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 + . + +Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999) +====================================================================== + +1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support + extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob + routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski + for reporting the bug + and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling + glitches. + +2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype' + feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti + for reporting the bug and to + Theodore Y. Ts'o for providing the patch. + +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 + 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. + +Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999) +==================================================================== + +1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem + when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this + to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files). + Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for detecting + this and providing the patch. + +Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999) +==================================================================== + +1. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so + one can use 'ident' on binary files. + +2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can + easily verify the version he is using. + +3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira which fixes + a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start + va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function). + +4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not + contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe + for submitting the bug report. + +5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs + this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems. + +6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to + use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and + bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote + backups without being root (or making dump setuid root). + +7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps, + we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option. + Thanks to Bdale Garbee for his ideas on how + this should work. + Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999) ===================================================================
