260 | Jan 07, 2009: New archive_read_disk_entry_from_file() knows about ACLs, | |

262 | such system-specific knowledge. | |
263 | Jan 03, 2009: Read filter system extensively refactored. In particular, | |
264 | read filter pipelines are now built out automatically and individual | |
265 | filters should be much easier to implement. Documentation on the | |
266 | Googlecode Wiki explains how to implement new filters. | |
44b7ab17 | 267 | Dec 28, 2008: Many Windows/Visual Studio fixes from Michihiro NAKAJIMA. |

03f87984 TK |
281 | Nov 07, 2008: Read filter refactor: The decompression routines just |
282 | consume and produce arbitrarily-sized blocks. The reblocking | |
283 | from read_support_compression_none() has been pulled into the | |
284 | read core. Also, the decompression bid now makes multiple | |
285 | passes and stacks read filters. | |
286 | Oct 21, 2008: bsdcpio: New command-line parser. | |
287 | Oct 19, 2008: Internal read_ahead change: short reads are now an error | |
288 | Oct 06, 2008: bsdtar: option parser no longer uses getopt_long(), | |
289 | gives consistent option parsing on all platforms. | |
290 | Sep 19, 2008: Jaakko Heinonen: shar utility built on libarchive | |
291 | Sep 17, 2008: Pedro Giffuni: birthtime support | |
292 | Sep 17, 2008: Miklos Vajna: lzma reader and test. Note: I still have | |
013ded29 TK |
293 | some concerns about the auto-detection (LZMA file format |
294 | doesn't support auto-detection well), so this is not yet | |
295 | enabled under archive_read_support_compression_all(). For | |
296 | now, you must call archive_read_support_compression_lzma() if | |
297 | you want LZMA read support. | |
03f87984 TK |
298 | Sep 11, 2008: Ivailo Petrov: Many fixes to Windows build, new solution files |
299 | Jul 26, 2008: archive_entry now tracks which values have not been set. | |
300 | This helps zip extraction (file size is often "unknown") and | |
301 | time restores (tar usually doesn't know atime). | |
302 | Jul 26, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: Performance improvements to shar writer | |
303 | Jul 25, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: mtree write support | |

342 | May 04, 2008: libarchive 2.5.3b released |
343 | * libarchive: Several fixes to link resolver to address bsdcpio crashes | |
344 | * bsdcpio: -p hardlink handling fixes | |
345 | * tar/pax: Ensure ustar dirnames end in '/'; be more careful about | |
346 | measuring filenames when deciding what pathname fields to use | |
347 | * libarchive: Mark which entry strings are set; be accurate about | |
348 | distinguishing empty strings ("") from unset ones (NULL) | |
349 | * tar: Don't crash reading entries with empty filenames | |
7bb4aefe | 350 | * libarchive_test, bsdtar_test, bsdcpio_test: Better defaults: |
92e41f3b TK |
351 | run all tests, delete temp dirs, summarize repeated failures |
352 | * -no-undefined to libtool for Cygwin | |
353 | * libarchive_test: Skip large file tests on systems with 32-bit off_t | |
354 | * iso9660: Don't bother trying to find the body of an empty file; | |
355 | this works around strange behavior from some ISO9660 writers | |
356 | * tar: allow -r -T to be used together | |
357 | * tar: allow --format with -r or -u | |
358 | * libarchive: Don't build archive.h | |
359 | ||
3de0de1d TK |
360 | May 04, 2008: Simplified building: archive.h is no longer constructed |
361 | This may require additional #if conditionals on some platforms. | |
362 | ||
b3cfa26b TK |
363 | Mar 30, 2008: libarchive 2.5.1b released |
364 | ||
365 | Mar 15, 2008: libarchive 2.5.0b released | |
366 | Mar 15, 2008: bsdcpio now seems to correctly write hardlinks into newc, | |
367 | ustar, and old cpio archives. Just a little more testing before | |
368 | bsdcpio 1.0 becomes a reality. | |
369 | Mar 15, 2008: I think the new linkify() interface is finally handling | |
370 | all known hardlink strategies. | |
371 | Mar 15, 2008: Mtree read fixes from Joerg Sonnenberger. | |
372 | Mar 15, 2008: Many new bsdtar and bsdcpio options from Joerg Sonnenberger. | |
373 | Mar 15, 2008: test harnesses no longer require uudecode; they | |
374 | now have built-in decoding logic that decodes the reference | |
