-Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released ???????????????)
-=====================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released ?????????????????)
+=======================================================================
+
+1.     Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
+       the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger 
+       <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one.
+
+2.     Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs
+       headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users
+       who reported this stupid error.
+
+3.     Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with 
+       _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
+       <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.
+
+4.     Improved the error detection in restore when creating
+       the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
+       report a 'no space left on device' error instead of 
+       strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
+       Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
+       bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
+
+5.     Added the throughput information in dump's progression
+       messages.  Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> 
+       for the patch.
+
+6.     Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
+       robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
+       bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
+       <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
+       the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
+       fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
+       anything, he is to blame for :-)).
+
+7.     Make dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
+       containing large files, generate a large file on output and
+       restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
+       default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
+       it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to
+       Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch,
+       and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
+       useful thoughts.

+8.     Get the values for the default tape device and the location
+       of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to
+       Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
+
+9.     Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems 
+       present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present
+       the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks
+       to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
+
+10.    Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the
+       default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will
+       override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
+       <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
+
+11.    Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label.
+       Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option)
+       will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
+       <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
