+
+* [HBASE-24482](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24482) | *Major* | **[hbase-operator-tools] build of hbck2 fails with HBase branch-2.3, due to missing dependencies**
+
+Make it so tests and compile works against hbase-2.3.x as well as hbase-2.1.x.

+---
+
+* [HBASE-23927](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23927) | *Major* | **hbck2 assigns command should accept one or more files containing a list of region names**

+This adds a new option -i or --inputFile to assigns function to allow one or more files to read the region list from for region assignment. Each file contains encoded region names, one per line. White spaces will be trimmed. For example:
+     $ HBCK2 assigns -i file1 file2
+The files can be generated or piped from operator running grep/sed over log files.
