|
|
extended attributes, etc so that bsdtar and bsdcpio don't require
|
|
such system-specific knowledge.
|
|
Jan 03, 2009: Read filter system extensively refactored. In particular,
|
|
read filter pipelines are now built out automatically and individual
|
|
filters should be much easier to implement. Documentation on the
|
|
Googlecode Wiki explains how to implement new filters.
|
|
Dec 28, 2008: Many Windows/Visual Studio fixes from Michihiro NAKAJIMA.
|
|
|
|
Dec 28, 2008: Main libarchive development moved from FreeBSD Perforce
|
|
server to Google Code. This should make it easier for more

Dec 28, 2008: libarchive 2.6.0 released
|
|
Dec 25, 2008: libarchive 2.5.905a released

Nov 08, 2008: libarchive 2.5.901a released
|
|
Nov 08, 2008: Start of pre-release testing for libarchive 2.6
|
|
|
|
Nov 07, 2008: Read filter refactor: The decompression routines just
|
|
consume and produce arbitrarily-sized blocks. The reblocking
|
|
from read_support_compression_none() has been pulled into the
|
|
read core. Also, the decompression bid now makes multiple
|
|
passes and stacks read filters.
|
|
Oct 21, 2008: bsdcpio: New command-line parser.
|
|
Oct 19, 2008: Internal read_ahead change: short reads are now an error

|
gives consistent option parsing on all platforms.

|
|
Sep 17, 2008: Pedro Giffuni: birthtime support
|
|
Sep 17, 2008: Miklos Vajna: lzma reader and test. Note: I still have
|
|
some concerns about the auto-detection (LZMA file format
|
|
doesn't support auto-detection well), so this is not yet
|
|
enabled under archive_read_support_compression_all(). For
|
|
now, you must call archive_read_support_compression_lzma() if
|
|
you want LZMA read support.
|
|
Sep 11, 2008: Ivailo Petrov: Many fixes to Windows build, new solution files
|
|
Jul 26, 2008: archive_entry now tracks which values have not been set.
|
|
This helps zip extraction (file size is often "unknown") and
|
|
time restores (tar usually doesn't know atime).
|
|
Jul 26, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: Performance improvements to shar writer
|
|
Jul 25, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: mtree write support
|

|
|
code contributions.
|
|
|
|
May 21, 2008: Fix a number of non-exploitable integer and buffer overflows,
|
|
thanks to David Remahl at Apple for pointing these out.
|
|
|
|
May 21, 2008: Colin Percival: SIGINFO or SIGUSR1 to bsdtar prints progress info
|
|
|
|
May 16, 2008: bsdtar's test harness no longer depends on file ordering.
|
|
This was causing spurious test failures on a lot of systems.
|
|
Thanks to Bernhard R. Link for the diagnosis.
|
|
|
|
May 14, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: -s substitution support for bsdtar
|
|
|
|
May 13, 2008: Joerg Sonnenberger: Many mtree improvements
|
|
|

