-Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released ???????????????)
-=====================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released ????????????????)
+======================================================================
+
+1. Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
+ Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
+
+2. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes'
+ question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to
+ Graham Reed <greed@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the
+ bug and providing a patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001)
+======================================================================
+
+1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
+ the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
+ <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one.
+
+2. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs
+ headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users
+ who reported this stupid error.
+
+3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with
+ _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
+ <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.
+
+4. Improved the error detection in restore when creating
+ the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
+ report a 'no space left on device' error instead of
+ strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
+ Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
+ bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
+
+5. Added the throughput information in dump's progression
+ messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
+ for the patch.
+
+6. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
+ robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
+ bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
+ <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
+ the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
+ fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
+ anything, he is to blame for :-)).
+
+7. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
+ containing large files, generate a large file on output and
+ restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
+ default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
+ it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to
+ Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch,
+ and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
+ useful thoughts.
+
+8. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
+ the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
+ assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
+ behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
+ Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000)
+=======================================================================
1. Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison
<gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility
+ to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to
+ be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow
+ when multiple -e options are used.
+
+5. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument
+ which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path
+ (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann
+ <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug.
+
+6. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that
+ dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB.
+
+7. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external
+ RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!).
+
+8. Get the values for the default tape device and the location
+ of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to
+ Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
+
+9. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems
+ present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present
+ the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks
+ to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
+
+10. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the
+ default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will
+ override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
+ <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
+
+11. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label.
+ Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option)
+ will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
+ <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
