- -------
from 2.5.16 to 2.5.17
- - bug fix: dar failed to restore EA when file permission to restore
  did not included user write access. Fix consists in temporarily
  adding user write access in order to restore EA and removing this
  extra permission afterward if necessary
- - updated FAQ
- - fixed typos in dar man page
- - fixed bug met when writing slices to a read-only filesystem
- - fixed compilation problem under Solaris
- - fixed typos in dar man page
- - bug fix: self reporting bug in filtre.cpp line 2932 or 2925 depending
  or dar's version (report occurs in a normal but rare condition that
  was not imagined by developer, leading dar to abort the backup)
- - bug fix: wrong evaluation of possibility to seek backward in the
  escape layer (layer managing tape marks) which lead to useless but
  harlmess skip trials in some rare conditions.
