Hi,

source packages and windows binaries for release 2.4.6 are available at:

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/dar/files/dar/2.4.6/

Release 2.4.6 brings several bug fixes which are detailed in the extract
of the Changelog below.

Thanks to Per Grahn for bug report and problem analysis. Thanks to Brian
May I forgot so many times to underline his contribution in porting
dar/libdar to Debian for that many years.

Cheers,
Denis Corbin

- -------

from 2.4.5 to 2.4.6
- - fixed bug met while interrupting compressed archive creation, the
  resulting archive was only readable in --sequential-read mode
- - fixed bug met while reading an interrupted archive in sequential
  reading mode. It lead dar to not release some objects from memory at
  the end of the operation, which displayed an ugly error message from
  libdar self check routine.
- - fixed message reporting unknown system group when converting gid to
  name (was reporting unknown "user" instead of unknown "group")
- - removing the $Id:$ macro from file as we moved from CVS to GIT
- - updating package to distribute Patrick Nagel's scripts and
  documentation
- - updated URL pointing to Patrick Nagel's web site
- - updating documentation describing how to get source code from GIT (no
  more from CVS)
- - fixed typo in configure.ac
- - added info on how to build a brand-new dar tarball from source in GIT
- - modifies the end of messages shown by -h option to point to man page
  for more _options_ rather than _details_
- - replaced &minus; in the HTML generated documentation by a standard
  ASCII dash
- - fixed alignment bug in CRC calculation that lead libdar based
  application to crash on sparc-based systems.
