- -------

from 2.5.8 to 2.5.9
- - fixed typos in documentation about dar internal use of symmetric
  encryption
- - fixed bug: merging operation could wrongly melt different unrelated
  hard linked inodes when merging using an archive which results from a
  previous merging operation.
- - fixed bug: aborting an archive was sometimes leading to an unreadable
  archive in direct mode (was readable only in --sequential-read mode)
- - fixed bug: libgpgme was only present at linking time of final binaries
  (dar, dar_slave, dar_xform, dar_manager, dar_cp, dar_split), not at
  linking time of libdar, which caused problem under Linux Rosa distro
  where the "no-undefined" flag is passed to the linker.
- - minor new feature: -ay option has been added to display sizes in bytes
  instead of the default which uses the largest possible unit (Kio, Mio,
  and so on.)
