Hello,

This is implemented and tested. CVS is up to date. If you have no
objections, The API is now frozen (version 3) for the release 2.2.0 that
will come in december I hope. The points that remains to do before the
pre-release phase are :
- - documentation (API, user guide, etc.)
- - password/key from file
- - password/key from keyboard out of command-line
- - some few other strong encryption algorithms
- - LZO compression

the two password/key features do not have any impact on the API (these
are command-line related feature). The LZO and the new cypher support
only add some more values in the "enum compression" and "enum
crypto_algo" enumeration types.

The pre-release target date is the beginning of december. Until that
time, it is still time to fix API problem you could meet, so please give
your feedback before pre-release phase.

For short about API, waiting for an up to date documentation, all calls
you need are in libdar.hpp and archive.hpp. The comments in the theses
header files should help you understand the changes brought from API 2.

Cheers,
Denis.
