12302. June 1999
124--------------
125
1261) FIX: {unzip} added one more criteria to make the recognition
127         of macbinary more save.
128
1292) FIX: {unzip} sometimes, archive entries without any extra field
130         caused problems; the default setting of the extra field
131         was not set back to 'unknown' properly.
132
1333) FIX: {zip} Archive filename with invalid characters like '/' gets
134         renamed. However, I do not check the complete path - needs
135         some more work here.
136
1374) FIX: {zip} Filename match was case sensitive.

144
1458) FIX: {zip/unzip 68k only) I have found a wrong compiler setting
146         for the 68k version. Because of this wrong setting the 68k
147         version crashed.

155
1561) CHG: {unzip) switch to latest source level
157         unzip 5.41a beta release
158
1592) ADD: {all} Added message logging support for Syslogd
160        by Brian Bergstrand. Syslogd can be found at
161        http://www.classicalguitar.net/brian/apps/syslogd/
162        This feature is 'under construction'.
163
1643) FIX: {all} many small fixes and code cleanups
165
166
167
168
169Release MacZip ver1.03
17027. March 1999
171--------------
172
1731) CHG: {console} Like Stuffit Expander MacZip quits automatically when
174         used with drag'n drop or as Helper App (Web-Browser).
175
1762) CHG: {console} Since Macintosh users are used to be guided by their
177        software in order not to do something stupid, I added a check
178        to post an extra warning if the options -m and data fork only
179        are both checked.
180        This behavior can be disabled: See Applescript example and
181        "maczip.env".
182
1833) CHG: {zip} switch from immediate deletion to moving to the
184        trash. Immediate deletion is now an option in "maczip.env".
185
1864) CHG: {zip} enhanced progress display.
187
1885) CHG: {zip) switch to latest source level
189         zip 2.3l beta release
190
1916) CHG: {unzip} The zip archive contains file names greater than
192        31 characters. When MacZip tries to unzip the file, the
193        FSpCreate command fails because the filename length is to
194        long. MacZip correct this problem by trying to truncate
195        the file names to the 31 character limit.
196
1977) FIX: {zip/console} A couple of minor fixes
198
1998) CHG: {zip} Switched file-globbing to the Info-ZIP version.

203
204Release MacZip ver1.02
20514. February 1999
206-----------------
207
2081) CHG: {zip} Changed the rule of file inclusion if switch '-X'
209        is set. Following conditions are checked:
210        a) if length of resource-fork is equal zero *and* the
211              length of     data-fork is equal zero include the file.
212        b) if length of resource-fork  greater zero *and* the
213              length of     data-fork is equal zero don't include the file.
214        c) if length of     data-fork  greater zero include the file.
215
2162) CHG: {Console} Some users are very confused by the buttons "START PATH"
217        and "ZIP ARCHIVE". Somehow, it wasn't clear what the intended
218        meaning was. I changed the buttons to more clear labels on
219        them like: "file or folder to compress" and "location of
220        compressed file"
221
2223) CHG: {Console} I changed the menu structure to be more intuitive.
223
2244) FIX: {Console} Found a nasty bug which sometimes caused crashes
225        when the Zip / Unzip Dialogbox was used.
226
2275) CHG: {Console} Handling of file dialog is now a bit more restricted:
228        e.g: it's not possible to select a file if you have to select
229        a folder.

233
234Release MacZip ver1.01
23530. January 1999
236----------------------
237
2381) CHG: {console} The use of the "Current App" mechanism was clumsy
239        and forces the user into the Zip or Unzip modes. This kind
240        of modality is not so good for the command line. It's now
241        neccessary to enter zip or unzip to choose the action.
242
2432) FIX: {console} When Applescript sends quit to MacZip the script
244        that is running shows a spinning cursor and MacZip
245        does not quit.
246
2473) FIX: {console} MacZip gots accidentally the wrong creator code
248        (from BBedit)

