+xfsprogs-3.2.0-alpha2 (19 November 2013)
+	- Alpha release for the purpose of testing the CRC feature during the
+	  v3.12 kernel -rc series.

3.12-rcX has come & gone, just say "testing the CRC feature"
("in kernels 3.12 and newer" if you like)

Honestly, this changelog is very mechanical & unhelpful.  Up 'til now,
we've had a fairly easy to read narrative of changes.  This git log format
is a departure from that.

There's so much here ones eyes kind of glaze over.  And re-specifying
"xfsprogs:" in the xfsprogs changelog... not so useful.  Especially
when it's misspelled.

So rather than i.e.

+	- xfsprogs: Note projid32bit default change in mkfs.xfs manpage

say

+	- mkfs.xfs now enables 32-bit project IDs by default for all filesystems

Lots of the stuff below is just internal gyrations no user will
care about.

Just hit the highlights:

* What new features?
* What changes in behavior?
* What bugs were fixed?

you have a lot of leeway, but use your editorial powers to create
something useful to a user by distilling this noise into a narrative.
And fix spelling as needed.  ;)

If you'd like me to just write the changelog so we can get it out the
door, let me know.

Kinda caught up in other things, go for it. English is not my first language. Many thanks Eric.


Otherwise, lots of random suggestions below; not all inclusive.  Understand
what changed, and use your discretion to communicate something useful
to the reader.

+	- xfsprogs: fix Out-of-bounds access in repair/dinode.c
+	- xfsprogs: avoid array overflow in pf_batch_read()
+	- mkfs: add noalign option to usage()
+	- xfsprogs: initialize filetype for xfs_name_dot
+	- xfsprogs: fix potential memory leak in repare/sb.c
+	- xfsprogs: fix potential memory leak in verify_set_primary_sb()
+	- xfsprogs: fix return value of verify_set_primary_sb()

- Fix several Coverity-found memory leaks

+	- libxfs: fix missing filetype updates to xfs_dir2.c
+	- xfs: check magic numbers in dir3 leaf verifier first
+	- xfs: ensure we copy buffer type in da btree root splits
+	- xfs: don't assert fail on bad inode numbers
+	- xfs: dirent dtype presence is dependent on directory magic numbers
+	- xfsprogs: handle symlinks etc in fs_table_initialise_mounts()

- Properly handle symlinks to devices on various tool commandlines.

+	- xfsprogs: fix crc32 build on big endian

- Fix build on big endian machines.

+	- xfsprogs: remove incorrect l_sectBBsize assignment in xfs_repair

- Fix xfs_repair's dirty log detection for 4k sector logs, broken in Alpha1.

+	- xfsprogs: restrict platform_test_xfs_fd to regular files
+	- Bug#725971: xfsprogs: config.guess/config.sub out of date for arm64
+	- xfsprogs: fix a warning in the deb build
+	- xfs_repair: avoid segfault if reporting progress early in repair

- Fix a segfault in xfs_repair when issuing progress reports.

+	- xfsprogs: initialize filetype for lost+found creation
+	- xfs_repair: test for bad level in dir2 node
+	- xfsprogs: Note projid32bit default change in mkfs.xfs manpage
+	- xfs_repair: add d_type when moving files to lost+found

- Ensure all files created during xfs_repair have a proper d_type set.

+	- xfsprogs: fix resource leak in longform_dir2_rebuild()
+	- xfs: unify directory/attribute format definitions
+	- xfsprog: add xfs sb v4 support for dirent filetype field

- This release adds directory entry filetype support for version 4 superblocks.

+	- xfsprog: add dirent filetype information for xfs_info
+	- xfs_progs: add dirent filetype to xfs_db version
+	- xfsprog: add mkfs.xfs sb v4 support for dirent filetype field
+	- xfsprogs: add generated crc files to .gitignore

Since this is a release, to be packaged up in a tarball, nobody cares
about .gitignore.

