Hello,

from version 1.3.0 to 2.0.0
- using configure script (built with automake & autoconf)
- creation of the libdar library
- API for libdar (version 1)
- updating TUTORIAL
- added chapter in NOTES for ssh / netcat use with dar
- added -H option
- making documentation for API : DOC_API
- speed optimization for dar_manager
- enclosed libdar sources in libdar namespace
- added libdar dynamic library support (using libtool)
- fixed bug in ui_printf. Bug appeared with the shell_interaction split from
    user_interaction (for libdar)
- fixed bug in dar_manager when creating empty database
- changed hourshift implementation (no static variable used anymore)
- changed code not to have dynamic allocation to take place before
main() was
    called
- added compilation time option to replace infinint by 32 bits or 64 bits
    integers
- added special memory allocation (--enable-special-alloc) to better handle
    many small dynamic objects (in the meaning of OOP).
- fix. Dar_manager does no more send all its output to stderr, just
interactive
    messages are sent there.
- changed "dar_manager -u" do not display anymore files present in the
archive
    which have not saved data or EA in the asked archive.
- removed displaying of command-line used for backup ("dar -v -l ...") as it
    is no more becoming inaccurate due to include files and as it would
consume
    too much space if it has to be developed.
- added sample scripts for using dar with Parchive
- now displaying option read from configuration files when using -v option
- added %e and %c for user script parameters
- using UPX to compress binary if available at compilation time
- removed comments put by mistake in 1.3.0 around warning when try to backup
    the archive itself. This revealed a bug, which made the warning be
    issued in some wrong cases.
- removed this previous warning when creating archive on the stdout
- fixed bug #15
- fixed error in libdar sanity checks, where exceptions were not raised
(due
    to the lack of the "throw" keyword)
- fixed bug #16
- changed order of argument passed to dar by dar_manager, for the -x
<archive>
    be before any other option (in particular -B options).
