        whenever it needs operator attention. It should be
        easier to use dump in scripts with this option.
 
+5.     Detect the use of incompatible options to dump and
+       refuse them (like -a and -B options together).
+
+6.     Added bzip2 compression to dump/restore (use option -j level 
+       to select it). Note that you will need a restore version
+       >= 0.4b24 in order to restore a bzip2 compressed dump.
+       The same warning as for the zlib compression applies:
+       the tape format of a bzip2 dump is not compatible with the
+       original BSD tape format.
+
+7.     Fixed a overflow problem in dump corrupting the dump when
+       very large files were encountered. Thanks to Vladimir Nadvornik 
+       for the bug report.
+
+8.     Added a ioctl(BLKFLSBUF) in dump which should flush the
+       kernel buffer/page cache before starting the dump, helping
+       a bit those who use dump on mounted filesystems. Thanks to
+       John Yu <jky@it.bu.edu> and to Theodore T'so <tytso@mit.edu>
+       for this suggestion.
