3Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released ????????????????)
4======================================================================
5
90aa4874 61. Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
fa7fb417 7 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
58d85348 8
90aa4874
SP
92. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes'
10 question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to
11 Graham Reed <greed@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the
12 bug and providing a patch.
13
a01aa5e8 143. Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry
401a4d13 15 Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>.
a01aa5e8
SP
16
17 WARNING: the compression works only on drives supporting
18 variable block size.
19
20 WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are
21 incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a
22 version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction.
23
401a4d13
SP
244. Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit
25 architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org> for
26 the patch and to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for forwarding
27 it upstream.

29Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001)
30======================================================================
58d85348
SP
31
321. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
33 the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
34 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one.
1099d48c 35
a23c5022
SP
362. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs
37 headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users
38 who reported this stupid error.
39
a1158276 403. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with
f1266a2f
SP
41 _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
42 <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.
a1158276 43
42bcc624
SP
444. Improved the error detection in restore when creating
45 the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
46 report a 'no space left on device' error instead of
47 strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
48 Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
49 bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
50
88f15c1b
SP
515. Added the throughput information in dump's progression
52 messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
53 for the patch.
54
0bd5aa90
SP
556. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
56 robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
57 bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
58 <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
59 the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
60 fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
61 anything, he is to blame for :-)).
62
7ae7e2fd 637. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
d6967896
SP
64 containing large files, generate a large file on output and
65 restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
66 default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
67 it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to
68 Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch,
69 and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
70 useful thoughts.
71
7ae7e2fd
SP
728. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
73 the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
74 assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
75 behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
76 Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.

78Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000)
79=======================================================================
1099d48c 80
bd731171
SP
811. Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
82 in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
83 glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel
84 <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to
85 Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting
86 a fix.
1099d48c
SP
87
882. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be
89 self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This
90 should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and
91 will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
92 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
93
1cd75c4c
SP
943. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory
95 inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this
96 directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison
97 <gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
f1d86882 98
aec13b2a
SP
994. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility
100 to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to
101 be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow
102 when multiple -e options are used.
103
8c363e9a
SP
1045. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument
105 which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path
106 (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann
107 <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug.
108
abc63c56
SP
1096. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that
110 dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB.
111
2c168f5f
SP
1127. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external
113 RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!).
114
6169d840
SP
1158. Get the values for the default tape device and the location
116 of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to
117 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
118
51b01afe
SP
1199. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems
120 present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present
121 the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks
122 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
123
4f4eee3d
SP
12410. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the
125 default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will
126 override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
127 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
128
95cd8801
SP
12911. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label.
130 Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option)
131 will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
132 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.

