-Changes between versions 0.4b26 and 0.4b27 (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.

 1.     Fixed behaviour of dump when exceeding resource limits
        (SIGXFSZ treatment).

+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
