The main fixes between 1.42.2-2 and 1.42.3 are fixes for in-filesystem (hidden) quota support, and some fixes for > 16TB file systems for 32-bit x86 machines. However it turns out there are some additional > 16TB bugs (for all architectures) that I only recently noticed, so there will be a 1.42.4 coming in short order. At this point the only thing going into 1.42.x series will be very minor (and thus low-risk) and/or very high priority bug fixes.
i.e., right now in all unreleased versions of 1.42.x e2fsprogs, replaying a journal on a > 16TB file system could result in corruption of the file system and/or data. So that would make the cut for 1.42.4. :-/
... and so 1.42.4 will probably be forthcoming very soon....
