+ really useful feature especially since it can specified for a DLE. You
+ can use different compression algorithm for images, binaries, ascii files
+ and so on.
+* Dump images spanning multiple media volumes - Dump images are no
+ longer restricted to a single media volume (tape or vtape). Data restoration

-* Amrecover no longer binds an incorrect port that resulted in connection
- failures on some systems.
* Debug files in /tmp/amanda (--with-debug-dir) are now timestamped and old
ones automatically cleaned out. This means more space (a few KBytes) will
be used since in a given run, several of the programs are called more than
be lost by the file being overwritten. The length of time to keep the
files is controlled by --with-debug-days (default: 4). The old flag
--with-pid-debug-files is no longer needed and is ignored.
-* updated chg-zd-mtx.sh.in changer.
