+- now make boot/data floppies at end of backup, not beginning
+- backup in alphabetical order now, not reverse-alpha
+- if Compare Mode reports changed files /var/* and /etc/mtab only then tell the user their archives are good despite the differneces
+- cut back on excessively verbose logging at backup-time
+- when vacuum-packing a partition, describe it as "(max size)", not "(0 MB)"
+- if swap is already mounted, don't abort: just say, 'swap already mounted'
+- when unmounting all devices, don't try to unmount something if it's not even mounted; if it's not mounted, say so but don't try to unmount it: you'll just end up looking very silly :)
+

+- size_of_file() now returns long long, not long
+- find mondo-archive and set MONDO_PATH accordingly
+- scratchdir is /home/mondo.scratch by default
+- at backup-time, run mondo-restore in test mode to make sure that the executable is sane & will run OK at restore-time
+
+v1.19 (2001-11-14)
+- tested on Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and Red Hat 7.2; backup,wipe,restore went OK

+- at restore-time, always check for presence of decompressor; abort if notfound
+- run 'chmod -r 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp' after restoring
+- fixed bugs in Compare Mode:- - missing else{} - erroneous 'cannot add archive' error; res+=retval should have read retval+=res (Tony Kim)
+- use 'umount /mnt/cdrom' instead of 'umount /dev/cdrom', to make it compatible with busybox's umount command
+- fixed bug in mondo-archive which stopped Mondo from pausing to retry if the CD/ISO fails the verification phase
+- modified compare_all_tarballs() in mondo-restore.c
+- if running interactively then offer to modify fstab and lilo.conf if user says s/he has modified the mountlist
+- if mondo-tarme segfaults (as it does, on a _very_ few systems) then Mondo picks up on the fact & reports it

+
+v1.17 (2001-10-20)

+- cosmetic change to output (no more 'burning first/last CD' msgs)
+- abort if user uses '--use-lzo' but doesn't install LZO(P) first
+- changed --differential's \( and \) to ( and ) <-- thanks, Michael Moellney)
+- added Marcus Oberhumer's LZO to Mindi and Mondo; use '--use-lzo' switch to activate this groovy new compression algorithm; it is not as efficient as bzip2 but it is can take up to 50% less time than bzip2 to compress data
+- incorporated Bruno Cornec's "--cd-recovery" patch
+- at restore-time, set biggiefiles to +x
+- set optimal fileset size to 16MB (was 8MB)
+- don't report non-existent differences/errors between archives and filesystem
+- fixed bug in --differential switch (Michael Moellney)

+- default scratchdir is `pwd`/mondo.scratch.$$ (was mondo.scratch)
+- when asking user to send me a log file, warn them that the log file may contain information which they do not want me to see but point out that I cannot help much unless I have a copy of their log file
+- when comparing to or restoring from tape, only update the progree form if/when I've just restored files; otherwise, I would screw up the time est.s
+- increase afio's block count from 256 to 1024 when restoring from tape
+- plays nicely with devfs-enabled kernels and distros
+- when restoring or comparing, track progress by the archive# (N out of M), not by the file#; the former is more reliable and useful than the latter
+- has been tested successfully with the following distros - Linux-Mandrake 8.1 and its 2.4.8, devfs-enabled stock kernel --- tape / CDR - Red Hat 7.1 and its 2.4.2 stock kernel --- tape / CDR
+- tape streamers are now supported; use the '--write-tapes <dev> <sizeMB>' switch, e.g. --write-tapes /dev/st0 4096
+- LVM support is stabilizing
+- when mounting/unmounting partitions to be restored, don't forget to mount/unmount the swap partitions
+- when zeroing a drive, use plain old C fopen/fputc/fclose, not 'dd'
+- after restoring data and running LILO, unmount (as usual) and then run label-partitions-as-necessary, to set the ext2fs LABELs if it is appropriate
+- fixed bugs in selective restoration scripts and executable
+- fixed silly bug in hack-lilo; bug was triggered when I moved to Mandrake 8.1; bug caused '/dev/fd0' entry in lilo.conf to become corrupted
+- if user tries to make a bootable rescue CD with the '--no-bkpath' switch then politely direct them to Mindi :-)
+
+v1.15 (2001-09-28)
+- serialized the call to mondo-filelistchop.c; helps to improve visual feedback (yeah, sounds weird but it's true)

