   3 ========================================
   4
   5 1.      Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x
   6         Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
   7
   8 Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
   9 ========================================
  10
  11 1.      Use realpath() if available
  12
  13 2.      Report statistics
  14
  15 Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
  16 ========================================
  17
  18 1.      Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
  19         the patch)
  20
  21 2.      Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
  22
  23 3.      Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
  24
  25 Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
  26 ======================================
  27
  28 1.      Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
  29
  30 2.      Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
  31
  32 3.      Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
  33
  34 4.      Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses.  This
  35         should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
  36
  37 5.      Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
  38         distribution's one) to use autoconf
  39
  40 6.      Fixed a few minor bugs
  41
  42 Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
  43 ======================================
  44
  45 1.      Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
  46
  47 2.      Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
  48
  49 3.      Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
  50         patch for 1.2.x kernels.
  51
  52 4.      Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
  53         not restored.
  54
  55 5.      Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
  56
  57 6.      Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
  58         correctly files ending by a hole.
  59
  60 Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
  61 ======================================
  62
  63 1.      Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process.  Every file was restored
  64         with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0).
  65
  66 Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
  67 ======================================
  68
  69 1.      Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
  70
  71 2.      Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
  72
  73 Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
  74 ======================================
  75
  76 1.      Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
  77
  78 Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
  79 ======================================
  80
  81 1.      Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
  82
  83 2.      Enabled optimization again.
  84
  85 Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
  86 =====================================
  87
  88 1.      Disabled the optimization during compilation.
  89
  90 Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
  91 ====================================
  92
  93 1.      Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in
  94         the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it
  95         use the mntent functions).
  96
  97 2.      Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format.  Backups
  98         made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made
  99         by the BSD dump should be readable by restore.  Unfortunately, this
 100         means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version
 101         0.2 :-(
 102
 103 3.      Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
 104         filesystems like the BSD version.
 105
 106 4.      Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
 107         than 2 GB.
 108
 109 Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
 110 ====================================
 111
 112 1.      Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
 113
 114 2.      Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
 115
 116 3.      Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
 117         incremental backups.
 118
 119 4.      Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
