Hello,

dar's minor release 2.2.2 is now available. Some minor bug fixes and
documentation update. Here follows an extract from the Changelog file.

Source download is available as usually at sourceforge :
~   http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=65612

Cheers,
Denis.

Changelog from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2:

- - fixed typo in dar man page (flowfish ;-) )
- - -Q option now forces the non terminal mode even when dar is run from a
~  terminal (tty) this makes dar possible to run in background without
~  having the shell stopping it upon text output.
- - removed unused control code for dar's command line syntax
- - spelling fix of the tutorial by Ralph Slooten
- - added the pertinent part of the memory leak patch from Wesley Leggette
~  (there is no bug here as the function where could occur the memory
~   leak is not used in dar).
- - updated FAQ
- - updated man page information about optional argument's syntax to
options like -z9 or --zip 9
- - avoid calls to textdomain() when --disable-nls is set
- - updates doc/NOTES
- - fixed potential memory leakage on some system (to a "new[]" was
~  corresponding a "delete" in place of a "delete[]")
~  In consequences, for API users, note that the following calls
~          - tools_str2charptr
~          - tools_extract_basename
~          - libdar_str2charptr_noexcept
~  all return a char * pointer which area must be released
~  by the caller using the delete[] operator
- - partially integrated Wesley's api_tutorial patch (added explanations)
- - Fixed installation problem of header files, problem reported by
~  Juergen Menden
- - updated the examples programs for they properly initialize libdar
- - the gettext.h file was not installed with libdar headers
- - fixed typo error reported by Peter Landgren
- - updated api_tutorial with compilation & linking informations
- - fixed pedantic warning about some classes inherited from "mask"
~  (the parent copy constructor is not called from inherited copy
~   constructor; note that the parent class is a pure virtual class)
- - added Swedish translation (by Peter Landgren)
- - fixed typo in French translation
- - added a const_cast statment to avoid compilation warning under some
~  systems
- - fixed problem on solaris where the TIME&MIN non canonical parameters
~  for terminal are not set by default to 1 and 0 (but to 4 and 0),
~  leading keyboard interaction to be impossible when dar needs
~  user interaction.
- - added O_BINARY to open() mode in dar_cp, without this will cause some
~  problem under Cygwin.
