-=======================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released ??????????????)
+====================================================================
+
+1.     Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from
+       non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem
+       (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at
+       ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to
+       Jörg Schilling <schilling@fokus.gmd.de> for reporting this bug and
+       providing an excellent, cross-platform replacement for rmt in his
+       star package.
+
+2.     Fixed a bug reported by Andy Mentges <amentges@jumpline.com>
+       which caused restore to fail when the inode maps were not entirely
+       contained on the first volume (when using really small volumes or
+       when dumping a huge number of inodes).
+
+3.     Fixed a problem in dump, where files in subdirectories of directories 
+       that have the nodump flag set (or being excluded with -e/-E) were 
+       sometimes incorrectly dumped (instead of being excluded). The original
+       fix is from David C Lawrence <tale@dd.org> in the FreeBSD version 
+       of dump: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=32414
+       Thanks to Ted Grzesik <tedgyz@roostme.com> for reporting the bug and 
+       help testing the patch.
+
+4.     Added some example scripts from Gerd Bavendiek <bav@epost.de>
+       which makes one able to pipe the output of dump, by the net, to
+       a remote CD-burner server.
+
+5.     Made dump use O_CREAT|O_TRUNC both locally and remotely (over rmt), 
+       and use GNU's symbolic syntax over rmt instead of numerical values
+       to assure multiple platform compatibility.
+
+6.     Documented the -d option in restore.
+
+7.     Added a -v (verbose) mode to dump. For now it just prints the number
+       of the inode being dumped, but this could evolve in future versions
+       to include interesting debugging output.
+
+8.     Added a -o flag to restore, which automatically restores the current
+       directory permissions in -i or -x mode, without asking the operator
+       whether to do so. Patch submitted by Tony Clayton <tonyc@e-smith.com>
+       and Peter Samuel <peters@e-smith.com>.

 1.     Fixed a bug in the QFA feature which could have caused 
        a bad tape positionning on restore (causing extra delays in