+- fixed silly bug in mount-me (a crucial line was disabled)
+- working on stablilo-me, hack-lilo and hack-fstab to make sure they work with the new, busybox-based Mindi v0.41
+- Mindi v0.41 is very different from v0.40, internally anyway; so, I had to do a lot of testing to make sure Mondo would play nicely with the new Mindi
+
+v1.14 (2001-09-18)
+- if verify is enabled then verify each CD/ISO after writing it
+- fixed a quasi-bug in mondo/mount-me; this script used 'sort +1' which is not supported by busybox; I've changed it to just plain old 'sort'
+- Mondo now tells Mindi whether or not to use its stock kernel
+- fixed bug in 'biggify-me' script; now, checksums will be verified
+- fixed bug in checksum comparison code (mondo-restore.c)
+- reimplemented '--verify' switch; now, user can verify ISO's or CD's against the live filesystem, just for 'belt and braces' emotional security
+- improved the error-reporting at restore-time (if tarball cannot be accessed)
+- if user does not specify CD-R(W) drive's speed or device then Mondo will try to locate the drive and will assume 4x speed
+- user may now type 'edit-mountlist' after booting, if they want to edit the mountlist without risking accidentally wiping their hard disks
+- fixed a few silly typos in the error messages in mondo-tarme
+- updated the FAQ
+- added code to verify ISO images
+- used 'blank=fast' instead of '-blank fast' for backward-compatibility with older versions of cdrecord
+- if nonzero value returned by Mondo, then Mondo creates a mondo.err.$$.tgz tarball containing log files & stuff, which it tells the user to e-mail me
+- when debugging, don't pause before running mondo-tarme; just run it
+- automatically exclude any file including '/vmmhiber.w9x' in its pathname
+- added Minix support (although I doubt anyone needs it)
+- ported mondo-tarme to C - prettier interface at run-time (backup), giving better feedback - obviates a mysterious, intermittent bug in bash itself - shows '% done' when burning CD
+- afio now has a 12MB FIFO buffer (was 16MB)
+- cdrecord now has a 20MB FIFO buffer (was 24MB)
+- wipe [CD]/usr/share/mondo, as well as floppy images, if CD #2 or later
+- up to 19 CD's may be created now

+- fixed mondo-restore.c's mkreiserfs call; ditto, prep-me's mkreiserfs call
+- fixed mondo-restore.c's compare_a_biggiefile() subroutine, which would generate erroneous error messages
+- fixed mondo-archive.c's restore_a_biggiefile() and restore_all_biggiefiles() subroutines; I can't get them to break but others can, so I've streamlined the code to make them easier to debug and in theory more stable too
+- fixed 'hack-fstab' to make sure that non-LABELed partitions are correctly moved/changed, etc.
+- fixed the 'space in big filename' bug (I think)
+- make Interactive Mode sort the mountlist (by partition size) before creating the dirs and mounting the partitions to them
+- fixed a slew of bugs related to Red Hat's LABEL= extensions
+- cleaned up mondo-restore.c and mondo-newt.c; replaced lots of arbitrary limits and lengths with a small number of #define's
+- added some sample RAID0/1/5 raidtab (config) files to restore-scripts.tgz, which will be restored to the ramdisk's /etc dir when the user boots from the CD; this will only take up an extra 50K or so & will help any user who is moving from non-RAID to RAID
+- changed FIFO size to 20MB
+- only use the VFAT kludge on /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1; otherwise, even if the partition type is VFAT, do a regular mkfs.vfat
+- if mkfs.vfat doesn't exist, use mkfs.dos
+- only try to add 'LABEL=' to ext2 and ext3 partitions
+- moved a bunch of scripts from Mindi's rootfs.tgz to our restore-scripts.tgz
+- fixed bugs in mondo-restore.c, which would sometimes just sit there when trying to compare or restore big files that were spread across CD's
+- Interactive Mode goes straight to 'mondo-restore --interactive' now, i.e.  the user doesn't have to choose Interactive once at boot and once within mondo-restore
+- better post-run clean-up
+- improved mondo-restore.c's error-reporting a little bit
+- stablilo-me (the script) now supports Red Hat's "LABEL=" extensions to /etc/fstab, via the script, 'label-partitions-as-necessary'

+- should be able to create up to 20 CD-R's per backup set now
+- moved a line within prep-me that was in the wrong place (thanks, Fran Boon!)
