-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).
+
+10. Fixed a socket descriptor leak in dump, which leaved opened
+ 3 file descriptors per dump process (and there is one dump
+ process per tape).
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001)
