+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.
