+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
+       several filesystems on a separate filesystem.
+
+2.     Fixed a off-by-one miscalculation which disabled dumping
+       a one letter subdirectory. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann 
+       <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for reporting the bug.
+
+3.     Fixed several restore bugs occuring when trying to
+       restore some missing files on the tape. Thanks to Chris
+       Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for reporting the bug.

 1.     Added a mini howto from Patrick Walsh in the examples

+6.     Add the -l option to restore to specify if, when doing a
+        remote restore, the file used to access the backup is a
+       regular file (the defaults being a tape drive). Restore needs
+       to know this information when reading a remote compressed 
+       dump. Previously, this information was autodetected, but
+       the autodetection code fails (with ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl 
+       for device) when using a non Linux remote box. Thanks to 
+       many users and especially to Eros Albertazzi 
+       <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting this.
+
+7.     Found a workaroung for the dump deadlock problem (3 childs 
+       stuck in pause(), father in read()). The workaround seems
+       to work for me and several beta-testers. If it doesn't work
+       for you, please report back.
+
+8.     Updated the RPM spec file (BuildPrereq, URL etc).
