Below is a summary (from the doc/CHANGES file) of changes
since release 3.0.4:

xfsdump-3.0.5 (30 March 2011)
	- Release tags will now be digitally signed
	- Quota files will now be dumped, regardless of the maxsize
	  setting
	- The new "-s sessid" flag allows inventory sessions to be
	  pruned by their session ID.
	- Fixed a bug in handling long dump filenames, and dropped
	  (undocumented) support for encoding certain parameters
	  within the dump filename
	- NODECHK is now off by default, meaning xfsrestore will now
	  support 16 times more directory entries (4 billion)
	- nrh_t is now 64 bits wide, allowing xfsrestore to support
	  dumps with up to 4 billion directory entries
	- nix_t is no longer useful, and has been eliminated
	- Memory use in xfsrestore is better managed now.  Segments
	  of nodes are now power-of-2 sized, and allocated nodes are
	  no longer needlessly zeroed and linked into the free list.
	- Pathname resolution in xfsrestore has a number of
	  performance improvements
	- Better checking has been implemented for compatibility
	  when resuming a cumulative restore
	- Build system output has been cleaned up considerably
	- Dead "namreg" code has been removed
	- Build dependencies are now determined automatically
	- Other miscellaneous build system improvements, as well bug
	  fixes thanks to Mike Frysinger and Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz.
