Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change + in the definintion of the struct sigaction in + glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel + for reporting the bug and to + Dave Platt for suggesting + a fix. + +2. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be + self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This + should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and + will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +3. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory + inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this + directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison + for reporting the bug. + +4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility + to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to + be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow + when multiple -e options are used. + +Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000) +===================================================================== + +1. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17) + which was causing several strange dump failures (dump + hanged or segmentation faults etc). + +2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page. + +3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout + instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors + or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell + for the suggestion. + +4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented + dumping a directory having a 1 character name length. + Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no + -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document + this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused + in some conditions hard links to be restored several + times (therefore generation some warning messages). + Thanks to Kenneth Porter for + reporting the bug. + +7. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version, + providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes. + You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM. + +8. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap + before checking for libreadline, because we need this + library in order to compile the readline support. + +9. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation + both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that + you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use + these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan + for providing the patch. + +Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000) +=================================================================== + +1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks + to Stan Bubrouski for reporting + the bug. + +2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented + 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks + to Charles Karney + for the bug report. + +3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to + be more stable against some attacks (like the last one + reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore + was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to + Andreas Hasenack for reporting + the bugs to me. + +4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the + default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer + now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order + to make network backups should read first the man page + of dump and enable the suid bit manually. + +5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore + when using readline support, in order to make the compile + process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to + Patrik Schindler for reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000) ==================================================================== 1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape, - not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Chris + not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul for the bug report. Normally, the device name and the current volume number
