+Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released ?????????????)
+===================================================================
+
+1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead
+ of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old
+ locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the
+ dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack
+ on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new
+ scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file.
+ Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for
+ reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post).
+
+2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings
+ about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling
+ <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this
+ bug.
+
+3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes.
+
+4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB
+ (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs
+ this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp
+ <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this.
+
+5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an
+ inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount
+ of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin
+ <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug.
