-Changes between versions 0.4b24 and 0.4b25 (released ??????????????????)
-========================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b27 and 0.4b28 (released ?????????????????)
+=======================================================================
+
+1.     Fixed a bug in the QFA feature which could have caused 
+       a bad tape positionning on restore (causing extra delays in
+       restore). Credits go to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b26 and 0.4b27 (released February 15, 2002)
+=======================================================================
+
+1.     Fixed behaviour of dump when exceeding resource limits
+       (SIGXFSZ treatment).
+
+2.     Added the -L flag to restore to allow the user to specify a 
+       maximal allowed number of miscompares when using restore
+       with the -C option to check the backup.
+
+3.     Detailed the manual entry for the -N option of restore.
+
+4.     Added the -a flag to restore to make able doing unattended
+       restores in -i or -x mode (automatically walks through the
+       multiple dump volumes).
+
+5.     Extended the QFA mode to work with local files and/or
+       remote tapes and files. This way, restore can know in advance
+       the tape number and the offset for the inodes to extract and 
+       can minimize the extraction time by seeking directly to the 
+       good tape/offset.
+
+6.     Added the -A <archive> option to both dump and restore, 
+       which makes dump to archive a dump table-of-contents in
+       the specified file to be used by restore to determine
+       whether a file is in the dump file that is being restored.
+       (the archive file syntax is also compatible with the
+       Solaris ufsdump generated one).
+
+7.     Small fix in restore making it able to read some (broken ?)
+       Solaris ufsdump tapes.
+
+8.     Fixed dump to correctly recognise the root filesystem when using
+       ext2 disk labels (LABEL=/). Thanks to John Yu <jky@it.bu.edu>
+       for reporting this bug.
+
+9.     Added the -P <file> option to restore to create a
+       Quick File Access file from an already made dump. Patch 
+       contributed by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
+
+10.    Made restore compile and run on Solaris, making it a 
+       possible replacement for the standard ufsrestore. Port was
+       contributed by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b25 and 0.4b26 (released January 7, 2002)
+=====================================================================
+
+1.     Added a set of backup scripts from Eugenio Diaz
+       <getnito@yahoo.com> in the examples section. It features
+       automatic (cron based) full and incremental dumping of
+       several filesystems on a separate filesystem.
+
+2.     Fixed a off-by-one miscalculation which disabled dumping
+       a one letter subdirectory. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann 
+       <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for reporting the bug.
+
+3.     Fixed several restore bugs occuring when trying to
+       restore some missing files on the tape. Thanks to Chris
+       Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for reporting the bug.
+
+4.     Fixed --with-ldopts configure argument passing, installing from
+       a separate object directory, makefile cleanups contributed
+       by <splite@purdue.edu>.
+
+5.     Fix a bug which could caused, in some conditions, the highest
+       number inode of a filesystem, to not be dumped. Many thanks
+       to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for helping me
+       chase this bug.

        to work for me and several beta-testers. If it doesn't work
        for you, please report back.