+- runs 'df -m' and saves it to a text file 'df.txt' on the CD
+- added 10-second delay before mondo-restore's Nuke Mode, to let the user abort
+- really fixed the '/mnt/RESTORING/tmp' permissions bug (thanks, Ang Tan!)
+- sometimes, bash gets all screwed up & won't let the user type 'continue' when Mondo asks them to; if that happens, Mondo will detect it & use a different kind of mondo-askme; the new mondo-askme will check every 10 minutes for a blank CD; if it's there, then the burn continues
+- abort if isodir or scratchdir is a softlink
+- replaced mondo-askme with a good shell script, to work around flaws in bash and/or kernel (don't know which)
+- added a failsafe kernel to Mindi, which means you don't have to make sure your kernel is suitable for a boot disk; you can just use Mindi's instead
+- make+chop filelist _after_ calling Mindi
+- updated the FAQ
+
+v1.10 (2001-08-12)
+- changed cdrecord's FIFO size back to 4MB
+- added -pad -sort to the call to mkisofs

+- updated the FAQ, to remind users that they can boot from floppy images if their kernel does not have the right support of CD-ROM's, filesystems, etc.
+- erroneous error-reporting by /mondo/biggify-me; fixed (David Granz)
+- don't estimate the time remaining unless >20 sets processed already
+- default set size (uncompressed) is now 8MB (was 12MB); when 8MB, seems to run more smoothly & a little quicker, too, at restore-time
+- chmod 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp after restoring/creating /tmp
+- dropped mondo-askme.c; using regular 'read' instead
+- mondo-restore.c uses newt instead of ncurses; much prettier that way
+- cdrecord now uses a 16MB FIFO buffer (was 8MB)
+- fixed floating point error in mondo-restore (when showing progress)
+- when mondo-restore is called without params (e.g. by Interactive Mode), it lets the user choose between nuke, interactive or compare (or abort)
+- updated the FAQ
+- working on Cuckoo Mode...
+
+v1.09 (2001-08-02)
+- default compression level is now 3 (was 2)
+- retry/fail/abort loop bug fixed
+- calls mindi with "--custom $TMP $scratchdir/images" to force mindi to use my temp dir and to put the images in my 'images' folder
+
+v1.08 (2001-07-28)
+- offer to Retry/Fail/Abort if an error occurs when Mondo tries to burn a CD-R
+- warn if kernel is 2.4.[0-5] (could have buggy loopfs code)
+- tested with RAID-5 --- works fine :-)
+
+v1.07 (2001-07-22)
+- fixed cosmetic mistake in an error msg in mondo-tarme ('continue'-related)
+- hack-fstab now uses "defaults 0 0" instead of "default 1 3" when making a new entry in /etc/fstab
+- /mondo/restore-me always makes /mnt/RESTORING/tmp; so does mondo-restore.c
+- cosmetic changes to mondo-restore.c's screen output
+- RAID-related enhancements to mondo-restore.c - RAID bkp/restore appears to be stable - it is possible to move from non-RAID to RAID by backing up, wiping, creating /etc/raidtab, modifying /tmp/mountlist.txt and then restoring - mondo-restore.c works well - the only weakness is that the kernel's messages are written to the current console, not to a separate console... HELP? :-)
