1 2Apr 16, 2009: libarchive 2.7.0 released 3 4Apr 10, 2009: libarchive 2.6.992a released 5Apr 09, 2009: Fix SIGPIPE issue building with MSVC. 6Apr 09, 2009: Fix several minor memory leaks in libarchive and libarchive_test 7 8Apr 08, 2009: libarchive 2.6.991a released 9Apr 07, 2009: Additional tests added to bsdcpio_test 10 11Apr 01, 2009: libarchive 2.6.990a released 12Apr 01, 2009: Use command-line gunzip, bunzip2, unxz, unlzma for 13 decompression if the library is built without suitable 14 libraries. The setup functions return ARCHIVE_WARN 15 in this case so clients can adapt if necessary. 16Apr 01, 2009: Use getpw*_r and getgr*_r functions for thread-safety. 17Mar 24, 2009: Add archive_read_next_header2(), which is up to 25% 18 more efficient for some clients; from Brian Harring. 19Mar 22, 2009: PDF versions of manpages are now included in the distribution. 20Mar, 2009: Major work to improve Cygwin build by Charles Wilson. 21Feb/Mar, 2009: Major work on cmake build support, mostly by Michihiro NAKAJIMA. 22Feb/Mar, 2009: Major work on Visual Studio support by Michihiro NAKAJIMA. 23 All tests now pass. 24Feb 25, 2009: Fix Debian Bug #516577 25Feb 21, 2009: Yacc is no longer needed to build; date parser rewritten in C. 26Jan/Feb, 2009: Mtree work by Michihiro. 27Feb, 2009: Joliet support by Andreas Henriksson. 28Jan/Feb, 2009: New options framework by Michihiro. 29Feb, 2009: High-res timestamps on Tru64, AIX, and GNU Hurd, by Björn Jacke. 30Jan 18, 2009: Extended attributes work on FreeBSD and Linux now with pax format. 31Jan 07, 2009: New archive_read_disk_entry_from_file() knows about ACLs, 32 extended attributes, etc so that bsdtar and bsdcpio don't require 33 such system-specific knowledge. 34Jan 03, 2009: Read filter system extensively refactored. In particular, 35 read filter pipelines are now built out automatically and individual 36 filters should be much easier to implement. Documentation on the 37 Googlecode Wiki explains how to implement new filters. 38Dec 28, 2008: Many Windows/Visual Studio fixes from Michihiro NAKAJIMA. 39 40Dec 28, 2008: Main libarchive development moved from FreeBSD Perforce 41 server to Google Code. This should make it easier for more 42 people to participate in libarchive development. 43 44Dec 28, 2008: libarchive 2.6.0 released 45Dec 25, 2008: libarchive 2.5.905a released 46Dec 10, 2008: libarchive 2.5.904a released 47Dec 04, 2008: libarchive 2.5.903a released 48Nov 09, 2008: libarchive 2.5.902a released 49Nov 08, 2008: libarchive 2.5.901a released 50Nov 08, 2008: Start of pre-release testing for libarchive 2.6 51 52Nov 07, 2008: Read filter refactor: The decompression routines just 53 consume and produce arbitrarily-sized blocks. The reblocking 54 from read_support_compression_none() has been pulled into the 55 read core. Also, the decompression bid now makes multiple 56 passes and stacks read filters. 57Oct 21, 2008: bsdcpio: New command-line parser. 58Oct 19, 2008: Internal read_ahead change: short reads are now an error 59Oct 06, 2008: bsdtar: option parser no longer uses getopt_long(), 60 gives consistent option parsing on all platforms. 61Sep 19, 2008: Jaakko Heinonen: shar utility built on libarchive 62Sep 17, 2008: Pedro Giffuni: birthtime support 63Sep 17, 2008: Miklos Vajna: lzma reader and test. Note: I still have 64 some concerns about the auto-detection (LZMA file format 65 doesn't support auto-detection well), so this is not yet 66 enabled under archive_read_support_compression_all(). For 67 now, you must call archive_read_support_compression_lzma() if 68 you want LZMA read support. 69Sep 11, 2008: Ivailo Petrov: Many fixes to Windows build, new solution files 70Jul 26, 2008: archive_entry now tracks which values have not been set. 71 This helps zip extraction (file size is often "unknown") and 72 time restores (tar usually doesn't know atime). 