On the user space side xfsprogs saw new support for the preadv, pwritev and sync_file_range system calls in xfs_io as well as minor fixes to libxcmd and mkfs.xfs, xfsdump grew support for dumping and restoring 32-bit project ids and and saw an update to the German translation. Xfstests saw a large number of fixes, and a single new test case.
