Some of new features:
- New readers: RAR, LHA/LZH, CAB reader, 7-Zip
- New writers: ISO9660, XAR
- Improvements to many formats, especially including ISO9660 and Zip
- Stackable write filters to write, e.g., tar.gz.uu in a single pass
- Exploit seekable input; new "seekable" Zip reader can exploit the Zip
Central Directory when it's available; the old "streamable" Zip reader
is still fully supported for cases where seeking is not possible.

The following additional vendor revisions are applied:
Revision 3740:
Use archive_clear_error() to clear the error markers.
Obtained from: http://code.google.com/p/libarchive
MFC after: 2 weeks
violated ECMA-119 (ISO9660): allow reserved4 to be 0x20 in PVD.
This allows tar to read FreeBSD distribution ISO images created
with makefs prior to NetBSD bin/45217 bugfix (up to 9.0-BETA1).
In addition, merge following important bugfixes from
libarchive's release/2.8 branch:
Revision 2812:
Merge 2811 from trunk: Don't try to verify that compression-level=0
produces larger results than the default compression, since this isn't
true for all versions of liblzma.
Revision 2817:
Merge 2814 from trunk: Fix Issue 121 (mtree parser error)
http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/issues/detail?id=121
Revision 2820:
Fix issue 119.
Change the file location check that a file location does not exceed
volume block. New one is that a file content does not exceed volume
block(end of an ISO image). It is better than previous check even
if the issue did not happen.
While reading an ISO image generated by an older version of mkisofs
utility, a file location indicates the end the ISO image if its file
size is zero and it is the last file of all files of the ISO image,
so it is possible that the location value is the same as the number
of the total block of the ISO image.

Revision 2955:
Issue 134: Fix libarchive 2.8 crashing in archive_write_finish() when
the open has failed and we're trying to write Zip format.
http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/issues/detail?id=134
Revision 2958:
Followup on Issue 134:
1) Port test_open_failure to libarchive 2.8 branch to test
the problem reported in Issue 134.
This test also shows that archive_read_open() sometimes
fails to report open errors correctly.
2) Fix the bug in archive_read.c
3) Comment out the tests that close functions are invoked
promptly when open fails; that's fully fixed in libarchive 3.0,
but I don't think it's worth fixing here.
Revision 3484:
Use uintmax_t with %ju
Revision 3487:
Fix issue 163.
Correctly allocate enough memory for a input buffer saved.
http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/issues/detail?id=163
Revision 3542:
Merge 2516, 2536 from trunk: Allow path table offset values of
0 and 18, which are used by some ISO writers.

read_support_format_raw() allows people to exploit libarchive's
automatic decompression support by simply stubbing out the
archive format handler.
The raw handler is not enabled by support_format_all(), of course.
It bids 1 on any non-empty input and always returns a single
entry named "data" with no properties set.
Fix reading big-endian binary cpio archives, and add a test.
While I'm here, add a note about Solaris ACL extension for cpio,

Restoring POSIX.1e Extended Attributes on FreeBSD, part 1
This implements the basic ability to restore extended attributes
on FreeBSD, including a test suite.
from libarchive.googlecode.com: Add a new "archive_read_disk" API
that provides the important service of reading metadata from the
disk. In particular, this will make it possible to remove all
knowledge of extended attributes, ACLs, etc, from clients such
as bsdtar and bsdcpio.
Closely related, this API also provides pluggable uid->uname
and gid->gname lookup and caching services similar to
the uname->uid and gname->gid services provided by archive_write_disk.
Remember this is also required for correct ACL management.
Documentation is still pending...
In archive_write_disk: If archive_write_header() fails to create
the file, that's a failure and should return ARCHIVE_FAILED.
Metadata restore failures still return ARCHIVE_WARN, because
that's non-critical. Fix test_write_disk_secure test to
verify the correct return code in one case; add test_write_disk_failures
to do another very simple test of restore failure.
This should fix cpio coredumping when it tries to restore to
a write-protected directory.

