- -------
from 2.6.4 to 2.6.5
* fixed bug: dar crashed when the HOME environment variable was not
  defined (for example running dar from crontab)
* removed useless skip() in cache layer
* cache layer improvement, flushing write pending data before asking
  lower layer about skippability
* fixed bug met when several consecutive compressed files were asked to
  be compressed and failed getting reduced in size by libdar. In that
  situation as expected, libdar tries to skip backward and stores the
  file uncompressed. However the cache layer was introducing an offset
  of a few bytes leading the next file to be written over the end of the
  previous one, which dar reported as data corruption when testing the
  archive.
* updating licensing information with the new address of the FSF
* clarifying message about possibly truncated filename returned by the
  operating system
