 Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released ???????????????)
 ===================================================================
 
-1.     Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files.
+1.     Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so
+       one can use 'ident' on binary files.
+
+2.     Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can
+       easily verify the version he is using.
+
+3.     Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes
+       a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start
+       va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function).
+
+4.     Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not
+       contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr>
+       for submitting the bug report.
+
+5.     Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to
+       use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and
+       bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
+       backups without being root (or making dump setuid root).
