January 7th, 2013· fixed bug: during differential backup dar saved unchanged hard linked inode when a hard link on that inode was out of the -R root directory. This also has the effect to always save files with long names on NTFS filesystems (!)
· Adapted patch provided by Kevin Wormington (new messages displayed)
· Fixed syntax error in configure script about execinfo detection
· Removed unused AM_ICONV macro from configure script

· updating French message translations
· restricted security warning for plain files and hard linked plain files
· fixed display bug in dar_cp when manipulating files larger than 2 GB
· fixed SEGFAULT met when adding to a dar_manager database an archive which base name is an empty string
· improved error message, reporting the -B included file in which a syntax error has been met
