* release 5.38
2019-12-15 22:13 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
Document changes since the previous release:
- Always accept -S (no sandbox) even if we don't support sandboxing
- More syscalls elided for sandboxiing
- For ELF dynamic means having an interpreter not just PT_DYNAMIC
- Check for large ELF session header offset
- When saving and restoring a locale, keep the locale name in our
own storage.
- Add a flag to disable CSV file detection.
- Don't pass NULL/0 to memset to appease sanitizers.
- Avoid spurious prints when looks for extensions or apple strings
in fsmagic.
- Add builtin decompressors for xz and and bzip.
- Add a limit for the number of CDF elements.
- More checks for overflow in CDF.
Fix unbalanced regex (fixes build with some sed flavors).
file 5.28

* Count recursion levels through indirect magic
2014-02-11 10:40 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* Prevent infinite recursion on files with indirect offsets of 0
2014-01-30 21:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* Add -E flag that makes file print filesystem errors to stderr
and exit.
2014-01-08 17:20 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* mime printing could print results from multiple magic entries
if there were multiple matches.
* in some cases overflow was not detected when computing offsets
in softmagic.
2013-12-05 12:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* use strcasestr() to for cdf strings
* reset to the "C" locale while doing regex operations, or case
insensitive comparisons; this is provisional
2013-11-19 20:10 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* always leave magic file loaded, don't unload for magic_check, etc.
* fix default encoding to binary instead of unknown which broke recently
* handle empty and one byte files, less specially so that
--mime-encoding does not break completely.

2013-11-06 14:40 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* fix erroneous non-zero exit code from non-existant file and message
2013-10-29 14:25 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* add CDF MSI file detection (Guy Helmer)
2013-09-03 11:56 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* Don't mix errors and regular output if there was an error
* in magic_descriptor() don't close the file and try to restore
its position
2013-05-30 17:25 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* Don't treat magic as an error if offset was past EOF (Christoph Biedl)
2013-05-28 17:25 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* Fix spacing issues in softmagic and elf (Jan Kaluza)
2013-05-02 18:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* Fix segmentation fault with multiple magic_load commands.
2013-04-22 11:20 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* The way "default" was implemented was not very useful
because the "if something was printed at that level"
was not easily controlled by the user, and the format
was bound to a string which is too restrictive. Add
a "clear" for that level keyword and make "default"
void. This way one can do:
>>13 clear x
>>13 lelong 1 foo
>>13 lelong 2 bar
>>13 default x
>>>13 lelong x unknown %x

2013-01-11 14:50 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

* Change fsmagic to add a space after it prints.
2013-01-10 21:00 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* Make getline public so that file can link against it.
Perhaps it is better to rename it, or hide it differently.
Fixes builds on platforms that do not provide it.
2013-01-07 16:30 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

I updated this because old version I was using had false-positive
with "Macintosh HFS data" -- file(1) saw a postscript file wrong
and broke some printing tasks. The distfile was no longer on MASTER_SITES
so updated. This fixed my Poscript problem.
Changes include:
2005-01-12 00:00 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* src/ascmagic.c (file_ascmagic): Fix three bugs about text files:
If a CRLF text file happens to have CR at offset HOWMANY - 1
(currently 0xffff), it should not be counted as CR line
terminator.
If a line has length exactly MAXLINELEN, it should not yet be
treated as a ``very long line'', as MAXLINELEN is ``longest sane
line length''.
With CRLF, the line length was not computed correctly, and even
lines of length MAXLINELEN - 1 were treated as ``very long''.
2004-12-07 14:15 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
* bzip2 needs a lot of input buffer space on some files
before it can begin uncompressing. This makes file -z
fail on some bz2 files. Fix it by giving it a copy of
the file descriptor to read as much as it wants if we
have access to it. <christos@zoulas.com>
2004-11-24 12:39 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

File is a file classification program. This version is the standard "file"
command for Linux, *BSD, and other systems. This is Ian Darwin's file(1)
command. It is maintained by Christos Zoulas.
Package supplied by Jeremy C. Reed in PR#20774 and also in pkgsrc-wip.
Thanks Jeremy.
