[ANNOUNCE] xfsprogs: v4.2.0 released

[Dave Chinner]

Hi folks,

The xfsprogs repositories have just been updated and tagged with the
v4.2.0 release tag. It can be found here:

git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/cmds/xfsprogs.git v4.2.0
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfsprogs-dev.git v4.2.0

A signed gzipped-tar archive of the source code is available
here:

ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cmd_tars/xfsprogs-4.2.0.tar.gz
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cmd_tars/xfsprogs-4.2.0.tar.gz.sign

The archive is signed with my gpg key (the same one that this
release announcement is signed with).

There has been a large amount of change since v3.2.4:

 297 files changed, 12703 insertions(+), 11987 deletions(-)

and so many thanks go out to all the contributors to this release
(in no particular order):

	Theodore Ts'o
	Roger Willcocks
	Mike Grant
	Lucas Stach
	Jan Tulak
	Jan Kara
	George Wang
	Eryu Guan
	Eric Sandeen
	Darrick J. Wong
	Christoph Hellwig
	Brian Foster

The main driver for the all this change has been to get the shared
libxfs code up to the same base as the released 4.2 kernel codebase
and to put tools and processes in place to easily maintain the
shared libxfs code base in future.

The numbering of this release should now be obvious - it matches the
version of the kernel that shares the same libxfs/ code. In future,
the major/minor release numbers for xfsprogs will follow the version
of the shared libxfs code. This makes it easy to work out what
version of xfsprogs supports the features of a given kernel - if the
xfsprogs version is the same or higher than the kernel version, then
it will support all the features of the kernel that is running.

Problems, issues, questions and general discussion about the release
should be directed to the XFS mailing list (xfs at oss.sgi.com).

-Dave.
