   1 Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6
   2 ========================================
   3
   4 1.      Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
   5
   6         - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
   7           isn't specified.
   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).
  11         - buffer overruns.
  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.
  16
  17 2.      Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
  18
  19 3.      Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
  20         routines (only if available).
  21
  22 Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5
  23 ========================================
  24
  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
  29         RMT etc.).
  30
  31 2.      Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
  32
  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
  35         when comparing).
  36
  37 4.      Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
  38         This works for me, needs further testing.
  39
  40 Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4
  41 ========================================
  42
  43 1.      Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x
  44         Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
  45
  46 Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
  47 ========================================
  48
  49 1.      Use realpath() if available
  50
  51 2.      Report statistics
  52
  53 Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
  54 ========================================
  55
  56 1.      Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
  57         the patch)
  58
  59 2.      Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
  60
  61 3.      Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
  62
  63 Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
  64 ======================================
  65
  66 1.      Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
  67
  68 2.      Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
  69
  70 3.      Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
  71
  72 4.      Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses.  This
  73         should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
  74
  75 5.      Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
  76         distribution's one) to use autoconf
  77
  78 6.      Fixed a few minor bugs
  79
  80 Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
  81 ======================================
  82
  83 1.      Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
  84
  85 2.      Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
  86
  87 3.      Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
  88         patch for 1.2.x kernels.
  89
  90 4.      Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
  91         not restored.
  92
  93 5.      Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
  94
  95 6.      Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
  96         correctly files ending by a hole.
  97
  98 Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
  99 ======================================
 100
 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).
 103
 104 Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
 105 ======================================
 106
 107 1.      Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
 108
 109 2.      Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
 110
 111 Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
 112 ======================================
 113
 114 1.      Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
 115
 116 Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
 117 ======================================
 118
 119 1.      Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
 120
 121 2.      Enabled optimization again.
 122
 123 Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
 124 =====================================
 125
 126 1.      Disabled the optimization during compilation.
 127
 128 Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
 129 ====================================
 130
 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).
 134
 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
 139         0.2 :-(
 140
 141 3.      Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
 142         filesystems like the BSD version.
 143
 144 4.      Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
 145         than 2 GB.
 146
 147 Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
 148 ====================================
 149
 150 1.      Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
 151
 152 2.      Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
 153
 154 3.      Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
 155         incremental backups.
 156
 157 4.      Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
