+               Release Notes for amanda-3.1.0
+
+config
+  * The 'rawtapedev' keyword was removed, and the 'label_new_tapes' keyword
+    was deprecated.
+  * New warnings for dangerous splitting configurations
+
+changer
+  We have many changers implementing the new changer API. The new changers are
+  faster, more reliable, and have many new features.  One new features is that
+  the changer keeps track of which label is in which slot, allowing it to
+  locate a tape faster. But with some changers (new chg-multi or chg-robot
+  without a barcode), it doesn't get automaticaly notified if you change the
+  volume in a slot. In this case, you must notify the changer of it with the
+  'amtape <conf> update' command:
+    amtape DailySet1 update 3-8
+    amtape DailySet1 update 3-8=
+    amtape DailySet1 update 3=DailySet-003
+  See amanda-changers(7) for more information.
+
+ndmp, dvdrw
+  New Amanda devices - see amanda-devices(7) for more information.
+
+amsamba
+  The default amandapass file for the amsamba application is
+  $CONFIG_DIR/amandapass, but it is /etc/amandapass for program GNUTAR.
+  Don't forget to move the file if you switch to the amsamba application.
+
+ampgsql, amsuntar, amraw
+  New applications to back up PostgreSQL databases, Solaris systems, and
+  raw device files, respectively.
+
+amtape
+  Amtape's behavior has changed; see NEWS
+
+amrmtape

+
+amdevcheck
+  New --label and --properties options give more information about device
+
+amreport
+  New, more natural command-line interface (try 'amreport $config')
+
+
+               Release Notes for amanda-2.6.1
+
+amgtar, amstar, amsamba, amzfs-sendrecv
+  Three new programs implementing application-api.
+  Swithching from the program "GNUTAR" to the application "amgtar" have some
+  advantage:
+   - amgtar use by default the gtar --atime-preserve=system option, you must
+     disable it if you gtar relase doesn't have that option.
+   - Can be configured to cross filesystem.
+   - Can be configured to not check the device number on newer gtar
+     (--no-check-device of gtar).
+   - You can configure error message from gtar you don't want to see in the
+     report.
+
+amzfs-snapshot, script-email
+  Two new scripts implementing script-api.
+  The 'zfs-snapshot' script must be used only with the 'amgtar' application.
+
+amarchiver
+  New program to manipulate file in amanda archive format.
+
+New perl Module:
+  Application (perl utility functions for Applications)
+  Archive (Perl access to the  amanda archive library)
+  Constants (perl access to build-time configuration values)
+  MainLoop (Perl interface to the Glib MainLoop)
+  Process (interface to process), used by amcleanup.
+  Script (perl utility functions for Scripts)
+  Tapelist (Manipulate the Amanda tapelist)
+  Xfer (Xfer-api)
