-Changes between versions 0.4b41 and 0.4b42 (released xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
-=====================================================================
+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.
+
+6.     Make the dump man page explicit about ext4 support.
+
+7.     Fix a bug in dump which caused EA entries to be unrecognizable by
+       restore in some corner cases. Add a workaround to restore making
+       it able to properly deal with those corrupted EA entries. Thanks
+       to John Austin <jaustin1@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting
+       the bug.
+
+8.     Fix some issues when restoring a dump which was generated using
+       exclusion patterns (either via -e or via the nodump attribute)
+       (see the Debian bug #574667 for details. Thanks to Frédéric
+       Brière <fbriere@fbriere.net> for the bug report and the associated
+       patch.

 1.     Fix printout of the 'Connection to' message in dump/restore.

        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.
