+Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999)
+===================================================================
+
+1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
+ was not compiled in.
+
+2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
+ to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
+
+3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
+ file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
+ flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
+ should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
+ by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
+
+4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
+ (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>).
+
+5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
+ unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
+ which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
+
+6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
+
+7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
+ when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
+ dump).
+
+8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a
+ dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
+ one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the
+ compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob
+ worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system
+ DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
+
+9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
+ the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is
+ /etc/dumpdates.
+
+10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and
+ included the current date/version in man pages.
+
+11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
+ the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
+ was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
+ that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
+ the results canceled each other...
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999)
+===================================================================
+
+1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
+
+ - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
+ isn't specified.
+ - several fixes in the man pages.
+ - update the default tape device to /dev/st0.
+ - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc).
+ - buffer overruns.
+ - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp).
+ - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260).
+ - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989).
+ - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's.
+
+2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems
+ made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break...
+
+3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
+
+4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
+ routines (only if available).
+
+5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided
+ by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>).
