version...). Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
reporting the build failures.
+4. Fixed a performance problem with the QFA file creation in
+ dump, which made unnecessary seeks on the tape slowing down
+ the dump. Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
+ reporting this issue.
+
+5. Removed the inclusion of some kernel headers in the dump
+ source, which prevented the compile in some kernel/glibc
+ headers/architecture combination. Thanks to Bdale Garbee
+ <bdale@gag.com> for reporting the bug.
+
+6. Added the appropriate error message when dump fails to
+ open the output file for writing. Thanks to Amith Varghese
+ <amithv@yahoo.com> for reporting this bug.
+
+7. Made restore able to understand large Solaris ufsdump tapes
+ (containing inodes bigger than 4194304). Sun have introduced
+ an "extension" to the dump tape format when dealing with
+ those inodes, which was uncorrectly handled by Linux restore.
+ Thanks to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> for reporting the bug and
+ providing a test case.
+
+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.
