 Note, a technical ChangeLog aimed at kernel hackers is in fs/ntfs/ChangeLog.
 
+2.1.20:
+   - Fix two stupid bugs introduced in 2.1.18 release.
+2.1.19:
+   - Minor bugfix in handling of the default upcase table.
+   - Many internal cleanups and improvements.  Many thanks to Linus
+     Torvalds and Al Viro for the help and advice with the sparse
+     annotations and cleanups.
+2.1.18:
+   - Fix scheduling latencies at mount time.  (Ingo Molnar)
+   - Fix endianness bug in a little traversed portion of the attribute
+     lookup code.
+2.1.17:
+   - Fix bugs in mount time error code paths.
+2.1.16:
+   - Implement access time updates (including mtime and ctime).
+   - Implement fsync(2), fdatasync(2), and msync(2) system calls.
+   - Enable the readv(2) and writev(2) system calls.
+   - Enable access via the asynchronous io (aio) API by adding support for
+     the aio_read(3) and aio_write(3) functions.
 2.1.15:
    - Invalidate quotas when (re)mounting read-write.
