* Update warning message about lowercase labels
* mkfs.fat: Read geom_start from sysfs
* Add missing files into distribution tarball
- BREAKING CHANGES (boo#1188401):
After fixing of bsc#1172863 in the last update, mkfs started to
create different images than before. Applications that depend on
exact FAT file format (e. g. embedded systems) may be broken in
two ways:
* The introduction of the alignment may create smaller images
than before, with a different positions of important image
elements. It can break existing software that expect images in
doststools <= 4.1 style.
To work around these problems, use "-a" command line argument.
* The new image may contain a different geometry values. Geometry
sensitive applications expecting doststools <= 4.1 style images
can fails to accept different geometry values.
There is no direct work around for this problem. But you can
take the old image, use "file -s $IMAGE", check its
"sectors/track" and "heads", and use them in the newly
introduced "-g" command line argument.