73Jul 26, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: Performance improvements to shar writer 74Jul 25, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: mtree write support 75 76Jul 02, 2008: libarchive 2.5.5 released 77 78Jul 02, 2008: libarchive 2.5.5b released 79Jul 01, 2008: bsdcpio is being used by enough people, we can call it 1.0.0 now 80Jun 20, 2008: bsdcpio: If a -l link fails with EXDEV, copy the file instead 81Jun 19, 2008: bsdcpio: additional long options for better GNU cpio compat 82Jun 15, 2008: Many small portability and bugfixes since 2.5.4b. 83 84May 25, 2008: libarchive 2.5.4b released 85May 21, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: fix bsdtar hardlink handling for newc format 86 87May 21, 2008: More progress on Windows building. Thanks to "Scott" 88 for the Windows makefiles, thanks to Kees Zeelenberg for 89 code contributions. 90 91May 21, 2008: Fix a number of non-exploitable integer and buffer overflows, 92 thanks to David Remahl at Apple for pointing these out. 93 94May 21, 2008: Colin Percival: SIGINFO or SIGUSR1 to bsdtar prints progress info 95 96May 16, 2008: bsdtar's test harness no longer depends on file ordering. 97 This was causing spurious test failures on a lot of systems. 98 Thanks to Bernhard R. Link for the diagnosis. 99 100May 14, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: -s substitution support for bsdtar 101 102May 13, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: Many mtree improvements 103 104May 11, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: fix hardlink extraction when 105 hardlinks have different permissions from original file 106 107April 30, 2008: Primary libarchive work has been moved into the FreeBSD 108 project's Perforce repository: http://perforce.freebsd.org/ 109 The libarchive project can be browsed at 110 //depot/user/kientzle/libarchive-portable 111 Direct link: http://preview.tinyurl.com/46mdgr 112 113May 04, 2008: libarchive 2.5.3b released 114 * libarchive: Several fixes to link resolver to address bsdcpio crashes 115 * bsdcpio: -p hardlink handling fixes 116 * tar/pax: Ensure ustar dirnames end in '/'; be more careful about 117 measuring filenames when deciding what pathname fields to use 118 * libarchive: Mark which entry strings are set; be accurate about 119 distinguishing empty strings ("") from unset ones (NULL) 120 * tar: Don't crash reading entries with empty filenames 121 * libarchive_test, bsdtar_test, bsdcpio_test: Better detaults: 122 run all tests, delete temp dirs, summarize repeated failures 123 * -no-undefined to libtool for Cygwin 124 * libarchive_test: Skip large file tests on systems with 32-bit off_t 125 * iso9660: Don't bother trying to find the body of an empty file; 126 this works around strange behavior from some ISO9660 writers 127 * tar: allow -r -T to be used together 128 * tar: allow --format with -r or -u 129 * libarchive: Don't build archive.h 130 131May 04, 2008: Simplified building: archive.h is no longer constructed 132 This may require additional #if conditionals on some platforms. 133 134Mar 30, 2008: libarchive 2.5.1b released 135 136Mar 15, 2008: libarchive 2.5.0b released 137Mar 15, 2008: bsdcpio now seems to correctly write hardlinks into newc, 138 ustar, and old cpio archives. Just a little more testing before 139 bsdcpio 1.0 becomes a reality. 140Mar 15, 2008: I think the new linkify() interface is finally handling 141 all known hardlink strategies. 142Mar 15, 2008: Mtree read fixes from Joerg Sonnenberger. 143Mar 15, 2008: Many new bsdtar and bsdcpio options from Joerg Sonnenberger. 144Mar 15, 2008: test harnesses no longer require uudecode; they 145 now have built-in decoding logic that decodes the reference 146 files as they are needed. 147 148Mar 14, 2008: libarchive 2.4.14 released; identical to 2.4.13 except for 149 a point fix for gname/uname mixup in pax format that was introduced 150 with the UTF-8 fixes. 151 152Feb 26, 2008: libarchive 2.4.13 released 153Feb 25, 2008: Handle path, linkname, gname, or uname that can't be converted 154 to/from UTF-8. Implement "hdrcharset" attribute from SUS-2008. 155Feb 25, 2008: Fix name clash on NetBSD. 156Feb 18, 2008: Fix writing empty 'ar' archives, per Kai Wang 157Feb 18, 2008: [bsdtar] Permit appending on block devices. 158Feb 09, 2008: New "linkify" resolver to help with newc hardlink writing; 159 bsdcpio still needs to be converted to use this. 160Feb 02, 2008: Windows compatibility fixes from Ivailo Petrov, Kees Zeelenberg 161Jan 30, 2008: Ignore hardlink size for non-POSIX tar archives. 162 163Jan 22, 2008: libarchive 2.4.12 released 164Jan 22, 2008: Fix bad padding when writing symlinks to newc cpio archives. 