-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.

+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
who reported this stupid error.
3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with
- _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to <johna@onevista.com>
- for reporting the bug.
+ _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.
