Feedback 576228753Smm appreciated. 577228753Smm 578228753SmmApr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.31 released 579228753SmmApr 14, 2007: More fixes for Interix, more 'ar' work 580228753Smm 581228753SmmApr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.30 released 582228753SmmApr 13, 2007: libarchive now enforces trailing '/' on dirs 583228753Smm written to tar archives 584228753Smm 585228753SmmApr 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.29 released 586228753SmmApr 11, 2007: Make it easier to statically configure for different platforms. 587228753SmmApr 11, 2007: Updated config.guess, config.sub, libtool 588228753Smm 589228753SmmApr 06, 2007: libarchive 2.0.28 released 590228753SmmApr 06, 2007: 'ar' format read/write support thanks to Kai Wang. 591228753Smm 592228753SmmApr 01, 2007: libarchive 2.0.27 released 593228753SmmMar 31, 2007: Several minor fixes from Colin Percival and Joerg Sonnenberger. 594228753Smm 595228753SmmMar 12, 2007: libarchive 2.0.25 released 596228753SmmMar 12, 2007: Fix broken --unlink flag. 597228753Smm 598228753SmmMar 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.24 released 599228753SmmMar 10, 2007: Correct an ACL blunder that causes any ACL with an entry 600228753Smm that refers to a non-existent user or group to not be restored correctly. 601228753Smm The fix both makes the parser more tolerant (so that archives created 602228753Smm with the buggy ACLs can be read now) and corrects the ACL formatter. 603228753SmmMar 10, 2007: More work on test portability to Linux. 604228753Smm 605228753SmmMar 10, 2007: libarchive 2.0.22 released 606228753SmmMar 10, 2007: Header cleanups; added linux/fs.h, removed 607228753Smm some unnecessary headers, added #include guards in bsdtar. 608228753Smm If you see any obvious compile failures from this, let me know. 609228753SmmMar 10, 2007: Work on bsdtar test scripts: not yet robust enough 610228753Smm to enable as part of "make check", but getting better. 611228753SmmMar 10, 2007: libarchive now returns ARCHIVE_FAILED when 612228753Smm a header write fails in a way that only affects this item. 613228753Smm Less bad than ARCHIVE_FATAL, but worse than ARCHIVE_WARN. 614228753Smm 615228753SmmMar 07, 2007: libarchive 2.0.21 released 616228753SmmMar 07, 2007: Add some ACL tests (only for the system-independent 617228753Smm portion of the ACL support for now). 618228753SmmMar 07, 2007: tar's ability to read ACLs off disk got 619228753Smm turned off for FreeBSD; re-enable it. (ACL restores and 620228753Smm libarchive support for storing/reading ACLs from pax 621228753Smm archives was unaffected.) 622228753Smm 623228753SmmMar 02, 2007: libarchive 2.0.20 released 624228753SmmMar 2, 2007: It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. 625228753Smm Libarchive 2.0 is officially out of beta. 626228753Smm 627228753SmmFeb 28, 2007: libarchive 2.0b17 released 628228753SmmFeb 27, 2007: Make the GID restore checks more robust by checking 629228753Smm whether the current user has too few or too many privileges. 630228753Smm 631228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b15 released 632228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: Don't lose symlinks when extracting from ISOs. 633228753Smm Thanks to Diego "Flameeyes" Petten�� for telling me about the 634228753Smm broken testcase on Gentoo that (finally!) led me to the cause 635228753Smm of this long-standing bug. 636228753Smm 637228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b14 released 638228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: Fix a broken test on platforms that lack lchmod(). 639228753Smm 640228753SmmFeb 25, 2007: libarchive 2.0b13 released 641228753SmmFeb 25, 2007: Empty archives were being written as empty files, 642228753Smm without a proper end-of-archive marker. Fixed. 643228753Smm 644228753SmmFeb 23, 2007: libarchive 2.0b12 released 645228753SmmFeb 22, 2007: Basic security checks added: _EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT 646228753Smm and _EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINK. These checks used to be in bsdtar, 647228753Smm but they belong down in libarchive where they can be used by 648228753Smm other tools and where they can be better optimized. 