375 | files as they are needed. | |
376 | ||
377 | Mar 14, 2008: libarchive 2.4.14 released; identical to 2.4.13 except for | |
378 | a point fix for gname/uname mixup in pax format that was introduced | |
379 | with the UTF-8 fixes. | |
380 | ||
381 | Feb 26, 2008: libarchive 2.4.13 released | |
382 | Feb 25, 2008: Handle path, linkname, gname, or uname that can't be converted | |
383 | to/from UTF-8. Implement "hdrcharset" attribute from SUS-2008. | |
384 | Feb 25, 2008: Fix name clash on NetBSD. | |
385 | Feb 18, 2008: Fix writing empty 'ar' archives, per Kai Wang | |
386 | Feb 18, 2008: [bsdtar] Permit appending on block devices. | |
387 | Feb 09, 2008: New "linkify" resolver to help with newc hardlink writing; | |
388 | bsdcpio still needs to be converted to use this. | |
389 | Feb 02, 2008: Windows compatibility fixes from Ivailo Petrov, Kees Zeelenberg | |
390 | Jan 30, 2008: Ignore hardlink size for non-POSIX tar archives. | |
391 | ||
392 | Jan 22, 2008: libarchive 2.4.12 released | |
393 | Jan 22, 2008: Fix bad padding when writing symlinks to newc cpio archives. | |
394 | Jan 22, 2008: Verify bsdcpio_test by getting it to work against GNU cpio 2.9. | |
395 | bsdcpio_test complains about missing options (-y and -z), format | |
396 | of informational messages (--version, --help), and a minor formatting | |
397 | issue in odc format output. After this update, bsdcpio_test uncovered | |
398 | several more cosmetic issues in bsdcpio, all now fixed. | |
399 | Jan 22, 2008: Experimental support for self-extracting Zip archives. | |
400 | Jan 22, 2008: Extend hardlink restore strategy to work correctly with | |
401 | hardlinks extracted from newc cpio files. (Which store the body | |
402 | only with the last occurrence of a link.) | |
403 | ||
404 | Dec 30, 2007: libarchive 2.4.11 released | |
405 | Dec 30, 2007: Fixed a compile error in bsdcpio on some systems. | |
406 | ||
407 | Dec 29, 2007: libarchive 2.4.10 released | |
408 | Dec 29, 2007: bsdcpio 0.9.0 is ready for wider use. | |
409 | Dec 29, 2007: Completed initial test harness for bsdcpio. | |
410 | ||
411 | Dec 22, 2007: libarchive 2.4.9 released | |
412 | Dec 22, 2007: Implement the remaining options for bsdcpio: -a, -q, -L, -f, | |
413 | pattern selection for -i and -it. | |
414 | ||
415 | Dec 13, 2007: libarchive 2.4.8 released | |
416 | Dec 13, 2007: gzip and bzip2 compression now handle zero-byte writes correctly, | |
417 | Thanks to Damien Golding for bringing this to my attention. | |
418 | ||
419 | Dec 12, 2007: libarchive 2.4.7 released | |
420 | ||
421 | Dec 10, 2007: libarchive 2.4.6 released | |
422 | Dec 09, 2007: tar/test/test_copy.c verifies "tar -c | tar -x" copy pipeline | |
423 | Dec 07, 2007: Fix a couple of minor memory leaks. | |
424 | ||
425 | Dec 04, 2007: libarchive 2.4.5 released | |
426 | Dec 04, 2007: Fix cpio/test/test_write_odc by setting the umask first. | |
427 | ||
428 | Dec 03, 2007: libarchive 2.4.4 released | |
429 | Dec 03, 2007: New configure options --disable-xattr and --disable-acl, | |
430 | thanks to Samuli Suominen. | |
431 | ||
432 | Dec 03, 2007: libarchive 2.4.3 released | |
433 | Dec 03, 2007: Thanks to Lapo Luchini for sending me a ZIP file that | |
434 | libarchive couldn't handle. Fixed a bug in handling of | |
435 | "length at end" flags in ZIP files. | |
436 | Dec 03, 2007: Fixed bsdcpio -help, bsdtar -help tests. | |
437 | Dec 02, 2007: First cut at real bsdtar test harness. | |
438 | ||
439 | Dec 02, 2007: libarchive 2.4.2 released | |
440 | ||
441 | Dec 02, 2007: libarchive 2.4.1 released | |
442 | Dec 02, 2007: Minor fixes, rough cut of mdoc-to-man conversion for | |
443 | man pages. | |
444 | ||
445 | Oct 30, 2007: libarchive 2.4.0 released | |
446 | Oct 30, 2007: Minor compile fix thanks to Joerg Schilling. | |
447 | Oct 30, 2007: Only run the format auction once at the beginning of the | |
448 | archive. This is simpler and supports better error recovery. | |
449 | Oct 29, 2007: Test support for very large entries in tar archives: | |
450 | libarchive_test now exercises entries from 2GB up to 1TB. | |
451 | ||
452 | Oct 27, 2007: libarchive 2.3.5 released | |
