+1.     Make configure test if the system glob routines support 
+       extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
+       routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski 
+       <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
+       and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
+       glitches.

+====================================================================
+
+1.     Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem 
+       when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
+       to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
+       Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
+       this and providing the patch.

 1.     Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so
        one can use 'ident' on binary files.

        contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr>
        for submitting the bug report.
 
+5.     Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs
+       this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems.
+
+6.     Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to
+       use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and
+       bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
+       backups without being root (or making dump setuid root).
+
+7.     Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps,
+       we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option.
+       Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how
+       this should work.
