-Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released ???????????????)
-===================================================================
+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 <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> 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 <nuno@eq.uc.pt> 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 <virnet@nat.fr>
+	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).
 
-1.	Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files.
+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 <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how
+	this should work.
