 1.     Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
        Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.

 3.     Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry

+       WARNING: the compression works only on files/pipes and 
+       drives supporting variable block size.
 
        WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are
        incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a
        version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction.
 
+4.     Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit 
+       architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org> for
+       the patch and to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for forwarding
+       it upstream.
+
+5.     Many cleanups (CPP defines, const char warnings, check of
+       ext2fs COMPAT flags, time_t cleanups, added libext2 version
+       in dump usage text) by Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
+
+6.     Made --prefix option work in configure. All the install path
+       are now based on the configure parameters.
+
+7.     Added the Quick File Access mode in dump/restore, contributed
+       by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>. In this mode, dump stores in
+       a file tape position for each inode, and this file is used by 
+       restore (if called with parameter Q and the filename)
+       to directly position the tape at the file restore is currently 
+       working on.  This saves hours when restoring single files from
+       large backups, saves the tapes and the drive's head. Use
+       --enable-qfa option of configure to compile in the QFA support.
+
+8.     Added the possibility to dump several files and directories
+       in a single invocation of dump. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke 
+       <uwe@ugsoft.de> for implementing this option.
+
+9.     Fixed the dumping and restoring of files with holes
+       (files ending with holes didn't get dumped or restored 
+       correctly).
+
+10.    Fixed a socket descriptor leak in dump, which leaved opened
+       3 file descriptors per dump process (and there is one dump
+       process per tape).
+
+11.    Fixed dump large file system support, by explicit use of
+       open64/lseek64/etc functions (explicit use needed because 
+       e2fsprogs libraries don't behave well when compiled with 
+       FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64).
