* important changes in version 1.72 18/11/2010
- Apply patch from Grant McLean to update docs for
ptargrep
* important changes in version 1.70 15/11/2010
- Add ptargrep utility courtesy of Grant McLean
* The memory usage limit is now disabled by default.
* Added support for XZ_DEFAULTS environment variable.
* The compression settings associated with the preset levels
-0 ... -9 have been changed. --extreme was changed a little too.
* If a preset level (-0 ... -9) is specified after a custom filter
chain options have been used (e.g. --lzma2), the custom filter
chain will be forgotten. Earlier the preset options were
completely ignored after custom filter chain options had been seen.
* xz will create sparse files when decompressing if the uncompressed
data contains long sequences of binary zeros.
* Support for "xz --list" was added. Combine with --verbose or
--verbose --verbose (-vv) for detailed output.
* I had hoped that liblzma API would have been stable after
4.999.9beta, but there have been a couple of changes in the
advanced features, which don't affect most applications:
- Index handling code was revised. If you were using the old
API, you will get a compiler error (so it's easy to notice).
- A subtle but important change was made to the Block handling
API. lzma_block.version has to be initialized even for
lzma_block_header_decode(). Code that doesn't do it will work
for now, but might break in the future, which makes this API
change easy to miss.
* The major soname has been bumped to 5.0.0. liblzma API and ABI
are now stable, so the need to recompile programs linking against
liblzma shouldn't arise soon.
Libarchive is a programming library that can create and read several
different streaming archive formats, including most popular tar
variants, several cpio formats, and both BSD and GNU ar variants.
* Use lang/ruby/gem.mk.
= Version 0.9.4
Changed ZipOutputStream.put_next_entry signature (API CHANGE!). Now
allows comment, extra field and compression method to be specified.
= Version 0.9.3
Fixed: Added ZipEntry::name_encoding which retrieves the character
encoding of the name and comment of the entry. Also added convenience
methods ZipEntry::name_in(enc) and ZipEntry::comment_in(enc) for
getting zip entry names and comments in a specified character
encoding.
= Version 0.9.2
Fixed: Renaming an entry failed if the entry's new name was a
different length than its old name. (Diego Barros)
Upstream changes:
* important changes in version 1.68 17/08/2010
- Apply a patch from Colin Newell that checks whether long files can be created or
not in 02_methods.t. Hopefully resolves RT #57312 and RT #56163
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
pkgsrc changes:
- mark package included in Perl5 CORE
Upstream changes:
* important changes in version 1.66 26/07/2010
- Applied a patch from Alexandr Ciornii [RT#59699] to Makefile.PL which
produces better META.yml
- Apply a patch from Alexandr Ciornii to ptar [RT#59700]:
Adds option -C to allow archives created with ptar to be uploaded to
PAUSE in case of Windows or world +w permissions on unix.
* important changes in version 1.64 09/07/2010
- Removed the PERL_CORE specific chdir from all the tests
- Apply a patch from David Muir Sharnoff RT #58916,
"skip files via a callback and limit memory use when skipping files"
- Apply a patch from Daphne Pfister RT #59150
"Assumes all references filename are IO::Handle's instead of trying
to stringify."
* important changes in version 1.62 28/06/2010
- Apply part of patch from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=426194
reported by Martin Cermak in RT #58636 relating to a Redhat ticket
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606813
* important changes in version 1.60 23/04/2010
- Apply patch from Darrell K. [RT #54850] that makes write() and
create_archive() close only handles they opened.
When you pass a filehandle to Archive::Tar::write() or create_archive(),
it closes the filehandle after writing to it. I think it makes more
sense not to close a handle that A::T didn't open, since the application
may need to write additional data to it. (Consider sockets, package
files containing encapsulated tar archives, etc.)
Example:
$ perl -e 'use Archive::Tar; open(PKG, ">mypkg") or die "open: $!"; my
$tar = Archive::Tar->new; $tar->add_data("foo.txt","hello");
$tar->write(\*PKG); print PKG "more data" or die "print: $!";'
print: Bad file descriptor at -e line 1.
- Fool the installer into replacing our scripts that were installed by
core with versiononly set.
