+ Release Notes for amanda-3.2.0
+
+* Support for multiple simultaneous writes to storage devices
+ o Can write to all available drives in parallel.
+ o Works only with the new changer API.
+ o Useful if two or more volumes are used in a single run.
+ o dump direct to tape can be scheduled any time during the run,
+ previously they were done sequencially after all dump to holding disk.
+ o enabled with the new 'taper-parallel-write' configuration option.
+* Support for LEOM in storage devices
+ o allows splitting without partial parts, saving space
+ o much more efficient, since parts need not be cached on disk in most
+ cases
+* new, simpler splitting commands in the tapetype section:
+ part-size, part-cache-type, part-cache-dir, part-cache-max-size; see
+ amanda.conf(5) for details
+* Amanda server configuration file changes (amanda.conf)
+ o new configuration keyword:
+ + taper-parallel-write -- How many drive amanda can write to
+ in parallel.
+ o deprecated configuration keywords:
+ + amrecover_do_fsf
+ + amrecover_check_label
+* the CONFIG parameter to amidxtaped is now required; this means that
+ versions of amrecover older than 2.4.3 will be unable to recover from
+ servers running Amanda-3.2 and later.
+* The new dumptype and global parameters 'recovery-limit' can be used to
+ limit which hosts may recover from a particular DLE. See amanda.conf(5)
+ and amanda-auth(7) for more information.
+* Several old changers have been removed - these changers will work with
+ Amanda for the forseeable future, but are no longer included in the
+ distribution.
+ o chg-chio
+ o chg-chs
+ o chg-iomega
+ o chg-juke
+ o chg-mcutil
+ o chg-mtx
+ o chg-null (use the new "chg-null:")
+ o chg-rait (use the new "chg-rait:{dev1,dev2}")
+ o chg-rth
+ o chg-scsi-chio
+ o chg-scsi
+* Amvault is much improved, but still experimental:
+ o supports assembling split parts on the source volume and re-splitting
+ them on the destination
+ o supports filtering dumps with the same syntax as amfetchdump
+ o a --fulls-only option skips all incremental dumps on the source
+ o an --export option tries to move tertiary volumes to import/export
+ slots when completed
+ o command-line syntax has changed incompatibly; see manpage or
+ 'amvault --help'
+* Rewritten and improved:
+ o amoverview
+ o amcheckdump

+ 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
+ Rewritten with new command-line interface; see NEWS
+
+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
- Four new programs implementing application-api.
+ 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
