Change log:
* important changes in version 1.22 21/11/2004:
This release holds only bugfixes.
- Make list_files() also return full_path() rather than name(),
as that would ignore the prefix field. This was found to break
PPM (bug #8537)
2004/10/11 ***** v2.0.3 shipped *****
2004/09/25 fadden

archive would fail.
- Removed use of a "ushort" from NufxLib.h.
2004/09/20 fadden

when "fake threads" is enabled.
2004/03/10 ***** v2.0.2 shipped *****
2004/03/09 fadden
- Set access permissions based on umask when extracting a "locked"
file. My thanks to Matthew Fischer for sending a patch.
- Reject archives with a MasterEOF == 48, not <= 48. There are
some otherwise valid archives created by an old version of ShrinkIt
that have MasterEOF==0.
2003/10/16 ***** v2.0.1 shipped *****
2003/10/16 fadden
- Added workaround for bad HFS option lists created by GSHK.

- Added support for resource forks and file and aux types when built
for Mac OS X.
Version 4.12
============
- new port of 7za from the source of 7za 4.12Beta for Windows
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.11 and 4.12 :
- 7-Zip now supports Zip64 extension of ZIP format. So now it's
possible to compress files bigger than 4 GB to ZIP archives.
- Some bugs were fixed
- fix "7za a archive.7z file" that added all the files and directories
with filename "file", "FILE", "File" ...
- p7zip now displays the locale (ex : en_US.UTF-8) in the banner.
- new flag "-no-utf16" to avoid lossly conversion in filenames.
CAUTION : use this flag when you do not plan to export your archive.
- support creation of self extracting archive.
- better support of symbolic link (now, an invalid symbolic link
do not stop archiving but displays a warning).
- better support of files that the user cannot read.
(now this kind of file is not added to the archive, and p7zip displays a warning).
- return of 7z and its plugins.
- support of listing/testing/extracting files from a splitted archive (only with 7z).
- support of MacOX X 10.X.
- creation of Gzip/Tar archives didn't work on Linux Alpha.
- see "contrib/VirtualFileSystemForMidnightCommander/readme" to use 7za with "mc".
Version 4.10
============
- new port of 7za from the source of 7za 4.10Beta for Windows
=> p7zip now work on big endian CPU.
- 7z for Unix is not maintain anymore (because as the source of unrar plugin for 7z
is not available, 7z is unless on Unix).
Version 0.91
============
- add support for FreeBSD 5.2.1
In Windows/Time.h add "#include <time.h>"
and prototype change for FileTimeToUnixTime()
- bug 990684 Corrected : support of filesystem
that support case sensitive filenames.
Example, since version 0.91 :
"7z a glibc -r glibc-2.3.2"
does not terminate with error :
Duplicate filename:
glibc-2.3.2\sysdeps\m88k\m88100\add_n.S
glibc-2.3.2\sysdeps\m88k\m88100\add_n.s
Version 0.90
============
- build of 7z.exe and its DLL.
7z.exe support more archive formats than 7za.exe
thanks to DLL in Formats and Codecs directories
- "#pragma once" is now in comments
- mainly For OpenBSD :
- add #include <wchar.h> in include_windows/winnt.h
- remove stuff for GUID_SECTION and GUID_SECT in include_windows/basetyps.h
and include_windows/initguid.h
- some changes in 7zip/Crypto/aesopt.h because of endian.h
Version 0.81
============
- add a copy of the help of 7-zip (see html directory)
- "7z a -r tmp.7z directory" works as expected.
no more need for commands like : 7z a -r tmp.7z "directory/*"
- 7z restores the date of each files (but not directories)
- 7z supports UNICODE filenames (version 0.80 supports only ASCII/Latin1 filenames)
- support of gcc 2.95
- support of gcc 3.4
- 7z needs no more libgen.h (dirname() and basename())
- less "Internal Error #7" during arguments parsing
- minor change in class CThread
While here add HOMEPAGE.
Changes since last packaged version (1.10)
* important changes in version 1.21 9/11/2004:
This release holds only bugfixes.
- Make the size of symlinks be 0 in tar headers, so the next entry
is not interpreted as contents of the symlink (bug #7937)
- Strip high bits from the mode of the file, as they are stored
differently in the tar header
- Make Archive::Tar be kinder to archives that contain garbage,
proceeding anyway as long as that's possible.
* important changes in version 1.20 8/11/2004:
This release holds mostly bugfixes, in the form of a rewrite of
the handling of the 'prefix' header field.
- Rewrote 02_methods.t to be more independant
- Rewrote the way 'prefix' headers are dealt with
- Require IO::String now to do archive stringification
- Add new method 'full_path' to A::T::Item objects
- this is used to fix bug 6938
- A::T->new now accepts both a class and an object to be friendlier
to users
- On tar read errors, binary chunks are no longer dumped to STDOUT,
but instead the error offset is reported
- added protection code against bad_alloc exception
- new configure option to bypass libdl test
- removed expected exception list in deci, limitint, real_infinint
and storage modules to improve global robustness
- remove the #pragma implementation/interface directives
which tend today to become obsolete, and seems to be the
cause of compilation problem on (recent) Linux kernel 2.6.7
for example.
- added protection code to report bug conditions
- code simplification for filesystem reading (while performing
backup)
- fixed bug #29 (crash when saving hard link without read
permission)
- fixed code syntax to support gcc-3.4.x
Version 3.41
1. When adding new files to already existing RAR solid archive,
RAR 3.40 compression ratio was lower than in RAR 3.30.
Corrected in this version.
2. If archived Unicode name is invalid, RAR 'l' and 'v' commands
display ASCII file name instead of corrupt Unicode.
Version 3.40
1. "Fastest" (-m1) RAR compression method has been modified
to provide much higher compression speed and lower ratio.
It may be useful for tasks requiring the high speed like
regular backups.
You may increase "Fastest" speed even more selecting 64KB
compression dictionary instead of default 4MB.
2. Starting from this version, RAR volumes contain the volume number
field. Volume number is displayed by 'L' and 'V' commands
in the line with the total volume information.
