The RELEASE-NOTES file was getting too big as be unweildy. It also made it hard to have simultaneous releases of older maintenance releases. So split it up into smaller files in the doc/RelNotes directory. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

E2fsprogs 1.04 (May 16, 1996)
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
First "official" (1.03 was a limited release only) to support building
|
|
e2fsprogs under Linux 2.0 kernels (as well as late model 1.3 and 1.99
|
|
kernels).
|
|
|
|
This package includes a RPM specs file, that it can be built using the
|
|
RedHat Package Manager.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints a hint that if there are lots of incorrectly located
|
|
inode bitmaps, block bitmaps, and inode table blocks, the user might
|
|
want to try using e2fsck -b 8193 first, to see if that fares any
|
|
better.
|
|
|
|
For ext2 filesystem written with the hurd, debugfs will now print out
|
|
the translator field when printing an inode structure.
|
|
|
|
Lots of miscellaneous linking/installation cleanups:
|
|
|
|
Libraries are now linked using a relative pathname, instead of
|
|
relying on -L working correct. It doesn't, in many cases, including
|
|
current versions of GNU ld. This guarantees that the build tree is
|
|
linking with the right libraries, instead of the ones installed in
|
|
/usr/lib.
|
|
|
|
Header files, man pages, and the et/ss shell scripts are now
|
|
generated using a custom substitution script, instead of relying on
|
|
the configure script. This prevents needless recompilation of
|
|
files; in addition, the custom substitution script is much faster.
|
|
|
|
e2fsck may now be linked dynamically, by using the
|
|
--enable-dynamic-e2fsck flag to configure. This is not recommended,
|
|
since it increases e2fsck's dependence on other files, but some
|
|
people need to save disk space, and other critical programs on their
|
|
systems were being linked dynamically anyway.
|
|
|
|
Programs such as fsck which didn't need to be linked against
|
|
libext2fs (or mke2fs which didn't need to be linked against libe2p)
|
|
only link against libraries they actually need. Otherwise, those
|
|
programs would require the presence of libraries that otherwise
|
|
could be removed from a rescue diskette.
|
|
|
|
The ss include files are now installed correctly so they can
|
|
actually be used by another package.
|
|
|
|
If the profiling libraries are built, they are now installed on a
|
|
"make install-libs".
