+e2fsprogs (1.42.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * New upstream version
+  * Fix various e2fsck bugs when trying to repair bigalloc file systems.
+  * E2fsck can now repair a file system with an overly large
+    s_first_meta_bg field, which had previously caused all e2fsprogs
+    programs to crash when trying to open such a file system.
+  * Fix e2fsck so that it can correctly fix a number of rare file system
+    corruptions that were discovered when using a file system fuzzer.
+  * Fix e2fsck so it does not try to write back block group descriptors
+    if they have not been modified.
+  * The mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last
+    flex_bg so they are contiguous.  This reduces free space
+    fragmentation in a freshly created file system, as well as allowing
+    mke2fs commands which request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed.
+  * Mke2fs now creates hugefiles more efficiently (with fewer extent
+    tree blocks).
+  * Fix a 32/64-bit overflow bug that could cause resize2fs to loop
+    forever.
+  * Reduce the memory consumption of resize2fs for very large file
+    systems.
+  * Fix a bug that could cause resize2fs to create a corrupted file
+    system when shrinking a very large file system (typically > 16TB)
+    that had been previously grown using resize2fs.  (Closes: #756922)
+  * Fix tune2fs updating UUID's when manipulating file systems with
+    external journals (both the file system and journal UUID).
+  * Fix tune2fs so it can remove an external journal for file systems
+    with a 1k block size.
+  * Add a new debugfs command, "inode_dump", which prints the inode in
+    hex and ASCII format.
+  * The debugfs command "set_inode_field" will now automatically
+    allocate blocks for indirect blocks and extent tree blocks.
+  * Fix debugfs's "set_inode_field" so can properly handle
+    "block[IND|DIND|TIND]".
+  * The debugfs "rdump" command will now take multiple source arguments.
+  * Fix debugfs's argument parsing for the freefrag command.
+  * Fixed a double close(2) bug in "rdump" and "rdump -p".
+  * Fix filefrag to properly handle using the FIBMAP ioctl (with -B).
+  * e4defrag will now defrag backwards-allocated files
+  * Clarified messages that were confusing users in debugfs, e2fsck,
+    mke2fs, and resize2fs (Closes: #758029, #757543, #757544)
+  * Dumpe2fs will now complain if extra arguments are given to it.
+    (Closes: #758074)
+  * Update/clarify various man pages (Closes: #726760)
+  * Update Czech, French, Spanish, and Sweedish translations
