Below is a summary (from the doc/CHANGES file) of the changes:

xfsprogs-3.2.0-alpha2 (25 November 2013)
         - Alpha release for the purpose of testing the CRC feature in
           kernels 3.10 and newer.
         - Enable xfs_db write support and xfs_metadump support for CRC
           enabled filesystems.
         - Add directory entry filetype support for non-CRC filesystems.
         - Remove experimental warnings for CRC filesystems.
         - Ensure all inodes created by xfs_repair have a proper d_type set.
         - Fix build on big endian machines.
         - Properly handle symlinks to devices on various tool commandlines.
         - Fix xfs_repair's dirty log detection for 4k sector logs, broken
           in Alpha1.
         - Fix a potential segfault in xfs_repair when issuing progress
           reports.
         - Fix potential xfs_fsr failures when running w/ selinux.
         - Update config.guess/config.sub for arm64, thanks to Colin Watson.
         - Stop wasting memory by caching inode structures in xfs_repair -
           they are never re-used.  Thanks to Christoph Hellwig.
         - Fix several Coverity-found defects, thanks to Li Zhong.
         - Fix platform_test_xfs_fd to return false on special files which
           cannot take an xfs ioctl.
         - Sync up libxfs with kernel code.
         - Improved xfs_repair performance on large filesystems
           (always use prefetch and strided AG scanning functionality)