165Jan 22, 2008: Verify bsdcpio_test by getting it to work against GNU cpio 2.9. 166 bsdcpio_test complains about missing options (-y and -z), format 167 of informational messages (--version, --help), and a minor formatting 168 issue in odc format output. After this update, bsdcpio_test uncovered 169 several more cosmetic issues in bsdcpio, all now fixed. 170Jan 22, 2008: Experimental support for self-extracting Zip archives. 171Jan 22, 2008: Extend hardlink restore strategy to work correctly with 172 hardlinks extracted from newc cpio files. (Which store the body 173 only with the last occurrence of a link.) 174 175Dec 30, 2007: libarchive 2.4.11 released 176Dec 30, 2007: Fixed a compile error in bsdcpio on some systems. 177 178Dec 29, 2007: libarchive 2.4.10 released 179Dec 29, 2007: bsdcpio 0.9.0 is ready for wider use. 180Dec 29, 2007: Completed initial test harness for bsdcpio. 181 182Dec 22, 2007: libarchive 2.4.9 released 183Dec 22, 2007: Implement the remaining options for bsdcpio: -a, -q, -L, -f, 184 pattern selection for -i and -it. 185 186Dec 13, 2007: libarchive 2.4.8 released 187Dec 13, 2007: gzip and bzip2 compression now handle zero-byte writes correctly, 188 Thanks to Damien Golding for bringing this to my attention. 189 190Dec 12, 2007: libarchive 2.4.7 released 191 192Dec 10, 2007: libarchive 2.4.6 released 193Dec 09, 2007: tar/test/test_copy.c verifies "tar -c | tar -x" copy pipeline 194Dec 07, 2007: Fix a couple of minor memory leaks. 195 196Dec 04, 2007: libarchive 2.4.5 released 197Dec 04, 2007: Fix cpio/test/test_write_odc by setting the umask first. 198 199Dec 03, 2007: libarchive 2.4.4 released 200Dec 03, 2007: New configure options --disable-xattr and --disable-acl, 201 thanks to Samuli Suominen. 202 203Dec 03, 2007: libarchive 2.4.3 released 204Dec 03, 2007: Thanks to Lapo Luchini for sending me a ZIP file that 205 libarchive couldn't handle. Fixed a bug in handling of 206 "length at end" flags in ZIP files. 207Dec 03, 2007: Fixed bsdcpio -help, bsdtar -help tests. 208Dec 02, 2007: First cut at real bsdtar test harness. 209 210Dec 02, 2007: libarchive 2.4.2 released 211 212Dec 02, 2007: libarchive 2.4.1 released 213Dec 02, 2007: Minor fixes, rough cut of mdoc-to-man conversion for 214 man pages. 215 216Oct 30, 2007: libarchive 2.4.0 released 217Oct 30, 2007: Minor compile fix thanks to Joerg Schilling. 218Oct 30, 2007: Only run the format auction once at the beginning of the 219 archive. This is simpler and supports better error recovery. 220Oct 29, 2007: Test support for very large entries in tar archives: 221 libarchive_test now exercises entries from 2GB up to 1TB. 222 223Oct 27, 2007: libarchive 2.3.5 released 224Oct 27, 2007: Correct some unnecessary internal data copying in the 225 "compression none" reader and writer; this reduces user time 226 by up to 2/3 in some tests. (Thanks to Jan Psota for 227 publishing his performance test results to GNU tar's bug-tar 228 mailing list; those results pointed me towards this problem.) 229Oct 27, 2007: Fix for skipping archive entries that are exactly 230 a multiple of 4G on 32-bit platforms. 231Oct 25, 2007: Fix for reading very large (>8G) tar archives; this was 232 broken when I put in support for new GNU tar sparse formats. 233Oct 20, 2007: Initial work on new pattern-matching code for cpio; I 234 hope this eventually replaces the code currently in bsdtar. 235 236Oct 08, 2007: libarchive 2.3.4 released 237Oct 05, 2007: Continuing work on bsdcpio test suite. 238Oct 05, 2007: New cpio.5 manpage, updates to "History" of bsdcpio.1 and 239 bsdtar.1 manpages. 240Oct 05, 2007: Fix zip reader to immediately return EOF if you try 241 to read body of non-regular file. In particular, this fixes 242 bsdtar extraction of zip archives. 243 244Sep 30, 2007: libarchive 2.3.3 released 245Sep 26, 2007: Rework Makefile.am so that the enable/disable options 246 actually do the right things. 247Sep 26, 2007: cpio-odc and cpio-newc archives no longer write bodies 248 for non-regular files. 249Sep 26, 2007: Test harness for bsdcpio is in place, needs more tests written. 