Hi,

btrfs-progs 4.4 have been released.

User visible changes
--------------------

* mkfs.btrfs --data dup

  People asked about duplicating data on a single device for a long time. There
  are no technical obstacles preventing that, so it got enabled with a warning
  about potential dangers when the device will not do the duplicated copies.
  See mkfs.btrfs section 'DUP PROFILES ON A SINGLE DEVICE'.

* support balance filters added/enhanced in linux 4.4

  * usage=min..max	-- enhanced to take range
  * stripes=min..max	-- new, filter by stripes for raid0/10/5/6
  * limit=min..max	-- enhanced to take range

  Due to backward compatibility, the range maximum for 'usage' is not inclusive
  as for the others, to keep the same behaviour as usage=N .

* manual pages enhanced (btrfs, mkfs, mount, filesystem, balance)

* error messages updates, rewordings -- some fstests may break due to that

* added support for free-space-tree implementation of space cache

  this requires kernel 4.5 and is not recommended for non-developers yet

* 'btrfs filesystem usage' works with mixed blockgroups

Other:

* installation to /usr/local -- this has unintentionally changed during
  conversion to autotools in 3.19
* check: fix a false alert where extent record has wrong metadata flag
* improved stability on fuzzed/crafted images when reading sys array in
  superblock
* build: the 'ar' tool is properly deteced during cross-compilation
* debug-tree: option -t understands ids for tree root and chnuk tree
* preparatory work for btrfs-convert rewrite
* sparse, gcc warning fixes
* more memory allocation failure handling
* cleanups ...
* more tests

Bugfixes:

* chunk recovery: fix floating point exception
* chunk recovery: endianity bugfix during rebuild
* mkfs with 64K pages and nodesize reported superblock checksum mismatch
* check: properly reset nlink of multi-linked file


Development cycle for 4.5
-------------------------

There are a few patchsets that did not make it to 4.4 and are currently
at the top of my list.

* feature compatibility of mkfs and kernel (Anand)

* convert rework (Qu) -- more reivew needed, the pending patches are
  in branch foreign/qu/convert-rework

* delete device by id (Anand) -- the kernel support is required, I need
  to look at the patches again

* improved btrfs check progress

There are a few more and I hope I'll get to them eventually. The bi-weekly
stable releases are supposed to be resumed with bugfixes or docs updates.
