+1.     Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from
+       non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem
+       (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at
+       ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to
+       Jörg Schilling <schilling@fokus.gmd.de> for reporting this bug and
+       providing an excellent, cross-platform replacement for rmt in his
+       star package.
+
+2.     Fixed a bug reported by Andy Mentges <amentges@jumpline.com>
+       which caused restore to fail when the inode maps were not entirely
+       contained on the first volume (when using really small volumes or
+       when dumping a huge number of inodes).
+
+3.     Fixed a problem in dump, where files in subdirectories of directories 
+       that have the nodump flag set (or being excluded with -e/-E) were 
+       sometimes incorrectly dumped (instead of being excluded). The original
+       fix is from David C Lawrence <tale@dd.org> in the FreeBSD version 
+       of dump: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=32414
+       Thanks to Ted Grzesik <tedgyz@roostme.com> for reporting the bug and 
+       help testing the patch.

+8.     Added the -m parameter to dump which optimises the output for
+       inodes having been changed but not modified since the last dump
+       ('changed' and 'modified' have the meaning defined in stat(2)).
+       For those inodes, dump will save only the metadata, instead of
+       saving the entire inode contents. Inodes which are either 
+       directories or have been modified since the last dump are saved
+       in a regular way.  Uses of this flag must be consistent, meaning
+       that either every dump in an incremental dump set have the flag,
+       or no one has it.
