- -------

from 2.4.11 to 2.4.12
- - for correctness fixed delete vs delete[] on vector of char (not
  incidence reported)
- - fixed out of range access in routine used to read very old archive
  format
- - fixed error in logical expression leading a sanity test to be useless
- - removed duplicated variable assignment
- - updated FAQ
- - fixed typo and spelling errors
- - fixed bug (reported by Torsten Bronger) in the escape layer leading
  libdar to wrongly reporting a file as corrupted at reading time
- - fixed bug in the sparse file detection mechanism that lead the
  minimum size hole detection to become a multiple of the default value
  or specified one. This implied a less efficient reduction of sparse
  files because smaller holes in files were ignored
- - fixed and updated man page about --go-into option
- - updated full-from-diff target in /etc/darrc default file
- - added a debug option in hash_file class (option only used from testing
  tools) to troubleshoot sha1/md5 hash problem on slices larger than
  (2**38)+63 bytes, bug reported by Mike Lenzen and understood by Yuriy
  Kaminskiy at libgcrypt. Note: This bug is still open due to an integer
  overflow in libgcrypt.
- - backported from current development code an additional and more simple
  way to read an archive using the libdar API. This API extension is
  not used by dar command-line tools for now.
- - Fixing installation of libdar header files on Darwin, where "DARwin"
  macros were not filtered out from the generated libdar header files.
- - Fixing self reported bug 'generic_file.cpp line 309' met while
  comparing an archive with a filesystem
- - Update code in order to compile with gcc-4.8.2 in g++11 mode (partial
  implementation and adaptation of Fabian Stanke's patch)
- - Fixing bug met while performing a verbose archive listing in
  sequential read mode
- - Added Ryan Schmidt's Patch to properly display status at end of
  ./configure script under BSD systems (in particular Mac OS X)
- - Updating configure.ac script to fix warning reported by autoconf when
  generating the ./configure script
- - Addressed portability problem with BSD systems that do not provide a
  -d option to the 'cp' command, preventing proper installation of the
  Doxygen documentation. Fix based on patch provided by Jan Gosmann.
