-Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released ?????????????????)
+Changes between versions 0.4b35 and 0.4b36 (released April 21, 2004)
+====================================================================
+
+1. Fixed dump compilation with old gcc versions. Thanks to
+ Mike Castle <dalgoda@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch.
+
+2. Fixed some warnings (howmany, roundup, powerof2 redefined)
+ when compiling against a recent glibc version.
+
+3. Fixed a bug in restore preventing the read of a dump tape
+ written with Solaris 7 ufsdump. Thanks to Patrick Higgins
+ <phiggins@transzap.com> for reporting the bug and providing
+ the test case.
+
+4. Changed dump to enable the creation of volumes of different
+ sizes in a single run (make -B accept a list of values).
+ Patch contributed by Florian Zumbiehl <florz@gmx.de>.
+
+5. Use the glibc provided minor() and major() macros instead
+ of our own bitmask implementation. This should be safe for
+ when the major/minor namespace will migrate to 32 bits.
+ Thanks to Zhang Jun <zhangjun@nanjing-fnst.com> for reporting
+ the bug.
+
+6. Made explicit in the dump man page that dump will not create
+ a remote file, it will only write to an already existing one.
+
+7. Another try at making size estimates better again.
+
+8. Put back the inconditional running of the end-of-tape
+ script which was changed in 0.434 to be run only when -M
+ 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,
+ debugging the issue and making the patch.
+
+10. Made restore understand FreeBSD UFS2 tapes. Thanks to
+ David <vrtin@users.sourceforge.net> for submitting the bug
+ and providing a test case.
+
+11. Made dump work with an arbitrary integer level (no more 10
+ levels only limitation). Thanks to Matthew
+ <msvincen@midway.uchicago.edu> for the patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b34 and 0.4b35 (released December 21, 2003)
=======================================================================
+1. Added a note in the dump man page saying that the default
+ blocksize can be 32 if -d is used with a high density argument.
+ Thanks to Antonios Christofides <A.Christofides@itia.ntua.gr>
+ for the patch.
+
+2. Fixed configure to correctly understand CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS,
+ LDFLAGS environment variables. Thanks to Arcady Genkin
+ <antipode@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+3. Made -e/-E options of dump accept an unlimited number of inodes
+ to be excluded, rather than a hardcoded maximum. Thanks to
+ Dietrich Rothe <d-rothe@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch.
+
+4. Updated the autoconf system to 2.50. Forced the -D_BSD_SOURCE
+ and -D_USE_BSD_SIGNAL defines in configure in order to solve
+ 64bit build problems because quad_t is redifined with a
+ different signature. Thanks to Mike Harris <mharris@redhat.com>
+ for reporting this bug.
+
+5. Made restore build on Solaris, making possible to
+ restore Linux's "enhanced" tapes. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke
+ <uwe@ugsoft.de> for the patch.
+
+6. Made an extension in the dump tape format capable of saving
+ MacOSX specific inode extensions. Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>
+ wrote the extension and contributed the restore code back
+ into this codebase. The same extension mechanism will be
+ used in the future to save ACLs...
+
+7. Made rmt work correctly with regard to QFA and local/remote
+ files and tapes. The remote access will however work only
+ when the dump provided rmt version is used. If you want to
+ use another rmt server, please do not use the QFA feature.
+ Thanks to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> for the patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released April 18, 2003)
+====================================================================
+
1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths.
Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for
reporting the bug.
(-f tape0,tape1,tapen) (which also makes sense).
Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
+15. Relicensed dump/restore under the 'revised' BSD license, as per
+ ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change.
+
+16. Added LZO compression to dump. This new compression method has
+ the advantage of being super fast, thus not killing tape streaming
+ on slow machines. Thanks to Helmut Jarausch
+ <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de> for the patch and to
+ Markus Oberhumer <markus@oberhumer.com> for giving special permission
+ to include his miniLZO project (GPL licensed) in dump/restore.
+
+17. Some small buffer overruns fixes in rmt. Thanks to Antonomasia
+ <ant@notatla.demon.co.uk> for reporting the bugs.
+
+18. Added a special rmt version which can do encryption when writing
+ to tape. Read examples/encrypted_rmt/README for details on
+ how to enable and configure it. Thanks to Ken Lalonde
+ <ken@globalremit.com> for the patch.
+
+19. Made dump work with 2.5 kernel end of tape early warning semantics.
+ Thanks to Kai Makisara <Kai.Makisara@kolumbus.fi> for the patch.
+
+20. Fixed a bug which caused dump -w|-W not to work anymore, because
+ the fs_freq and fs_passno fields in /etc/mtab are always set
+ to 0 0. Thanks to Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> for
+ reporting the bug.
+
