-Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released ???????????????)
-=====================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released ??????????????)
+====================================================================
+
+1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape,
+ not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Chris
+ <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report.
+
+2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality
+ with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for
+ the patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000)
+====================================================================
+
+1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the
+ output of dump.
+
+2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that
+ this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due
+ to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape
+ (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory,
+ which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null
+ character at the end).
+
+3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to
+ tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley
+ <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch.
+
+4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility
+ to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed
+ from a text file (in addition of the command line).
+ Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the
+ patch.
+
+5. Added the device name and the current volume number
+ as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option).
+
+6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having
+ broken it in 0.4b15).
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000)
+===================================================================
+
+1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks
+ to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch.
+
+2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by
+ not checking the size of the filesystem parameter).
+ Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for
+ reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users
+ who forwarded me his mail).
+
+3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to
+ launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used
+ with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by
+ pager etc.).
+
+4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes
+ I made in 0.4b14.
+
+5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax
+ in both dump and restore.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000)
+=======================================================================
+
+1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted
+ directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the
+ mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead
+ to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways).
+ Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this
+ bug and submitting the patch.
+
+2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A
+ '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped,
+ but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory
+ to be dumped (generally an empty directory).
+
+3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory
+ it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree).
+
+4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to
+ Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch.
+
+5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide
+ on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore.
+
+6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode
+ having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to
+ Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch.
+
+7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little
+ endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian
+ machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the
+ compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian
+ machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in
+ linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD,
+ Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible,
+ so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak
+ <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and
+ helping me test the fix.
+
+8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if
+ the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated
+ number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt
+ <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000)

1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
<sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug.
spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
<naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this.
-3. Fix a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs,
+3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs,
causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems.
Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for
helping me find this bug.
-4. Fix the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access
+4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access
the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
<naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch.
+5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display
+ garbage characters instead of the remote host name.
