- -------

from 2.5.13 to 2.5.14
* made libgcrypt built-in memory guard be initialized before obtaining
  ligcrypt version, to respect libgcrypt usage (but no problem was seen
  nor reported about this inconsistency)
* fixed syntax error in XML listing output (EA_entry and Attributes
  tags)
* fixed typos in dar man page
* Updating Tutorial for restoration
* fixed bugs in dar_split: cygwin support, filedescriptors were not
  explicitly closed at end of execution, allocating buffer on heap
  rather than in the stack for better size flexibility, avoiding buffer
  size to be greater than SSIZE_MAX.
* added -s option to dar_split in order to disable the by default SYNC
  write that was used and which caused poor performance. To keep the
  same behavior as the older dar_split (and its poor performances) you
  need now using -s option.
* dar_split enhancement: added call to syncfs before closing the file
  descriptor in split_output mode
* fixed bug in dar_split that was did not lead dar_split to completely
  fulfill an device before asking for user to change the media when
  used in split_output mode, this was sometimes leading dar reporting
  file as corrupted at dar_split at media boundary.
* added feature in dar_split to show the amount of data written since
  the last media change