453 | Oct 27, 2007: Correct some unnecessary internal data copying in the | |
454 | "compression none" reader and writer; this reduces user time | |
455 | by up to 2/3 in some tests. (Thanks to Jan Psota for | |
456 | publishing his performance test results to GNU tar's bug-tar | |
457 | mailing list; those results pointed me towards this problem.) | |
458 | Oct 27, 2007: Fix for skipping archive entries that are exactly | |
459 | a multiple of 4G on 32-bit platforms. | |
460 | Oct 25, 2007: Fix for reading very large (>8G) tar archives; this was | |
461 | broken when I put in support for new GNU tar sparse formats. | |
462 | Oct 20, 2007: Initial work on new pattern-matching code for cpio; I | |
463 | hope this eventually replaces the code currently in bsdtar. | |
464 | ||
465 | Oct 08, 2007: libarchive 2.3.4 released | |
466 | Oct 05, 2007: Continuing work on bsdcpio test suite. | |
467 | Oct 05, 2007: New cpio.5 manpage, updates to "History" of bsdcpio.1 and | |
468 | bsdtar.1 manpages. | |
469 | Oct 05, 2007: Fix zip reader to immediately return EOF if you try | |
470 | to read body of non-regular file. In particular, this fixes | |
471 | bsdtar extraction of zip archives. | |
472 | ||
473 | Sep 30, 2007: libarchive 2.3.3 released | |
474 | Sep 26, 2007: Rework Makefile.am so that the enable/disable options | |
475 | actually do the right things. | |
476 | Sep 26, 2007: cpio-odc and cpio-newc archives no longer write bodies | |
477 | for non-regular files. | |
478 | Sep 26, 2007: Test harness for bsdcpio is in place, needs more tests written. | |
479 | This is much nicer than the ragtag collection of test scripts | |
480 | that bsdtar has. | |
481 | ||
482 | Sep 20, 2007: libarchive 2.3.2 released | |
483 | Sep 20, 2007: libarchive 2.3.1 broke bsdtar because the archive_write_data() | |
484 | fix was implemented incorrectly. | |
485 | ||
486 | Sep 16, 2007: libarchive 2.3.1 released | |
487 | Sep 16, 2007: Many fixes to bsdcpio 0.3: handle hardlinks with -p, recognize | |
488 | block size on writing, fix a couple of segfaults. | |
489 | Sep 16, 2007: Fixed return value from archive_write_data() when used | |
490 | with archive_write_disk() to match the documentation and other | |
491 | instances of this same function. | |
492 | Sep 15, 2007: Add archive_entry_link_resolver, archive_entry_strmode | |
493 | ||
494 | Sep 11, 2007: libarchive 2.2.8 released | |
495 | Sep 09, 2007: bsdcpio 0.2 supports most (not yet all) of the old POSIX spec. | |
496 | ||
497 | Sep 01, 2007: libarchive 2.2.7 released | |
498 | Aug 31, 2007: Support for reading mtree files, including an mtree.5 manpage | |
499 | (A little experimental still.) | |
500 | Aug 18, 2007: Read gtar 1.17 --posix --sparse entries. | |
501 | Aug 13, 2007: Refined suid/sgid restore handling; it is no longer | |
502 | an error if suid/sgid bits are dropped when you request | |
503 | perm restore but don't request owner restore. | |
504 | Aug 06, 2007: Use --enable-bsdcpio if you want to try bsdcpio | |
505 | ||
506 | Aug 05, 2007: libarchive 2.2.6 released | |
507 | Aug 05, 2007: New configure option --disable-bsdtar, thanks to Joerg | |
508 | Sonnenberger. | |
509 | Aug 05, 2007: Several bug fixes from FreeBSD CVS repo. | |
510 | ||
511 | Jul 13, 2007: libarchive 2.2.5 released | |
512 | ||
513 | Jul 12, 2007: libarchive 2.2.4 released | |
514 | Jul 12, 2007: Thanks to Colin Percival's help in diagnosing and | |
515 | fixing several critical security bugs. Details available at | |
516 | http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-07:05.libarchive.asc | |
517 | ||
518 | May 26, 2007: libarchive 2.2.3 released | |
519 | May 26, 2007: Fix memory leaks in ZIP reader and shar writer, add some | |
520 | missing system headers to archive_entry.h, dead code cleanup | |
521 | from Colin Percival, more tests for gzip/bzip2, fix an | |
522 | EOF anomaly in bzip2 decompression. | |
523 | ||
524 | May 12, 2007: libarchive 2.2.2 released | |
525 | May 12, 2007: Fix archive_write_disk permission restore by cloning | |
526 | entry passed into write_header so that permission info is | |
527 | still available at finish_entry time. (archive_read_extract() | |