+- updated README (esp. FAQ) and TODO
+- tested with Linux 2.4.7; works fine
+- mondo-1.07.spec and install.sh compile every C program with -lncurses, just in case some programs (besides mondo-restore.c) need the NCURSES library
+- mondo-restore.c is now compiled statically
+
+v1.06 (2001-07-19)
+- now software-RAID compatible
+- install.sh only compiles mondo-restore.c once now
+- if scratchdir or isodir contain more than one path (each), abort
+- mondo-restore.c creates dummy partitions if the user starts the official etc/fstab table at /dev/hda7 or something; so, partitioning should work, even if the mountlist has some gaps
+- for each /dev/md* device in the mountlist, run raidstop before mkraid
+
+v1.05 (2001-07-16)
+- patch from DoJ to make install.sh compile with -O2, not -O
+- cosmetic changes to the biggiefile-slicing code
+- fixed install.sh
+
+v1.04 (2001-07-15)
+- make-me-bootable only "boot-makes" each partition ONCE now
+- cosmetic changes to mondo-restore's logfile output
+- mondo-restore.c makes /mnt/RESTORING/tmp if necessary
+- should be able to cope with Red Hat's "LABEL=" messages in /etc/fstab
+
+v1.03 (2001-07-14)
+- looks for /etc/lilo.conf; aborts if it cannot locate it
+- abort if burning CD's & verify level>=2 (must be 1 or 0 if burning CD's)
+- catch errors in MakeIsoFS, if any
+- added 'mondo-restore.c'
+    - C program, to replace the old restore scripts
+    - Mindi will incorporate it in the data disks, if it can find Mondo - Mindi will also incorporate the old restore scripts (from Mondo) just in case the new C program doesn't work
+    - calls the script, 'stablilo-me' to run LILO if desired
+- added 'restore-scripts.tgz', which contains the /mondo scripts that used to live in Mindi; now, Mindi grabs them from here if necessary
+- cleared up Mode-related scripts & the executable to replace them
+- if mkisofs fails, ABORT, don't just warn
+- added '--differential' option, to backup the files changed during the last N days (N specified by user)
+
+v1.02 (2001-07-07)
+- retract the CD tray after asking user to enter 'continue' (PauseAndAskForCDR)
+- uses C program instead of bash loop for PauseAndAskForCDR; some bash versions go into an infinite loop for no reason; hopefully, outsourcing to C will help
+- when slicing, indicate progress ("N slices...")
+- when told to '--burn-cds', Mondo pipes mkisofs's output to cdrecord, instead of saving the ISO file to disk first; this change will save time and space (not in the Star Trek sense, however *smile*)
+- default set size (native) is now 12MB
+- copy /usr/share/mondo to correct directory within CD
+- all calls to gawk have been replaced with calls to awk
+- RPM and SRPM published
+- delete $TMP at end; don't just delete $TMP/*
+- can accept multiple parameters in the '--bkpath' switch
+
+v1.00 (2001-07-04)
+- thanks to recent changes to Mindi, Mondo is now compatible with the filesystem formats JFS, ext3, ReiserFS, XFS and ext2 (if your own kernel is)
+- CDs [2-N] do not have boot floppy images on them; only CD#1 does (although CDs [2-N] do have the El Torito boot image, just in case...)
