-Changes between versions 0.4b37 and 0.4b38 (released ????????????)
-==================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b41 and 0.4b42 (released xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
+=====================================================================
+
+1. Fix printout of the 'Connection to' message in dump/restore.
+ Thanks to Dale Wiles <dwiles@users.sourceforge.net> for the
+ bug report and its fix.
+
+2. Fix dump -w/-W output for filesystems having the last backup
+ level equal to 0. Thanks to Pascal Bouchareine
+ <kalou@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
+
+3. Enable restore to handle restoring onto a different SELinux
+ policy from the dump. Thanks to Tony Nelson
+ <tony_nelson@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch.
+ (see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189845
+ for details)
+
+4. Fix EA set failures when restoring immutable files. Thanks
+ to Andrew Kroeger for the patch.
+
+5. Fix "mode file too large" errors when restoring huge backups.
+ Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug
+ report.
+
+6. Add the ability to link against libtinfo library if present,
+ instead of libtermcap or libncurses libraries. Thanks to
+ Adam Tkac <atkac@redhat.com> for the patch.
+
+7. When comparing a backup, do not consider to be an error the fact
+ that we encounter files created while dump was in progress.
+ Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug
+ report.
+
+8. Force '-a' to be the default value when running 'restore -C'.
+ Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug
+ report.
+
+9. Many improvements to the 'cron_dump_to_disk' example.
+ Thanks to Aaron S. Hawley <ashawley@users.sourceforge.net> for
+ the patch.
+
+10. Fix the QFA generation when extended attributes are backuped
+ along with the inodes. Prior to this fix, the entries for
+ some inodes may get corrupted (duplicated entries or incorrect
+ ones), making the QFA file unusable for repositionning in
+ restore. Many thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com>
+ for the bug report and the testing of the fix.
+
+11. Fix EA restoration in debug mode (Sourceforge bug #1986216).
+
+12. Stefan Auracher <star7@onlinehome.de> noticed that the Tower
+ of Hanoi backup strategy documented in the man page wasn't
+ actually based on the Tower of Hanoi algorithm. The man page
+ was updated accordingly.
+
+13. Fix missing level information from dump output when using
+ the default level (RedHat bug #493635). Thanks to Adam Tkac
+ <atkac@redhat.com> for the patch.
+
+14. Fix the dump man page to reflect the fact that the default
+ dump level is 0 not 9 (RedHat bug #356121). Thanks to Adam Tkac
+ <atkac@redhat.com> for the patch.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b40 and 0.4b41 (released January 2, 2006)
+=====================================================================
+
+1. Fix restore of dumped Access Control Lists. The previous
+ code for EA works fine, but ACLs needed conversion from the
+ ext2/3 disk format to posix_acl format before restoring.
+
+2. Fix some issues with restoration of EA on big endian
+ platforms.
+
+3. Fix restore when the symtab is over 2GB in size.
+
+4. Made the directory hash indexing an optional feature,
+ accessible by the '-H' option of restore, and disable it
+ by default.
+
+5. Fixed dump to not include extended attributes information
+ in the toc (archive) file which confused restore -t.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b39 and 0.4b40 (released May 2, 2005)
+=================================================================
+
+1. Changed restore to emit warnings (instead of emitting a fatal
+ error) if a file (or a directory) is unavailable for a
+ comparision (if the user doesn't have the necessary permissions
+ to access it for example). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
+ <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug report.
+
+2. Re-done the 'do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes
+ (excluded from dump)' feature. The previous implementation
+ worked well for excluded directories but not for regular files.
+ Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug
+ report.
+
+3. Fixed a bug in dump where the tape size was miscalculated when
+ the user used -d/-s to specify the tape characteristics. Thanks
+ to Philip Goisman <goisman@physics.arizona.edu> for reporting
+ the bug.
+
+4. Fixed another bug introduced in restore with the hashtree
+ implementation. This one caused restore to stop saying
+ "removenode: non-empty directory" in some cases.
+
+5. Added support for dumping and restoring ext2/3 extended
+ attributes (EA), like the access control lists (ACL) or
+ the security labels used by SELinux.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b38 and 0.4b39 (released January 21, 2005)
+======================================================================
+
+1. The newly added dump_on_cd_3 example was buggy, replace it
+ with an updated version from Andrew Basterfield
+ <bob@cemetery.homeunix.org>.
+
+2. Made restore to chdir() back into the initial directory when
+ dumping core while aborting a comparision operation. The
+ previous behaviour was to write the corefile at the root of
+ the directory being compared, which could very well be
+ read only and preventing the corefile generation. Thanks
+ to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug report.
+
+3. Silenced the failure to call fgetflags() when comparing an
+ entry which has no ext2 attributes (as in lsattr()).
+
+4. Fix a brown paper bug in restore -C which broke restore and
+ caused modifications on the filesystem being compared
+ (directories containing a file with the same name as the
+ directory get renamed to RSTTMP...). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
+ <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for finding the bug and helping me
+ reproduce it.
+
+5. Made restore -C force the -N flag (no writing allowed on
+ the disk) in order to prevent more bugs like the above one.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b37 and 0.4b38 (released January 7, 2005)
+=====================================================================
1. Fix a couple of troff syntax bugs in the man pages.
Thanks to Eric Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> for the patch.
Thanks to Kevin B. Haines <K.B.Haines@rl.ac.uk> for
submitting the bug and testing the fix.
+6. Fix a problem in restore where the final \0 in the symbolic
+ link names could have been lost, generating corrupt filenames.
+ Thanks to Kyle Wilson <kyle.wilson@amd.com> for reporting the
+ bug.
+
+7. Implemented a hash list for the directory names in restore.
+ The linear list used before caused problems in interactive
+ restores when dealing with directories having thousands of
+ entries. Thanks to Brian Ristuccia <bristuccia@starentnetworks.com>
+ for reporting the bug.
+
+8. Improved restore -C, this time including the directory
+ attributes into the comparision.
+
+9. Made restore understand tapes containing EA/ACLs (which will
+ be dumped by the next version of dump). In this version
+ extended attributes on the tape are ignored, for full EA/ACL
+ support wait for the next version or try the experimental EA
+ patch.
+
Changes between versions 0.4b36 and 0.4b37 (released July 7, 2004)
