Changes in release 2.5.0

* Communication security/authentication: Kerberos 4/5, OpenSSH
* Data security: Symmetric/Assymetric encrytion algorithms (aesutil
  and gpg encryption),  Encryption can be done on server or client,
  Custom encryption utilities can be used.
* Compression: Ability to add custom compression tools. This is a
  really useful feature especially since it can specified for a DLE.  You
  can use different compression algorithm for images, binaries, ascii files
  and so on.
* Dump images spanning multiple media volumes - Dump images are no
  longer restricted to a single media volume (tape or vtape).  Data restoration
  can be done using amrecover and amfetchdump commands.
* Auto tape labelling - This optional feature is good for disk backups.

  k=kilo, m=mega, g=giga, t=tera.
* new amoverview -skipmissed option.

Change in release 2.4.5b1

* holding disk disk use timestamped directory.
* autoflush flush today's dump.
* new bumppercent global option, this should improve bumping criteria,

  and large disk.
* bumpsize, bumppercent, bumpdays and bumpmult can be in a dumptype.
* calcsize support include and exclude like gnutar.
* new 'estimate' dumptype option to select estimate type:
    CLIENT: estimate by the dumping program.
    CALCSIZE: estimate by the calcsize program, a lot faster but less acurate.
    SERVER: estimate based on statistic from previous run, take second but
            can be wrong on the estimate size.
