-Changes between versions 0.4b32 and 0.4b33 (released ?????????????????)
+Changes between versions 0.4b35 and 0.4b36 (released ?????????????????)
+=======================================================================
+
+1. Fixed dump compilation with old gcc versions. Thanks to
+ Mike Castle <dalgoda@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch.
+
+2. Fixed some warnings (howmany, roundup, powerof2 redefined)
+ when compiling against a recent glibc version.
+
+3. Fixed a bug in restore preventing the read of a dump tape
+ written with Solaris 7 ufsdump. Thanks to Patrick Higgins
+ <phiggins@transzap.com> for reporting the bug and providing
+ the test case.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b34 and 0.4b35 (released December 21, 2003)
+=======================================================================
+
+1. Added a note in the dump man page saying that the default
+ blocksize can be 32 if -d is used with a high density argument.
+ Thanks to Antonios Christofides <A.Christofides@itia.ntua.gr>
+ for the patch.
+
+2. Fixed configure to correctly understand CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS,
+ LDFLAGS environment variables. Thanks to Arcady Genkin
+ <antipode@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+3. Made -e/-E options of dump accept an unlimited number of inodes
+ to be excluded, rather than a hardcoded maximum. Thanks to
+ Dietrich Rothe <d-rothe@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch.
+
+4. Updated the autoconf system to 2.50. Forced the -D_BSD_SOURCE
+ and -D_USE_BSD_SIGNAL defines in configure in order to solve
+ 64bit build problems because quad_t is redifined with a
+ different signature. Thanks to Mike Harris <mharris@redhat.com>
+ for reporting this bug.
+
+5. Made restore build on Solaris, making possible to
+ restore Linux's "enhanced" tapes. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke
+ <uwe@ugsoft.de> for the patch.
+
+6. Made an extension in the dump tape format capable of saving
+ MacOSX specific inode extensions. Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>
+ wrote the extension and contributed the restore code back
+ into this codebase. The same extension mechanism will be
+ used in the future to save ACLs...
+
+7. Made rmt work correctly with regard to QFA and local/remote
+ files and tapes. The remote access will however work only
+ when the dump provided rmt version is used. If you want to
+ use another rmt server, please do not use the QFA feature.
+ Thanks to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> for the patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released April 18, 2003)
+====================================================================
+
+1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths.
+ Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for
+ reporting the bug.
+
+2. Fixed the configure script to only check for headers presence
+ instead of trying to compile them. This should fix issues
+ with old build environments. Thanks to Kari Lempiainen
+ <kari@funky.pp.fi> for reporting the bug.
+
+3. Fixed restore to correctly ignore sockets when comparing
+ a dump (as socket cannot be properly restored anyway). Thanks
+ to Gunther Reiszig <gunther@mit.edu> for reporting the bug.
+
+4. Fixed restore to correctly access the archive file (-A argument)
+ even when using a remote tape. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet
+ <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug.
+
+5. Fixed (again) handling of long (largefile) seeks in rmt.
+ Thanks to Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting
+ the bug.
+
+6. Fixed restore corner case when dealing with large block sizes
+ dump is able to write now (-b 1024). Thanks to Fabrice Bellet
+ <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug.
+
+7. Fixed a bug preventing dump to access a filesystem having
+ a label exactly 16 bytes in length. Thanks to <minduni@ti-edu.ch>
+ for reporting the bug.
+
+8. Made dump store dump dates using explicit timezones, fixing a
+ problem with incremental dumps if the timezone is modified
+ between the dumps. Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
+ the bug report and the patch.
+
+9. Fixed a bug encountered when dumping individual files (not full
+ filesystems or directories) and dangling symbolic links happen
+ to be in the list of files. For as far as dump is concerned,
+ dangling symbolic links are allowed, and are dumped as is.
+ Thanks to Jin-su Ahn <jsahn@ee.snu.ac.kr> for reporting the
+ bug and providing the fix.
+
+10. Fixed open and creation modes and permissions for QFA and
+ table-of-contents files in dump and restore. Thanks to
+ Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
+
+11. Fixed the archive file descriptor handling enabling it to be 0.
+ This can happen in some cases when shell redirections are used.
+ Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
+
+12. Delayed the opening of archive file until after suid had been
+ dropped (fixing a possible security issue if dump is suid).
+ Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
+
+13. Fixed the 'S' command handling in the rmt client part.
+ Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
+
+14. Modified the end-of-tape script handling to print out statistics
+ (and stop the timer) before launching the eot script. Also, the eot
+ script does not get run anymore when using -M (which makes sense) or
+ when multiple tapes are listed on the command line
+ (-f tape0,tape1,tapen) (which also makes sense).
+ Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
+
+15. Relicensed dump/restore under the 'revised' BSD license, as per
+ ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change.
+
+16. Added LZO compression to dump. This new compression method has
+ the advantage of being super fast, thus not killing tape streaming
+ on slow machines. Thanks to Helmut Jarausch
+ <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de> for the patch and to
+ Markus Oberhumer <markus@oberhumer.com> for giving special permission
+ to include his miniLZO project (GPL licensed) in dump/restore.
+
+17. Some small buffer overruns fixes in rmt. Thanks to Antonomasia
+ <ant@notatla.demon.co.uk> for reporting the bugs.
+
+18. Added a special rmt version which can do encryption when writing
+ to tape. Read examples/encrypted_rmt/README for details on
+ how to enable and configure it. Thanks to Ken Lalonde
+ <ken@globalremit.com> for the patch.
+
+19. Made dump work with 2.5 kernel end of tape early warning semantics.
+ Thanks to Kai Makisara <Kai.Makisara@kolumbus.fi> for the patch.
+
+20. Fixed a bug which caused dump -w|-W not to work anymore, because
+ the fs_freq and fs_passno fields in /etc/mtab are always set
+ to 0 0. Thanks to Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> for
+ reporting the bug.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b32 and 0.4b33 (released February 10, 2003)
=======================================================================
1. Added a note in the restore man page clarifying the question
an extra, unrelated error message). Thanks to Dragan Krnic
<dkrnic@lycos.com> for reporting this bug.
-4. Made dump look first into /etc/fstab, then into /etc/mtab
+4. Made dump look first into /etc/mtab, then into /etc/fstab
when searching for filesystem paths. Also fixed some problems
caused by binding mounts or multiple block device mounts.

+ Brian Hoy <brian.hoy@opus.co.nz>. (fixes Debian bugs #147086
+ and #160305, Sourceforge bugs #618699 and #679832).
5. Made dump's -I option accept the value '0' meaning all the
read errors will be ignored. This can be useful when running
7. Made rmt understand long (largefiles) seeks.
+8. Fixed build with very old versions of libext2fs, where
+ EXT2_FT_* constants were undefined.
+
+9. Made dump accept the dumpdates path on the command line
+ (-D file option) instead of using only the hardcoded one.
+ Thanks to Piete Brooks <pb22@users.sourceforge.net> for the
+ suggestion.
+
+10. Enabled rmt, LFS, readline, QFA options by default in
+ ./configure. Updated the configure process (new versions
+ of config.guess, config.sub etc).
