-Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released ?????????????????)
-=======================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released ????????????????)
+======================================================================
+
+1. Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
+ Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
+
+2. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes'
+ question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to
+ Graham Reed <greed@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the
+ bug and providing a patch.
+
+3. Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry
+ Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>.
+
+ WARNING: the compression works only on 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.

1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
anything, he is to blame for :-)).
-7. Make dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
+7. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
containing large files, generate a large file on output and
restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
useful thoughts.
+8. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
+ the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
+ assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
+ behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
+ Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.
