Dar is a shell command that makes backup of a directory tree and files. Its features include splitting archives over several files, CDs, ZIPs, or floppies, compression, full or differential backups, strong encryption, proper saving and restoration of hard links and extended attributes, remote backup using pipes and external command (such as ssh), and rearrangement of the "slices" of an existing archive. It can now run commands between slices, encrypt archives, and quickly retrieve individual files from differential and full backups. Dar also has external GUI like kdar for Linux, thanks to the well documented API.

Changes:
This release brings 3 minor bugfixes (2 for dar_manager and 1 for dar) and few documentation corrections (fixes for spelling errors, and more detailed information about some points that were reported as not clear). The source code has also received some very minor modifications to cleanly compile with gcc 4.3.
