the following:
* License updates.
* Fixes for FreeBSD/arm
* New read_open_filename, read_open_memory
* New write_open_filename, write_open_memory
* Write-blocking cleanup (cperciva@)
* Adjust API so read_open/write_open funcs only need public API
* Portability improvements (casts, include guards, etc.)
* Properly pad sparse archive entries with blocks of zero bytes (cperciva@)
* Correct copy of data to file when very large reads are possible
* Be more flexible about dir permissions to avoid some fixups
* Correct skip handling for entries over 2G (cperciva@)
* ISO9660: skip entries faster, support entries over 2G
* Tar: correct position accounting when skipping large entries (cperciva@)
* Support unbuffered write as a special case (blocksize=0) (cperciva@)
* Documentation corrections, improvements
* Spelling corrections (cperciva@)
* Improve some internal error returns
A few of these changes break the API/ABI and are therefore conditional
on the version number. FreeBSD 6 will continue to use libarchive 1.x,
which will continue to use the old API/ABI. When all of these changes
are ready, the libarchive version number will be changed in -CURRENT
to enable the new API. Hopefully, this will allow the actual source
to remain identical between FreeBSD 6 and 7; only the version
parameters in the Makefile will be different.
is present for FreeBSD. If you "make distfile" on FreeBSD, you will
soon have a tar.gz file suitable for deploying to other systems
(complete with the expected "configure" script, etc). This latter
relies (at least for now) on the GNU auto??? tools. (I like autoconf
okay, but someday I hope to write a custom Makefile.in and dispense
with automake, which is somewhat odious.)
As part of this, I've cleaned up some of the conditional
compilation options, added make-foo to construct archive.h dynamically
(it now contains some version constants), and added some useful
informational files.
