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

        - Fix various blkid topology support problems in mkfs.xfs.
        - Fix various build warnings.
        - Add automatic build dependency calculations.
        - Cleaner build system output.
        - Add missing aclocal m4 file to the package generation.
        - Arrange for release tags to be digitally signed.

xfsprogs-3.1.0 (13 January 2010)
        - Reduce memory usage in xfs_repair by using better data
          structures.

          ioctls for symbolic links and special files.

          2.6.22 is needed for this feature.
