+Changes between versions 0.4b26 and 0.4b27 (released ???????????????)
+=====================================================================
+
+1.     Fixed behaviour of dump when exceeding resource limits
+       (SIGXFSZ treatment).
+
+2.     Added the -L flag to restore to allow the user to specify a 
+       maximal allowed number of miscompares when using restore
+       with the -C option to check the backup.
+
+3.     Detailed the manual entry for the -N option of restore.
+
+4.     Added the -a flag to restore to make able doing unattended
+       restores in -i or -x mode (automatically walks through the
+       multiple dump volumes).
+
+5.     Extended the QFA mode to work with local files and/or
+       remote tapes and files. This way, restore can know in advance
+       the tape number and the offset for the inodes to extract and 
+       can minimize the extraction time by seeking directly to the 
+       good tape/offset.
+
+6.     Added the -A <archive> option to both dump and restore, 
+       which makes dump to archive a dump table-of-contents in
+       the specified file to be used by restore to determine
+       whether a file is in the dump file that is being restored.
+       (the archive file syntax is also compatible with the
+       Solaris ufsdump generated one).
