-Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released ????????????????)
+Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 7, 1999)
+=====================================================================
+
+1.     Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk 
+       <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch.
+
+2.     Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of
+       dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for
+       submitting the patch.
+
+3.     Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing
+       dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen
+       <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch.
+
+4.     Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates.
+       (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for
+       tracking down the problem and proposing the solution.
+
+5.     Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the
+       dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already
+       having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler 
+       <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+6.     Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate
+       from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible
+       with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for
+       amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III 
+       <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999)
 ======================================================================
 
 1.     Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
 
+2.     Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
+       that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar
+       to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
+       <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
+
+3.     Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables
+       dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2
+       partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB
+       file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and
+       the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With
+       the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without
+       asking to enter a new tape each time.
+
+4.     Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big
+       (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason 
+       Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug.
