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. + +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. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the + output of dump. + +2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that + this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due + to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape + (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory, + which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null + character at the end). + +3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to + tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley + for the patch. + +4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility + to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed + from a text file (in addition of the command line). + Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic for the + patch. + +5. Added the device name and the current volume number + as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option). + +6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having + broken it in 0.4b15). + +Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000) +=================================================================== 1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks to Andreas Dilger for the patch.
