version 2.8
===========

 - dosfsck: Fixed endless loop whenever a volume label was present.

version 2.7
===========

 - dosfsck: Don't check volume label for bad characters, everything
   seems to be allowed there... Also ignore duplicate names where one of
   them is a volume label.

version 2.6
===========

 - mkdosfs: Added correct heads definition for 2.88M floppies if not
   created via loopback.
 - dosfsck: If boot sector and its backup are different (FAT32), offer
   to write the backup to sector 0. (tnx to Pavel Roskin for this)
 - For 64 bit alpha, struct bootsector in dosfsck.h must be defined
   with __attribute__((packed)).
 - mkdosfs now actually accepts -R option. (tnx to David Kerrawn)
 - Fixed typo in dosfsck boot.c (recognition of boot signature in FSINFO)
 - Various compilation fixes for 2.4 kernel headers and for ia64.

version 2.5
===========

 - The llseek() implementation for alpha didn't really work; fixed it.

version 2.4
===========

 - Fix compiling problem on alpha (made a silly typo...)

version 2.3
===========

 - mkdosfs: Fixed usage message (printed only "bad address").
 - both: made man pages and usage statements more consistent.
 - both: fix llseek function for alpha.
 - dosfsck: fix reading of unaligned fields in boot sector for alpha.
 - dosfsck: fixed renaming of files (extension wasn't really written).

version 2.2
===========

 - Added dosfsck/COPYING, putting dosfsck officially under GPL (Werner
   and I agree that it should be GPL).
 - mkdosfs: Allow creation of a 16 bit FAT on filesystems that are too
   small for it if the user explicitly selected FAT16 (but a warning
   is printed). Formerly, you got the misleading error message "make
   the fs a bit smaller".
 - dosfsck: new option -y as synonym for -y; for compability with
   other fs checkers, which also accept this option.
 - dosfsck: Now prints messages similar to e2fsck: at start version
   and feature list; at end number of files (and directories) and
   number of used/total clusters. This makes the printouts of *fsck at
   boot time nicer.
 - dosfsck: -a (auto repair) now turns on -f (salvage files), too. -a
   should act as non-destructive as possible, so lost clusters should
   be assigned to files. Otherwise the data in them might be
   overwritten later.
 - dosfsck: Don't drop a directory with lots of bad entries in
   auto-repair mode for the same reason as above.
 - dosfsck: avoid deleting the whole FAT32 root dir if something is
   wrong with it (bad start cluster or the like).
 - general: also create symlinks {mkfs,fsck}.vfat.8 to the respective
   real man pages.

version 2.1
===========

 - Fix some forgotten loff_t's for filesystems > 4GB. (Thanks to
   <ki@kretz.co.at>).
 - Fix typo in mkdosfs manpage.
 - Removed inclusion of <linux/loop.h> from mkdosfs.c; it's unnecessary and
   caused problems in some environments.
 - Fix condition when to expect . and .. entries in a directory. (Was
   wrong for non-FAT32 if first entry in root dir was a directory also.)
 - Also create mkfs.vfat and fsck.vfat symlinks, so that also
   filesystems listed with type "vfat" in /etc/fstab can be
   automatically checked.

version 2.0
===========

 - merge of mkdosfs and dosfstools in one package
 - new maintainer: Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
 - FAT32 support in both mkdosfs and dosfsck
 - VFAT (long filename) support in dosfsck
 - Support for Atari variant of MS-DOS filesystem in both tools
 - Working support for big-endian systems in both tools
 - Better support for loop devices in mkdosfs: usual floppy sizes are
   detected and media byte etc. set accordingly; if loop fs has no
   standard floppy size, use hd params
   (mainly by Giuliano Procida <gpp10@cus.cam.ac.uk>)
 - Removed lots of gcc warnings
 - Fixed some minor calculation bugs in mkdosfs.
