Theodore Ts'o 60bf373e45 Break up RELEASE-NOTES into files in doc/RelNotes
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.

E2fsprogs 1.11 (June 17, 1997)
==============================
Fixed e2fsck to detect (previously ignored) conflicts between the
superblock or block group descriptors and block bitmaps, inode
bitmaps, and inode tables.
Fixed bug in e2fsck so that when the message printed out when a block
or inode bitmap conflicts with other data, it has the correct group
number.
Fixed bug in e2fsck and mke2fs where the blocksize wasn't being passed
to badblocks. This meant that not all of the filesystem was being
tested for bad blocks!
Fixed an array boundary overrun case which cropped up in
ext2fs_badblocks_list_test when a user tried running "mke2fs -c
-b 4096".
Adjusted the number of columns printed by mke2fs when displaying the
superblock backups to avoid running over 80 columns when making a
really big filesystem.
Fixed up the man pages for e2fsck, debugfs, badblocks, chattr,
dumpe2fs, fsck, mke2fs, and tune2fs (typos and other minor grammar
fixes), thanks to some suggestions from Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
Programmer's notes:
-------------------
Fixed install rule in lib/ss so that ss_err.h is actually getting
installed.
Fixed bug in ext2fs_copy_bitmap; the destination bitmap wasn't getting
passed back to the caller.
Fixed bug in ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup; it had not been
setting the current inode number (which meant this function wasn't
working at all).
Fixed bug in ext2fs_resize_generic_bitmap; it had not be zeroing all
blocks in the bitmap when increasing the size of the bitmap.
Changed the initial number of blocks allocated by ext2fs_init_dblist()
to be more realistic.
Added a new function ext2fs_allocate_group_table, which sets up the
group descriptor information (and allocates inode and block bitmaps,
and inode tables for a particular group). The function was created by
factoring out code form ext2fs_allocate_tables().
Added a new function ext2fs_move_blocks which takes a bitmap of the
blocks to be moved, and moves them to another location on the
boardboard.
Make the unix_io channel's io_channel_flush implementation calls sync()
to to flush the kernel buffers to disk.
Added a new function ext2fs_dblist_count returns the number of
directory blocks in dblist.
