[ANNOUNCE] S3QL 3.7.3 has been released

[Nikolaus Rath]

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce a new release of S3QL, version [PASTE VERSION].

From the changelog:

2021-06-03, S3QL 3.7.3

* Fixed a DATA CORRUPTION bug in fsck.s3ql that caused the recorded size of uploaded
dirty blocks to be rounded up to the next multiple of 512 bytes, effectively appending
up to 512 zero-bytes to the end of affected files.

This problem was introduced in version 3.4.1 (released 2020-05-08) as part of a
seemingly very minor improvement to cache usage calculation.

You can tell that a file has (likely) been affected from fsck.s3ql messages of the
form:

WARNING: Writing dirty block <X> of inode <Y>

followed later by:

WARNING: Size of inode <Y> (<path_to_file>) does not agree with number of blocks, \
setting from <reasonable_size> to <size rounded to next multiple of 512)


The following people have contributed code to this release:

Best,
-Nikolaus