|
|
hardlinks have different permissions from original file
|
|
|
|

|
|
* libarchive: Several fixes to link resolver to address bsdcpio crashes
|
|
* bsdcpio: -p hardlink handling fixes
|
|
* tar/pax: Ensure ustar dirnames end in '/'; be more careful about
|
|
measuring filenames when deciding what pathname fields to use
|
|
* libarchive: Mark which entry strings are set; be accurate about
|
|
distinguishing empty strings ("") from unset ones (NULL)
|
|
* tar: Don't crash reading entries with empty filenames
|
|
* libarchive_test, bsdtar_test, bsdcpio_test: Better detaults:
|
|
run all tests, delete temp dirs, summarize repeated failures
|
|
* -no-undefined to libtool for Cygwin
|
|
* libarchive_test: Skip large file tests on systems with 32-bit off_t
|
|
* iso9660: Don't bother trying to find the body of an empty file;
|
|
this works around strange behavior from some ISO9660 writers
|
|
* tar: allow -r -T to be used together
|
|
* tar: allow --format with -r or -u
|
|
* libarchive: Don't build archive.h
|
|
|
|
May 04, 2008: Simplified building: archive.h is no longer constructed
|
|
This may require additional #if conditionals on some platforms.
|
|
|
|
Mar 30, 2008: libarchive 2.5.1b released
|
|
|
|
Mar 15, 2008: libarchive 2.5.0b released
|
|
Mar 15, 2008: bsdcpio now seems to correctly write hardlinks into newc,
|
|
ustar, and old cpio archives. Just a little more testing before
|
|
bsdcpio 1.0 becomes a reality.
|
|
Mar 15, 2008: I think the new linkify() interface is finally handling
|
|
all known hardlink strategies.
|
|
Mar 15, 2008: Mtree read fixes from Joerg Sonnenberger.
|
|
Mar 15, 2008: Many new bsdtar and bsdcpio options from Joerg Sonnenberger.
|
|
Mar 15, 2008: test harnesses no longer require uudecode; they
|
|
now have built-in decoding logic that decodes the reference
|
|
files as they are needed.
|
|
|
|
Mar 14, 2008: libarchive 2.4.14 released; identical to 2.4.13 except for
|
|
a point fix for gname/uname mixup in pax format that was introduced
|
|
with the UTF-8 fixes.
|
|
|
|
Feb 26, 2008: libarchive 2.4.13 released
|
|
Feb 25, 2008: Handle path, linkname, gname, or uname that can't be converted
|
|
to/from UTF-8. Implement "hdrcharset" attribute from SUS-2008.
|
|
Feb 25, 2008: Fix name clash on NetBSD.
|
|
Feb 18, 2008: Fix writing empty 'ar' archives, per Kai Wang
|
|
Feb 18, 2008: [bsdtar] Permit appending on block devices.
|
|
Feb 09, 2008: New "linkify" resolver to help with newc hardlink writing;
|
|
bsdcpio still needs to be converted to use this.
|
|
Feb 02, 2008: Windows compatibility fixes from Ivailo Petrov, Kees Zeelenberg
|
|
Jan 30, 2008: Ignore hardlink size for non-POSIX tar archives.
|
|
|
|
Jan 22, 2008: libarchive 2.4.12 released
|
|
Jan 22, 2008: Fix bad padding when writing symlinks to newc cpio archives.
|
|
Jan 22, 2008: Verify bsdcpio_test by getting it to work against GNU cpio 2.9.
|
|
bsdcpio_test complains about missing options (-y and -z), format
|
|
of informational messages (--version, --help), and a minor formatting
|
|
issue in odc format output. After this update, bsdcpio_test uncovered
|
|
several more cosmetic issues in bsdcpio, all now fixed.
|
|
Jan 22, 2008: Experimental support for self-extracting Zip archives.
|
|
Jan 22, 2008: Extend hardlink restore strategy to work correctly with
|
|
hardlinks extracted from newc cpio files. (Which store the body
|
|
only with the last occurrence of a link.)
|
|
|
|
Dec 30, 2007: libarchive 2.4.11 released
|
|
Dec 30, 2007: Fixed a compile error in bsdcpio on some systems.
|
|
|

