-Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released ??????????????)
-====================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released ?????????????????)
+=======================================================================
+
+1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths.
+ Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for
+ reporting the bug.
+
+2. Fixed the configure script to only check for headers presence
+ instead of trying to compile them. This should fix issues
+ with old build environments. Thanks to Kari Lempiainen
+ <kari@funky.pp.fi> for reporting the bug.
+
+3. Fixed restore to correctly ignore sockets when comparing
+ a dump (as socket cannot be properly restored anyway). Thanks
+ to Gunther Reiszig <gunther@mit.edu> for reporting the bug.
+
+4. Fixed restore to correctly access the archive file (-A argument)
+ even when using a remote tape. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet
+ <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug.
+
+5. Fixed (again) handling of long (largefile) seeks in rmt.
+ Thanks to Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting
+ the bug.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b32 and 0.4b33 (released February 10, 2003)
+=======================================================================
+
+1. Added a note in the restore man page clarifying the question
+ 'set the permissions on the current directory ?' asked by
+ restore at the end of treatment in -i and -x modes.
+
+2. Fixed the endianess issues when reading compressed tapes.
+ Thanks to Dark Force <daq4th@users.sourceforge.net> for
+ reporting this bug and providing test cases.
+
+3. Fixed the "ACL won't be dumped" warning message (which showed
+ an extra, unrelated error message). Thanks to Dragan Krnic
+ <dkrnic@lycos.com> for reporting this bug.
+
+4. Made dump look first into /etc/mtab, then into /etc/fstab
+ when searching for filesystem paths. Also fixed some problems
+ caused by binding mounts or multiple block device mounts.
+ Thanks to Matus Uhlar <uhlar@fantomas.sk>, Elliott Mitchell
+ <ehem@m5p.com>, Greg Edwards <gedwards@users.sourceforge.net>,
+ Brian Hoy <brian.hoy@opus.co.nz>. (fixes Debian bugs #147086
+ and #160305, Sourceforge bugs #618699 and #679832).
+
+5. Made dump's -I option accept the value '0' meaning all the
+ read errors will be ignored. This can be useful when running
+ dump from unattended sessions (like cron jobs). Thanks to
+ John I Wang <jiwang@users.sourceforge.net> for the suggestion.
+
+6. Fixed the output of dump to indicate 'blocks' instead of
+ 'tape blocks' in the various messages (blocks are always
+ 1 Kilobyte, tape blocks are 1 BK * '-b' argument), and
+ made it clearly print the current blocksize at the start of
+ a dump. Thanks to Michal Szymanski <msz@astrouw.edu.pl> for
+ the suggestions.
+
+7. Made rmt understand long (largefiles) seeks.
+
+8. Fixed build with very old versions of libext2fs, where
+ EXT2_FT_* constants were undefined.
+
+9. Made dump accept the dumpdates path on the command line
+ (-D file option) instead of using only the hardcoded one.
+ Thanks to Piete Brooks <pb22@users.sourceforge.net> for the
+ suggestion.
+
+10. Enabled rmt, LFS, readline, QFA options by default in
+ ./configure. Updated the configure process (new versions
+ of config.guess, config.sub etc).
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released November 15, 2002)
+=======================================================================
+
+1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead
+ of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old
+ locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the
+ dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack
+ on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new
+ scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file.
+ Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for
+ reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post).
+
+2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings
+ about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling
+ <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this
+ bug.
+
+3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes.
+
+4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB
+ (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs
+ this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp
+ <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this.
+
+5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an
+ inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount
+ of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin
+ <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug.
+
+6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases,
+ to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP
+ directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks
+ to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for reporting this bug and
+ providing the test cases.
+
+7. Changed the wording when inodes are excluded from dump:
+ replaced 'Added inode 7 to exclude list' with
+ 'Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump', as suggested
+ by Elliott Mitchell <ehem@m5p.com> in a Debian bug report.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002)
+===================================================================
+
+1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over
+ rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi
+ <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002)
+===================================================================
+
+1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read
+ error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command,
+ in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this
+ usage in dump's man page.
+
+2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big
+ endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was
+ contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>.
+
+3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes
+ and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold
+ <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based
+ on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD
+ media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to
+ Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts.
+
+5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved
+ by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD
+ inode format, which means that the tape format was changed.
+ However, since all restore versions out there should
+ transparently support both inode formats, the change should
+ have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for
+ reporting the bug.
+
+6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling
+ with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree
+ <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this.
+
+7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to
+ Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the
+ patch.
+
+8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro
+ package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD
+ format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002)
+==================================================================
1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from
non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem
which caused restore to fail when the inode maps were not entirely
contained on the first volume (when using really small volumes or
when dumping a huge number of inodes).
-
+
+3. Fixed a problem in dump, where files in subdirectories of directories
+ that have the nodump flag set (or being excluded with -e/-E) were
+ sometimes incorrectly dumped (instead of being excluded). The original
+ fix is from David C Lawrence <tale@dd.org> in the FreeBSD version
+ of dump: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=32414
+ Thanks to Ted Grzesik <tedgyz@roostme.com> for reporting the bug and
+ help testing the patch.
+
+4. Added some example scripts from Gerd Bavendiek <bav@epost.de>
+ which makes one able to pipe the output of dump, by the net, to
+ a remote CD-burner server.
+
+5. Made dump use O_CREAT|O_TRUNC both locally and remotely (over rmt),
+ and use GNU's symbolic syntax over rmt instead of numerical values
+ to assure multiple platform compatibility.
+
+6. Documented the -d option in restore.
+
+7. Added a -v (verbose) mode to dump. For now it just prints the number
+ of the inode being dumped, but this could evolve in future versions
+ to include interesting debugging output.
+
+8. Added a -o flag to restore, which automatically restores the current
+ directory permissions in -i or -x mode, without asking the operator
+ whether to do so. Patch submitted by Tony Clayton <tonyc@e-smith.com>
+ and Peter Samuel <peters@e-smith.com>.