259
260
2619. Beta release 06.December.1998
262---------------------------------
263
2641) CHG: {console} The checkbox of Filedialog (for extract path and file path)
265        "Show all files" is now selected by default.
266
2672) CHG: {unzip/standalone} changed prototypes of mac[f]printf() to return
268        an int number (better ANSI conformance);
269
2703) FIX: {unzip} repaired "stdout/stderr" mode of macwrite(). So func
271        MacMessagePrnt() is now obsolete and removed.
272
2734) ADD: {zip/unzip} Compressed Mac3 extra-fields are now supported
274        (Thanks to Christian Spieler)
275
2765) ADD: {unzip} Extraction of ZipIt archive are now supported. This support
277        is not complete: Filenames are correct but folder names are only
278        restored with the public directory names.
279
2806) ADD: {zip/unzip} Improved documentation.
281
2827) FIX: {unzip} Function isZipfile() is completely rewritten.
283
2848) CHG: {zip/unzip) switch to latest source level
285        zip 2.3i beta and unzip 5.4 final release
286
2879) ADD: Applescript event "do_cmd".
288
289Unless there are big bugs found, this release will be the last
290beta release. The final release will come out in January 1999.
291
292
293
294
2958. Beta release 20.November.1998
296---------------------------------
297
2981) CHG: {zip/unzip) switch to latest source level
299        zip 2.3h beta and unzip 5.4 final release
300
3012) ADD: {zip} Zip finds "namelocked" files also, if switch "-S"
302        is set.
303
3043) FIX: {unzip} Function isZipfile() fails if the zip archive
305        has a comment.
306
3074) CHG: {zip} added some small speed improvements to pattern matching and
308        isZipFile() function.
309
3105) FIX: {unzip} Display of comments is fixed.
311        UzpMessagePrnt() is replaced by MacMessagePrnt(). I do not care
312        about ansi-bombs. I'm not sure, so this fix may be changed later.
313
3146) RMV: {unzip} Buildin More capability is removed since it's already built
315        into the GUI-App.
316
317
318
3197. Beta release 09.November.1998
320---------------------------------
321
3221) CHG: {all} switched to Metrowerks Codewarrior Pro 4
323
3242) FIX: {unzip} Display of comments stored in the zip-file is
325        now fixed
326
3273) FIX: {zip} Fixed display of the zip help-screen.
328
3294) CHG: {zip/unzip} Changed special dir 'Re$0urce.Fk' to 'XtraStuf.mac'
330        (see entry at 13.June.1998 item 3). I found it more descriptive for
331        users outside the mac-community.
332
3335) CHG: {all} switched to MoreFiles 1.4.9.
334
3356) CHG: {console} changed behaivor of the file open dialog: The select
336        button is now always enabled.
337
3387) ADD: {all} Environment variables are now supported.
339         Basically, it is possible to add timezone (= TZ environment variable)
340         support here, but it's not yet implemented.
341         See "MacZip.Env" for further info.
342
3438) RMV: {console} Targets "zip only" and "unzip only" are removed.
344
345
346
3476. Beta release 09.September.1998
348---------------------------------
349
350
3511) CHG: {Zip/Unzip} Metrowerks Standardlibrary time funktions are
352        rather broken and incomplete so I was forced to rewrite the
353        funktions: mktime(), localtime(), gmtime() and time().
354
3552) ADD: {Console} Added Pause Funktion for screen output.
356        The Pause-Function is selfadjusting: Count of lines is depending
357        on the window size.
358
3593) CHG: Extra-Field layout is changed: All datas are now in little-endian
360        format (see appnote)
361
3624) ADD: {Console} Added an option to test the archive automatically
363        after zipping. This option is only via Zip-Dialogbox available
364        because it needs the unzip-module also.
365
3665) CHG: {Zip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 2.3f.
367
3686) ADD: {Console} Added (drag'n) drop support. Drop on the MacZip icon.
369        The following situations are supported:
370                    1. drop of one or more zipfiles (action = unzip)
371                       each archive will be extracted in a separate folder
372                    2. drop of a folder (action = zip -r )
373                       The complete folder (inclusive sub-folders)
374                       will be zipped
375        Not (yet) supported is currently: dropping more than one file
376        to compress. Workaround: Put all your files in one folder and
377        drop that folder on MacZip.
378        MacZip recognize zip-archives automatically.
379
380
3815. Beta release 21.Aug.1998
382----------------------------
383
384
3851) ADD: {Console} Userinterface has now a Statusbar to show the
386        Progress.
387
3882) ADD: {Console} It's now possible to stop the run of Zip/Unzip
389        with the well known shortcut [Command] + [.]
390
3913) CHG: {Console} Improved user-entry routine.
392
3934) ADD: {Zip/Unzip} Crypt-code added. It's now possible to
394        encrypt/decrypt archives.
395