SP
134Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000)
135=====================================================================
f1d86882
SP
136
1371. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17)
138 which was causing several strange dump failures (dump
139 hanged or segmentation faults etc).
ddf0df5b 140
65bceb9b
SP
1412. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page.
142
57b19d7f
SP
1433. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout
144 instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors
145 or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell
146 <satwell@urbana.css.mot.com> for the suggestion.
147
4f94452b
SP
1484. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented
149 dumping a directory having a 1 character name length.
150 Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de>
151 for reporting the bug.
152
79e31865
SP
1535. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no
154 -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document
155 this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
156 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
157
9be511dc
SP
1586. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused
159 in some conditions hard links to be restored several
160 times (therefore generation some warning messages).
161 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for
162 reporting the bug.
163
3e815572 1647. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version,
1d568d1b 165 providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes.
1099d48c 166 You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM.
1d568d1b 167
3e815572
SP
1688. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap
169 before checking for libreadline, because we need this
170 library in order to compile the readline support.
171
8954518f
SP
1729. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation
173 both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that
174 you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use
175 these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
176 for providing the patch.
177
8cca05cc
SP
178Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000)
179===================================================================
ddf0df5b
SP
180
1811. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks
182 to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting
183 the bug.
30a43325 184
64bb207a
SP
1852. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented
186 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks
187 to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net>
188 for the bug report.
189
d572dbfd
SP
1903. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to
191 be more stable against some attacks (like the last one
192 reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore
193 was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to
194 Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting
195 the bugs to me.
196
882090d1
SP
1974. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the
198 default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer
199 now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order
200 to make network backups should read first the man page
201 of dump and enable the suid bit manually.
202
5e04cc92
SP
2035. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore
204 when using readline support, in order to make the compile
205 process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to
206 Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
207
ac443b63 208Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000)
30a43325
SP
209====================================================================
210
2111. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape,
49023a9d 212 not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul
30a43325
SP
213 <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report.
214
d8574d45
SP
215 Normally, the device name and the current volume number
216 are passed on the command line of the script. However,
217 if you want the old style script (with no arguments
218 passed on the command line), you can enable it in
219 configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript.
220
30a43325
SP
2212. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality
222 with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for
223 the patch.
d65ed175 224
3d78f5f2
SP
2253. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare
226 command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status
227 of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors,
d8574d45
SP
228 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter
229 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
3d78f5f2 230
d8574d45 2314. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore.
386d48c0 232
a110deb5 2335. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a
d8574d45
SP
234 really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman
235 <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report.
a110deb5 236
c38e5b6a
SP
2376. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore.
238 Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature.
d8574d45
SP
239 Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the
240 suggestion.
241
2427. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will
243 allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when
244 ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
245 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
c38e5b6a 246
107a347c
SP
247Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000)
248====================================================================
d65ed175
SP
249
2501. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the
251 output of dump.
d3393043 252
cbc94239
SP
2532. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that
254 this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due
255 to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape
256 (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory,
257 which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null
258 character at the end).
259
2603. Made dump report the total number of MB written to
261 tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley
262 <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch.
263
08db2b86
SP
2644. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility
265 to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed
1a05d45d
SP
266 from a text file (in addition of the command line).
267 Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the
268 patch.
08db2b86 269
365a7c7c
SP
2705. Added the device name and the current volume number
271 as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option).
272
24ea1fb9
SP
2736. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having
274 broken it in 0.4b15).
275
2f7e72ce
SP
276Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000)
277===================================================================
d3393043
SP
278
2791. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks
280 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch.
d6f78b13 281
92a9bf12
SP
2822. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by
283 not checking the size of the filesystem parameter).
284 Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for
285 reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users
286 who forwarded me his mail).
287
0d7af9c5
SP
2883. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to
289 launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used
290 with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by
291 pager etc.).
292
2934. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes
294 I made in 0.4b14.
295
2965. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax
297 in both dump and restore.
298
688653ea
SP
299Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000)
300=======================================================================
d6f78b13
SP
301
3021. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted
303 directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the
304 mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead
305 to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways).
306 Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this
307 bug and submitting the patch.
ae58c8da 308
a2c9bd28
SP
3092. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A
310 '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped,
311 but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory
312 to be dumped (generally an empty directory).
313
3143. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory
315 it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree).
316
20c345aa
SP
3174. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to
318 Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch.
319
d8476fa5
SP
3205. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide
321 on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore.
322
c60338a5
SP
3236. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode
324 having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to
325 Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch.
326
8eb05297
SP
3277. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little
328 endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian
329 machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the
330 compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian
331 machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in
332 linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD,
333 Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible,
334 so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak
335 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and
336 helping me test the fix.
337
3388. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if
339 the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated
340 number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt
341 <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug.
342

343Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000)
344======================================================================
2f9a0c5c
SP
345
3461. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
347 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug.
348
6dda05e4
SP
3492. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the
350 spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
351 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this.
352
8d957ae7 3533. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs,
f346e363
SP
354 causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems.
355 Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for
356 helping me find this bug.
357
8d957ae7 3584. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access
b80c25f8
SP
359 the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
360 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch.
361
8d957ae7
SP
3625. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display
363 garbage characters instead of the remote host name.
364
2f9a0c5c 365Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000)
df172bbb 366=====================================================================
ae58c8da
SP
367
3681. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk
369 <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch.
2ed89fda 370
a29c23cc
SP
3712. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of
372 dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for
373 submitting the patch.
374
2e682895
SP
3753. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing
376 dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen
377 <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch.
378
3794. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates.
380 (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for
381 tracking down the problem and proposing the solution.
382
3835. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the
384 dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already
385 having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler
386 <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
387
3886. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate
389 from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible
390 with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for
391 amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III
392 <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug.
393
0d0bc326
SP
3947. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format.
395 Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the
396 other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with
397 older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor
398 <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug.

