libarchive 3.3.3:
Avoid super-linear slowdown on malformed mtree files
Many fixes for building with Visual Studio
NO_OVERWRITE doesn't change existing directory attributes
New support for Zstandard read and write filters
This is a maintenance update to fix issues with the new RAR seeking
feature. This new release also contains fixes for build failures when
building libarchive using Visual Studio 2012 and MinGW.
- Fix NULL deference for short self-extracting zip archives
- Don't dereference symlinks on Linux when reading ACLs
- Better detection of SHA2 support for old OpenSSL versions
- Fix parsing of input files for bsdtar -T
- Do not leak setup_xattr into the global namespace
- Fix build when an older libarchive is already installed
- Use O_BINARY opening files in bsdtar
- Include missing archive_crc32.h
- Correctly include iconv.h required by libxml2
- Infrastructure:
- Allow command line tools as fallback for missing compression
libraries. If compiled without gzip for example, gunzip will
be used automatically.
- Improved support for a number of platforms like high-resolution
timestamps and Extended Attributes on various Unix systems
- New convience interface for creating archives based on disk content,
complement of the archive_write_disk interface.
- Frontends:
- bsdcpio ready for public consumption
- hand-written date parser replaces the yacc code
- Filter system:
- Simplified read filter chains
- Option support for filters
- LZMA, XZ, uudecode handled
- Format support:
- Write support for mtree files based on file system or archive
content
- Basic read support for Joliet
- Write support for zip files
- Write support for shar archives, both text-only and binary-safe
- much improved mtree support
- fix a number of non-exploitable integer and buffer overflows
- bsdtar get -s and SIGINFO/SIGUSR1 support
- fix hardlink extraction bug where latter hardlinks would overwrite the
permissions of earlier entries even when they don't carry data
- fix bsdtar crashes on entries with empty filenames
