  1. version 2.11
  2. ============
  3. - all: don't use own llseek() anymore, glibc lseek() does everything we need
  4. - dosfsck: lfn.c: avoid segfault
  5. - dosfsck: check.c, lfn.c: check for orphaned LFN slots
  6. - dosfsck: check.c alloc_rootdir_entry(): set owner of newly alloced clusters
  7. - dosfsck: dosfsck.h: better use <byteswap.h> for byte swapping
  8. - dosfsck: io.c: added code for real DOS
  9. - mkdosfs: raised FAT12_THRESHOLD from 4078 to 4085, introduced MIN_CLUST_32
  10. - mkdosfs: fix loop device size
  11. - mkdosfs: by default, use FAT32 on devices >= 512MB
  12. - mkdosfs: fix a memory leak (blank_sector)
  13. - mkdosfs: fix parsing of number of blocks on command line, so that numbers
  14. >2G can be used
  15. - mkdosfs: add 'b' to getopt() string so this option can be used :)
  16. - mkdosfs: fix parsing of -i arg (should be unsigned)
  17. - mkdosfs: change default permissions of created images (-C) to 0666 & ~umask
  18. - mkdosfs: relax geometry check: if HDIO_GETGEO fails, print a warning and
  19. default to H=255,S=63
  20. - dosfsck: new option -n (no-op): just check non-interactively, but
  21. don't write anything to filesystem
  22. - A few #include changes to support compilation with linux 2.6
  23. headers (thanks to Jim Gifford <jim@jg555.com>)
  24. - dosfsck: remove directory entries pointing to start cluster 0, if they're
  25. not "." or ".." entries that should actually point to the root dir
  26. (pointed out by Thomas Winkler <twinkler@sysgo.de>)
  27. - mkdosfs: new option -h to set number of hidden sectors
  28. (thanks to Godwin Stewart <gstewart@spamcop.net>)
  29. - all: updated my mail address everywhere...
  30. version 2.10
  31. ============
  32. - dosfsck: various 64-bit fixes and removed some warnings by Michal
  33. Cihar <mcihar@suse.cz>
  34. - mkdosfs: better error message if called without parameters (also
  35. suggested by Michal)
  36. version 2.9
  37. ===========
  38. - dosfsck: if EOF from stdin, exit with error code
  39. - dosfsck: Fix potential for "Internal error: next_cluster on bad cluster".
  40. - dosfsck: When clearing long file names, don't overwrite the dir
  41. entries with all zeros, but put 0xe5 into the first byte.
  42. Otherwise, some OSes stop reading the directory at that point...
  43. - dosfsck: in statistics printed by -v, fix 32bit overflow in number
  44. of data bytes.
  45. - dosfsck: fix an potential overflow in "too many clusters" check
  46. - dosfsck: fix 64bit problem in fat.c (Debian bug #152769)
  47. - dosfsck: allow FAT size > 32MB.
  48. - dosfsck: allow for only one FAT
  49. - dosfsck: with -v, also check that last sector of the filesystem can
  50. be read (in case a partition is smaller than the fs thinks)
  51. - mkdosfs: add note in manpage that creating bootable filesystems is
  52. not supported.
  53. - mkdosfs: better error message with pointer to -I if target is a
  54. full-disk device.
  55. version 2.8
  56. ===========
  57. - dosfsck: Fixed endless loop whenever a volume label was present.
  58. version 2.7
  59. ===========
  60. - dosfsck: Don't check volume label for bad characters, everything
  61. seems to be allowed there... Also ignore duplicate names where one of
  62. them is a volume label.
  63. version 2.6
  64. ===========
  65. - mkdosfs: Added correct heads definition for 2.88M floppies if not
  66. created via loopback.
  67. - dosfsck: If boot sector and its backup are different (FAT32), offer
  68. to write the backup to sector 0. (tnx to Pavel Roskin for this)
  69. - For 64 bit alpha, struct bootsector in dosfsck.h must be defined
  70. with __attribute__((packed)).
  71. - mkdosfs now actually accepts -R option. (tnx to David Kerrawn)
  72. - Fixed typo in dosfsck boot.c (recognition of boot signature in FSINFO)
  73. - Various compilation fixes for 2.4 kernel headers and for ia64.
  74. version 2.5
  75. ===========
  76. - The llseek() implementation for alpha didn't really work; fixed it.
  77. version 2.4
  78. ===========
  79. - Fix compiling problem on alpha (made a silly typo...)
  80. version 2.3
  81. ===========
  82. - mkdosfs: Fixed usage message (printed only "bad address").
  83. - both: made man pages and usage statements more consistent.
  84. - both: fix llseek function for alpha.
  85. - dosfsck: fix reading of unaligned fields in boot sector for alpha.
  86. - dosfsck: fixed renaming of files (extension wasn't really written).
  87. version 2.2
  88. ===========
  89. - Added dosfsck/COPYING, putting dosfsck officially under GPL (Werner
  90. and I agree that it should be GPL).
  91. - mkdosfs: Allow creation of a 16 bit FAT on filesystems that are too
  92. small for it if the user explicitly selected FAT16 (but a warning
  93. is printed). Formerly, you got the misleading error message "make
  94. the fs a bit smaller".
  95. - dosfsck: new option -y as synonym for -y; for compability with
  96. other fs checkers, which also accept this option.
  97. - dosfsck: Now prints messages similar to e2fsck: at start version
  98. and feature list; at end number of files (and directories) and
  99. number of used/total clusters. This makes the printouts of *fsck at
  100. boot time nicer.
  101. - dosfsck: -a (auto repair) now turns on -f (salvage files), too. -a
  102. should act as non-destructive as possible, so lost clusters should
  103. be assigned to files. Otherwise the data in them might be
  104. overwritten later.
  105. - dosfsck: Don't drop a directory with lots of bad entries in
  106. auto-repair mode for the same reason as above.
  107. - dosfsck: avoid deleting the whole FAT32 root dir if something is
  108. wrong with it (bad start cluster or the like).
  109. - general: also create symlinks {mkfs,fsck}.vfat.8 to the respective
  110. real man pages.
  111. version 2.1
  112. ===========
  113. - Fix some forgotten loff_t's for filesystems > 4GB. (Thanks to
  114. <ki@kretz.co.at>).
  115. - Fix typo in mkdosfs manpage.
  116. - Removed inclusion of <linux/loop.h> from mkdosfs.c; it's unnecessary and
  117. caused problems in some environments.
  118. - Fix condition when to expect . and .. entries in a directory. (Was
  119. wrong for non-FAT32 if first entry in root dir was a directory also.)
  120. - Also create mkfs.vfat and fsck.vfat symlinks, so that also
  121. filesystems listed with type "vfat" in /etc/fstab can be
  122. automatically checked.
  123. version 2.0
  124. ===========
  125. - merge of mkdosfs and dosfstools in one package
  126. - new maintainer: Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
  127. - FAT32 support in both mkdosfs and dosfsck
  128. - VFAT (long filename) support in dosfsck
  129. - Support for Atari variant of MS-DOS filesystem in both tools
  130. - Working support for big-endian systems in both tools
  131. - Better support for loop devices in mkdosfs: usual floppy sizes are
  132. detected and media byte etc. set accordingly; if loop fs has no
  133. standard floppy size, use hd params
  134. (mainly by Giuliano Procida <gpp10@cus.cam.ac.uk>)
  135. - Removed lots of gcc warnings
  136. - Fixed some minor calculation bugs in mkdosfs.
