-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).

 1.     Fixed the permissions of a newly created QFA file by dump.

+8.     Added a ioctl(BLKFLSBUF) in dump which should flush the
+       kernel buffer/page cache before starting the dump, helping
+       a bit those who use dump on mounted filesystems. Thanks to
+       John Yu <jky@it.bu.edu> and to Theodore T'so <tytso@mit.edu>
+       for this suggestion.
+
+9.     Updated the RPM spec file following the RedHat changes 
+       (dynamically linked binaries now in /usr/sbin etc).
+
+10.    Added a patch from Helmut Jarausch <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>
+       which enables restore to recognise multi volume compressed dumps
+       done on CD. Included his scripts for dump (which pipe the dump
+       output directly into cdrecord) and restore. There is now 
+       possible to to backups to CD on the fly!
