-------

from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2
* fixed bug met when a user command returns an error while dar is
  saving fsa attributes of inodes (this conjunction make it an infrequent
  situation)
* fixed typo in documentation
* fixed remaining bug from 2.7.1 met when compiling dar/libdar with a
  compiler (clang-5.0 here) that requires a flag to activate C++14 support
  while complaining (for a good reason) when this flag is passed too while
  compiling C code.
* fixed self reported bug escape.cpp line 858 met when using lzo compression
  or multi-threaded compression while creating a backup to stdout.
* fixed bug met when creating a backup to stdout that lead libdar to corrupt
  data when trying to re-save a file uncompressed due to poor compression
  result
* fixed minor bug met when setting --mincompr to zero and using
  block_compressor (lzo algo or any algo in block compression): empty files
  were reported as truncated due to the lack of block header (compressed
  empty file being stored as an empty file)
