ChangeLog since 1.13.0 release:
- Fix bug in ntfs_attr_pwrite() when we sometimes lose current run in
  the runlist.  (Yura)
- Fix build with --disable-gnome-vfs --enable-fuse-module.  (Gentoo)
- ntfscluster: identify files even if their clusters aren't set
  in $Bitmap (useful to find potentially corrupted files). (Szaka)
- mkntfs: set the physical drive and the extended boot signature to
  0x80 in the Extended BPB which are needed to boot from disk. (Szaka)
- ntfsinfo: fix two freed memory usages when dumping $SDS and index
  allocation entries.  (Szaka)
- libntfs: add ntfs_attr_readall() which reads the entire data
  from an ntfs attribute.  (Szaka)
- libntfs: add ntfs_index_root_get() which reads the index root of
  an attribute.  (Szaka)
- ntfsclone: the --metadata option will wipe the timestamps in the
  index allocation attributes as well. This further decreases the
  compressed metadata image size by 10-25% and more importantly it
  eliminates non-interesting ntfscmp differences.  (Szaka)
- Change utils_parse_size() to use a base of 0 instead of 10 when
  calling strtoll().  This automagically allows specification of
  numbers in hex (and octal if anyone is crazy enough to use that) in
  addition to decimal numbers on the command line options to most if
  not all utilities.  (Anton)
- Fix comparison of $MFT and $MFTMirr to not bail out when there are
  unused, invalid mft records which are the same in both $MFT and
  $MFTMirr.  Ported from kernel driver 2.1.27 release and aplied both
  to libntfs/volume.c mount related code and to ntfsprogs/ntfsfix.c's
  fixup code.  (Anton)
- Change ntfsinfo to dump the key data as well as the keys themselves
  when dumping the $ObjId/$O index.  (Anton)
- ntfsinfo: dump either a minimal (default) or the entire attribute
  header (--verbose) for all attribute types. Dump USA, USN and LSN
  for index records. Removed a lot of redundant code, made some
  formatting and stylistic corrections.  (Szaka)
- libntfs: add ntfs_str2ucs(), ntfs_freeucs(), ntfs_mft_usn_dec()
  and ntfs_inode_badclus_bad() functions, and convert all copy-pastes
  to use them.  (Szaka)
- Fix all incorrect getopt_long() return value usages.  (Szaka)
- Fix VCN size in the index.c.  (Anton, Yura)
- ntfscmp: support bad cluster list, compare full attribute headers
  for non-resident attributes, added manual, build and install by
  default.  (Szaka)
- configure.ac: set PKG_CONFIG_PATH during build time so we should
  find .pc files in the most typical pkgconfig directories.  (Szaka)
- Improve ntfsinfo to dump standard info completely and filename
  attribute completely and index entry (filename) completely and all in
  correct order.  Essential for hunting bugs in directory operations
  code...  (Anton)
- configure.ac fix for Cygwin.  (Yuval)
- Fix bug with renaming directories with names in DOS and WIN32
  namespaces.  (Yura)
- ntfsclone: fix 64 bit destination size calculation on Mac OS X
  (Mike Bombich, Anton, Szaka)
