-Changes between versions 0.4b40 and 0.4b41 (released ???????????)
-=================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b42 and 0.4b43 (released ?????????????)
+===================================================================
+
+1. Fix a bug in dump making impossible to handle large toc files
+ (> 2 GB). Thanks to X DUGi <xdugi@users.sourceforge.net> for
+ reporting the bug (Sourceforge bug #2820629)
+
+2. Fix 'restore -x' in multi-volume mode, which caused files being
+ spanned on the first and second volumes to be incorrectly extracted.
+ Thanks to Adam Tkac <atkac@redhat.com> for reporting the bug.
+ (there may be several bug reports about this issue, including
+ Sourceforge bug #2117008, RedHat bugs #232415 and #444958).
+
+3. Remove -lselinux -lsepol from the standard libraries list,
+ they shouldn't be needed if selinux is not enabled in dump
+ (this also fixes a build failure when selinux libraries are
+ not installed).
+
+4. Fix restoration of extended attributes of fifos and device nodes.
+ Thanks to Igor Zhbanov <izh1979@gmail.com> for the bug report.
+
+5. Don't attempt to set extended attributes on files that were not
+ extracted in 'restore -N' mode. Thanks to Jan Görig
+ <jgorig@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b41 and 0.4b42 (released June 18, 2009)
+===================================================================
+
+1. Fix printout of the 'Connection to' message in dump/restore.
+ Thanks to Dale Wiles <dwiles@users.sourceforge.net> for the
+ bug report and its fix.
+
+2. Fix dump -w/-W output for filesystems having the last backup
+ level equal to 0. Thanks to Pascal Bouchareine
+ <kalou@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+3. Enable restore to handle restoring onto a different SELinux
+ policy from the dump. Thanks to Tony Nelson
+ <tony_nelson@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch.
+ (see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189845
+ for details)
+
+4. Fix EA set failures when restoring immutable files. Thanks
+ to Andrew Kroeger for the patch.
+
+5. Fix "mode file too large" errors when restoring huge backups.
+ Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug
+ report.
+
+6. Add the ability to link against libtinfo library if present,
+ instead of libtermcap or libncurses libraries. Thanks to
+ Adam Tkac <atkac@redhat.com> for the patch.
+
+7. When comparing a backup, do not consider to be an error the fact
+ that we encounter files created while dump was in progress.
+ Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug
+ report.
+
+8. Force '-a' to be the default value when running 'restore -C'.
+ Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug
+ report.
+
+9. Many improvements to the 'cron_dump_to_disk' example.
+ Thanks to Aaron S. Hawley <ashawley@users.sourceforge.net> for
+ the patch.
+
+10. Fix the QFA generation when extended attributes are backuped
+ along with the inodes. Prior to this fix, the entries for
+ some inodes may get corrupted (duplicated entries or incorrect
+ ones), making the QFA file unusable for repositionning in
+ restore. Many thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com>
+ for the bug report and the testing of the fix.
+
+11. Fix EA restoration in debug mode (Sourceforge bug #1986216).
+
+12. Stefan Auracher <star7@onlinehome.de> noticed that the Tower
+ of Hanoi backup strategy documented in the man page wasn't
+ actually based on the Tower of Hanoi algorithm. The man page
+ was updated accordingly.
+
+13. Fix missing level information from dump output when using
+ the default level (RedHat bug #493635). Thanks to Adam Tkac
+ <atkac@redhat.com> for the patch.
+
+14. Fix the dump man page to reflect the fact that the default
+ dump level is 0 not 9 (RedHat bug #356121). Thanks to Adam Tkac
+ <atkac@redhat.com> for the patch.
+
+15. Fixed a few spelling errors in the man pages (RedHat bug #489853).
+ Thanks to Adam Tkac <atkac@redhat.com> for the patch.
+
+16. Fixed restore man page and program usage which incorrectly stated
+ that -P and -A were both allowed in the same invocation (RedHat
+ bug #490627). Thanks to Adam Tkac <atkac@redhat.com> for the patch.
+
+17. Use sys_clone under Linux to share I/O contexts between dump
+ processes, thus drastically increasing the performance of dump
+ under CFQ (which is the default I/O scheduler used in a number of
+ distributions). Thanks to Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> for the
+ patch.
+
+18. Add (preliminary) ext4 support - thanks to libext2fs which does
+ all the job for us. Thanks to Gertjan van Wingerde
+ <gwingerde@gmail.com> for the patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b40 and 0.4b41 (released January 2, 2006)
+=====================================================================
1. Fix restore of dumped Access Control Lists. The previous
code for EA works fine, but ACLs needed conversion from the
git.wh0rd.org / dump.git / blobdiff
