 1.     Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
        the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger

        _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
        <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.
 
+4.     Improved the error detection in restore when creating
+       the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
+       report a 'no space left on device' error instead of 
+       strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
+       Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
+       bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
+
+5.     Added the throughput information in dump's progression
+       messages.  Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> 
+       for the patch.
+
+6.     Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
+       robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
+       bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
+       <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
+       the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
+       fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
+       anything, he is to blame for :-)).
+
+7.     Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
+       containing large files, generate a large file on output and
+       restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
+       default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
+       it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to
+       Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch,
+       and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
+       useful thoughts.
+
+8.     Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
+       the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
+       assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
+       behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
+       Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.