649228753Smm 650228753SmmFeb 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0b11 released 651228753SmmFeb 10, 2007: Fixed a bunch of errors in libarchive's handling 652228753Smm of EXTRACT_PERM and EXTRACT_OWNER, especially relating 653228753Smm to SUID and SGID bits. 654228753Smm 655228753SmmJan 31, 2007: libarchive 2.0b9 released 656228753SmmJan 31, 2007: Added read support for "empty" archives as a 657228753Smm distinct archive format. Bsdtar uses this to handle, e.g., 658228753Smm "touch foo.tar; tar -rf foo.tar" 659228753Smm 660228753SmmJan 22, 2007: libarchive 2.0b6 released 661228753SmmJan 22, 2007: archive_write_disk API is now in place. It provides 662228753Smm a finer-grained interface than archive_read_extract. In particular, 663228753Smm you can use it to create objects on disk without having an archive 664228753Smm around (just feed it archive_entry objects describing what you 665228753Smm want to create), you can override the uname/gname-to-uid/gid lookups 666228753Smm (minitar uses this to avoid getpwXXX() and getgrXXX() bloat). 667228753Smm 668228753SmmJan 09, 2007: libarchive 2.0a3 released 669228753SmmJan 9, 2007: archive_extract is now much better; it handles the 670228753Smm most common cases with a minimal number of system calls. 671228753Smm Some features still need a lot of testing, especially corner 672228753Smm cases involving objects that already exist on disk. I expect 673228753Smm the next round of API overhaul will simplify building test cases. 674228753SmmJan 9, 2007: a number of fixes thanks to Colin Percival, especially 675228753Smm corrections to the skip() framework and handling of large files. 676228753SmmJan 9, 2007: Fixes for large ISOs. The code should correctly handle 677228753Smm very large ISOs with entries up to 4G. Thanks to Robert Sciuk 678228753Smm for pointing out these issues. 679228753Smm 680228753SmmSep 05, 2006: libarchive 1.3.1 released 681228753SmmSep 5, 2006: Bump version to 1.3 for new I/O wrappers. 682228753SmmSep 4, 2006: New memory and FILE read/write wrappers. 683228753SmmSep 4, 2006: libarchive test harness is now minimally functional; 684228753Smm it's located a few minor bugs in error-handling logic 685228753Smm 686228753SmmAug 17, 2006: libarchive 1.2.54 released 687228753SmmAug 17, 2006: Outline ABI changes for libarchive 2.0; these 688228753Smm are protected behind #ifdef's until I think I've found everything 689228753Smm that needs to change. 690228753SmmAug 17, 2006: Fix error-handling in archive_read/write_close() 691228753Smm They weren't returning any errors before. 692228753SmmAug 17, 2006: Fix recursive-add logic to not trigger if it's not set 693228753Smm Fixes a bug adding files when writing archive to pipe or when 694228753Smm using archive_write_open() directly. 695228753SmmJul 2006: New "skip" handling improves performance extracting 696228753Smm single files from large uncompressed archives. 697228753Smm 698228753SmmMar 21, 2006: 1.2.52 released 699228753SmmMar 21, 2006: Fix -p on platforms that don't have platform-specific 700228753Smm extended attribute code. 701228753SmmMar 20, 2006: Add NEWS file; fill in some older history from other 702228753Smm files. I'll try to keep this file up-to-date from now on. 703228753Smm 704228753SmmOLDER NEWS SUMMARIES 705228753Smm 706228753SmmMar 19, 2006: libarchive 1.2.51 released 707228753SmmMar 18, 2006: Many fixes to extended attribute support, including a redesign 708228753Smm of the storage format to simplify debugging. 709228753SmmMar 12, 2006: Remove 'tp' support; it was a fun idea, but not worth 710228753Smm spending much time on. 711228753SmmMar 11, 2006: Incorporated Jaakko Heinonen's still-experimental support 712228753Smm for extended attributes (Currently Linux-only.). 713228753SmmMar 11, 2006: Reorganized distribution package: There is now one tar.gz 714228753Smm file that builds both libarchive and bsdtar. 715228753SmmFeb 13, 2006: Minor bug fixes: correctly read cpio device entries, write 716228753Smm Pax attribute entry names. 717228753SmmNov 7, 2005: Experimental 'tp' format support in libarchive. Feedback 718228753Smm appreciated; this is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all() 719228753Smm yet as I'm not quite content with the format detection heuristics. 720228753SmmNov 7, 2005: Some more portability improvements thanks to Darin Broady, 721228753Smm minor bugfixes. 722228753SmmOct 12, 2005: Use GNU libtool to build shared libraries on many systems. 723228753SmmAug 9, 2005: Correctly detect that MacOS X does not have POSIX ACLs. 724228753SmmApr 17, 2005: Kees Zeelenberg has ported libarchive and bsdtar to Windows: 725228753Smm http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ 726228753SmmApr 11, 2005: Extended Zip/Zip64 support thanks to Dan Nelson. -L/-h 727228753Smm fix from Jaakko Heinonen. 728228753SmmMar 12, 2005: archive_read_extract can now handle very long 729228753Smm pathnames (I've tested with pathnames up to 1MB). 730228753SmmMar 12, 2005: Marcus Geiger has written an article about libarchive 731228753Smm http://xsnil.antbear.org/2005/02/05/archive-mit-libarchive-verarbeiten/ 732228753Smm including examples of using it from Objective-C.
