Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17) + which was causing several strange dump failures (dump + hanged or segmentation faults etc). + +2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page. + +3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout + instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors + or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell + for the suggestion. + +4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented + dumping a directory having a 1 character name length. + Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no + -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document + this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused + in some conditions hard links to be restored several + times (therefore generation some warning messages). + Thanks to Kenneth Porter for + reporting the bug. + +7. Update the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version, + providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes. + +Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000) +=================================================================== + +1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks + to Stan Bubrouski for reporting + the bug. + +2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented + 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks + to Charles Karney + for the bug report. + +3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to + be more stable against some attacks (like the last one + reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore + was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to + Andreas Hasenack for reporting + the bugs to me. + +4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the + default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer + now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order + to make network backups should read first the man page + of dump and enable the suid bit manually. + +5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore + when using readline support, in order to make the compile + process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to + Patrik Schindler for reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000) +==================================================================== + +1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape, + not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul + for the bug report. + + Normally, the device name and the current volume number + are passed on the command line of the script. However, + if you want the old style script (with no arguments + passed on the command line), you can enable it in + configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript. + +2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality + with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson for + the patch. + +3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare + command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status + of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors, + 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter + for the suggestion. + +4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore. + +5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a + really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman + for the bug report. + +6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore. + Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature. + Thanks to Patrik Schindler for the + suggestion. + +7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will + allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when + ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter + for the suggestion. + +Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000) +==================================================================== + 1.
