-Changes between versions 0.4b35 and 0.4b36 (released ?????????????????)
-=======================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b36 and 0.4b37 (released July 7, 2004)
+==================================================================
+
+1.     Added the --enable-staticz configure option which enables
+       dump and restore to be linked with static versions of
+       libz and libbz2 (and dynamic versions of all other libraries).
+       This will make Debian users happy, because libz and libbz2
+       were the only needed libraries living in /usr, all the
+       others live in /lib. In case of system emergency, it is 
+       better not to have to rely on an extra filesystem.
+       Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for the suggestion.
+
+2.     Fix compilation on (at least the Linux Debian port to) AMD64.
+       (<ext2fs/ext2_types.h> defines some types (__s64 and __u64)
+       that are also defined by <linux/types.h> (<asm/types.h>) and 
+       they conflict).
+
+3.     Make dump's reading of the dumpdates file a bit more robust,
+       preventing dump from crashing when the dumpdates file has
+       been modified by hand.
+
+4.     Fixed some offset calculations in dump code which could 
+       lead to "bread lseek errors" on large filesystems. Thanks
+       to Bruce Lowekamp <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for
+       reporting this bug and debugging the issue.
+
+5.     Made dump use the blkid library when searching for devices
+       by label or uuid instead of dump's own routines.
+
+6.     Corrected a bug in dump where a wrong LABEL=... line in
+       /etc/fstab could prevent dump from dumping unrelated 
+       filesystems. Thanks to Bruce Lowekamp
+       <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.

        or multiple -f were NOT specified. Some users rely on this
        feature even when it is combined with -M/-f.
 
+9.     Fixed restore when restoring huge backups (where rstdir...
+       temporary files are over 2GB). Thanks to 
+       Raphael Jaffey <rjaffey@artic.edu> for reporting this,

+10.    Made restore understand FreeBSD UFS2 tapes. Thanks to

+       and providing a test case.
+
+11.    Made dump work with an arbitrary integer level (no more 10
+       levels only limitation). Thanks to Matthew
