+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.

+ 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.

+amgtar, amstar, amsamba, amzfs-sendrecv
+ Three new programs implementing application-api.
+ Swithching from the program "GNUTAR" to the application "amgtar" have some

+ 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.

+ Two new scripts implementing script-api.
+ The 'zfs-snapshot' script must be used only with the 'amgtar' application.
