Hi all,

The for-next branch of the xfstests repository at:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfstests-dev.git

has just been updated and tagged as v2025.08.04 release.

Release Notes:
1) There's 1 new test case -- generic/771 in this release. It's a regression
   test case for a known btrfs, and *might* cause crash on old btrfs.
2) New common helpers _require_inplace_writes (and _force_inplace_writes),
   and _require_scratch_ext4_feature_enabled, welcome to use them properly.
   I think they will be helpful for others.

More fixes on xfs, btrfs and ext4 parts, thanks for all these contributions!

Thanks,
Zorro

The new head of the for-next branch is commit:
