Comment (by Bruce Dubbs):

 Updates/Fixes since v1.47.1:

 UI and Features

 - Drop the tune2fs -r option and replace it with -E revision=<fs-rev>.
   Revision 0 file systems are needed for compatibility with pre-1995 Linux
   kernels (older that version 1.2).  Most of the time, users shouldn't be
   using the -r option and they can confuse themselves and end up creating
   a file system that is missing most modern ext4 features, including no
   online resizing, no support for post-2038 timestamps, etc.

 - Add support for gnu.translator extended attributes in tar files fed to
   mke2fs -d.

 - Add a debugfs command to list all of the inodes in the orphan list.

 Fixes

 - Fix orphan_file support on big endian systems.

 - Fix resize2fs to update the checksums in blocks belonging to the orphan
  file if it needs to move them.

 - Fix e2fsck to clear the orphan file after processing it so that e2fsck
 -E
   journal_only doesn't leave the file system in a corrupted state.

 - Avoid a spurious failure in badblocks when -n or -w is specified twice.

 - Fix a bug where e2fsck could skip checking a file systems with the
   orphan_file feature if there are orphaned files that need to be cleaned
   up.

 - Tune2fs will now upgrade a revision 0 file system to revision 1 before
   trying to change the inode size.  Otherwise, this could result in a
   corrupted file system.

 - Fix fuse2fs --helpfull so that it displays the full help message.

 - Allow resize2fs to perform an offline resize past the 256 TiB boundary
   (which the kernel could do as part of an online resize).

 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

 - Fix various Coverity and compiler warnings.

 - Speed up tune2fs -g when the group is not changed by the command.

 - Fix build failures on GCC 15 due to it switched to using -std=c23 by
   default.
 - Fix build failure when linking fuse2fs with old (2.9.9) version of
   libfuse2 on aarch64.  This hack was needed to fix a regression caused by
   another hacky workaround needed to work around a build failure on
   mipsel64 thanks to glibc using different struct stat layouts depending
   _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is set and this caused failures when dynamic linking
   against libarchive on Debian's mipsel64.

 - Fix unused parameter warnings for packages which including ext2fs.h.

 - Fix bug where packages including ext2fs.h would get the 32-bit versions
   of the timestamp routines even on 64-bit platforms due to a missing
   SIZEOF_TIME_T autoconf definiton in public_config.h.

 - Teach dumpe2fs and e2mmpstatus to support LABEL= and UUID= specifiers
   since the e2mmpstatus man page claims that it supports LABEL= and UUID=.
   This support was accidentally dropped when e2mmpstatus was reimplemented
   in terms of dumpe2fs.

 - Suppress mke2fs's "Creating regular file" message when the -q option is
   in force.

 - Enable Continuous Integration testing in Debian's Salsa forge.

 - Fix a memory leak in oss-fuzz test programs.

 - Provide fuseext2 to replace the debian package src:fuse-umfuse-ext2.

 - In the Debian package for e2fsprogs, add a suggestion to install the
   package libarchive13t64.

 - In the Debian package for e2fsprogs, decrease the priority from required
   to important.

 - Fix the f_badjour_encrypted test to write the error output from mke2fs
   and debugfs to a log file so it doesn't mess up the "make check" output
   and to make those error messages available in the case of test failure.

 - Fix my_llseek() declaration when building against musl libc.

 - Clean up groff warnings in man pages.

 - Document the orphan_file feature in the ext4(5) and tune2fs(8) man
   pages.

 - Allow building e2fsprogs without libarchive-dev installed to make life
   easier for bootstrapping for new Debian ports

 - Various man page cleanups.

 - Update translations.