250 This is much nicer than the ragtag collection of test scripts 251 that bsdtar has. 252 253Sep 20, 2007: libarchive 2.3.2 released 254Sep 20, 2007: libarchive 2.3.1 broke bsdtar because the archive_write_data() 255 fix was implemented incorrectly. 256 257Sep 16, 2007: libarchive 2.3.1 released 258Sep 16, 2007: Many fixes to bsdcpio 0.3: handle hardlinks with -p, recognize 259 block size on writing, fix a couple of segfaults. 260Sep 16, 2007: Fixed return value from archive_write_data() when used 261 with archive_write_disk() to match the documentation and other 262 instances of this same function. 263Sep 15, 2007: Add archive_entry_link_resolver, archive_entry_strmode 264 265Sep 11, 2007: libarchive 2.2.8 released 266Sep 09, 2007: bsdcpio 0.2 supports most (not yet all) of the old POSIX spec. 267 268Sep 01, 2007: libarchive 2.2.7 released 269Aug 31, 2007: Support for reading mtree files, including an mtree.5 manpage 270 (A little experimental still.) 271Aug 18, 2007: Read gtar 1.17 --posix --sparse entries. 272Aug 13, 2007: Refined suid/sgid restore handling; it is no longer 273 an error if suid/sgid bits are dropped when you request 274 perm restore but don't request owner restore. 275Aug 06, 2007: Use --enable-bsdcpio if you want to try bsdcpio 276 277Aug 05, 2007: libarchive 2.2.6 released 278Aug 05, 2007: New configure option --disable-bsdtar, thanks to Joerg 279 Sonnenberger. 280Aug 05, 2007: Several bug fixes from FreeBSD CVS repo. 281 282Jul 13, 2007: libarchive 2.2.5 released 283 284Jul 12, 2007: libarchive 2.2.4 released 285Jul 12, 2007: Thanks to Colin Percival's help in diagnosing and 286 fixing several critical security bugs. Details available at 287 http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-07:05.libarchive.asc 288 289May 26, 2007: libarchive 2.2.3 released 290May 26, 2007: Fix memory leaks in ZIP reader and shar writer, add some 291 missing system headers to archive_entry.h, dead code cleanup 292 from Colin Percival, more tests for gzip/bzip2, fix an 293 EOF anomaly in bzip2 decompression. 294 295May 12, 2007: libarchive 2.2.2 released 296May 12, 2007: Fix archive_write_disk permission restore by cloning 297 entry passed into write_header so that permission info is 298 still available at finish_entry time. (archive_read_extract() 299 worked okay because it held onto the passed-in entry, but 300 direct consumers of archive_write_disk would break). This 301 required fixing archive_entry_clone(), which now works and has 302 a reasonably complete test case. 303May 10, 2007: Skeletal cpio implementation. 304 305May 06, 2007: libarchive 2.2.1 released 306May 06, 2007: Flesh out a lot more of test_entry.c so as to catch 307 problems such as the device node breakage before releasing <sigh>. 308May 05, 2007: Fix a bad bug introduced in 2.1.9 that broke device 309 node entries in tar archives. 310May 03, 2007: Move 'struct stat' out of archive_entry core as well. 311 This removes some portability headaches and fixes a bunch 312 of corner cases that arise when manipulating archives on 313 dissimilar systems. 314 315Apr 30, 2007: libarchive 2.1.10 released 316Apr 31, 2007: Minor code cleanup. 317 318Apr 24, 2007: libarchive 2.1.9 released 319Apr 24, 2007: Fix some recently-introduced problems with libraries 320 (Just let automake handle it and it all works much better.) 321 Finish isolating major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry.c. 322 323Apr 23, 2007: libarchive 2.1.8 released 324Apr 23, 2007: Minor fixes found from building on MacOS X 325 326Apr 22, 2007: libarchive 2.1.7 released 327Apr 22, 2007: Eliminated all uses of 'struct stat' from the 328 format readers/writers. This should improve portability; 329 'struct stat' is now only used in archive_entry and in 330 code that actually touches the disk. 331 332Apr 17, 2007: libarchive 2.1.6 released 333 Libarchive now compiles and passes all tests on Interix. 334 335Apr 16, 2007: libarchive 2.1.5 released 336 337Apr 15, 2007: libarchive 2.1b2 released 338Apr 15, 2007: New libarchive_internals.3 documentation of internal APIs. 339 Not complete, but should prove helpful. 340Apr 15, 2007: Experimental "read_compress_program" and "write_compress_program" 341 for using libarchive with external compression. Not yet 342 well tested, and likely has portability issues. Feedback 343 appreciated. 