528 | worked okay because it held onto the passed-in entry, but | |
529 | direct consumers of archive_write_disk would break). This | |
530 | required fixing archive_entry_clone(), which now works and has | |
531 | a reasonably complete test case. | |
532 | May 10, 2007: Skeletal cpio implementation. | |
533 | ||
534 | May 06, 2007: libarchive 2.2.1 released | |
535 | May 06, 2007: Flesh out a lot more of test_entry.c so as to catch | |
536 | problems such as the device node breakage before releasing <sigh>. | |
537 | May 05, 2007: Fix a bad bug introduced in 2.1.9 that broke device | |
538 | node entries in tar archives. | |
539 | May 03, 2007: Move 'struct stat' out of archive_entry core as well. | |
540 | This removes some portability headaches and fixes a bunch | |
541 | of corner cases that arise when manipulating archives on | |
542 | dissimilar systems. | |
543 | ||
544 | Apr 30, 2007: libarchive 2.1.10 released | |
545 | Apr 31, 2007: Minor code cleanup. | |
546 | ||
547 | Apr 24, 2007: libarchive 2.1.9 released | |
548 | Apr 24, 2007: Fix some recently-introduced problems with libraries | |
549 | (Just let automake handle it and it all works much better.) | |
550 | Finish isolating major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry.c. | |
551 | ||
552 | Apr 23, 2007: libarchive 2.1.8 released | |
553 | Apr 23, 2007: Minor fixes found from building on MacOS X | |
554 | ||
555 | Apr 22, 2007: libarchive 2.1.7 released | |
556 | Apr 22, 2007: Eliminated all uses of 'struct stat' from the | |
557 | format readers/writers. This should improve portability; | |
558 | 'struct stat' is now only used in archive_entry and in | |
559 | code that actually touches the disk. | |
560 | ||
561 | Apr 17, 2007: libarchive 2.1.6 released | |
562 | Libarchive now compiles and passes all tests on Interix. | |
563 | ||
564 | Apr 16, 2007: libarchive 2.1.5 released | |
565 | ||
566 | Apr 15, 2007: libarchive 2.1b2 released | |
567 | Apr 15, 2007: New libarchive_internals.3 documentation of internal APIs. | |
568 | Not complete, but should prove helpful. | |
569 | Apr 15, 2007: Experimental "read_compress_program" and "write_compress_program" | |
570 | for using libarchive with external compression. Not yet | |
571 | well tested, and likely has portability issues. Feedback | |
572 | appreciated. | |
573 | ||
574 | Apr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.31 released | |
575 | Apr 14, 2007: More fixes for Interix, more 'ar' work | |
576 | ||
577 | Apr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.30 released | |
578 | Apr 13, 2007: libarchive now enforces trailing '/' on dirs | |
579 | written to tar archives | |
580 | ||
581 | Apr 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.29 released | |
582 | Apr 11, 2007: Make it easier to statically configure for different platforms. | |
583 | Apr 11, 2007: Updated config.guess, config.sub, libtool | |
584 | ||
585 | Apr 06, 2007: libarchive 2.0.28 released | |
586 | Apr 06, 2007: 'ar' format read/write support thanks to Kai Wang. | |
587 | ||
588 | Apr 01, 2007: libarchive 2.0.27 released | |
589 | Mar 31, 2007: Several minor fixes from Colin Percival and Joerg Sonnenberger. | |
590 | ||
591 | Mar 12, 2007: libarchive 2.0.25 released | |
592 | Mar 12, 2007: Fix broken --unlink flag. | |
593 | ||
594 | Mar 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.24 released | |
595 | Mar 10, 2007: Correct an ACL blunder that causes any ACL with an entry | |
596 | that refers to a non-existent user or group to not be restored correctly. | |
597 | The fix both makes the parser more tolerant (so that archives created | |
598 | with the buggy ACLs can be read now) and corrects the ACL formatter. | |
599 | Mar 10, 2007: More work on test portability to Linux. | |
600 | ||
601 | Mar 10, 2007: libarchive 2.0.22 released | |
602 | Mar 10, 2007: Header cleanups; added linux/fs.h, removed | |
603 | some unnecessary headers, added #include guards in bsdtar. | |
604 | If you see any obvious compile failures from this, let me know. | |
605 | Mar 10, 2007: Work on bsdtar test scripts: not yet robust enough | |
606 | to enable as part of "make check", but getting better. | |
