+1.	Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from
+	non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem
+	(incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at
+	ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to
+	Jörg Schilling <schilling@fokus.gmd.de> for reporting this bug and
+	providing an excellent, cross-platform replacement for rmt in his
+	star package.

+3.	Made restore work with older versions of the readline library,
+	by checking in configure for several extended symbols. Restore
+	can now be compiled with a readline as old as the 2.0 release
+	(though it may be a good idea to upgrade it to a more recent
+	version...). Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
+	reporting the build failures.
+
+4.	Fixed a performance problem with the QFA file creation in
+	dump, which made unnecessary seeks on the tape slowing down
+	the dump. Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
+	reporting this issue.
+
+5.	Removed the inclusion of some kernel headers in the dump
+	source, which prevented the compile in some kernel/glibc
+	headers/architecture combination. Thanks to Bdale Garbee
+	<bdale@gag.com> for reporting the bug.
+
+6.	Added the appropriate error message when dump fails to
+	open the output file for writing. Thanks to Amith Varghese
+	<amithv@yahoo.com> for reporting this bug.
+
+7.	Made restore able to understand large Solaris ufsdump tapes 
+	(containing inodes bigger than 4194304). Sun have introduced
+	an "extension" to the dump tape format when dealing with
+	those inodes, which was uncorrectly handled by Linux restore.
+	Thanks to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> for reporting the bug and
+	providing a test case.
+
+8.	Added the -m parameter to dump which optimises the output for
+	inodes having been changed but not modified since the last dump
+	('changed' and 'modified' have the meaning defined in stat(2)).
+	For those inodes, dump will save only the metadata, instead of
+	saving the entire inode contents. Inodes which are either 
+	directories or have been modified since the last dump are saved
+	in a regular way.  Uses of this flag must be consistent, meaning
+	that either every dump in an incremental dump set have the flag,
+	or no one has it.
