-Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released ??????????????)
-====================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002)
+===================================================================
+
+1.     Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read
+       error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command,
+       in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this 
+       usage in dump's man page.
+
+2.     Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big
+       endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was
+       contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>.
+
+3.     Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes
+       and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold 
+       <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+4.     Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based
+       on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD
+       media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to
+       Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts.
+
+5.     Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved
+       by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD 
+       inode format, which means that the tape format was changed.
+       However, since all restore versions out there should 
+       transparently support both inode formats, the change should
+       have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for
+       reporting the bug.
+
+6.     Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling
+       with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree 
+       <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this.
+
+7.     Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to
+       Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the
+       patch.
+
+8.     Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro
+       package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD
+       format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify.

 1.     Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from
        non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem

+8.     Added a -o flag to restore, which automatically restores the current