3965) RMV: {Unzip} Removed the warning of PKZip/Mac archive.
397        Unzip gets confused with the extra field of PKZip/Mac. So I assume
398        the extra field isn't compatible with Info-ZIP's definition.
399
4006) CHG: switched to Metrowerks Codewarrior Pro 3
401        this includes:
402        - new Universal Interfaces 3.1 Headers
403        - improved codegeneration
404
4057) CHG: {Zip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 2.3e.
406
4078) CHG: {Unzip} changed function names wprintf, wgets .. to macprintf, macgets ..
408        to avoid naming conflict standart library.
409
4109) ADD: {Zip/Unzip} FXinfo, Mac-Pathname, file-dates and Finder-Comments
411        are now stored in the extra-field. Extra-field layout is
412        changed accordingly. Unzip uses now the filename stored in the
413        extra-field when unzipping.
414
41510) CHG: {Unzip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 5.33g.
416
41711) CHG: {Unzip} code is (again) up to date with the latest beta 5.33h.
418
41912) ADD: {Unzip} following switches were added:
420       -J     [MacOS  only] ignore mac extra info. All macintosh
421              info are not restored. Datafork and resource-fork
422              are restored separatly.
423
424       -i     [MacOS  only] ignore filenames stored in mac extra
425              field. Use the most compatible filename stored in
426              the public field.
427
428       -E     [MacOS  only] show mac extra field during restoring
429
43013) ADD: {Zip/Unzip} Charset MacRoman to ISO8859 Latin and vice versa
431
43214) RMV: {Zip} -N option removed. This MacZip crashes using this option.
433         I will fix it later.
434
435
436I think I'm very close for a final release of "MacZip 1.0" :-)
437
438
439
4404. Beta release 27.June.1998
441----------------------------
442
44326.June.1998
444------------
445
4461) FIX: {Zip} extra field size value was wrong.
447
448
449
45025.June.1998
451------------
452
4531) CHG: {Zip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 2.3d.
454        So both modules, zip & unzip, uses now latest beta.
455
4562) ADD: {Zip} added a UT extra-field for better compatibility.
457
4583) CHG: {Unzip} changed the code to find the mac extra-field.
459        Unzip has to look for a mac extra-field because
460        mac-archives has now two extra-fields (UT + M3).
461
4624) CHG: {Unzip} changed the method to move extra-field data to
463        the internal extra-structure.
464        Old method was just BlockMove of the ef_structptr to ef_memptr.
465        This method was dangerous because not all members of the
466        structure seamless aligned. There are may be some fill
467        bytes in the structure depending on the compiler setting.
468
4695) ADD: {Unzip} added a warning if unzipping a ZipIt/PKZip archive.
470        ZipIt/PKZip archives are usually additionally coded somehow.
471        InfoZip's Unzip will *not* decode the files. So extracted
472        files are may be not decoded. (see also 6. and 7.)
473
4746) ADD: ZipIt (the Shareware Tool) has now a new extra-field signature:
475        0x2705. Found in "ZipIt 1.3.8". I added a new macro: EF_ZIPIT2
476
4777) ADD: Added PKWare's extra-field signature: 0xCF77.
478        Found in "PKZIP v2.03". I added a new macro: EF_PKMAC
479
4808) ADD: {console} It's now possible to save all screen outputs
481        to the disk.
482
4839) RMV: {console} this is the first beta without expire-date.
484
485
48616.June.1998
487------------
488
4891) FIX: {Unzip/console} Extract path now defaults to current-dir if
490        no path is given.
491
4922> CHG: {Unzip} creates now a extract-folder by default. This behavior
493        differs to the commandline tool of Unzip on other platforms.
494        However, for a mac-user is this behavior more convenient.
495
496
4973. Beta release 15.June.1998
498----------------------------
499
50015.June.1998
501------------
502
5031) CHG: {unzip/zip} I changed the layout of the extra field
504        to support more data.
505
506
50714.June.1998
508------------
509
5101) FIX: {Unzip} adjusted time_t value with an correct offset value.
511
5122) FIX: {Unzip} removed all unused code based on unfinished ideas by
513        former porter(s).
514
5153) CHG: use of shared code izshr 032.
516
51713.June.1998
518------------
519
5201) FIX: {Unzip} Filenames are only converted when needed. When zipping
521        with the switch 'datafork only' the filenames are shorted which
522        was wrong.
523
5242) CHG: {Unzip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 5.33f.
525
5263) CHG: {Zip} Changed the naming rule of filenames from old Johnny Lee's
527        to my implementation. Johnny Lee's idea is based on change of the
528        filenames which cases several problems when unziping on a non mac
529        plattform. My idea is to add a special directory: 'Re$0urce.Fk'.
530        For the future: Zip will create archives according the new nameing
531        rule. However unzip will be compatible with old nameing rule.