This feature may be useful if original volume names are lost
and you need to rename them to correct names.
3. Commands 'L' and 'V' display NTFS "Compressed" attribute
in archive listing.
4. Switch -ag may include an optional text enclosed in '{' and '}'
characters. This text is inserted into archive name.
For example: -agHH{hours}MM{minutes}
5. Removed the erroneous "CRC error" message when unpacking symlinks
from archive created with -hp<pwd> switch. In fact, such symlinks
were unpacked correctly.
6. RAR displays the operation progress while repairing
an archive containing the recovery record.
anywhere, yet configure.ac declared an AC_REPLACE_FUNCS() for it. Rip out
the offending code from configure until it is rebuilt at the source.
(Patch to remove the AC_REPLACE_FUNCS submitted to author.)
version 2.8.3
-------------
* Fixed extraction without folders recreation.
version 2.8.2
-------------
* Avoid opening remote files in nautilus.
version 2.8.1
-------------
* Fixed bug #153837: Internal viewer vs. other application question is
asked for files that internal viewer can't even handle.
* Do not ask whether to use the internal viewer when there is a
registered application for the file type.
* Fixed bug #151113: crash trying to open zip file for extraction
* Fixed bug #152900: Multiple file/folder drag and drop needs to be
improved.
* A security vulnerability has been fixed. If the files within a
cabinet file include "../" in their filenames, this will be
changed to "xx/", so cabinets cannot access the parent directory
of where you want to extract them.
* cabextract should now compile cleanly on AIX and Cygwin.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
XXX: man page not updated (didn't find new version of suse
gtar man page which we're using in the package)
version 1.14 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2004-05-11
* Added support for POSIX.1-2001 and ustar archive formats.
* New option --format allows to select the output archive format
* The default output format can be selected at configuration time
by presetting the environment variable DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_FORMAT.
Allowed values are GNU, V7, OLDGNU and POSIX.
* New option --strip-path allows to cut off a given number of
path elements from the name of the file being extracted.
* New options --index-file, --no-overwrite-dir. The --overwrite-dir
option is now the default; use --no-overwrite-dir if you prefer
the previous default behavior.
* The semantics of -o option is changed. When extracting, it
does the same as --no-same-owner GNU tar option. This is compatible
with UNIX98 tar. Otherwise, its effect is the same as that of
--old-archive option. This latter is deprecated and will be removed
in future.
* New option --check-links prints a message if not all links are dumped
for a file being archived. This corresponds to the UNIX98 -l option.
The current semantics of the -l option is retained for compatibility
with previous releases, however such usage is strongly deprecated as
the option will change to its UNIX98 semantics in the future releases.
* New option --occurrence[=N] can be used in conjunction with one of
the subcommands --delete, --diff, --extract or --list when a list of
files is given either on the command line or via -T option. This
option instructs tar to process only the Nth occurrence of each named
file. N defaults to 1, so `tar -x -f archive --occurrence filename'
extracts the first occurrence of `filename' from `archive'
and terminates without scanning to the end of the archive.
* New option --pax-option allows to control the handling of POSIX
keywords in `pax' extended headers. It is equivalent to `pax'
-o option.
* --incremental and --listed-incremental options work correctly on
individual files, as well as on directories.
* New scripts: backup (replaces old level-0 and level-1) and restore.
The scripts are compiled and installed if --enable-backup-scripts
option is given to configure.
* By default tar searches "rmt" utility in "$prefix/libexec/rmt",
which is consistent with the location where the version of "rmt"
included in the package is installed. Previous versions of tar
used "/etc/rmt". To install "rmt" to its traditional location,
run configure with option --libexecdir=/etc. Otherwise, if you
already have rmt installed and wish to use it, instead of the
shipped in version, set the variable DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND to
the full path name of the utility, e.g. ./configure
DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND=/etc/rmt.
Notice also that the full path name of the "rmt" utility to
use can be set at runtime, by giving option --rmt-command to
tar.
* Removed obsolete command line options:
** --absolute-paths superseded by --absolute-names
** --block-compress is not needed any longer
** --block-size superseded by --blocking-factor
** --modification-time superseded by --touch
** --read-full-blocks superseded by --read-full-records
** --record-number superseded by --block-number
** --version-control superseded by --backup
* New message translations fi (Finnish), gl (Galician), hr (Croatian),
hu (Hungarian), ms (Malaysian), nb (Norwegian), ro (Romanian), sk
(Slovak), zh_CN (Chinese simplified), zh_TW (Chinese traditional).
The code 'no' for Norwegian (Bokmål) has been withdrawn; use 'nb' instead.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
version 2.8.0

-------------
* Updated the recent-files sources from libegg.
* Added more mime types to the desktop file.
version 2.7.3
-------------

* Fixed a leak and the display of the error message (bug #145440).
version 2.7.1
-------------

* Hide the main window when in batch mode.
* Allow to extract all the files, not only the selected files, from
an ISO image.
version 2.7.0
-------------
* Added read/extract support for ISO files. (bug #142316)
* Split the add dialog into two dialogs, one used to add files and the
other one used to add folders.
* Ask the distination folder after pasting a selection, this allows
the user to create new folders in the archive.
* Added content size and compression ratio in the properties dialog.
* Extract selection without creating the whole path. (bug #140971)