+	- xfsprogs: remove xfs_check references from fsck.xfs script & manpage
+	- xfsprogs: fix automatic dependency generation
+	- xfs: create a shared header file for format-related information
+	- xfs: split dquot buffer operations out
+	- xfs: decouple inode and bmap btree header files
+	- libxfs: unify xfs_btree.c with kernel code

- Sync up libxfs with kernel code.

+	- libxfs: bmap btree owner swap support
+	- xfs: remove newlines from strings passed to __xfs_printk
+	- xfs: fix the wrong new_size/rnew_size at xfs_iext_realloc_direct()
+	- xfs: fix node forward in xfs_node_toosmall
+	- xfs: don't emit corruption noise on fs probes

. . . this makes no sense in userspace; just an artifact
of syncing I guess.

+	- libxfs: fix root inode handling inconsistencies
+	- libxfs: stop caching inode structures

'cause why?  The changelog for this is very detailed, distill it
into something a user would care about.

+	- db: introduce verifier support into set_cur
+	- db: re-enable write support for v5 filesystems.
+	- xfs_db: use inode cluster buffers for inode IO
+	- xfs_db: avoid libxfs buffer lookup warnings

etc etc etc. . . .

- Enable version 5 superblock write support in xfs_db.

+	- libxfs: work around do_div() not handling 32 bit numerators
+	- db: enable metadump on CRC filesystems

- Enable xfs_metadump for CRC filesystems.

+	- xfs: support larger inode clusters on v5 filesystems
+	- xfsprogs: kill experimental warnings for v5 filesystems

worth noting

+	- repair: prefetching is turned off unnecessarily
+	- repair: Increase default repair parallelism on large filesystems
+	- xfs_fsr: fix SWAPEXT failures under selinux

worth noting

+	- xfs_repair: correct docs for "-t" units
+
  xfsprogs-3.2.0-alpha1 (26 September 2013)
  	- Alpha release for the purpose of testing the CRC feature during the
  	  v3.12 kernel -rc series.

The whuh?  The reader might want to know what this CRC thing is.

"This release adds . . . for the purpose of . . . enabled by . . .
the current state is . . . still unimplemented are ..."

+	- xfs_logprint: print all AGI unlinked buckets
+	- xfs_fsr: file reads should be O_DIRECT
+	- xfsprogs: Die dir1 Die!

- Remove all vestiges of old, unsupported version 1 directory code.

+	- xfsprogs: add CRC32c infrastructure
+	- xfsprogs: updata libxlog to current kernel code

collapse all that sort of thing into

- Sync up libxfs with kernel code.

+	- xfs_logprint: fix continuation transactions
+	- xfsprogs: define umode_t for build if not defined already
+	- xfsprogs: fix make deb
+	- mkfs: add missing noalign suboption information
+	- mkfs: fix realtime device initialisation
+	- xfs_metadump: manpage fix regarding frozen fs
+	- logprint: fix wrapped log dump issue
+	- libxfs: add crc format changes to generic btrees
+	- xfsprogs: fixes and updates to current kernel code tarball
+		http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-05/msg00013.html

tarball?

+	- xfsprogs: add recent kernel CRC fixes (12 part patchset)
+		http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-06/msg00201.html
+	- mkfs.xfs: fix protofile name create block reservation
+	- xfsprogs/io: add readdir command

worth noting; feature

+	- xfsprogs: Various Coverity bug fixes

worth noting probably

+	- xfsprogs: Remove incore use of XFS_OQUOTA_ENFD and XFS_OQUOTA_CHKD

nobody cares  ;)

+	- xfsprogs: Start using pquotaino from on-disk superblock
+	- xfsprogs: fix inode crash in xfs_repair

What's an "inode crash?"

- Fix potential segfault in xfs_repair when creating lost+found.

+	- xfsprogs: fix Out-of-bounds access in repair/dinode.c
+	- xfs_repair: add prototype for alloc_ex_data()
+	- xfs_repair: zero out unused parts of superblocks

- Zero out unused parts of on-disk superblocks during repair, to avoid
   metadata verifier failures at runtime.

etc.  You get the idea...


Thanks,