607 | Mar 10, 2007: libarchive now returns ARCHIVE_FAILED when | |
608 | a header write fails in a way that only affects this item. | |
609 | Less bad than ARCHIVE_FATAL, but worse than ARCHIVE_WARN. | |
610 | ||
611 | Mar 07, 2007: libarchive 2.0.21 released | |
612 | Mar 07, 2007: Add some ACL tests (only for the system-independent | |
613 | portion of the ACL support for now). | |
614 | Mar 07, 2007: tar's ability to read ACLs off disk got | |
615 | turned off for FreeBSD; re-enable it. (ACL restores and | |
616 | libarchive support for storing/reading ACLs from pax | |
617 | archives was unaffected.) | |
618 | ||
619 | Mar 02, 2007: libarchive 2.0.20 released | |
620 | Mar 2, 2007: It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. | |
621 | Libarchive 2.0 is officially out of beta. | |
622 | ||
623 | Feb 28, 2007: libarchive 2.0b17 released | |
624 | Feb 27, 2007: Make the GID restore checks more robust by checking | |
625 | whether the current user has too few or too many privileges. | |
626 | ||
627 | Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b15 released | |
628 | Feb 26, 2007: Don't lose symlinks when extracting from ISOs. | |
0573c4e4 | 629 | Thanks to Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò for telling me about the |
b3cfa26b TK |
630 | broken testcase on Gentoo that (finally!) led me to the cause |
631 | of this long-standing bug. | |
632 | ||
633 | Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b14 released | |
634 | Feb 26, 2007: Fix a broken test on platforms that lack lchmod(). | |
635 | ||
636 | Feb 25, 2007: libarchive 2.0b13 released | |
637 | Feb 25, 2007: Empty archives were being written as empty files, | |
638 | without a proper end-of-archive marker. Fixed. | |
639 | ||
640 | Feb 23, 2007: libarchive 2.0b12 released | |
641 | Feb 22, 2007: Basic security checks added: _EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT | |
642 | and _EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINK. These checks used to be in bsdtar, | |
643 | but they belong down in libarchive where they can be used by | |
644 | other tools and where they can be better optimized. | |
645 | ||
646 | Feb 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0b11 released | |
647 | Feb 10, 2007: Fixed a bunch of errors in libarchive's handling | |
648 | of EXTRACT_PERM and EXTRACT_OWNER, especially relating | |
649 | to SUID and SGID bits. | |
650 | ||
651 | Jan 31, 2007: libarchive 2.0b9 released | |
652 | Jan 31, 2007: Added read support for "empty" archives as a | |
653 | distinct archive format. Bsdtar uses this to handle, e.g., | |
654 | "touch foo.tar; tar -rf foo.tar" | |
655 | ||
656 | Jan 22, 2007: libarchive 2.0b6 released | |
657 | Jan 22, 2007: archive_write_disk API is now in place. It provides | |
658 | a finer-grained interface than archive_read_extract. In particular, | |
659 | you can use it to create objects on disk without having an archive | |
660 | around (just feed it archive_entry objects describing what you | |
661 | want to create), you can override the uname/gname-to-uid/gid lookups | |
662 | (minitar uses this to avoid getpwXXX() and getgrXXX() bloat). | |
663 | ||
664 | Jan 09, 2007: libarchive 2.0a3 released | |
665 | Jan 9, 2007: archive_extract is now much better; it handles the | |
666 | most common cases with a minimal number of system calls. | |
667 | Some features still need a lot of testing, especially corner | |
668 | cases involving objects that already exist on disk. I expect | |
669 | the next round of API overhaul will simplify building test cases. | |
670 | Jan 9, 2007: a number of fixes thanks to Colin Percival, especially | |
671 | corrections to the skip() framework and handling of large files. | |
672 | Jan 9, 2007: Fixes for large ISOs. The code should correctly handle | |
673 | very large ISOs with entries up to 4G. Thanks to Robert Sciuk | |
674 | for pointing out these issues. | |
675 | ||
676 | Sep 05, 2006: libarchive 1.3.1 released | |
677 | Sep 5, 2006: Bump version to 1.3 for new I/O wrappers. | |
678 | Sep 4, 2006: New memory and FILE read/write wrappers. | |
679 | Sep 4, 2006: libarchive test harness is now minimally functional; | |
