-Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released ???????????????)
-=====================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000)
+=======================================================================
 
-1.     Added a configure option to search for sa_sigaction member
-       of the struct sigaction. This should fix the compile on
-       libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel <schlegel@riege.de>
-        for reporting the bug.
+1.     Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
+       in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
+       glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel 
+       <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to
+       Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting
+       a fix.
 
 2.     Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be 
        self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This

        will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
        <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
 
+3.     The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory
+       inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this 
+       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.
