owner restore is not requested. If you ask
for permissions to be restored but not owner,
you will now get no error if suid/sgid bits
cannot be set. (It's a security hole to restore
suid/sgid bits if the owner/group aren't restored.)
This fixes an obscure problem where a simple
"tar -xf" with no other options will sometimes
fail gratuitously because of suid/sgid bits.
This is causing occasional problems for people
using bsdtar as a drop-in replacement for
"that other tar program." ;-)
Note: If you do ask for owner restore, then suid/sgid
restore failures still issue an error. This
only suppresses the error in the case where an
suid/sgid bit restore fails because of an owner
mismatch and owner restore was not requested.

MFC after: 7 days
ARCHIVE_VERSION_STAMP to selectively disable tests that don't
apply to that version; new "skipping()" function reports skipped
tests; modify final summary to report component test failures and
skips.
Note: I don't currently intend to MFC the test suite itself;
anyone interested should just checkout and use this version
of the test suite, which should work for any library version.

* "compression_program" support uses an external program
* Portability: no longer uses "struct stat" as a primary
data interchange structure internally
* Part of the above: refactor archive_entry to separate
out copy_stat() and stat() functions
* More complete tests for archive_entry
* Finish archive_entry_clone()
* Isolate major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry; remove
these from everywhere else.
* Bug fix: properly handle decompression look-ahead at end-of-data
* Bug fixes to 'ar' support
* Fix memory leak in ZIP reader
* Portability: better timegm() emulation in iso9660 reader
* New write_disk flags to suppress auto dir creation and not
overwrite newer files (for future cpio front-end)
* Simplify trailing-'/' fixup when writing tar and pax
* Test enhancements: fix various compiler warnings, improve
portability, add lots of new tests.
* Documentation: document new functions, first draft of
libarchive_internals.3

Thanks to: Kai Wang (ar)
Thanks to: Colin Percival (many small fixes)
Thanks to: Many others who sent me various patches and problem reports.
Don't change permissions on an existing dir unless _EXTRACT_PERM
is requested.
In particular, bsdtar -x should not edit mode of existing dirs
now; bsdtar -xp will.
* 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.
