-Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6
-========================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999)
+===================================================================
+
+1.     Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
+       was not compiled in.
+
+2.     Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
+       to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
+
+3.     (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
+       file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
+       flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
+       should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
+       by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
+
+4.     Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
+       (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>).
+
+5.     Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
+       unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
+       which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
+
+6.     Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
+
+7.     Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
+       when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
+       dump).
+
+8.     Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a 
+       dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
+       one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the 
+       compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob 
+       worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system 
+       DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
+
+9.     Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
+       the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is 
+       /etc/dumpdates.
+
+10.    Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and 
+       included the current date/version in man pages.
+
+11.    Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
+       the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
+       was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
+       that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
+       the results canceled each other...
