      </span><br>
      - fixed bug that broke the ability to repair an archive through
      ftp/sftp
      <br>
      =C2=A0(repairing stays possible locally on the machine where reside=
s
      the backup)
      <br>
      - fixed the reading of archive header (in-place field) when the -R
      path
      <br>
      =C2=A0given at creation time was valid or common unix path (/some//=
path
      for
      <br>
      =C2=A0example).
      <br>
      - fixed bug met when reading compressed data with multiple threads
      (-G
      <br>
      =C2=A0option with argument 2 or larger) in sequential read mode.
      <br>
      - fixed bug avoiding dar to repair archives relying on block
      compression,
      <br>
      =C2=A0testing the "repaired" archive lead to reporting corrupted da=
ta
      for all
      <br>
      =C2=A0compressed files and compressed EA.
      <br>
      - disabling min-digits checks for auxiliary and reference backups
      when
      <br>
      =C2=A0they are stored in a remote repository (these checks was avoi=
ding
      using
      <br>
      =C2=A0remote auxiliary and reference backups).
      <br>
      - fixing bug in libcurl adaptation layer to libdar
      (fichier_libcurl) where
      <br>
      =C2=A0while reading, the end of file was not detected properly in v=
ery
      rare
      <br>
      =C2=A0context, leading the encryption layer trying (and failing) to=

      decipher
      <br>
      =C2=A0the clear data located at end of archive.
      <br>
      - fixed bug met when reading a ciphered backup in sequential read
      mode with
      <br>
      =C2=A0the help of an external catalog (the few first data and EA we=
re
      reported
      <br>
      =C2=A0as corrupted in sequential read mode, not in direct read mode=
 or
      without
      <br>
      =C2=A0the help of an external catalog).
      <br>
      - fixing bug in non-regression test routines, which, once fixed,
      revealed
      <br>
      =C2=A0the following bugs (about sequential reading mode):
      <br>
      - reading a encrypted and sliced archive in sequential-read mode
      lead dar
      <br>
      =C2=A0asking for the an after-last non existing slice at the end of=
 the
      <br>
      =C2=A0operation.
      <br>
      - comparing an archive having binary delta patch for a file failed
      in
      <br>
      =C2=A0sequential read mode with self reporting bug in cat_file.cpp =
line
      1479
      <br>
      - fixing multi-threaded deciphering when reaching the end of the
      archive
      <br>
      =C2=A0and if a skip() instruction is given from the master thread t=
o
      change
      <br>
      =C2=A0reading position (bug type message at parallel_tronconneuse.c=
pp
      line 662
      <br>
      =C2=A0was reported).
      <br>
      - fixing bug in archive class implementation met when comparing an
      archive
      <br>
      =C2=A0with filesystem in sequential read mode with the help of an
      isolated
      <br>
      =C2=A0catalogue. In such context, the hard linked inode can only be=

      compared
      <br>
      =C2=A0at the first hard link encountered, other occurrence are skip=
ped.
      The
      <br>
      =C2=A0isolated catalog gave a wrong information as it was read in
      direct mode
      <br>
      =C2=A0while fetching the data and EA to compare were read in sequen=
tial
      mode
      <br>
      =C2=A0without the ability to skip back to re-read a hard linked ino=
de,
      this
      <br>
      =C2=A0caused the second time comparison to be reported as failed
      instead of
      <br>
      =C2=A0being flagged as skipped.
      <br>
      - fixing bug met when restoring gpg signed archive in sequential
      read
      <br>
      =C2=A0mode, where dar/libdar reported failed restoring EA and/or FS=
A
      for some
      <br>
      =C2=A0directories.
      <br>
      - fixing bug met when reading archive summary (-l and -q options)
      in
      <br>
      =C2=A0sequential read mode on sliced archive (was asking for the la=
st
      slice
      <br>
      =C2=A0due to skip at end of archive while in sequential read mode)
