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
(thanks to recent performance work, this test only requires a few seconds)
* 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.