+- modified the --burn-cds switch; now it takes 3rd param, 'cdrw' (optional) to let you wipe and rewrite CDRWs instead of wasting CDRs ;-)
+- removed that PID thing; doesn't work; please don't run Mondo twice at once :)
+- removed that "filenames contain '|'" error & associated problems
+- got rid of 'UNSAFE' warning/shortcut
+- removed --xerox-dev, --include-tarball, --skip-tildes, --ide-opt, --use-bzip2
+- mondo-archive doesn't make/hack/edit mountlist anymore; that's Mindi's job
+- uses Mindi Linux to make boot disks & data disks based on your distro
+- boot&data stuff goes in $scratchdir/images now
+- bzip2 is used by default to compress archives
+- don't make MD5 checksums if verify_level==0
+- when archiving, make N.tar.bz2 and cklist.txt (tarball+checksums) in parallel
+- at end of mondo-archive, remove scratchdir and TMP completely IF they were created by Mondo (e.g. /home/mondo.scratch or /home/tmp.mondo.12345)
+- fill CD/image up to 1MB less than its max size; was being filled up to about 8MB less than its max size, which wasted 8-10MB of storage space per disk
+
+v0.99 (2001-03-15)
+- /proc and /tmp removed --- i.e. added to exclude list :)
+- Mondo now uses 2.4-series kernel and modules (Bruno Cornec)
+- minor typos fixed (Bruno Cornec)
+- older, restore-related fixes merged w/Bruce's work (Maciej Kulasa)
+- better RPM spec file (Bruno Cornec)
+- incorporated Mondo v0.977's restore scripts' bugfixes (Maciej Kulasa)
+
+v0.981 (2001-03-06)
+- put 'dd' in coolstuff.tgz (Art Wells)
+
+v0.98 (2001-02-28)
+- INSTALL script renamed to install.sh
+- tarball cleaned up and re-tarred (Art Wells)
+- trailing CR/LF's cleaned from scripts (Art Wells)
+- work is underway to make Mondo compatible with the Linux kernel's 2.4 series
+
+v0.977 (2001-02-26)
+- based on v0.976
+- missing subs and silly typos fixed in restore scripts (Maciej Kulasa)
+- fstab files containing NFS mounts are handled properly (Petre Scheie)
+- Mondo is being actively developed again (yippee!)
+
+v0.976 (2000-09-01)
+- technical changes - 12MB ramdisk - repackaged: now, Mondo comes in big tarball/RPM with all overhead-files - each Mondo CD has a 15MB administrative overhead; used to be 50-60MB - definitely 386-compatible now (RH 6.2 binaries) - Linux-Mandrake 7.1 (2.2.16) kernel w/ReiserFS & Supermount - modules.conf / conf.modules support (whichever you've got) - user may include their own copies of modules, if Mondo doesn't come with the requisite modules already
+- extra facilities - ReiserFS support - '--load-modules <foo> <bar> ...' will allow you to force Mondo to load key modules at boot-time, e.g. aic7xxx for SCSI-only users
+- bugfixes - path-exclusion code (mondo-backup) - bogus 'flaws=1' message has been eradicated - CDRW-finding code is now much better at finding the CDRW correctly - dummy burn mode is working again - fixed security hole (thanks, Matija); now, user will be warned if Mondo is configured to execute /tmp/mondo-tarme - changed lots of 'grep " $string "' to 'grep -w "$string"' (thanks, Matija)
+
+v0.975 (2000-07-03)
+- made mondo-tarme use 'ask-me-a-question' to pause for new, blank CD-Rs
+- don't deeply search isodir for ISO files to wipe: maxdepth should be 1
+- 386-compatible kernel and modules (should be, anyway...)
+- applied Doug Nordwall's calc-disk-size patch to fix SCSI hdd size calc'n bug
+- applied Michael Ralph Pape's SCSI (2nd floppy) patch
+- removed devdump from overhead-list
+- mkisofs no longer called with '-quiet' switch
+- changed '--burn-cds' format: now it's --burn-cds <speed> (<device>)
+- added '-L' to LILO's call, so that >8GB hard disks overcome 1024-blk limit
+- mondo-compare runs check-mountlist-sanity before mounting partitions
+- ramdisk is now 14MB
+
+v0.972 (2000-06-16)
+- auto-archive, mondo-archive and mondo-tarme updated to make them more friendly towards mult-disk sets
+- if multiple CDRW drives, user is asked which mondo-archive should use
+
+v0.971 (2000-06-14)
+- auto-archive now passes CD size to mondo-archive
+- mondo-tarme, in conjunction with auto-archive, now handles CDRW boot/burn sharing much better than before
+
+v0.970 (2000-06-10)