344 345Apr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.31 released 346Apr 14, 2007: More fixes for Interix, more 'ar' work 347 348Apr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.30 released 349Apr 13, 2007: libarchive now enforces trailing '/' on dirs 350 written to tar archives 351 352Apr 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.29 released 353Apr 11, 2007: Make it easier to statically configure for different platforms. 354Apr 11, 2007: Updated config.guess, config.sub, libtool 355 356Apr 06, 2007: libarchive 2.0.28 released 357Apr 06, 2007: 'ar' format read/write support thanks to Kai Wang. 358 359Apr 01, 2007: libarchive 2.0.27 released 360Mar 31, 2007: Several minor fixes from Colin Percival and Joerg Sonnenberger. 361 362Mar 12, 2007: libarchive 2.0.25 released 363Mar 12, 2007: Fix broken --unlink flag. 364 365Mar 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.24 released 366Mar 10, 2007: Correct an ACL blunder that causes any ACL with an entry 367 that refers to a non-existent user or group to not be restored correctly. 368 The fix both makes the parser more tolerant (so that archives created 369 with the buggy ACLs can be read now) and corrects the ACL formatter. 370Mar 10, 2007: More work on test portability to Linux. 371 372Mar 10, 2007: libarchive 2.0.22 released 373Mar 10, 2007: Header cleanups; added linux/fs.h, removed 374 some unnecessary headers, added #include guards in bsdtar. 375 If you see any obvious compile failures from this, let me know. 376Mar 10, 2007: Work on bsdtar test scripts: not yet robust enough 377 to enable as part of "make check", but getting better. 378Mar 10, 2007: libarchive now returns ARCHIVE_FAILED when 379 a header write fails in a way that only affects this item. 380 Less bad than ARCHIVE_FATAL, but worse than ARCHIVE_WARN. 381 382Mar 07, 2007: libarchive 2.0.21 released 383Mar 07, 2007: Add some ACL tests (only for the system-independent 384 portion of the ACL support for now). 385Mar 07, 2007: tar's ability to read ACLs off disk got 386 turned off for FreeBSD; re-enable it. (ACL restores and 387 libarchive support for storing/reading ACLs from pax 388 archives was unaffected.) 389 390Mar 02, 2007: libarchive 2.0.20 released 391Mar 2, 2007: It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. 392 Libarchive 2.0 is officially out of beta. 393 394Feb 28, 2007: libarchive 2.0b17 released 395Feb 27, 2007: Make the GID restore checks more robust by checking 396 whether the current user has too few or too many privileges. 397 398Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b15 released 399Feb 26, 2007: Don't lose symlinks when extracting from ISOs. 400 Thanks to Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò for telling me about the 401 broken testcase on Gentoo that (finally!) led me to the cause 402 of this long-standing bug. 403 404Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b14 released 405Feb 26, 2007: Fix a broken test on platforms that lack lchmod(). 406 407Feb 25, 2007: libarchive 2.0b13 released 408Feb 25, 2007: Empty archives were being written as empty files, 409 without a proper end-of-archive marker. Fixed. 410 411Feb 23, 2007: libarchive 2.0b12 released 412Feb 22, 2007: Basic security checks added: _EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT 413 and _EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINK. These checks used to be in bsdtar, 414 but they belong down in libarchive where they can be used by 415 other tools and where they can be better optimized. 416 417Feb 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0b11 released 418Feb 10, 2007: Fixed a bunch of errors in libarchive's handling 419 of EXTRACT_PERM and EXTRACT_OWNER, especially relating 420 to SUID and SGID bits. 421 422Jan 31, 2007: libarchive 2.0b9 released 423Jan 31, 2007: Added read support for "empty" archives as a 424 distinct archive format. Bsdtar uses this to handle, e.g., 425 "touch foo.tar; tar -rf foo.tar" 426 427Jan 22, 2007: libarchive 2.0b6 released 428Jan 22, 2007: archive_write_disk API is now in place. It provides 429 a finer-grained interface than archive_read_extract. In particular, 430 you can use it to create objects on disk without having an archive 431 around (just feed it archive_entry objects describing what you 432 want to create), you can override the uname/gname-to-uid/gid lookups 433 (minitar uses this to avoid getpwXXX() and getgrXXX() bloat). 