+xfsdump-3.0.6 (5 October 2011)
+	- Checksums available in various dump headers have now been
+	  enabled--unconditionally.  Previous Linux versions never
+	  appeared to have generated these.  A bug in generating the
+	  checksum for extended attributes was fixed, and the
+	  presence of this fix is now recorded with a different flag
+	  bit in the attribute header.
+	- Signal handling has been reworked to use a common signal
+	  handler and the POSIX signal API.  It has also been
+	  restructured a bit to be more amenable to a future
+	  conversion to using pthread model.
+	- A number of other changes have been implemented in
+	  preparation for support for multi-threaded dump and
+	  restore.
+	- Exit status for an individual restore stream is now
+	  properly reported to its parent process.
+	- Some areas of code have been refactored and cleaned up
+	  considerably.  Some dead code (always #ifdef'd) code has
+	  been eliminated.  Some other conditionally compiled
+	  code--always included--has been changed to be built
+	  unconditionally.
+	- Some dialogs, which were previously restricted to at most
+	  8 options, are now able to present up to 99.
+	- Ted Ts'o provided some improvements in support of building
+	  in a "hermetic" environment.
+
 xfsdump-3.0.5 (30 March 2011)
 	- Release tags will now be digitally signed
 	- Quota files will now be dumped, regardless of the maxsize

Looks like this covers everything. Just one minor correction below.

Actually there's no realistic limit anymore (whatever fits in
a size_t).

The content looks good, but it's fairly different and much more verbose
style than we traditionally did, which also generally focussed on user
visible changes.

This is how I would have written the log in the "old" style:

xfsdump-3.0.6 (5 October 2011)
	- unconditionally add checksums to various dump headers in
	  xfsdump.
	- verify checksums if present in xfsrestore.
	- use the POSIX signal API instead of the legacy SysV API.
	- various internal cleanups and refactoring in xfsdump and
	  xfsrestore.
	- lift the limit of options in dialogs from 8 to 99.
	- various build system fixes, thanks to Ted Ts'o.

same applies to the other logs.

This is pretty reasonable feedback and I guess not a
surprise to me.  I was sort of throwing these together
at the end of a long day and didn't really distill them
down before sending them out.

I'll take another pass at all of them and will re-post.
Thanks.
