- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.55 :
- Some bugs were fixed
- fixed 1789154: 7z use default or -m0=LZMA runtime error under HP-UX IA11.23
- support added for HPUX on Itanium.
Changes 4.54:
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.54:
- Decompression speed was increased
This is a minor release. Changes from 2.3.4 are:
- changed displayed message when adding a hard link to an archive while
performing a differential backup
- added back the possibility to use old blowfish implementation (bfw cipher)
- integrated optimization patch from Sonni Norlov
- updated Swedish translation by Peter Landgren
- updated French translation
- fixed broken Native Language Support in 2.3.x (where x<5)
- bsdcpio now supports most of the older SUSv2 specs [not default yet]
- mtree reader to specify file arguments (experimental)
- handle gtar 1.17 sparse files (instead of the older 1.16)
- refined suid/sgid handling: it is optional if the bits can't be reset
if owner restore is also not requested
- fixes for QNX from Sean Boudreau
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.53 :
- The bug in 7-Zip 4.48 - 4.52 beta was fixed:
7-Zip could create .ZIP archives with broken files.
- Some bugs were fixed.
Changes 4.52:
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.52 :
- 7z now can unpack Compound files (msi, doc, ...).
- Some bugs were fixed (CAB decompressing)
- lzma (CPP/7zip/Compress/LZMA_Alone) is now multi-threaded.
- fixed 632912: Extracting large directories takes quadratic time
(this bug was not fully fixed ...)
- fixed: "7za x -odirectory archive.7z" now works even if "directory" is a symbolic link.
- makefile.linux_s390x added : support for Linux on IBM z/Series Mainframe with s390x CPU
- fixed crashes on BeOs with the flag "@filename"
- cleanup in the makefile : defining LITTLE_ENDIAN or BIG_ENDIAN is not needed anymore
- ppmd.exe added (CPP/7zip/Compress/PPMD_Alone)
of an emulated operating system. Instead of proliferating things like
SUSE_VERSION_REQD, NETBSD_VERSION_REQD, SOLARIS_VERSION_REQD, etc., a
package can say:
EMUL_REQD= suse>=9.1 netbsd>=2.0 solaris>=10
all in one, succinct line.
Pkgsrc changes:
- Use an option group for dar-int32 Vs dar-int64 Vs neither (infinint)
- Default to dar-int64 (the infinint support is excessive, and hugely
expensive)
- REPLACE_FOO doesn't work if FOO isn't a dependency, and we don't want to
pull in Bash and Perl just for a few samples! So, don't replace the
interpreters in the samples, just leave them as is.
ChangeLog from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4:
- fixed behavior when differential backup is interrupted (no more store file
that would have been read if no interruption had been done as "deleted"
since thearchive of reference) [SF #1669091].
- added official method to access catalogue's statistics through the API (for
kdar next version).
- Fixed syntax error in dar_par_create.duc and dar_par_test.duc files
(Parchive integration with dar).
- minor spelling fix in error message (compressor.cpp)
- added Wiebe Cazemier's two patches for dar man page
- integrated patch from Dwayne C. Litzenberger to fix weakness in dar's
implementation of the blowfish encryption.
- improved the returned message when an invalid path is given as argument
- updated doc/sample/sample1.txt script file
Pkgsrc changes:
- none
Changes since version 1.32:
===========================
* important changes in version 1.34 15/8/2007:
- Address #28687: Fwd: Unespected reaction of Archive::Tar
A::T didn't always handle filenames that evaluated to false
(like '0') gracefully. This patch adds a few 'or defined' check
to the A::T codebase and a test to ensure filenames like '0' are
handeled correctly.
- Apply #28407: Unicode and Archive::Tar - documentation patch as
FAQ patch
binary-only packages that require binary "emulation" on the native
operating system. Please see pkgsrc/mk/emulator/README for more
details.
* Teach the plist framework to automatically use any existing
PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM} as part of the default PLIST_SRC definition.
* Convert all of the binary-only packages in pkgsrc to use the
emulator framework. Most of them have been tested to install and
deinstall correctly. This involves the following cleanup actions:
* Remove use of custom PLIST code and use PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM}
more consistently.
* Simplify packages by using default INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts
instead of custom INSTALL/DEINSTALL code.
* Remove "SUSE_COMPAT32" and "PKG_OPTIONS.suse" from pkgsrc.
Packages only need to state exactly which emulations they support,
and the framework handles any i386-on-x86_64 or sparc-on-sparc64
uses.
