-Changes between versions 0.4b22 and 0.4b23 (released ????????????)
-==================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b23 and 0.4b24 (released ?????????????)
+===================================================================
+
+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).

+6.     Changed the -B option of dump to limit the size of 
+       _compressed_ output per volume if compression is on.
+       Patch contributed by Helmut Jarausch 
+       <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>. Note however that, since
+       it is impossible to predict the size of the compressed
+       data before doing the compression, the -B limit is a bit
+       conservative.
+
+7.     Fixed a bug in reading the operator typed file/tape path for
+       the next volume in restore.
+
+8.     Implemented a "-F script" option to restore which permits the
+       user to specify a script which will be launched at the
+       beginning of each tape, useful for automatic programming of
+       tape changers for example. See the restore man page for the
+       script parameters and return codes.
+
+9.     Small fix for the QFA routines provided by Uwe Gohlke 
+       <uwe@ugsoft.de>, and some recommendations for QFA uses in
+       the man pages.
+
+10.    Fixed the multivolume restoring where making a mistake
+       to the 'Mount next tape' prompt caused several blocks to
+       be lost.
+
+11.    Enhanced the -e option of dump to take as a parameter a
+       comma separated list of inode numbers.
+
+12.    Added the -E option to dump which specify a file containing
+       inode numbers to exclude from the dump.
+
+13.    Fixed the compressed multi-volume dump + restore.
