dump (0.4b49-2) unstable; urgency=high

  release 0.4b49 is not fully backwards compatible
  with older releases: older releases cannot restore backups
  that have been created with 0.4b49.

  the codebase has been refreshed and fixed up quite substantially
  by tim woodall, the new upstream developer; a good overview of
  the changes can be found in /usr/share/doc/dump/NEWS.gz.

dump (0.4b47-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  dump now records the actual filesystem argument that it was given
  in /var/lib/dumpdates; that argument may not be the same
  as the underlying disk device but this change makes
  incremental backups with filesystems selected by LABEL=x
  or UUID=y possible without format changes to dumpdates.

  there is one small limitation:

  if you want to perform incrementals, then you must give dump the same
  filesystem selection parameter for all invocations (level 0 and up),
  or it won't find previous backups in /var/lib/dumpdates.
  
  for example, you can't mix selection by device path /dev/sdxyz with
  selection by UUID=whatever, regardless of whether the two identify the
  same physical filesystem or not.

dump (0.4b45-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  QFA is functional again.

dump (0.4b45-2) unstable; urgency=high

  this is an interim version with QFA (quick file access) support DISABLED;
  with QFA enabled dump crashes repeatably with a segfault which
  renders the package completely and utterly broken (see #826398).

  i'm resorting to this undesirable temporary featurectomy because
  i haven't found	the root cause of that segfault yet - but version
  0.4b45-1 has already made it into testing, and i clearly can't leave things
  as they are.

  to those of you relying on QFA: please bear with me for a few more days.
