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. Thanks to Frédéric + Brière for the bug report and the associated + patch. + +9. Fix progress/estimated blocks display in dump when doing really + huge backups. Thanks to Steve Bonds + for the bug report and tests. (Sourceforge bug #2987758) + +10. Improve level 1 dump speed by rearanging the "mapdirs" code. + Thanks to Andreas Kies for finding the + bottleneck and sending a patch (Sourceforge bug #2998119). + +11. Use only ctime in order to compare newness instead of both + ctime and mtime. This should both speed up dumping time and + correct some side-effect bugs (like dumping files with an mtime + in the future in every incremental backup).

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.

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 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).
