File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.40.10

Notes:
E2fsprogs 1.40.10 (May 21, 2008)
================================

When deciding whether or not to revalidate a blkid cache entry, if the
device's mtime is newer than the last time the cached entry was
validated, force a revalidation.

Fix a potential data corruption bug in e2fsck in the journal replay.
The chances of this is happening is extremely remote, especially the
default data=ordered or data=writeback modes.  However, if a block
which has been journalled starts with the first four bytes 0xc03b3998,
when e2fsck replays the journal, those four bytes will be replaced
with zero's.  Fortunately, it is highly, highly unlikely for e2fsck
metadata to begin with those fatal 4 byte sequence, and unless
data=ordered mode is in use, data blocks are never journaled.

Updated German, Dutch, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations.

Programmer's notes:
-------------------

Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
details.

Remove default sizes of types when cross compiling, since autoconf
2.50 can figure this out automatically now.
