Added the --enable-staticz configure option which enables + dump and restore to be linked with static versions of + libz and libbz2 (and dynamic versions of all other libraries). + This will make Debian users happy, because libz and libbz2 + were the only needed libraries living in /usr, all the + others live in /lib. In case of system emergency, it is + better not to have to rely on an extra filesystem. + Thanks to Bdale Garbee for the suggestion. + +2. Fix compilation on (at least the Linux Debian port to) AMD64. + ( defines some types (__s64 and __u64) + that are also defined by () 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 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 + for reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b35 and 0.4b36 (released April 21, 2004) +==================================================================== + +1. Fixed dump compilation with old gcc versions. Thanks to + Mike Castle for the patch. + +2. Fixed some warnings (howmany, roundup, powerof2 redefined) + when compiling against a recent glibc version. + +3. Fixed a bug in restore preventing the read of a dump tape + written with Solaris 7 ufsdump. Thanks to Patrick Higgins + for reporting the bug and providing + the test case. + +4. Changed dump to enable the creation of volumes of different + sizes in a single run (make -B accept a list of values). + Patch contributed by Florian Zumbiehl . + +5. Use the glibc provided minor() and major() macros instead + of our own bitmask implementation. This should be safe for + when the major/minor namespace will migrate to 32 bits. + Thanks to Zhang Jun for reporting + the bug. + +6. Made explicit in the dump man page that dump will not create + a remote file, it will only write to an already existing one. + +7. Another try at making size estimates better again. + +8. Put back the inconditional running of the end-of-tape + script which was changed in 0.434 to be run only when -M + or multiple -f were NOT specified. Some users rely on this + feature even when it is combined with -M/-f. + +9. Fixed restore when restoring huge backups (where rstdir... + temporary files are over 2GB). Thanks to + Raphael Jaffey for reporting this, + debugging the issue and making the patch. + +10. Made restore understand FreeBSD UFS2 tapes. Thanks to + David for submitting the bug + and providing a test case. + +11. Made dump work with an arbitrary integer level (no more 10 + levels only limitation). Thanks to Matthew + for the patch. + Changes between versions 0.4b34 and 0.4b35 (released December 21, 2003) =======================================================================
