-Changes between versions 0.4b37 and 0.4b38 (released ????????????)
-==================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b39 and 0.4b40 (released ????????????????)
+======================================================================
+
+1.     Changed restore to emit warnings (instead of emitting a fatal
+       error) if a file (or a directory) is unavailable for a 
+       comparision (if the user doesn't have the necessary permissions
+       to access it for example). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
+       <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug report.
+
+2.     Re-done the 'do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes
+       (excluded from dump)' feature. The previous implementation
+       worked well for excluded directories but not for regular files.
+       Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug
+       report.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b38 and 0.4b39 (released January 21, 2005)
+======================================================================
+
+1.     The newly added dump_on_cd_3 example was buggy, replace it
+       with an updated version from Andrew Basterfield
+       <bob@cemetery.homeunix.org>.
+
+2.     Made restore to chdir() back into the initial directory when
+       dumping core while aborting a comparision operation. The
+       previous behaviour was to write the corefile at the root of
+       the directory being compared, which could very well be 
+       read only and preventing the corefile generation. Thanks
+       to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug report.
+
+3.     Silenced the failure to call fgetflags() when comparing an
+       entry which has no ext2 attributes (as in lsattr()).
+
+4.     Fix a brown paper bug in restore -C which broke restore and
+       caused modifications on the filesystem being compared
+       (directories containing a file with the same name as the
+       directory get renamed to RSTTMP...). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
+       <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for finding the bug and helping me
+       reproduce it.
+
+5.     Made restore -C force the -N flag (no writing allowed on
+       the disk) in order to prevent more bugs like the above one.

 1.     Fix a couple of troff syntax bugs in the man pages.

        (excluded from dump). This will eliminate the 'missing
        file' warnings when doing 'restore -C'.
 
+5.     Fix dump crash when backuping a huge (2TB) filesystem,
+       due to a bogus calculation on the inode map size.
+       Thanks to Kevin B. Haines <K.B.Haines@rl.ac.uk> for 
+       submitting the bug and testing the fix.
+
+6.     Fix a problem in restore where the final \0 in the symbolic
+       link names could have been lost, generating corrupt filenames.
+       Thanks to Kyle Wilson <kyle.wilson@amd.com> for reporting the
+       bug.
+
+7.     Implemented a hash list for the directory names in restore.
+       The linear list used before caused problems in interactive
+       restores when dealing with directories having thousands of
+       entries. Thanks to Brian Ristuccia <bristuccia@starentnetworks.com>
+       for reporting the bug.
+
+8.     Improved restore -C, this time including the directory
+       attributes into the comparision.
+
+9.     Made restore understand tapes containing EA/ACLs (which will
+       be dumped by the next version of dump). In this version 
+       extended attributes on the tape are ignored, for full EA/ACL
+       support wait for the next version or try the experimental EA
+       patch.
