This is identical to 2.4.13 - except it contains a one-line fix to the uname/gname problem - introduced by the Feb 25 UTF-8 fix. This bug makes libarchive - refuse to add a file to a pax archive if it has a valid gname - but not a valid uname. In some cases, it can also cause the - uname to be stored for the gname. - -Feb 26, 2008: libarchive 2.4.13 released -Feb 25, 2008: Handle path, linkname, gname, or uname that can't be converted - to/from UTF-8.

After this update, bsdcpio_test uncovered - several more cosmetic issues in bsdcpio, all now fixed. -Jan 22, 2008: Experimental support for self-extracting Zip archives. -Jan 22, 2008: Extend hardlink restore strategy to work correctly with - hardlinks extracted from newc cpio files. (Which store the body - only with the last occurrence of a link.) - -Dec 30, 2007: libarchive 2.4.11 released -Dec 30, 2007: Fixed a compile error in bsdcpio on some systems. - -Dec 29, 2007: libarchive 2.4.10 released -Dec 29, 2007: bsdcpio 0.9.0 is ready for wider use. -Dec 29, 2007: Completed initial test harness for bsdcpio. - -Dec 22, 2007: libarchive 2.4.9 released -Dec 22, 2007: Implement the remaining options for bsdcpio: -a, -q, -L, -f, - pattern selection for -i and -it. - -Dec 13, 2007: libarchive 2.4.8 released -Dec 13, 2007: gzip and bzip2 compression now handle zero-byte writes correctly, - Thanks to Damien Golding for bringing this to my attention. - -Dec 12, 2007: libarchive 2.4.7 released - -Dec 10, 2007: libarchive 2.4.6 released -Dec 09, 2007: tar/test/test_copy.c verifies "tar -c | tar -x" copy pipeline -Dec 07, 2007: Fix a couple of minor memory leaks. - -Dec 04, 2007: libarchive 2.4.5 released -Dec 04, 2007: Fix cpio/test/test_write_odc by setting the umask first. - -Dec 03, 2007: libarchive 2.4.4 released -Dec 03, 2007: New configure options --disable-xattr and --disable-acl, - thanks to Samuli Suominen. - -Dec 03, 2007: libarchive 2.4.3 released -Dec 03, 2007: Thanks to Lapo Luchini for sending me a ZIP file that - libarchive couldn't handle.

(Thanks to Jan Psota for - publishing his performance test results to GNU tar's bug-tar - mailing list; those results pointed me towards this problem.) -Oct 27, 2007: Fix for skipping archive entries that are exactly - a multiple of 4G on 32-bit platforms. -Oct 25, 2007: Fix for reading very large (>8G) tar archives; this was - broken when I put in support for new GNU tar sparse formats. -Oct 20, 2007: Initial work on new pattern-matching code for cpio; I - hope this eventually replaces the code currently in bsdtar. - -Oct 08, 2007: libarchive 2.3.4 released -Oct 05, 2007: Continuing work on bsdcpio test suite. -Oct 05, 2007: New cpio.5 manpage, updates to "History" of bsdcpio.1 and - bsdtar.1 manpages. -Oct 05, 2007: Fix zip reader to immediately return EOF if you try - to read body of non-regular file.

(archive_read_extract() - worked okay because it held onto the passed-in entry, but - direct consumers of archive_write_disk would break). This - required fixing archive_entry_clone(), which now works and has - a reasonably complete test case. -May 10, 2007: Skeletal cpio implementation. - -May 06, 2007: libarchive 2.2.1 released -May 06, 2007: Flesh out a lot more of test_entry.c so as to catch - problems such as the device node breakage before releasing <sigh>. -May 05, 2007: Fix a bad bug introduced in 2.1.9 that broke device - node entries in tar archives. -May 03, 2007: Move 'struct stat' out of archive_entry core as well. - This removes some portability headaches and fixes a bunch - of corner cases that arise when manipulating archives on - dissimilar systems. - -Apr 30, 2007: libarchive 2.1.10 released -Apr 31, 2007: Minor code cleanup. - -Apr 24, 2007: libarchive 2.1.9 released -Apr 24, 2007: Fix some recently-introduced problems with libraries - (Just let automake handle it and it all works much better.) - Finish isolating major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry.c. - -Apr 23, 2007: libarchive 2.1.8 released -Apr 23, 2007: Minor fixes found from building on MacOS X - -Apr 22, 2007: libarchive 2.1.7 released -Apr 22, 2007: Eliminated all uses of 'struct stat' from the - format readers/writers. This should improve portability; - 'struct stat' is now only used in archive_entry and in - code that actually touches the disk. - -Apr 17, 2007: libarchive 2.1.6 released - Libarchive now compiles and passes all tests on Interix. - -Apr 16, 2007: libarchive 2.1.5 released - -Apr 15, 2007: libarchive 2.1b2 released -Apr 15, 2007: New libarchive_internals.3 documentation of internal APIs. - Not complete, but should prove helpful. -Apr 15, 2007: Experimental "read_compress_program" and "write_compress_program" - for using libarchive with external compression.