* Remove "USE_NATIVE_LINUX" from pkgsrc. The framework will
automatically detect when the package is installing on Linux.
Specific changes to packages include:
* Bump the PKGREVISIONs for all of the suse100* and suse91* packages
due to changes in the +INSTALL/+DEINSTALL scripts used in all
of the packages.
* Remove pkgsrc/emulators/suse_linux, which is unused by any
packages.
* cad/lc -- remove custom code to create the distinfo file for
all supported platforms; just use "emul-fetch" and "emul-distinfo"
instead.
* lang/Cg-compiler -- install the shared libraries under ${EMULDIR}
instead of ${PREFIX}/lib so that compiled programs will find
the shared libraries.
* mail/thunderbird-bin-nightly -- update to latest binary
distributions for supported platforms.
* multimedia/ns-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.
* security/uvscan -- set LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly so that
it's not necessary to install library symlinks into
${EMULDIR}/usr/local/lib.
* www/firefox-bin-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.50 :

Changes since 1.0:
Changes in 1.0.2 (Jul 25, 2007)
- Added support to directly compress files without using threads
when files are smaller than the specified block size or the
system only has 1 CPU. This will speed things up considerably
if you are compressing many small files. You can force this
behaviour by using -p1
- Added support for pbunzip2 symlink to automatically specify
decompression mode
- Changed pbzip2 exit code behaviour to match bzip2 for all error
states (ie: trying to compress a file that already has a .bz2
extension)
Changes in 1.0.1 (Mar 20, 2007)
- Added #ifdef PBZIP_NO_LOADAVG to remove load average code for
UNIX systems that do not support it such as HP-UX and OSF1
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.49 :
- 7-Zip (7z) now can unpack WIM archives
- fixed : On Sparc Solaris, core dump during "7z a -sfx exe.x dir" with p7zip compiled with makefile.solaris_sparc_CC_32
- some code cleanup
- On HPUX, p7zip can get the number of CPU and the size of the memory.
- From Windows version of 7-zip 4.48:
- Encryption strength for .7z format was increased.
Now it uses random initialization vectors.
- Some bugs were fixed.
- fixed 1729236: Makefile infrastructure not safe for parallel compilation
(if your make command understands -C and -j4, copy makefile.parallel_jobs over makefile)
- Now the executables are not built with the PIC (position-independent code) flag.
7z.so are still built with the PIC flag.
7za and 7zr are now faster than 7z with 7z.so.
7za, 7zr and 7r are now smaller.
- contrib/gzip-like_CLI_wrapper_for_7z/p7zip now supports spaces in filename
and use 7za instead of 7z.
- contrib/qnx630sp3 added to support QNX built
* important changes in version 1.32 24/5/2007:
- Make Archive::Tar work nicely with perls compiled with
-Dmksymlinks. This also fixes an issue introduced in
1.31 where symlinks weren't dereferenced in all cases.
- Quell warnings when a gid is not resolvable to a group name
* important changes in version 1.31 18/5/2007:
- No longer use the t/setup.t and t/cleanup.t files but just bundle
the binary files; this was done for core integration, but the new
uupacktool.pl script means we dont have to do this anymore
_ Apply core perl Change 30997 by rgs@stcosmo on 2007/04/20 15:03:57
- Address: #27124: Unneeded warning sent when checking for file
inclusion contains_file() will no longer warn to STDERR when a file
is not contained in an archive and $WARN is set to 'true'.
- Address #26492: Dangling symlinks not preserved: Archive::Tar used
to complain about dangling symlinks, unlike standard gnu tar, which
would add them silently. This patch brings A::T's behaviour in line
with gnu tar
- Minor pod fixes
* important changes in version 1.30 8/2/2006:
- applied bleadperl patch: Subject: Change 27416:
Cleanup Archive-Tar temporary test files
- address #17985: INSTALLDIRS needs to be 'perl' for >= perl-5.9.3
- address #18296: Archive::Tar 1.29 PATCH for VMS to fix test case
failure in 99_pod.t
(it's actually a File::Find bug, but this patch works around that)
- address: #18720 ([PATCH] Archive::Tar creates POSIX style tar files
unnecessarily and by default, leading to compatibility problems
particularly with WinZip.)
patch rejected, docpatch added with FAQ and SEE ALSO
- apply performance patch from #20399 to enable the user to
avoid repeated calls to cwd() if desired.