434 435Jan 09, 2007: libarchive 2.0a3 released 436Jan 9, 2007: archive_extract is now much better; it handles the 437 most common cases with a minimal number of system calls. 438 Some features still need a lot of testing, especially corner 439 cases involving objects that already exist on disk. I expect 440 the next round of API overhaul will simplify building test cases. 441Jan 9, 2007: a number of fixes thanks to Colin Percival, especially 442 corrections to the skip() framework and handling of large files. 443Jan 9, 2007: Fixes for large ISOs. The code should correctly handle 444 very large ISOs with entries up to 4G. Thanks to Robert Sciuk 445 for pointing out these issues. 446 447Sep 05, 2006: libarchive 1.3.1 released 448Sep 5, 2006: Bump version to 1.3 for new I/O wrappers. 449Sep 4, 2006: New memory and FILE read/write wrappers. 450Sep 4, 2006: libarchive test harness is now minimally functional; 451 it's located a few minor bugs in error-handling logic 452 453Aug 17, 2006: libarchive 1.2.54 released 454Aug 17, 2006: Outline ABI changes for libarchive 2.0; these 455 are protected behind #ifdef's until I think I've found everything 456 that needs to change. 457Aug 17, 2006: Fix error-handling in archive_read/write_close() 458 They weren't returning any errors before. 459Aug 17, 2006: Fix recursive-add logic to not trigger if it's not set 460 Fixes a bug adding files when writing archive to pipe or when 461 using archive_write_open() directly. 462Jul 2006: New "skip" handling improves performance extracting 463 single files from large uncompressed archives. 464 465Mar 21, 2006: 1.2.52 released 466Mar 21, 2006: Fix -p on platforms that don't have platform-specific 467 extended attribute code. 468Mar 20, 2006: Add NEWS file; fill in some older history from other 469 files. I'll try to keep this file up-to-date from now on. 470 471OLDER NEWS SUMMARIES 472 473Mar 19, 2006: libarchive 1.2.51 released 474Mar 18, 2006: Many fixes to extended attribute support, including a redesign 475 of the storage format to simplify debugging. 476Mar 12, 2006: Remove 'tp' support; it was a fun idea, but not worth 477 spending much time on. 478Mar 11, 2006: Incorporated Jaakko Heinonen's still-experimental support 479 for extended attributes (Currently Linux-only.). 480Mar 11, 2006: Reorganized distribution package: There is now one tar.gz 481 file that builds both libarchive and bsdtar. 482Feb 13, 2006: Minor bug fixes: correctly read cpio device entries, write 483 Pax attribute entry names. 484Nov 7, 2005: Experimental 'tp' format support in libarchive. Feedback 485 appreciated; this is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all() 486 yet as I'm not quite content with the format detection heuristics. 487Nov 7, 2005: Some more portability improvements thanks to Darin Broady, 488 minor bugfixes. 489Oct 12, 2005: Use GNU libtool to build shared libraries on many systems. 490Aug 9, 2005: Correctly detect that MacOS X does not have POSIX ACLs. 491Apr 17, 2005: Kees Zeelenberg has ported libarchive and bsdtar to Windows: 492 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ 493Apr 11, 2005: Extended Zip/Zip64 support thanks to Dan Nelson. -L/-h 494 fix from Jaakko Heinonen. 495Mar 12, 2005: archive_read_extract can now handle very long 496 pathnames (I've tested with pathnames up to 1MB). 497Mar 12, 2005: Marcus Geiger has written an article about libarchive 498 http://xsnil.antbear.org/2005/02/05/archive-mit-libarchive-verarbeiten/ 499 including examples of using it from Objective-C. His MoinX 500 http://moinx.antbear.org/ desktop Wiki uses 501 libarchive for archiving and restoring Wiki pages. 502Jan 22, 2005: Preliminary ZIP extraction support, 503 new directory-walking code for bsdtar. 504Jan 16, 2005: ISO9660 extraction code added; manpage corrections. 505May 22, 2004: Many gtar-compatible long options have been added; almost 506 all FreeBSD ports extract correctly with bsdtar. 507May 18, 2004: bsdtar can read Solaris, HP-UX, Unixware, star, gtar, 508 and pdtar archives. 509
