 9.1 2015/11
 ===========
+ * Fixes a bug when reading a content file with a deleted entry
+   bigger than 4 GB. This was a regression introduced in
+   version 9.0 that could result in the impossibility to read
+   a valid content file, after a deletion of a file bigger than 4 GB
+   in the array.
+   If this happened to you, just upgrading to 9.1 fixes the issue,
+   and it allows you to continue to work.
+   Note that this bug only prevented to run 9.0, but your data was still
+   protected and could have been recovered using the versions 8.1 or 9.1.
  * In Winwdows disables the file zero check requring the --force-zero
    option. This check is intended for possible case using ext3/4 in Linux,
    and there is no evidence that in Windows it's possible at all.
