Fix a bug in dump making impossible to handle large toc files + (> 2 GB). Thanks to X DUGi for + reporting the bug (Sourceforge bug #2820629) + +2. Fix 'restore -x' in multi-volume mode, which caused files being + spanned on the first and second volumes to be incorrectly extracted. + Thanks to Adam Tkac for reporting the bug. + (there may be several bug reports about this issue, including + Sourceforge bug #2117008, RedHat bugs #232415 and #444958). + +3. Remove -lselinux -lsepol from the standard libraries list, + they shouldn't be needed if selinux is not enabled in dump + (this also fixes a build failure when selinux libraries are + not installed). + +4. Fix restoration of extended attributes of fifos and device nodes. + Thanks to Igor Zhbanov for the bug report. + +5. Don't attempt to set extended attributes on files that were not + extracted in 'restore -N' mode. Thanks to Jan Görig + for the patch. + +6. Make the dump man page explicit about ext4 support. + +7. Fix a bug in dump which caused EA entries to be unrecognizable by + restore in some corner cases. Add a workaround to restore making + it able to properly deal with those corrupted EA entries. Thanks + to John Austin for reporting + the bug. + +8. Fix some issues when restoring a dump which was generated using + exclusion patterns (either via -e or via the nodump attribute) + (see the Debian bug #574667 for details.

Fix printout of the 'Connection to' message in dump/restore. + Thanks to Dale Wiles 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 + for reporting the bug. + +3. Enable restore to handle restoring onto a different SELinux + policy from the dump. Thanks to Tony Nelson + 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 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 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 for the bug + report. + +8. Force '-a' to be the default value when running 'restore -C'. + Thanks to Kenneth Porter for the bug + report. + +9. Many improvements to the 'cron_dump_to_disk' example. + Thanks to Aaron S. Hawley for + the patch. + +10. Fix the QFA generation when extended attributes are backuped + along with the inodes. Prior to this fix, the entries for + some inodes may get corrupted (duplicated entries or incorrect + ones), making the QFA file unusable for repositionning in + restore. Many thanks to Kenneth Porter + for the bug report and the testing of the fix. + +11. Fix EA restoration in debug mode (Sourceforge bug #1986216). + +12. Stefan Auracher noticed that the Tower + of Hanoi backup strategy documented in the man page wasn't + actually based on the Tower of Hanoi algorithm. The man page + was updated accordingly. + +13. Fix missing level information from dump output when using + the default level (RedHat bug #493635). Thanks to Adam Tkac + for the patch. + +14. Fix the dump man page to reflect the fact that the default + dump level is 0 not 9 (RedHat bug #356121). Thanks to Adam Tkac + for the patch. + +15. Fixed a few spelling errors in the man pages (RedHat bug #489853). + Thanks to Adam Tkac for the patch. + +16. Fixed restore man page and program usage which incorrectly stated + that -P and -A were both allowed in the same invocation (RedHat + bug #490627). Thanks to Adam Tkac for the patch. + +17. Use sys_clone under Linux to share I/O contexts between dump + processes, thus drastically increasing the performance of dump + under CFQ (which is the default I/O scheduler used in a number of + distributions). Thanks to Jeff Moyer for the + patch. + +18. Add (preliminary) ext4 support - thanks to libext2fs which does + all the job for us.
