fixes to read_support_compression_program. In particular, failure of
the external program is detected a lot earlier, which gives much more
reasonable error handling.
corrections to the Windows support to reconcile differences
between Visual Studio and Cygwin. Includes parts of
revisions 757, 774, 787, 815, 817, 819, 820, 844, and 886.
Of particular note, r886 overhauled the UTF-8/Unicode conversions to
work correctly regardless of whether the local system uses 16-bit
or 32-bit wchar_t. (I assume that systems with 16-bit wchar_t
use UTF-16 and those with 32-bit wchar_t use UCS-4.) This revision
also added a preference for wcrtomb() (which is thread-safe) on
platforms that support it.
r751: Change __archive_strncat() to use a void * source, which reduces
the amount of casting needed to use this with "char", "signed char"
and "unsigned char".
r752: Use additions instead of multiplications when growing buffer;
faster and less chance of overflow.
conditioning tests on HAVE_ZLIB, etc, just ask libarchive for the
service and handle the failure coming back from libarchive. This
gives us better test coverage of common client usage where clients
simply try to use libarchive services and handle the errors coming
back instead of trying to second-guess which libarchive services are
compiled in.
Refactor the read_compression_program to add two new abilities:
* Public API: You can now include a signature string when you
register a program; the program will run only on input that
matches the signature string.
* Internal API: You can use the init() function to instantiate
an external program as part of a filter pipeline. This
can be used for graceful fallback (if zlib is unavailable, use
external gzip instead) and to use external programs with
bidders that are more sophisticated than a static signature check.
Support Joliet extensions. This currently ignores Rockridge extensions
if both exist on the same disk unless the '!joliet' option is provided.
e.g.: tar -xvf example.iso --options '!joliet'

as the compression name when no other read filter bid. Add some
assertions to various tests to verify that read filters are properly
setting the textual name as well as the compression code.
information to error strings. This caused a lot of unnecessary
duplication in error messages; in particular, there are a few cases
where error messages get copied from one archive object to another
and this would cause the strerror() info to get appended each time.
Restoring POSIX.1e Extended Attributes on FreeBSD, part 1
This implements the basic ability to restore extended attributes
on FreeBSD, including a test suite.
Zip entries that are zero length but stored with deflate. This
is arguably a silly thing to do (deflating a zero-length file actually
makes it bigger) but apparently quite a few Zip writers do this.
This was broken in two places: archive_write_disk disliked being asked
to write data to zero-length files (even if the write was zero-length)
and zip_read_file_header tripped over itself when non-regular files
had compressed bodies.
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...
