
-version 2.5
-===========
-
- - The llseek() implementation for alpha didn't really work; fixed it.
-
-version 2.4
-===========
-
- - Fix compiling problem on alpha (made a silly typo...)
-
-version 2.3
-===========
-
- - mkdosfs: Fixed usage message (printed only "bad address").
- - both: made man pages and usage statements more consistent.
- - both: fix llseek function for alpha.
- - dosfsck: fix reading of unaligned fields in boot sector for alpha.
- - dosfsck: fixed renaming of files (extension wasn't really written).
-
-version 2.2
-===========
-
- - Added dosfsck/COPYING, putting dosfsck officially under GPL (Werner
- and I agree that it should be GPL).
- - mkdosfs: Allow creation of a 16 bit FAT on filesystems that are too
- small for it if the user explicitly selected FAT16 (but a warning
- is printed). Formerly, you got the misleading error message "make
- the fs a bit smaller".
- - dosfsck: new option -y as synonym for -y; for compability with
- other fs checkers, which also accept this option.
- - dosfsck: Now prints messages similar to e2fsck: at start version
- and feature list; at end number of files (and directories) and
- number of used/total clusters. This makes the printouts of *fsck at
- boot time nicer.
- - dosfsck: -a (auto repair) now turns on -f (salvage files), too. -a
- should act as non-destructive as possible, so lost clusters should
- be assigned to files. Otherwise the data in them might be
- overwritten later.
- - dosfsck: Don't drop a directory with lots of bad entries in
- auto-repair mode for the same reason as above.
- - dosfsck: avoid deleting the whole FAT32 root dir if something is
- wrong with it (bad start cluster or the like).
- - general: also create symlinks {mkfs,fsck}.vfat.8 to the respective
- real man pages.
-
-version 2.1
-===========
-
- - Fix some forgotten loff_t's for filesystems > 4GB. (Thanks to
- <ki@kretz.co.at>).
- - Fix typo in mkdosfs manpage.
- - Removed inclusion of <linux/loop.h> from mkdosfs.c; it's unnecessary and
- caused problems in some environments.
- - Fix condition when to expect . and .. entries in a directory. (Was
- wrong for non-FAT32 if first entry in root dir was a directory also.)
- - Also create mkfs.vfat and fsck.vfat symlinks, so that also
- filesystems listed with type "vfat" in /etc/fstab can be
- automatically checked.
-
-version 2.0
-===========
-
- - merge of mkdosfs and dosfstools in one package
- - new maintainer: Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
- - FAT32 support in both mkdosfs and dosfsck
- - VFAT (long filename) support in dosfsck
- - Support for Atari variant of MS-DOS filesystem in both tools
- - Working support for big-endian systems in both tools
- - Better support for loop devices in mkdosfs: usual floppy sizes are
- detected and media byte etc. set accordingly; if loop fs has no
- standard floppy size, use hd params
- (mainly by Giuliano Procida <gpp10@cus.cam.ac.uk>)
- - Removed lots of gcc warnings
- - Fixed some minor calculation bugs in mkdosfs.