+- kernel now creates 12MB ramdrive (was 16MB)
+- lots of silly bugs & overhead problems fixed; 2nd floppy closer to working
+- restore scripts all log to /var/log/mondo-restore.log
+- auto-archive:- - offers Low, Medium or High compression - no longer needs a spare hard drive for scratch space; uses loopfs on existing hard drive (if possible) instead - handles weird (multi-CDROM) PCs more gracefully now - handles PCs with CDRW but without CDROM more gracefully now - deletes each ISO after burning it to a CD-R (if it _is_ burning them) - asks if PC is old & crappy; if it is, IDE optimizations are disabled at backup-time and restore-time - lets user use CDRW for booting _and_ burning, thanks to reroute-softlinks
+- selective restore is finally fixed
+- nicer help screens on boot floppy
+
+v0.965 (2000-06-03)
+- 2MB of space left empty at end of every CD (e.g. 650MB is only 648MB full)
+- Suzhe & Lonius's SmartBootManager (sbminst) is used instead of Win98's MBR
+- Mondo may now resize Windows-only backups when restoring
+- silly bugs in prep-me... fixed
+
+v0.964 (2000-06-02)
+- VFAT partitions >8GB handled OK now
+- 2nd floppy (optionally) created for SCSI users <--- not working yet
+- better calc-disk-size algorithm (thanks, Doug Nordwall)
+- Mondo can now backup and restore Windows-only PCs! :-)
+- silly prep-me and format-and-kludge-vfat bugs fixed
+- 'resize hack' retitled as 'vacuum-pack'
+
+v0.963 (2000-05-31)
+- ISO images are no longer padded
+- all currently-loaded modules are backed up to custom hboot.img & installed at restore-time before CD is accessed
+- '--burn-cd <speed>' switch added
+- '--no-opt' switch added; use it in the call to mondo-archive if you don't want IDE optimization when restoring
+- lots of work done on auto-archive
+- mondo-extras-1.5 created; excludes mondo-zfile but includes hlib.tar.bz2
+- boot floppy image now includes kernel w/lots of SCSI stuff
+- slice* deleted (WipeArchives); was 'slices*' (bug!)
+- restore scripts all use 'lastbit-me' to find the 'X' part of '/dev/X' device; this will make it easier to port Mondo to kernel 2.4.x
+- I cannot make SCSI-based CDROMs boot from Mondo CDs properly... but SCSI hard drives and ZIP drives should be handled ok from now on
+- with a little coaxing, Mondo will backup Windows-only PCs (as well as Lin/Win and Linux-only PCs)
+
+v0.962 (2000-05-25)
+- silly bug in mondo-checksum fixed
+- stale tmp dirs are now definitely deleted (bug fixed)
+- "Job is %d complete. hh:ss to go." --- much better 'progress' string
+- 'buffer' is gone again :) thank goodness
+- only 1st ISO is padded; the rest aren't.
+- working on implementing an easy 'cdrecord' shortcut-call-thingy
+- mondo-archive doesn't try to delete loopfs unless it exists
+- mondo-restore's "hack-softlinks" - silly bug ($1/ missing) fixed
+- boot floppy image now includes mkdir and rmdir
+- user may specify temp directory using '--tempdir <path>'
+- mondo-archive now includes a copy of 'buffer' for future use
+- Mondo will now archive and restore Linux AND LinWin systems ok. W00H00! :-)
+
+v0.961 (2000-05-23)
+- mondo-checksum ignores files <2k in length
+- default compression level is 4
+- default verify level is 2
+- files <3k in size aren't compressed
+- filelist no longer includes bashbug, dosfsck or dir
+- bs-me is disabled in mondo-restore
+- fixed bug in 'hack-fstab' which stopped processing fstab if blank line found
+
+v0.960 (2000-05-22)
+- mondo-vfat-1.0 package released, to provide kludging for VFAT bootables
+- logfile now saved at /var/log/mondo-archive.log (not `pwd`/mondo-archive.log)
+- pid registered/checked _after_ command line processed... so you can do --help without being shouted at ;)
+- restore-me broken into 2 scripts: untar-me and biggify-me
+- restore-subroutine-me now renamed untar-subroutine-me
+- bzip2 decompression should work again ;) ... a missing '-Z' was added to the afio call, and the usr/lib/libbz* libraries are now included on CD ISOs
+- fixed hack-lilo to ignore blank lines
+- really ugly boot kludge has been implemented, using embleer files to make newly-formatted VFAT partitions bootable