(ACL restores and - libarchive support for storing/reading ACLs from pax - archives was unaffected.) - -Mar 02, 2007: libarchive 2.0.20 released -Mar 2, 2007: It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. - Libarchive 2.0 is officially out of beta. - -Feb 28, 2007: libarchive 2.0b17 released -Feb 27, 2007: Make the GID restore checks more robust by checking - whether the current user has too few or too many privileges. - -Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b15 released -Feb 26, 2007: Don't lose symlinks when extracting from ISOs. - Thanks to Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò for telling me about the - broken testcase on Gentoo that (finally!) led me to the cause - of this long-standing bug. - -Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b14 released -Feb 26, 2007: Fix a broken test on platforms that lack lchmod(). - -Feb 25, 2007: libarchive 2.0b13 released -Feb 25, 2007: Empty archives were being written as empty files, - without a proper end-of-archive marker. Fixed. - -Feb 23, 2007: libarchive 2.0b12 released -Feb 22, 2007: Basic security checks added: _EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT - and _EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINK. These checks used to be in bsdtar, - but they belong down in libarchive where they can be used by - other tools and where they can be better optimized. - -Feb 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0b11 released -Feb 10, 2007: Fixed a bunch of errors in libarchive's handling - of EXTRACT_PERM and EXTRACT_OWNER, especially relating - to SUID and SGID bits. - -Jan 31, 2007: libarchive 2.0b9 released -Jan 31, 2007: Added read support for "empty" archives as a - distinct archive format. Bsdtar uses this to handle, e.g., - "touch foo.tar; tar -rf foo.tar" - -Jan 22, 2007: libarchive 2.0b6 released -Jan 22, 2007: archive_write_disk API is now in place. It provides - a finer-grained interface than archive_read_extract. In particular, - you can use it to create objects on disk without having an archive - around (just feed it archive_entry objects describing what you - want to create), you can override the uname/gname-to-uid/gid lookups - (minitar uses this to avoid getpwXXX() and getgrXXX() bloat). - -Jan 09, 2007: libarchive 2.0a3 released -Jan 9, 2007: archive_extract is now much better; it handles the - most common cases with a minimal number of system calls. - Some features still need a lot of testing, especially corner - cases involving objects that already exist on disk. I expect - the next round of API overhaul will simplify building test cases. -Jan 9, 2007: a number of fixes thanks to Colin Percival, especially - corrections to the skip() framework and handling of large files. -Jan 9, 2007: Fixes for large ISOs. The code should correctly handle - very large ISOs with entries up to 4G.

Feedback - appreciated; this is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all() - yet as I'm not quite content with the format detection heuristics. -Nov 7, 2005: Some more portability improvements thanks to Darin Broady, - minor bugfixes. -Oct 12, 2005: Use GNU libtool to build shared libraries on many systems. -Aug 9, 2005: Correctly detect that MacOS X does not have POSIX ACLs. -Apr 17, 2005: Kees Zeelenberg has ported libarchive and bsdtar to Windows: - http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ -Apr 11, 2005: Extended Zip/Zip64 support thanks to Dan Nelson. -L/-h - fix from Jaakko Heinonen. -Mar 12, 2005: archive_read_extract can now handle very long - pathnames (I've tested with pathnames up to 1MB). -Mar 12, 2005: Marcus Geiger has written an article about libarchive - http://xsnil.antbear.org/2005/02/05/archive-mit-libarchive-verarbeiten/ - including examples of using it from Objective-C. His MoinX - http://moinx.antbear.org/ desktop Wiki uses - libarchive for archiving and restoring Wiki pages. -Jan 22, 2005: Preliminary ZIP extraction support, - new directory-walking code for bsdtar. -Jan 16, 2005: ISO9660 extraction code added; manpage corrections. -May 22, 2004: Many gtar-compatible long options have been added; almost - all FreeBSD ports extract correctly with bsdtar. -May 18, 2004: bsdtar can read Solaris, HP-UX, Unixware, star, gtar, - and pdtar archives. |
