-Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released ????????????????)
-======================================================================
+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.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002)
+===================================================================
+
+1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over
+ rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi
+ <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002)
+===================================================================
1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read
error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command,
2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big
endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was
contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>.

+
+3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes
+ and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold
+ <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based
+ on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD
+ media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to
+ Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts.
+
+5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved
+ by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD
+ inode format, which means that the tape format was changed.
+ However, since all restore versions out there should
+ transparently support both inode formats, the change should
+ have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for
+ reporting the bug.
+
+6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling
+ with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree
+ <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this.
+
+7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to
+ Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the
+ patch.
+
+8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro
+ package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD
+ format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify.
