Changes between versions 0.4b27 and 0.4b28 (released ?????????????????)
=======================================================================
there should be no white space between the option letter and
the -j or -z parameter, thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com>
+3. Made restore work with older versions of the readline library,
+ by checking in configure for several extended symbols. Restore
+ can now be compiled with a readline as old as the 2.0 release
+ (though it may be a good idea to upgrade it to a more recent
+ version...). Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
+ reporting the build failures.
+
+4. Fixed a performance problem with the QFA file creation in
+ dump, which made unnecessary seeks on the tape slowing down
+ the dump. Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
+ reporting this issue.
+
+5. Removed the inclusion of some kernel headers in the dump
+ source, which prevented the compile in some kernel/glibc
+ headers/architecture combination. Thanks to Bdale Garbee
+ <bdale@gag.com> for reporting the bug.
+
+6. Added the appropriate error message when dump fails to
+ open the output file for writing. Thanks to Amith Varghese
+ <amithv@yahoo.com> for reporting this bug.
+
+7. Made restore able to understand large Solaris ufsdump tapes
+ (containing inodes bigger than 4194304). Sun have introduced
+ an "extension" to the dump tape format when dealing with
+ those inodes, which was uncorrectly handled by Linux restore.
+ Thanks to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> for reporting the bug and
+ providing a test case.
