-Changes between versions 0.4b23 and 0.4b24 (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.
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!
