0.11.2 [2013/12/19]
* Support querying/setting operating system and external attributes.
* For newly added files, set operating system to UNIX, permissions
to 0666 (0777 for directories).
* Fix bug when writing zip archives containing files bigger than 4GB.
* Decompression of archives using the -lhx- file format supported by
unlha32.dll is now supported (thanks Multi for the patch).
* The -p (print to stdout) command line option is now supported.
* The test suite should now run correctly on Windows.
Bugs fixed:
* Bug where archives read from pipes (eg. stdin) were not extracted
beyond the first file in the archive.
* Output when using the -w (extract directory) option now correctly
matches the output of Unix lha.
Compression program optimised for large files. The larger the file and the
more memory you have, the better the compression advantage this will provide,
especially once the files are larger than 100MB. The advantage can be chosen
to be either size (much smaller than bzip2) or speed (much faster than bzip2).
Changes in version 1.15:
Lziprecover can now repair multi-member files with up to one byte error
per member, without having to split them first.
Lziprecover can now merge multi-member files without having to split
them first even if some copies have the header and the trailer damaged.
The chapters "Repairing files", "Merging files" and "Unzcrash" have been
added to the manual.
Changes in version 1.15:
Lzip now shows the progress of compression at verbosity level 2 (-vv).
Decompressing and testing no more show file version.
Option "-n, --threads" is now accepted and ignored for compatibility
with plzip.
The configure script now accepts options with a separate argument.
The chapter "Stream format" and the appendix "Reference source code"
have been added to the manual.
This package contains the unrar library.
unRAR is a utility to extract, test and view the contents of archives
created with the RAR archiver, version 1.50 and above. The unRAR
utility is a minor part of the RAR archiver and contains RAR
uncompression algorithm. UnRAR requires very small volume of memory to
operate.
The license for this software states that "the code may not be used to
develop a RAR (WinRAR) compatible archiver."
Archive::Any::Lite is a fork of Archive::Any. The main difference is this works
properly even when you fork(), and may require less memory to extract a tarball.
On the other hand, this isn't pluggable (this only supports file formats used in
the CPAN toolchains), and this doesn't check mime types (at least as of this
writing).
* POSIX-ism: they have determined that uudecode is not expected
to exit failure when the output file mode cannot be changed.
Either POSIXLY_CORRECT or --ignore-chmod will cause uudecode
to behave this way.
* output file names may be encoded in the uuencoded file.
By specifying '--encode' on the command line, the output
file name will be base64 encoded in the uuencode file.
* lzmadec and liblzma's lzma_alone_decoder(): Support decompressing
.lzma files that have less common settings in the headers
(dictionary size other than 2^n or 2^n + 2^(n-1), or uncompressed
size greater than 256 GiB). The limitations existed to avoid false
positives when detecting .lzma files. The lc + lp <= 4 limitation
still remains since liblzma's LZMA decoder has that limitation.
NOTE: xz's .lzma support or liblzma's lzma_auto_decoder() are NOT
affected by this change. They still consider uncommon .lzma headers
as not being in the .lzma format. Changing this would give way too
many false positives.
* xz:
- Interaction of preset and custom filter chain options was
made less illogical. This affects only certain less typical
uses cases so few people are expected to notice this change.
Now when a custom filter chain option (e.g. --lzma2) is
specified, all preset options (-0 ... -9, -e) earlier are on
the command line are completely forgotten. Similarly, when
a preset option is specified, all custom filter chain options
earlier on the command line are completely forgotten.
Example 1: "xz -9 --lzma2=preset=5 -e" is equivalent to "xz -e"
which is equivalent to "xz -6e". Earlier -e didn't put xz back
into preset mode and thus the example command was equivalent
to "xz --lzma2=preset=5".
Example 2: "xz -9e --lzma2=preset=5 -7" is equivalent to
"xz -7". Earlier a custom filter chain option didn't make
xz forget the -e option so the example was equivalent to
"xz -7e".
- Fixes and improvements to error handling.
- Various fixes to the man page.
* xzless: Fixed to work with "less" versions 448 and later.
* xzgrep: Made -h an alias for --no-filename.
* Include the previously missing debug/translation.bash which can
be useful for translators.
* Include a build script for Mac OS X. This has been in the Git
repository since 2010 but due to a mistake in Makefile.am the
script hasn't been included in a release tarball before.
