1 Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6
2 ========================================
4 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
6 - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
8 - several fixes in the man pages.
9 - update the default tape device to /dev/st0.
10 - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc).
12 - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp).
13 - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260).
14 - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989).
15 - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's.
17 2. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
19 3. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
20 routines (only if available).
22 Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5
23 ========================================
25 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE
26 (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic
27 tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now
28 (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and
31 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
33 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes
34 tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors
37 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
38 This works for me, needs further testing.
40 Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4
41 ========================================
43 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x
44 Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
46 Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
47 ========================================
49 1. Use realpath() if available
53 Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
54 ========================================
56 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
59 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
61 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
63 Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
64 ======================================
66 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
68 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
70 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
72 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This
73 should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
75 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
76 distribution's one) to use autoconf
78 6. Fixed a few minor bugs
80 Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
81 ======================================
83 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
85 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
87 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
88 patch for 1.2.x kernels.
90 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
93 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
95 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
96 correctly files ending by a hole.
98 Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
99 ======================================
101 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored
102 with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0).
104 Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
105 ======================================
107 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
109 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
111 Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
112 ======================================
114 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
116 Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
117 ======================================
119 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
121 2. Enabled optimization again.
123 Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
124 =====================================
126 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation.
128 Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
129 ====================================
131 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in
132 the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it
133 use the mntent functions).
135 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups
136 made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made
137 by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this
138 means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version
141 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
142 filesystems like the BSD version.
144 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
147 Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
148 ====================================
150 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
152 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
154 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
157 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