2ed89fda
SP
401======================================================================
402
4031. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
5c1faba5 404
144a6db1 4052. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
5c729713 406 that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar
144a6db1
SP
407 to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
408 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
409
677ee424
SP
4103. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables
411 dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2
412 partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB
413 file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and
414 the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With
415 the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without
416 asking to enter a new tape each time.
417
7fbb9b02 4184. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big
a29c23cc
SP
419 (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason
420 Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug.

4251. Make configure test if the system glob routines support
426 extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
a95c4c36
SP
427 routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
428 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
429 and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
430 glitches.

4322. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
433 feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti
434 <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
435 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch.
436

SP
4373. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which
438 has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its
439 contents.
440
c930abff
SP
4414. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
442 which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this
443 is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3
444 filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the
445 NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and
446 it is dumped (it should not).
447
4485. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order
449 to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features.

451Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999)
452====================================================================
453
4541. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem
455 when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
456 to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
457 Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
458 this and providing the patch.

df9ae507
SP
4631. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so
464 one can use 'ident' on binary files.
465
4662. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can
467 easily verify the version he is using.

SP
4693. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes
470 a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start
471 va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function).
472
fa58b58d
SP
4734. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not
474 contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr>
475 for submitting the bug report.
476
f34aca37
SP
4775. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs
478 this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems.
479
4806. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to
0c62667d
SP
481 use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and
482 bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
483 backups without being root (or making dump setuid root).
484
f34aca37 4857. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps,
60f5ede9
SP
486 we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option.
487 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how
488 this should work.

490Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999)
491===================================================================
492
4931. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
494 was not compiled in.
495
4962. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
497 to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
498
4993. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
500 file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
501 flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
502 should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
503 by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
504
5054. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
506 (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>).
507
5085. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
509 unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
510 which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
511
5126. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
513
5147. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
515 when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
516 dump).
517
5188. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a
519 dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
520 one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the
521 compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob
522 worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system
523 DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
524
5259. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
526 the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is
527 /etc/dumpdates.
528
52910. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and
530 included the current date/version in man pages.
531
53211. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
533 the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
534 was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
535 that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
536 the results canceled each other...

540
5411. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
542
543 - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
544 isn't specified.
545 - several fixes in the man pages.
546 - update the default tape device to /dev/st0.
547 - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc).
548 - buffer overruns.
549 - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp).
550 - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260).
551 - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989).
552 - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's.
553
8d4197bb
SP
5542. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems
555 made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break...
ddd2ef55 556
8d4197bb
SP
5573. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
558
5594. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
ddd2ef55
SP
560 routines (only if available).
561
8d4197bb
SP
5625. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided
563 by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>).
564
565Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999)
566======================================================================
b45f51d6
SP
567
5681. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE
569 (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic
570 tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now
571 (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and
572 RMT etc.).
573
5742. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
575
5763. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes
577 tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors
578 when comparing).
579
5804. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
581 This works for me, needs further testing.

587 Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
588
589Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
590========================================
591
5921. Use realpath() if available
593
5942. Report statistics
595
596Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
597========================================
598
5991. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
600 the patch)
601
6022. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
603
6043. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
605
606Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
607======================================
608
6091. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
610
6112. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
612
6133. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
614
6154. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This
616 should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
617
6185. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
619 distribution's one) to use autoconf
620
6216. Fixed a few minor bugs
622
623Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
624======================================
625
6261. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
627
6282. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
629
6303. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
631 patch for 1.2.x kernels.
632
6334. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
634 not restored.
635
6365. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
637
6386. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
639 correctly files ending by a hole.
640
641Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
642======================================
643
6441. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored
645 with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0).
646
647Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
648======================================
649
6501. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
651
6522. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
653
654Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
655======================================
656
6571. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
658
659Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
660======================================
661
6621. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
663
6642. Enabled optimization again.
665
666Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
667=====================================
668
6691. Disabled the optimization during compilation.
670
671Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
672====================================
673
6741. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in
675 the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it
676 use the mntent functions).
677
6782. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups
679 made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made
680 by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this
681 means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version
682 0.2 :-(
683
6843. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
685 filesystems like the BSD version.
686
6874. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
688 than 2 GB.
689
690Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
691====================================
692
6931. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
694
6952. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
696
6973. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
698 incremental backups.
699
7004. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
