-===================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released ???????????????)
+=====================================================================
+
+1.     Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
+       in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
+       glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel 
+       <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to
+       Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting
+       a fix.
+
+2.     Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be 
+       self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This 
+        should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and
+       will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
+       <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
+
+3.     The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory
+       inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this 
+       directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison 
+       <gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+4.     Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility
+       to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to
+       be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow
+       when multiple -e options are used.
+
+5.     Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument
+       which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path 
+       (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann 
+       <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug.
+
+6.     Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that
+       dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB.
+
+7.     Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external
+       RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!).

+       You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM.

 
 8.     Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap
        before checking for libreadline, because we need this
        library in order to compile the readline support.

+9.     Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation
+       both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that
+       you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use
+       these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
