- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.18 and 4.17 :
- minor fixes
- p7zip can now store and restore :
- symbolic links,
- file permission bits
Remark : for directory, restored_perm = stored_perm | 0700 .
- fix in install.sh
- On MacOSX, p7zip now restore times of a file.
- more detailed errors during scanning stage.
Version 4.16
============
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.16 :
- Speed optimization (5%) for 7z / LZMA
- 7za now supports .Z archives
- -r- switch in command line now is default for all commands
- Some bugs were fixed
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.15 :
- Z format supporting (extracting only)
- 7-Zip now can extract ZIP archives compressed with "Shrink" method
- 7-Zip now doesn't interrupt the compressing when it can not open file.
7-Zip just skips that file and shows warning.
- Some bugs were fixed
- man pages added (thanks to Mohammed Adnene Trojette)
- bug #1112167 fixed (Temporary directory must be on same partition as target)
p7zip failed moving the temporary file at the end of
compressing to target file if the directories don't reside
on the same partition (or network path).
- bug #1164659 fixed (Invalid file date for "big endian" machine)
- p7zip now uses ".so" instead of ".dll"
- p7zip now handles "ctrl-c" and "kill" to cleanup temporary files before exiting
- p7zip now runs on BeOS.
- better support of filenames with spaces.
- some code cleanup
- "myWindows/myFiles.cpp" is now in "Windows/FileIO.cpp"
- "myWindows/myFindFile.cpp" is now in "Windows/FileFind.cpp"
- "myWindows/myDirectoryAndPath.cpp" is now in "Windows/FileDir.cpp"
- "myWindows/myEvents.cpp" is now in "Windows/Synchronization.cpp"
- "myWindows/wine_strings.cpp" is now in "Windows/String.cpp"
"A vulnerability in GNU Sharutils was reported, which can be potentially
exploited by malicious, local users to conduct certain actions on
a vulnerable system with escalated privileges."
Patch from Debian. Bump PKGREVISION.
"Multiple buffer overflows in sharutils 4.2.1 and earlier may allow attackers
to execute arbitrary code via long output from wc to shar, or unknown vectors
in unshar."
Patch from SuSE/Gentoo. Also add more sanity checking patches from the latter.
New in 0.9.2:
* Created workaround for a major pthreads problem (on Linux at
least) that would cause segfaults and missed signals in the
pthreads library itself when mutexes or signals were
created/destroyed too quickly. This used to happen when
processing multiple files, but now pbzip2 only generates its
mutexes and signals at the beginning and reuses the same ones
for multiple files. Special thanks to George Chalissery for help
with this one.
* Increased size of BZIP2 header match from 56 bits to 72 bits for
more accurate detection
* Modified some buffers to use the vector class for easier memory
management and to eliminate one read pass of the input data for
decompression so should be slightly faster.
* Now checks if input file exists before checking if output file
already exists (when not using -f)
* Now checks to ensure input is regular file and not a directory
before processing
* Now deletes input file only if output file exists and is greater
than 0 bytes (-k will always preserve input file)
* Now checks input file for bzip2 header before trying to
decompress file
* Minor code cleanup
New in 0.9.1
* Fixed bug: -c switch now implies -k so input file is not deleted
when data is output to stdout
New in 0.9.0:
* Added -c switch for data output to stdout
* Added -t switch to test integrity of compressed data
* Added autodetection for # of CPUs on supported platforms and
made detected value default # CPUs to use
* Fixed bug where pbzip2 processed 0 byte files
* Tried to make program exit codes the same as bzip2

- Include mount.h to use statfs.

but no easy solution.)

o fix a gzip decompression issue and add better error reporting
for certain file I/O and decompression errors.
"cpio uses a 0 umask when creating files using the -O (archive) or -F
options, which creates the files with mode 0666 and allows local users
to read or overwrite those files."
Patch inspired by Debian. Bump PKGREVISION.
prototype argument for the second parameter of iconv(). This is true for
all but some release candidates of NetBSD-2.0, because either the
package converters/libiconv is used or there's a current <iconv.h>.
Needed for NetBSD-1.6.2. Approved by wiz.
Relevant change,
+5.52 (28 Feb 05):
+ - win32/win32.c - defer_dir_attribs(): fixed critical "mem-access to
+ nirwana" bug when processing directory entries without any local
+ extra field; added some explaining comments
Changes:
The 5.52 maintenance release fixes a few minor problems found in the 5.51
release, closes some more security holes, adds a new AtheOS port, and
contains a Win32 extra-field code cleanup that was not finished earlier.
The most important changes are:
- (re)enabled unshrinking support by default, the LZW patents have expired
- fixed an extraction size bug for encrypted stored entries (12 excess bytes
were written with 5.51)
- fixed false "uncompressed size mismatch" messages when extracting encrypted
archive entries
- do not restore SUID/SGID/Tacky attribute bits on Unix (BeOS, AtheOS) unless
explicitely requested by new "-K" command line qualifier
- optional support for "-W" qualifier to modify the pattern matching syntax
(with -W: "*" stops at directory delimiter, "**" matches unlimited)
- prevent buffer overflow caused by bogus extra-long Zipfile specification
- performance enhancements for VMS port
- fixed windll interface handling of its extraction mode qualifiers nfflag,
ExtractOnlyNewer, noflag, PromptToOverwrite; added detailed explanation of
their meanings and interactions to the windll documentation
Bug fixes:
-- Few bugs that caused overflow of the output buffer were fixed.
New features:
-- For information about changes in the SZIP source code see
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/doc_resource/SZIP/Release_notes_2_0.pdf
-- This release supports shared libraries.
See "Known problems" section for additional information.
