Hi Folks,

Here are the changes for this release:

xfsprogs-3.1.11 (30 April 2013)

         - Support for relative paths in xfs_quota thanks to Satoru 
Takeuchi.
         - mkfs.xfs will always go into multidisk mode when filesystem
           geometry is specified on the command line.
         - Document all commands in xfs_io.
         - Remove setfl command from xfs_io.
         - xfs_metadump will obfuscate symlinks by path component.
         - mkfs.xfs no longer accepts geometry settings smaller than the
           physical sector size.
         - xfs_logprint now supports multiply-logged inode fields and
           handles continued inode transactions correctly.
         - kill XLOG_SET
         - Update release scripts to use git archive to address a
           missing source file reported by Arkadiusz Mi?kiewicz
         - Fix a build error with -Werror=format-security, reported
           by Arkadiusz Mi?kiewicz
         - mkfs.xfs no longer attempts to discard when -N option is used.
         - Update 'make deb' to use tarball
         - Sync up with log reservation changes in the kernel.
         - Fix possible unallocated memory access in fiemap.

         - Fix setup_cursor array allocation.
         - Fix free of unintialized pointer in xfs_acl_valid error path.
         - Guard against path string overflows.
         - Check strdup results properly in initallfs().
         - Fix attribute no_change_count logic.
         - Remove extraneous close() in fsrallfs().
         - xfs_repair now skips the freelist scan of a corrupt agf
           when in no-modify mode.
         - xfs_db now skips freelist scans of corrupt agfs.
         - Remove unconditional ASSERT(0) in xfs_repair.
         - Reduce bb_numrecs in bno/cnt btrees when log consumes all agf 
space.
         - Add depraction message for xfs_check.
         - xfs_quota allow user or group names beginning with digits 
reported by
           James Carter.
         - Fix manpages and usage() spelling, errors and omissions.
