From the upstream announcement:

From: Stelian Pop <stelian>
To: dump-announce.net
Subject: [Dump-announce] Dump/restore 0.4b38 released.
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2005 15:09:53 +0100

Hi everybody.

A new version of of dump/restore, the Linux ext2/ext3 filesystem
backup utilities, has been released today.

This release features several small bug fixes and a number of
performance enhancements, see the full ChangeLog below for full
details.  
 
The next version of dump/restore will feature EA/ACL support, and
there is already a beta patch implementing this. If you use EA/ACLs,
please do test this patch and report back (get the patch from dump's
homepage).

The dump/restore's homepage is located at:
	http://dump.sourceforge.net

Happy new year !

Stelian.

Changes between versions 0.4b37 and 0.4b38 (released January 7, 2005)
=====================================================================

1.	Fix a couple of troff syntax bugs in the man pages.
	Thanks to Eric Raymond <esr> for the patch.

2.	Made restore use either libncurses or libtermcap, depending
	on which one is available at configure time.

3.	Fixed restore negative size display bug when comparing a
	dump containing files over 2GB. Thanks to Steve Bonds
	<sbonds.net> for the bug report.

4.	Do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes 
	(excluded from dump). This will eliminate the 'missing
	file' warnings when doing 'restore -C'.

5.	Fix dump crash when backuping a huge (2TB) filesystem,
	due to a bogus calculation on the inode map size.
	Thanks to Kevin B. Haines <K.B.Haines.uk> for 
	submitting the bug and testing the fix.

6.	Fix a problem in restore where the final \0 in the symbolic
	link names could have been lost, generating corrupt filenames.
	Thanks to Kyle Wilson <kyle.wilson> for reporting the
	bug.

7.	Implemented a hash list for the directory names in restore.
	The linear list used before caused problems in interactive
	restores when dealing with directories having thousands of
	entries. Thanks to Brian Ristuccia <bristuccia>
	for reporting the bug.

8.	Improved restore -C, this time including the directory
	attributes into the comparision.

9.	Made restore understand tapes containing EA/ACLs (which will
	be dumped by the next version of dump). In this version 
	extended attributes on the tape are ignored, for full EA/ACL
	support wait for the next version or try the experimental EA
	patch.

Comment 1 Kenneth Porter 2005-01-11 21:40:15 UTC
FYI, I'm currently running the upstream RPM with the EA patch on FC2.
It builds fine and I'll cc any reports of problems here.

Comment 2 Kenneth Porter 2005-01-11 23:33:39 UTC
Hold off on this one. I just ran into problems with restore -C
(compare) trying to actually restore files, not a good thing.

Comment 3 Jindrich Novy 2005-01-12 09:39:28 UTC
Kenneth, thanks for the update announce. I built dump-0.4b38 including
the experimental patch to devel. I'm going to build updates for FC2,
FC3 likely without the patch.
