(ACL restores and 542228753Smm libarchive support for storing/reading ACLs from pax 543228753Smm archives was unaffected.) 544228753Smm 545228753SmmMar 02, 2007: libarchive 2.0.20 released 546228753SmmMar 2, 2007: It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. 547228753Smm Libarchive 2.0 is officially out of beta. 548228753Smm 549228753SmmFeb 28, 2007: libarchive 2.0b17 released 550228753SmmFeb 27, 2007: Make the GID restore checks more robust by checking 551228753Smm whether the current user has too few or too many privileges. 552228753Smm 553228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b15 released 554228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: Don't lose symlinks when extracting from ISOs. 555228753Smm Thanks to Diego "Flameeyes" Petten�� for telling me about the 556228753Smm broken testcase on Gentoo that (finally!) led me to the cause 557228753Smm of this long-standing bug. 558228753Smm 559228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b14 released 560228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: Fix a broken test on platforms that lack lchmod(). 561228753Smm 562228753SmmFeb 25, 2007: libarchive 2.0b13 released 563228753SmmFeb 25, 2007: Empty archives were being written as empty files, 564228753Smm without a proper end-of-archive marker. Fixed. 565228753Smm 566228753SmmFeb 23, 2007: libarchive 2.0b12 released 567228753SmmFeb 22, 2007: Basic security checks added: _EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT 568228753Smm and _EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINK. These checks used to be in bsdtar, 569228753Smm but they belong down in libarchive where they can be used by 570228753Smm other tools and where they can be better optimized. 571228753Smm 572228753SmmFeb 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0b11 released 573228753SmmFeb 10, 2007: Fixed a bunch of errors in libarchive's handling 574228753Smm of EXTRACT_PERM and EXTRACT_OWNER, especially relating 575228753Smm to SUID and SGID bits. 576228753Smm 577228753SmmJan 31, 2007: libarchive 2.0b9 released 578228753SmmJan 31, 2007: Added read support for "empty" archives as a 579228753Smm distinct archive format. Bsdtar uses this to handle, e.g., 580228753Smm "touch foo.tar; tar -rf foo.tar" 581228753Smm 582228753SmmJan 22, 2007: libarchive 2.0b6 released 583228753SmmJan 22, 2007: archive_write_disk API is now in place. It provides 584228753Smm a finer-grained interface than archive_read_extract. In particular, 585228753Smm you can use it to create objects on disk without having an archive 586228753Smm around (just feed it archive_entry objects describing what you 587228753Smm want to create), you can override the uname/gname-to-uid/gid lookups 588228753Smm (minitar uses this to avoid getpwXXX() and getgrXXX() bloat). 589228753Smm 590228753SmmJan 09, 2007: libarchive 2.0a3 released 591228753SmmJan 9, 2007: archive_extract is now much better; it handles the 592228753Smm most common cases with a minimal number of system calls. 593228753Smm Some features still need a lot of testing, especially corner 594228753Smm cases involving objects that already exist on disk. I expect 595228753Smm the next round of API overhaul will simplify building test cases. 596228753SmmJan 9, 2007: a number of fixes thanks to Colin Percival, especially 597228753Smm corrections to the skip() framework and handling of large files. 598228753SmmJan 9, 2007: Fixes for large ISOs. The code should correctly handle 599228753Smm very large ISOs with entries up to 4G. Thanks to Robert Sciuk 600228753Smm for pointing out these issues. 601228753Smm 602228753SmmSep 05, 2006: libarchive 1.3.1 released 603228753SmmSep 5, 2006: Bump version to 1.3 for new I/O wrappers. 604228753SmmSep 4, 2006: New memory and FILE read/write wrappers. 605228753SmmSep 4, 2006: libarchive test harness is now minimally functional; 606228753Smm it's located a few minor bugs in error-handling logic 607228753Smm 608228753SmmAug 17, 2006: libarchive 1.2.54 released 609228753SmmAug 17, 2006: Outline ABI changes for libarchive 2.0; these 610228753Smm are protected behind #ifdef's until I think I've found everything 611228753Smm that needs to change. 612228753SmmAug 17, 2006: Fix error-handling in archive_read/write_close() 613228753Smm They weren't returning any errors before. 614228753SmmAug 17, 2006: Fix recursive-add logic to not trigger if it's not set 615228753Smm Fixes a bug adding files when writing archive to pipe or when 616228753Smm using archive_write_open() directly. 617228753SmmJul 2006: New "skip" handling improves performance extracting 618228753Smm single files from large uncompressed archives. 619228753Smm 620228753SmmMar 21, 2006: 1.2.52 released 621228753SmmMar 21, 2006: Fix -p on platforms that don't have platform-specific 622228753Smm extended attribute code. 623228753SmmMar 20, 2006: Add NEWS file; fill in some older history from other 624228753Smm files. I'll try to keep this file up-to-date from now on. 625228753Smm 626228753SmmOLDER NEWS SUMMARIES 627228753Smm 628228753SmmMar 19, 2006: libarchive 1.2.51 released 629228753SmmMar 18, 2006: Many fixes to extended attribute support, including a redesign 630228753Smm of the storage format to simplify debugging. 631228753SmmMar 12, 2006: Remove 'tp' support; it was a fun idea, but not worth 632228753Smm spending much time on. 633228753SmmMar 11, 2006: Incorporated Jaakko Heinonen's still-experimental support 634228753Smm for extended attributes (Currently Linux-only.). 635228753SmmMar 11, 2006: Reorganized distribution package: There is now one tar.gz 636228753Smm file that builds both libarchive and bsdtar. 637228753SmmFeb 13, 2006: Minor bug fixes: correctly read cpio device entries, write 638228753Smm Pax attribute entry names. 639228753SmmNov 7, 2005: Experimental 'tp' format support in libarchive. Feedback 640228753Smm appreciated; this is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all() 641228753Smm yet as I'm not quite content with the format detection heuristics. 642228753SmmNov 7, 2005: Some more portability improvements thanks to Darin Broady, 643228753Smm minor bugfixes. 644228753SmmOct 12, 2005: Use GNU libtool to build shared libraries on many systems. 645228753SmmAug 9, 2005: Correctly detect that MacOS X does not have POSIX ACLs. 646228753SmmApr 17, 2005: Kees Zeelenberg has ported libarchive and bsdtar to Windows: 647228753Smm http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ 648228753SmmApr 11, 2005: Extended Zip/Zip64 support thanks to Dan Nelson. -L/-h 649228753Smm fix from Jaakko Heinonen. 650228753SmmMar 12, 2005: archive_read_extract can now handle very long 651228753Smm pathnames (I've tested with pathnames up to 1MB). 652228753SmmMar 12, 2005: Marcus Geiger has written an article about libarchive 653228753Smm http://xsnil.antbear.org/2005/02/05/archive-mit-libarchive-verarbeiten/ 654228753Smm including examples of using it from Objective-C. His MoinX 655228753Smm http://moinx.antbear.org/ desktop Wiki uses 656228753Smm libarchive for archiving and restoring Wiki pages. 657228753SmmJan 22, 2005: Preliminary ZIP extraction support, 658228753Smm new directory-walking code for bsdtar. 659228753SmmJan 16, 2005: ISO9660 extraction code added; manpage corrections. 660228753SmmMay 22, 2004: Many gtar-compatible long options have been added; almost 661228753Smm all FreeBSD ports extract correctly with bsdtar. 662228753SmmMay 18, 2004: bsdtar can read Solaris, HP-UX, Unixware, star, gtar, 663228753Smm and pdtar archives. 664
