+Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released ????????????????)
+======================================================================
+
+1.     Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
+
+2.     Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
+       that is needed to perform the dump without actually doint it, similar
+       to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
+       <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999)
+======================================================================
+
+1.     Make configure test if the system glob routines support 
+       extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
+       routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski 
+       <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
+       and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
+       glitches.
+
+2.     Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
+       feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti 
+       <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
+       Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch.
+
+3.     Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which
+       has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its
+       contents.
+
+4.     Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
+       which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this
+       is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3
+       filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the
+       NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and
+       it is dumped (it should not). 
+
+5.     Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order
+       to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999)
+====================================================================
+
+1.     Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem 
+       when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
+       to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
+       Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
+       this and providing the patch.
