-Changes between versions 0.4b36 and 0.4b37 (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.
+
+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.
+
+2. Made restore use either libncurses or libtermcap, depending
+ on which one is available at configure time.
+
+3. Fixed restore negative size display bug when comparing a
+ dump containing files over 2GB. Thanks to Steve Bonds
+ <sbonds@users.sourceforge.net> for the bug report.
+
+4. Do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes
+ (excluded from dump). This will eliminate the 'missing
+ file' warnings when doing 'restore -C'.
+
+5. Fix dump crash when backuping a huge (2TB) filesystem,
+ due to a bogus calculation on the inode map size.
+ 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)
+==================================================================
1. Added the --enable-staticz configure option which enables
dump and restore to be linked with static versions of
that are also defined by <linux/types.h> (<asm/types.h>) and
they conflict).
+3. Make dump's reading of the dumpdates file a bit more robust,
+ preventing dump from crashing when the dumpdates file has
+ been modified by hand.
+
+4. Fixed some offset calculations in dump code which could
+ lead to "bread lseek errors" on large filesystems. Thanks
+ to Bruce Lowekamp <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for
+ reporting this bug and debugging the issue.
+
+5. Made dump use the blkid library when searching for devices
+ by label or uuid instead of dump's own routines.
+
+6. Corrected a bug in dump where a wrong LABEL=... line in
+ /etc/fstab could prevent dump from dumping unrelated
+ filesystems. Thanks to Bruce Lowekamp
+ <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
