-Changes between versions 0.4b38 and 0.4b39 (released ???????????????)
+Changes between versions 0.4b40 and 0.4b41 (released January 2, 2005)
 =====================================================================
 
+1.     Fix restore of dumped Access Control Lists. The previous
+       code for EA works fine, but ACLs needed conversion from the
+       ext2/3 disk format to posix_acl format before restoring.
+
+2.     Fix some issues with restoration of EA on big endian
+       platforms.
+
+3.     Fix restore when the symtab is over 2GB in size.
+
+4.     Made the directory hash indexing an optional feature,
+       accessible by the '-H' option of restore, and disable it
+       by default.
+
+5.     Fixed dump to not include extended attributes information
+       in the toc (archive) file which confused restore -t.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b39 and 0.4b40 (released May 2, 2005)
+=================================================================
+
+1.     Changed restore to emit warnings (instead of emitting a fatal
+       error) if a file (or a directory) is unavailable for a 
+       comparision (if the user doesn't have the necessary permissions
+       to access it for example). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
+       <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug report.
+
+2.     Re-done the 'do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes
+       (excluded from dump)' feature. The previous implementation
+       worked well for excluded directories but not for regular files.
+       Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug
+       report.
+
+3.     Fixed a bug in dump where the tape size was miscalculated when
+       the user used -d/-s to specify the tape characteristics. Thanks
+       to Philip Goisman <goisman@physics.arizona.edu> for reporting
+       the bug.
+
+4.     Fixed another bug introduced in restore with the hashtree
+       implementation. This one caused restore to stop saying
+       "removenode: non-empty directory" in some cases.
+
+5.     Added support for dumping and restoring ext2/3 extended
+       attributes (EA), like the access control lists (ACL) or
+       the security labels used by SELinux.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b38 and 0.4b39 (released January 21, 2005)
+======================================================================
+
 1.     The newly added dump_on_cd_3 example was buggy, replace it
        with an updated version from Andrew Basterfield
        <bob@cemetery.homeunix.org>.
