-Changes between versions 0.4b23 and 0.4b24 (released ?????????????)
-===================================================================
+Changes between versions 0.4b26 and 0.4b27 (released ???????????????)
+=====================================================================
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b24 and 0.4b25 (released November 17, 2001)
+=======================================================================
+
+1. Added a mini howto from Patrick Walsh in the examples
+ directory.
+
+2. Minor man pages syntax corrections. Thanks to
+ Chris Danis <screechco@home.com> for reporting the bugs.
+
+3. Added a script from David B. Peterson <dave@toppledwagon.com>
+ to the examples section. It features dumping several
+ filesystems to a remote tape drive upon ssh.
+
+4. Added a patch provided by Richard Jones <rich@annexia.org>
+ which allows BRADEMAX (number of read errors tolerated by
+ dump) to be adjusted using the -I option.
+
+5. Fixed a bug which disabled doing "restore -C -f -". Thanks
+ to Clemens Stiglechner <a9401816@unet.univie.ac.at> for the
+ patch.
+
+6. Add the -l option to restore to specify if, when doing a
+ remote restore, the file used to access the backup is a
+ regular file (the defaults being a tape drive). Restore needs
+ to know this information when reading a remote compressed
+ dump. Previously, this information was autodetected, but
+ the autodetection code fails (with ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl
+ for device) when using a non Linux remote box. Thanks to
+ many users and especially to Eros Albertazzi
+ <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting this.
+
+7. Found a workaroung for the dump deadlock problem (3 childs
+ stuck in pause(), father in read()). The workaround seems
+ to work for me and several beta-testers. If it doesn't work
+ for you, please report back.
+
+8. Updated the RPM spec file (BuildPrereq, URL etc).
+
+Changes between versions 0.4b23 and 0.4b24 (released September 12, 2001)
+========================================================================
1. Fixed the permissions of a newly created QFA file by dump.
