Hello,


Pre-release time has started for version 2.0.0.
extract from the ChangeLog:
- a configure script allows dar to compiler under Solaris
- new option -H
- dar code has been split to make the libdar library
- an API to libdar is provided (version 1, version 2 is already under 
design thanks to feedback)
- huge speed and memory optimization, thanks to 32 bits or 64 bits 
implementation, see notes about their own limitations.
- special memory allocation to speed up the execution
- several sample scripts and an open convention to share your scripts 
with other users.
- archive over unstable media is possible thanks to Parchive, which is 
integrated through user scripts.
and some other cosmetics changes.

Before final release, I have to finish some part of the documentation, 
but if you already see spelling errors, you are welcome to report then 
as bug. :-)

Pre-release source and binary are available here:

Cheers,
Denis.
