- -------
Changes from 2.4.9 to 2.4.10
- - fixing libdar about dar_manager database corruption that occurred when
  deleting the first archive of a base containing a plain file only
  existing in that first archive.
- - Added code to cleanup databases instead of aborting and reporting
  that previously described type of database corruption.
- - Added feature when comparing archive with filesystem in order to
  report the offset of the first difference found in a file. This was
  necessary to help solving the following bug:
- - fixed bug in sparse file detection mechanism that could lead in some
  very particular (and rare) situations to the loss of one byte from
  file being saved. In that case testing the archive reported a CRC
  error for that file. So if you keep testing archives in your backup
  process and have not detect any problem, you can then keep relying on
  your old backups. This bug also expressed when merging archives: dar
  aborted and reported that a merged file had a different CRC than the
  one stored in the archive of reference.
