+version 2.11
+============
+
+ - all: don't use own llseek() anymore, glibc lseek() does everything we need
+ - dosfsck: lfn.c: avoid segfault
+ - dosfsck: check.c, lfn.c: check for orphaned LFN slots
+ - dosfsck: check.c alloc_rootdir_entry(): set owner of newly alloced clusters
+ - dosfsck: dosfsck.h: better use <byteswap.h> for byte swapping
+ - dosfsck: io.c: added code for real DOS
+ - mkdosfs: raised FAT12_THRESHOLD from 4078 to 4085, introduced MIN_CLUST_32
+ - mkdosfs: fix loop device size
+ - mkdosfs: by default, use FAT32 on devices >= 512MB
+ - mkdosfs: fix a memory leak (blank_sector)
+ - mkdosfs: fix parsing of number of blocks on command line, so that numbers
+   >2G can be used
+ - mkdosfs: add 'b' to getopt() string so this option can be used :)
+ - mkdosfs: fix parsing of -i arg (should be unsigned)
+ - mkdosfs: change default permissions of created images (-C) to 0666 & ~umask
+ - mkdosfs: relax geometry check: if HDIO_GETGEO fails, print a warning and
+   default to H=255,S=63
+ - dosfsck: new option -n (no-op): just check non-interactively, but
+   don't write anything to filesystem
+ - A few #include changes to support compilation with linux 2.6
+   headers (thanks to Jim Gifford <jim@jg555.com>)
+ - dosfsck: remove directory entries pointing to start cluster 0, if they're
+   not "." or ".." entries that should actually point to the root dir
+   (pointed out by Thomas Winkler <twinkler@sysgo.de>)
+ - mkdosfs: new option -h to set number of hidden sectors
+   (thanks to Godwin Stewart <gstewart@spamcop.net>)
+ - all: updated my mail address everywhere...
+
+version 2.10
+============
+
+ - dosfsck: various 64-bit fixes and removed some warnings by Michal
+   Cihar <mcihar@suse.cz>
+ - mkdosfs: better error message if called without parameters (also
+   suggested by Michal)
+
+version 2.9
+===========
+
+ - dosfsck: if EOF from stdin, exit with error code
+ - dosfsck: Fix potential for "Internal error: next_cluster on bad cluster".
+ - dosfsck: When clearing long file names, don't overwrite the dir
+   entries with all zeros, but put 0xe5 into the first byte.
+   Otherwise, some OSes stop reading the directory at that point...
+ - dosfsck: in statistics printed by -v, fix 32bit overflow in number
+   of data bytes.
+ - dosfsck: fix an potential overflow in "too many clusters" check
+ - dosfsck: fix 64bit problem in fat.c (Debian bug #152769)
+ - dosfsck: allow FAT size > 32MB.
+ - dosfsck: allow for only one FAT
+ - dosfsck: with -v, also check that last sector of the filesystem can
+   be read (in case a partition is smaller than the fs thinks)
+ - mkdosfs: add note in manpage that creating bootable filesystems is
+   not supported.
+ - mkdosfs: better error message with pointer to -I if target is a
+   full-disk device.
+
+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.
