Recent releases

Changes: The CRC algorithm was changed from ELF CRC32 to Adler32 (hooks were left in for backwards compatibility). Many things (including the header) were changed to support files larger than 2GB. There is now a `libdact' but no useful symbols are exported yet (an API is still being developed). The shared object check was fixed to work properly on Cygwin. Win32 support through MingW32 is now a lot more mature and actually works.
