-Changes between versions 0.4b22 and 0.4b23 (released ????????????)
-==================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b23 and 0.4b24 (released September 12, 2001)
+========================================================================
+
+1.     Fixed the permissions of a newly created QFA file by dump.
+
+2.     Cleaned up the source of dump (the external variables 
+       definition was a complete mess, making possible to have
+       objects overlap).
+
+3.     Fixed restore to use the full tape volume path when doing
+       a compare (since it changes the working directory to the
+       filesystem being compared in the process).
+
+4.     Added the -q option to dump which makes dump abort 
+       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.
+
+9.     Updated the RPM spec file following the RedHat changes 
+       (dynamically linked binaries now in /usr/sbin etc).
+
+10.    Added a patch from Helmut Jarausch <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>
+       which enables restore to recognise multi volume compressed dumps
+       done on CD. Included his scripts for dump (which pipe the dump
+       output directly into cdrecord) and restore. There is now 
+       possible to to backups to CD on the fly!
