release: ninja v1.7.2

[Nico Weber]

I've tagged a new release of Ninja, version v1.7.1

This is a minor release after v1.7.1, mostly bugfixes.

== Release notes.

* `-t browse` now HTML-escapes rule names (#1157)

* an edge may now have 0 explicit outputs if it has implicit outputs (#1159)

* make misc/measure.py python 3-compatible

* misc/write_fake_manifest.py now optionally writes source files, use it to

  quickly produce large, buildable projects for testing (#1109, #1198)

== Getting this release

To build this release, clone the repository as follows:

  git clone git://github.com/martine/ninja.git

  cd ninja

  git checkout v1.7.2

or grab a tarball from https://github.com/martine/ninja/releases .

Once you have the code, run `./configure.py --bootstrap` to build and then

./ninja --version will print the version number.

https://github.com/martine/ninja/releases will have precompiled

binaries for Linux (64bit), Mac OS X (10.6+, 64bit), and Windows (64bit) soon.

 Can we have a binary release too (especially for Windows)? Thanks -- Hongbo

[Nico Weber]

Yes, as mentioned at the bottom of the announcement, I'm working on it :-) The binaries will be there within 24 hours, I'll update this thread once they're there.

https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases now has binaries.

Thanks!

FYI, The BuckleScript(http://bloomberg.github.io/bucklescript/) community is now working a build system on top of ninja.

And our initial results are very positive ( a very fast compiler + a very fast build : https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2016-11/msg00046.html). 
Compared with other build systems, the main advantages which attract me are:
1. Works reliably on windows, no dependencies
2. Really fast for incremental compilation.

It looks like whatever template you use to generate this message
has not been updated for the "martine => ninja-build" rename.

Thanks! RELEASING says 

  Make announcement on mailing list:

  1. copy old mail

and nobody noticed for 1.7.1. Hopefully your note will be enough to correct this for the next release :-)
