-Changes between versions 0.4b34 and 0.4b35 (released ??????????????)
+Changes between versions 0.4b37 and 0.4b38 (released January 7, 2005)
+=====================================================================
+
+1. Fix a couple of troff syntax bugs in the man pages.
+ Thanks to Eric Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> for the patch.
+
+2. Made restore use either libncurses or libtermcap, depending
+ on which one is available at configure time.
+
+3. Fixed restore negative size display bug when comparing a
+ dump containing files over 2GB. Thanks to Steve Bonds
+ <sbonds@users.sourceforge.net> for the bug report.
+
+4. Do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes
+ (excluded from dump). This will eliminate the 'missing
+ file' warnings when doing 'restore -C'.
+
+5. Fix dump crash when backuping a huge (2TB) filesystem,
+ due to a bogus calculation on the inode map size.
+ Thanks to Kevin B. Haines <K.B.Haines@rl.ac.uk> for
+ submitting the bug and testing the fix.
+
+6. Fix a problem in restore where the final \0 in the symbolic
+ link names could have been lost, generating corrupt filenames.
+ Thanks to Kyle Wilson <kyle.wilson@amd.com> for reporting the
+ bug.
+
+7. Implemented a hash list for the directory names in restore.
+ The linear list used before caused problems in interactive
+ restores when dealing with directories having thousands of
+ entries. Thanks to Brian Ristuccia <bristuccia@starentnetworks.com>
+ for reporting the bug.
+
+8. Improved restore -C, this time including the directory
+ attributes into the comparision.
+
+9. Made restore understand tapes containing EA/ACLs (which will
+ be dumped by the next version of dump). In this version
+ extended attributes on the tape are ignored, for full EA/ACL
+ support wait for the next version or try the experimental EA
+ patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b36 and 0.4b37 (released July 7, 2004)
+==================================================================
+
+1. Added the --enable-staticz configure option which enables
+ dump and restore to be linked with static versions of
+ libz and libbz2 (and dynamic versions of all other libraries).
+ This will make Debian users happy, because libz and libbz2
+ were the only needed libraries living in /usr, all the
+ others live in /lib. In case of system emergency, it is
+ better not to have to rely on an extra filesystem.
+ Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for the suggestion.
+
+2. Fix compilation on (at least the Linux Debian port to) AMD64.
+ (<ext2fs/ext2_types.h> defines some types (__s64 and __u64)
+ that are also defined by <linux/types.h> (<asm/types.h>) and
+ they conflict).
+
+3. Make dump's reading of the dumpdates file a bit more robust,
+ preventing dump from crashing when the dumpdates file has
+ been modified by hand.
+
+4. Fixed some offset calculations in dump code which could
+ lead to "bread lseek errors" on large filesystems. Thanks
+ to Bruce Lowekamp <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for
+ reporting this bug and debugging the issue.
+
+5. Made dump use the blkid library when searching for devices
+ by label or uuid instead of dump's own routines.
+
+6. Corrected a bug in dump where a wrong LABEL=... line in
+ /etc/fstab could prevent dump from dumping unrelated
+ filesystems. Thanks to Bruce Lowekamp
+ <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b35 and 0.4b36 (released April 21, 2004)
====================================================================
+1. Fixed dump compilation with old gcc versions. Thanks to
+ Mike Castle <dalgoda@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch.
+
+2. Fixed some warnings (howmany, roundup, powerof2 redefined)
+ when compiling against a recent glibc version.
+
+3. Fixed a bug in restore preventing the read of a dump tape
+ written with Solaris 7 ufsdump. Thanks to Patrick Higgins
+ <phiggins@transzap.com> for reporting the bug and providing
+ the test case.
+
+4. Changed dump to enable the creation of volumes of different
+ sizes in a single run (make -B accept a list of values).
+ Patch contributed by Florian Zumbiehl <florz@gmx.de>.
+
+5. Use the glibc provided minor() and major() macros instead
+ of our own bitmask implementation. This should be safe for
+ when the major/minor namespace will migrate to 32 bits.
+ Thanks to Zhang Jun <zhangjun@nanjing-fnst.com> for reporting
+ the bug.
+
+6. Made explicit in the dump man page that dump will not create
+ a remote file, it will only write to an already existing one.
+
+7. Another try at making size estimates better again.
+
+8. Put back the inconditional running of the end-of-tape
+ script which was changed in 0.434 to be run only when -M
+ or multiple -f were NOT specified. Some users rely on this
+ feature even when it is combined with -M/-f.
+
+9. Fixed restore when restoring huge backups (where rstdir...
+ temporary files are over 2GB). Thanks to
+ Raphael Jaffey <rjaffey@artic.edu> for reporting this,
+ debugging the issue and making the patch.
+
+10. Made restore understand FreeBSD UFS2 tapes. Thanks to
+ David <vrtin@users.sourceforge.net> for submitting the bug
+ and providing a test case.
+
+11. Made dump work with an arbitrary integer level (no more 10
+ levels only limitation). Thanks to Matthew
+ <msvincen@midway.uchicago.edu> for the patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b34 and 0.4b35 (released December 21, 2003)

1. Added a note in the dump man page saying that the default
blocksize can be 32 if -d is used with a high density argument.

when the dump provided rmt version is used. If you want to
use another rmt server, please do not use the QFA feature.
