	*reiserfsck
		bitmap handling was improved: fix-fixable fixes not only those 
		blocks of bitmap which are wrongly marked as unused, but those
		which are wrongly marked as used also.
2002-09-10
	* reiserfsck
		fix-fixable fixes item header formats, check complains about 
		wrong ones.
	* reiserfsck
		check/fix-fixable does not complain about/fix file sizes if
		safe link exists.
2002-08-30
	* reiserfsck 
		user recieves a warning if dma mode/speed is descreased - it 
		could happen due to hardware problems.		
2002-08-20
	* reiserfsprogs
		Warning/error messages were changed to more user friendly form.
2002-08-15
	* reiserfsck
		Correction of nlinks on fix-fixable was disabled, because
		fix-fixable zeroes nlinks on the first pass and wants to
		increment them on semantic pass. But semantic pass is skipped
		if there are fatal corruptions.
