Release 2.7.21 and 2.8.5 brings several bug fixes which are detailed in 
the extract of the Changelog below.

Note that 2.7.21 and 2.8.5 have the exact same fixes, as such that 
maintenance of 2.7.x train of releases will soon end (in 6 months to 1 
year) while 2.8.5 is now considered as stable as 2.7.x


Thanks to Per Jensen for bug report


Cheers,
Denis Corbin

Changelog extract for both 2.7.21 and 2.8.5:

- fixing bug of one-hour-shift in non-daylight saving months for
   time-zones that have one.
   dar_manager and dar can be given a date (-w option for dar_manager,
   -af option for dar) which is expected to be provided in local time.
   But libdar wrongly assumed it to always be given as summer time (or
   daylight saving time) even when the given date took place in a
   non-daylight saving period (winter time), which led most of the
   time to a shift of one hour in the past in the selected files.
   Dar_manager using the -w option was restoring files older than the
   provided date but forgot the ones having a modification date less
   than one hour before the provided date/time when this date/time
   was not in non-daylight saving period (winter time). Those were
   restored in a earlier state or not restored at all if they did not
   exist before that one hour shifted date.
   With dar using -af option, this led dar to save files after the
   given date as expected but also saving the files older than the
   provided date for less an one hour, when this date was in non-daylight
   saving period (winter time). Other files being saved as expected
   as "un-modified" (only metadata saved).
- fixed one field lack of initialization in archive_options_isolate
   classes (copy and move constructors).
- fixing bug that could occur while more bytes are read than available
