-Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released ?????????????????)
-=======================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released ????????????????)
+======================================================================
+
+1.     Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
+       Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
+
+2.     Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes'
+       question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to
+       Graham Reed <greed@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the
+       bug and providing a patch.
+
+3.     Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry
+       Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>.
+
+       WARNING: the compression works only on files/pipes and 
+       drives supporting variable block size.
+
+       WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are
+       incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a
+       version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction.
+
+4.     Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit 
+       architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org> for
+       the patch and to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for forwarding
+       it upstream.
+
+5.     Many cleanups (CPP defines, const char warnings, check of
+       ext2fs COMPAT flags, time_t cleanups, added libext2 version
+       in dump usage text) by Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
+
+6.     Made --prefix option work in configure. All the install path
+       are now based on the configure parameters.
+
+7.     Added the Quick File Access mode in dump/restore, contributed
+       by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>. In this mode, dump stores in
+       a file tape position for each inode, and this file is used by 
+       restore (if called with parameter Q and the filename)
+       to directly position the tape at the file restore is currently 
+       working on.  This saves hours when restoring single files from
+       large backups, saves the tapes and the drive's head. Use
+       --enable-qfa option of configure to compile in the QFA support.
+
+8.     Added the possibility to dump several files and directories
+       in a single invocation of dump. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke 
+       <uwe@ugsoft.de> for implementing this option.
+
+9.     Fixed the dumping and restoring of files with holes
+       (files ending with holes didn't get dumped or restored 
+       correctly).
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001)

 1.     Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
        the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger

+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.     Made 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.     Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
+       the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
+       assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
+       behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
+       Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.
