-Changes between versions 0.4b25 and 0.4b26 (released ?????????????????)
+Changes between versions 0.4b27 and 0.4b28 (released ?????????????????)
 =======================================================================
 
+1.     Fixed a bug in the QFA feature which could have caused 
+       a bad tape positionning on restore (causing extra delays in
+       restore). Credits go to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
+
+2.     Added a small note in the dump man page specifying that
+       there should be no white space between the option letter and
+       the -j or -z parameter, thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com>
+
+3.     Made restore work with older versions of the readline library,
+       by checking in configure for several extended symbols. Restore
+       can now be compiled with a readline as old as the 2.0 release
+       (though it may be a good idea to upgrade it to a more recent
+       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.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b26 and 0.4b27 (released February 15, 2002)
+=======================================================================
+
+1.     Fixed behaviour of dump when exceeding resource limits
+       (SIGXFSZ treatment).
+
+2.     Added the -L flag to restore to allow the user to specify a 
+       maximal allowed number of miscompares when using restore
+       with the -C option to check the backup.
+
+3.     Detailed the manual entry for the -N option of restore.
+
+4.     Added the -a flag to restore to make able doing unattended
+       restores in -i or -x mode (automatically walks through the
+       multiple dump volumes).
+
+5.     Extended the QFA mode to work with local files and/or
+       remote tapes and files. This way, restore can know in advance
+       the tape number and the offset for the inodes to extract and 
+       can minimize the extraction time by seeking directly to the 
+       good tape/offset.
+
+6.     Added the -A <archive> option to both dump and restore, 
+       which makes dump to archive a dump table-of-contents in
+       the specified file to be used by restore to determine
+       whether a file is in the dump file that is being restored.
+       (the archive file syntax is also compatible with the
+       Solaris ufsdump generated one).
+
+7.     Small fix in restore making it able to read some (broken ?)
+       Solaris ufsdump tapes.
+
+8.     Fixed dump to correctly recognise the root filesystem when using
+       ext2 disk labels (LABEL=/). Thanks to John Yu <jky@it.bu.edu>
+       for reporting this bug.
+
+9.     Added the -P <file> option to restore to create a
+       Quick File Access file from an already made dump. Patch 
+       contributed by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
+
+10.    Made restore compile and run on Solaris, making it a 
+       possible replacement for the standard ufsrestore. Port was
+       contributed by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b25 and 0.4b26 (released January 7, 2002)
+=====================================================================

 1.     Added a set of backup scripts from Eugenio Diaz
        <getnito@yahoo.com> in the examples section. It features
        automatic (cron based) full and incremental dumping of
