+Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released ???????????????)
+====================================================================
+
+1.     Make configure test if the system glob routines support 
+       extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
+       routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski 
+       <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
+       and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
+       glitches.
+
+2.     Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
+       feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti 
+       <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
+       Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999)
+====================================================================
+
+1.     Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem 
+       when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
+       to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
+       Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
+       this and providing the patch.
