The purpose of libmspack is to provide compressors and decompressors,
archivers and dearchivers for Microsoft compression formats: CAB, CHM, WIM,
LIT, HLP, KWAJ and SZDD. It is also designed to be easily embeddable,
stable, robust and resource-efficient.

Changelog not available, notable changes from the commit log:
- Fix a bug where invalid LZW data could cause out of bounds
access.
- Permit named pipes as input
- Fix bug in directory traversal
- Add warning for a zip file entry 4 GiB or larger
A little utility to unpack lz4json files as generated by Firefox's
bookmark backups. This is a different format from what the normal
lz4 utility expects.
---------------------------------- (From NEWS)
Changes in version 1.5:
zupdate now passes '-q' to zcmp if specified.
zcat, zgrep and ztest no longer read from standard input more than once
if '-' is specified multiple times.
zdiff now uses '_' as separator if both temporary file names are
otherwise different. For example 'xxx_file.lz' and 'xxx_file.gz'.
---------------------------------- (From ChangeLog)
2016-05-15 Antonio Diaz Diaz <antonio@gnu.org>
* Version 1.5 released.
* zupdate.cc (zupdate_file): Pass '-q' to zcmp if verbosity < 0.
* zcat.cc zgrep.cc ztest.cc (main): Don't use stdin more than once.
* zdiff.cc (set_fifonames): Use '_' if both names are different.
* configure: Avoid warning on some shells when testing for g++.
* Makefile.in: Detect the existence of install-info.
* testsuite/check.sh: A POSIX shell is required to run the tests.
(pkgsrc-changes)
- Add TEST_TARGET = check
(but make test fails for now)
The contents of FILESDIR may or or may have the user write bit set.
They contain generated files (list.h), and libarchive's build system
recreates these files by opening them for writing without first
removing them.
Discussed on tech-pkg@; thanks to dholland@ for suggesting chmod -R as
both the simplest change and the one least likely to need adjusting.
Zstd, short for Zstandard, is a fast lossless compression algorithm,
targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better
compression ratios.
Fix issue #53 / Correct fix for issue #49
par2creator: use proper buffer size for volume file name generation
bump 0.6.13
Merge pull request #51 from jcfp/master
Update commandline.cpp
add -N / -S options to manpage
Add test19
Fix issue #50 (scan failure) / Correct fix for issue #31 (slow scan)
Fixes to enable "make distcheck" to work:
Fix for #49 (Scanning extra files messes up verification)
create test for #49
Merge pull request #48 from jcfp/patch-1
add missing argument for the block-count option
5.24:
KArchive
* Ensure extracting an archive does not install files outside the
extraction folder, for security reasons. Instead, extract such
files to the root of the extraction folder.
5.25:
KArchive
* Handle multiple gzip streams
* Assume a directory is a directory, even if the permission bit
is set wrong

Version 16.02
=============
- From Windows version of 7-Zip 16.02:
- The BUG in 16.00 - 16.01 was fixed: 7-Zip mistakenly reported the warning
"There are some data after the end of the payload data" for split archives.
Version 16.01 (never published)
=============
- From Windows version of 7-Zip 16.01:
- The bugs in SWM (WIM), EXE (PE) and CHM code were fixed.
- there are some internal changes in source code for better compatibility with VS2015 C++ compiler.
Version 16.00 (never published)
=============
- better support for OpenBsd (CPP/Windows/System.cpp), thanks Josh (https://sourceforge.net/p/p7zip/discussion/383043/thread/ee32dcd8/?limit=25#c322)
- From Windows version of 7-Zip 16.00:
- 7-Zip now can extract multivolume ZIP archives (z01, z02, ... , zip).
- Some fixed bugs:
- bzip2 decoder -mmt2 reported E_FAIL (for k_My_HRESULT_WritingWasCut case), if we extract partial file.
- 7z solid update (hang in break)
- sha1 worked incorrectly for call after call with ((size & 3) != 0)
- 7z update bcj bugs were fixed.
- split (aaa.001) fixed
- iso loop fix
- rar4 multivol -stdin kpidSize
- drag and drop 1<2.txt
- memory access violation fix
A replacement for the builtin zipfile module, with fast, C-based zipfile
decryption
czipfile is a replacement for Python's builtin "zipfile" module, and provides
much faster, C-based zipfile decryption. The code is actually 95% identical to
Python 2.6.5's Lib/zipfile.py, with some very minor modifications to allow it
to compile in Cython, and the _ZipDecrypter class adapted to take advantage of
native C datatypes.
Package provided by Kimihiro Nonaka in PR 51326, with some cleanups by myself.
(Fix typo in MASTER_SITES, pkglint.)
ocaml 4.03 and the latest framework version. Discussed on packages@ and
OK'd by jperkin.
Changes include:
- Switch to "safe string" mode. Some API functions that use to take
strings now take byte sequences instead. OCaml 4.02 or up is required.
- Update for OCaml 4.03.
- Avoid Zlib error when calling Gzip.output with length = 0.
- Improve support for ZIP files / ZIP file members greater than 2 Gbytes.
v0.3.1 (2016-03-29):
* This release fixes an integer underflow vulnerability in the
code for doing LZH level 3 header decodes (TALOS-CAN-0095).
Thanks go to Marcin Noga and Regina Wilson of Cisco TALOS for
reporting this vulnerability.
