-Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released ???????????????)
-====================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999)
+======================================================================
+
+1.     Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
+
+2.     Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
+       that is needed to perform the dump without actually doint it, similar
+       to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
+       <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
+
+3.     Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables
+       dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2
+       partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB
+       file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and
+       the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With
+       the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without
+       asking to enter a new tape each time.
+
+4.     Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big
+       (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Zaphod 
+       Beeblebrox <zaphod@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug.

 1.     Make configure test if the system glob routines support 
        extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob

+3.     Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which
+       has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its
+       contents.
+
+4.     Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
+       which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this
+       is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3
+       filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the
+       NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and
+       it is dumped (it should not). 
+
+5.     Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order
+       to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features.
