+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>.

 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>.