* support for bzip2 file with multiple concatenated bzip2 streams
* support for bzip2 file with junk after bzip2 stream
* support for gzip file with junk after gzip stream
* "fuzz" tester randomly modifies a bunch of input files in order to try
to crash libarchive (this found an amusing hang in the ISO9660 code
when trying to read images that advertised a zero blocksize).
This test is implemented, but commented out for now:
* support for gzip file with multiple concatenated gzip streams
feedback, but the 2.5 branch is shaping up nicely.)
In addition to many small bug fixes and code improvements:
* Another iteration of versioning; I think I've got it right now.
* Portability: A lot of progress on Windows support (though I'm
not committing all of the Windows support files to FreeBSD CVS)
* Explicit tracking of MBS, WCS, and UTF-8 versions of strings
in archive_entry; the archive_entry routines now correctly return
NULL only when something is unset, setting NULL properly clears
string values. Most charset conversions have been pushed down to
archive_string.
* Better handling of charset conversion failure when writing or
reading UTF-8 headers in pax archives
* archive_entry_linkify() provides multiple strategies for
hardlink matching to suit different format expectations
* More accurate bzip2 format detection
* Joerg Sonnenberger's extensive improvements to mtree support
* Rough support for self-extracting ZIP archives. Not an ideal
approach, but it works for the archives I've tried.
* New "sparsify" option in archive_write_disk converts blocks of nulls
into seeks.
* Better default behavior for the test harness; it now reports
all failures by default instead of coredumping at the first one.
(including pathname, gname, uname) be stored in UTF-8. This usually
doesn't cause problems on FreeBSD because the "C" locale on FreeBSD
can convert any byte to Unicode/wchar_t and from there to UTF-8. In
other locales (including the "C" locale on Linux which is really
ASCII), you can get into trouble with pathnames that cannot be
converted to UTF-8.
Libarchive's pax writer truncated pathnames and other strings at the
first nonconvertible character. (ouch!) Other archivers have worked
around this by storing unconvertible pathnames as raw binary, a
practice which has been sanctioned by the Austin group. However,
libarchive's pax reader would segfault reading headers that weren't
proper UTF-8. (ouch!) Since bsdtar defaults to pax format, this
affects bsdtar rather heavily.
To correctly support the new "hdrcharset" header that is going into
SUS and to handle conversion failures in general, libarchive's pax reader
and writer have been overhauled fairly extensively. They used to do
most of the pax header processing using wchar_t (Unicode); they now do
most of it using char so that common logic applies to either UTF-8 or
"binary" strings.
As a bonus, a number of extraneous conversions to/from wchar_t have
been eliminated, which should speed things up just a tad.

write a new test to exercise the hardlink strategies used
by different archive formats (tar, old cpio, new cpio).
This uncovered two problems, both fixed by this commit:
1) Enforce file size when writing files to disk.
2) When restoring hardlink entries, if they have data associated, go
ahead and open the file so we can write the data.
In particular, this fixes bsdtar/bsdcpio extraction of new cpio
formats where the "original" is empty and the subsequent "hardlink"
entry actually carries the data. It also provides correct behavior
for old cpio archives where hardlinked entries have their bodies
stored multiple times in the archive; the last body should always be
the one that ends up in the final file. The new pax format also
permits (but does not require) hardlinks to carry file data; again,
the last contents should always win.
Note that with any of these, a size of zero on a hardlink simply means
that the hardlink carries no data; it does not mean that the file has
zero size. A non-zero size on a hardlink does provide the file size.
Thanks to: John Baldwin, for reminding me about this long-standing bug
and sending me a simple example archive that prompted this test case
exercises and verifies the libarchive APIs:
* Improved error reporting; hexdumps are now provided for
many file/memory content differences.
* Overall status more clearly counts "tests" and "assertions"
* Reference files can now be stored on disk instead of having
to be compiled into the test program itself. A couple of
tests have been converted to this more natural structure.
* Several memory leaks corrected so that leaks within libarchive
itself can be more easily detected and diagnosed.
* New test: GNU tar compatibility
* New test: Zip compatibility
* New test: Zero-byte writes to a compressed archive entry
* New test: archive_entry_strmode() format verification
* New test: mtree reader
* New test: write/read of large (2G - 1TB) entries to tar archives

* New test: detailed format verification of cpio odc and newc writers
* Many minor additions/improvements to existing tests as well.

for directories. bsdtar used to add this, but that recently got
lost somehow. So now I'm adding it back in libarchive.
The only odd part of doing this in libarchive: Adding a directory to
a tar archive and then reading it back again can yield a different name.
Add a test case to exercise some boundary conditions with
tar filenames and ensure that trailing slashes are added to
dir names only as necessary.
Thanks to: Oliver Lehmann for bringing this regression to my attention.
These tests verify that archive_entry objects can store and return
ACL data and that pax format archives can read and write ACL
information. These do not (yet) test that ACL data is read or
written to disk correctly. (And hence would not have caught the
recent snafu about ACL read-from-disk being turned off.)
* libarchive_test program exercises many of the core features
* Refactored old "read_extract" into new "archive_write_disk", which
uses archive_write methods to put entries onto disk. In particular,
you can now use archive_write_disk to create objects on disk
without having an archive available.
* Pushed some security checks from bsdtar down into libarchive, where
they can be better optimized.
* Rearchitected the logic for creating objects on disk to reduce
the number of system calls. Several common cases now use a
minimum number of system calls.
* Virtualized some internal interfaces to provide a clearer separation
of read and write handling and make it simpler to override key
methods.
* New "empty" format reader.
* Corrected return types (this ABI breakage required the "2.0" version bump)
* Many bug fixes.
