+
+1.     Fixed the permissions of a newly created QFA file by dump.
+
+2.     Cleaned up the source of dump (the external variables 
+       definition was a complete mess, making possible to have
+       objects overlap).
+
+3.     Fixed restore to use the full tape volume path when doing
+       a compare (since it changes the working directory to the
+       filesystem being compared in the process).
+
+4.     Added the -q option to dump which makes dump abort 
+       whenever it needs operator attention. It should be
+       easier to use dump in scripts with this option.
+
+5.     Detect the use of incompatible options to dump and
+       refuse them (like -a and -B options together).
+
+6.     Added bzip2 compression to dump/restore (use option -j level 
+       to select it). Note that you will need a restore version
+       >= 0.4b24 in order to restore a bzip2 compressed dump.
+       The same warning as for the zlib compression applies:
+       the tape format of a bzip2 dump is not compatible with the
+       original BSD tape format.

 6.     Changed the -B option of dump to limit the size of 
        _compressed_ output per volume if compression is on.

        the next volume in restore.
