  • dar release 2.3.8 is available

    This release brings several bug fixes:

    - fixed bug in libdar met when user supply an empty file as a list of file to
    include or exclude ( -[ and -] options )
    - fixed bug concerning elastic buffers used beside strong encryption. No
    security issue here, just in some almost rare situations the generated archive
    was not readable (testing your archive prevents you loosing data in this
    situation)
    - added some speed optimizations
    - avoided warning to appear without -v option set, when an error is met while
    fetching value of nodump flag (flag not supported on filesystem for example).

  • Suspending development up to April 2008 / Bug fix Maintained

    Hello,

    Due to personal constraints, I must suspend development of dar 2.4.0 up to next April.

    I will still maintain dar 2.3.x and fix reported bugs. I will probably be much less active on dar-support mailing-list during this period.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Denis.