|
|
Dec 29, 2007: bsdcpio 0.9.0 is ready for wider use.
|
|
Dec 29, 2007: Completed initial test harness for bsdcpio.
|
|
|
|
Dec 22, 2007: libarchive 2.4.9 released
|
|
Dec 22, 2007: Implement the remaining options for bsdcpio: -a, -q, -L, -f,
|
|
pattern selection for -i and -it.
|
|
|
|
Dec 13, 2007: libarchive 2.4.8 released
|
|
Dec 13, 2007: gzip and bzip2 compression now handle zero-byte writes correctly,
|
|
Thanks to Damien Golding for bringing this to my attention.
|
|
|
|
Dec 12, 2007: libarchive 2.4.7 released
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Dec 03, 2007: libarchive 2.4.4 released
|
|
Dec 03, 2007: New configure options --disable-xattr and --disable-acl,
|
|
thanks to Samuli Suominen.
|
|
|
|
Dec 03, 2007: libarchive 2.4.3 released
|
|
Dec 03, 2007: Thanks to Lapo Luchini for sending me a ZIP file that
|
|
libarchive couldn't handle. Fixed a bug in handling of
|
|
"length at end" flags in ZIP files.
|
|
Dec 03, 2007: Fixed bsdcpio -help, bsdtar -help tests.
|
|
Dec 02, 2007: First cut at real bsdtar test harness.
|
|
|
|
Dec 02, 2007: libarchive 2.4.2 released
|
|
|
|
Dec 02, 2007: libarchive 2.4.1 released
|
|
Dec 02, 2007: Minor fixes, rough cut of mdoc-to-man conversion for
|
|
man pages.
|
|
|
|
Oct 30, 2007: libarchive 2.4.0 released
|
|
Oct 30, 2007: Minor compile fix thanks to Joerg Schilling.
|
|
Oct 30, 2007: Only run the format auction once at the beginning of the
|
|
archive. This is simpler and supports better error recovery.
|
|
Oct 29, 2007: Test support for very large entries in tar archives:
|
|
libarchive_test now exercises entries from 2GB up to 1TB.
|
|
|
|
Oct 27, 2007: libarchive 2.3.5 released
|
|
Oct 27, 2007: Correct some unnecessary internal data copying in the
|
|
"compression none" reader and writer; this reduces user time
|
|
by up to 2/3 in some tests. (Thanks to Jan Psota for
|
|
publishing his performance test results to GNU tar's bug-tar
|
|
mailing list; those results pointed me towards this problem.)
|
|
Oct 27, 2007: Fix for skipping archive entries that are exactly
|
|
a multiple of 4G on 32-bit platforms.
|
|
Oct 25, 2007: Fix for reading very large (>8G) tar archives; this was
|
|
broken when I put in support for new GNU tar sparse formats.
|
|
Oct 20, 2007: Initial work on new pattern-matching code for cpio; I
|
|
hope this eventually replaces the code currently in bsdtar.
|
|
|
|
Oct 08, 2007: libarchive 2.3.4 released
|
|
Oct 05, 2007: Continuing work on bsdcpio test suite.
|
|
Oct 05, 2007: New cpio.5 manpage, updates to "History" of bsdcpio.1 and
|
|
bsdtar.1 manpages.
|
|
Oct 05, 2007: Fix zip reader to immediately return EOF if you try
|
|
to read body of non-regular file. In particular, this fixes
|
|
bsdtar extraction of zip archives.
|
|
|
|
Sep 30, 2007: libarchive 2.3.3 released
|
|
Sep 26, 2007: Rework Makefile.am so that the enable/disable options
|
|
actually do the right things.
|
|
Sep 26, 2007: cpio-odc and cpio-newc archives no longer write bodies
|
|
for non-regular files.
|
|
Sep 26, 2007: Test harness for bsdcpio is in place, needs more tests written.
|
|
This is much nicer than the ragtag collection of test scripts
|
|
that bsdtar has.
|
|
|
|
Sep 20, 2007: libarchive 2.3.2 released
|
|
Sep 20, 2007: libarchive 2.3.1 broke bsdtar because the archive_write_data()
|
|
fix was implemented incorrectly.
|
|
|
|
Sep 16, 2007: libarchive 2.3.1 released
|
|
Sep 16, 2007: Many fixes to bsdcpio 0.3: handle hardlinks with -p, recognize
|
|
block size on writing, fix a couple of segfaults.
|
|
Sep 16, 2007: Fixed return value from archive_write_data() when used
|
|
with archive_write_disk() to match the documentation and other
|
|
instances of this same function.
|
|
Sep 15, 2007: Add archive_entry_link_resolver, archive_entry_strmode
|
|
|
|
Sep 11, 2007: libarchive 2.2.8 released
|
|
Sep 09, 2007: bsdcpio 0.2 supports most (not yet all) of the old POSIX spec.
|
|
|
|
Sep 01, 2007: libarchive 2.2.7 released
|
|
Aug 31, 2007: Support for reading mtree files, including an mtree.5 manpage
|
|
(A little experimental still.)
|
|
Aug 18, 2007: Read gtar 1.17 --posix --sparse entries.
|
|
Aug 13, 2007: Refined suid/sgid restore handling; it is no longer
|
|
an error if suid/sgid bits are dropped when you request
|
|
perm restore but don't request owner restore.
|
|
Aug 06, 2007: Use --enable-bsdcpio if you want to try bsdcpio
|
|
|
|
Aug 05, 2007: libarchive 2.2.6 released
|
|
Aug 05, 2007: New configure option --disable-bsdtar, thanks to Joerg
|
|
Sonnenberger.
|
|
Aug 05, 2007: Several bug fixes from FreeBSD CVS repo.
|
|
|
|
Jul 13, 2007: libarchive 2.2.5 released
|
|
|
|
Jul 12, 2007: libarchive 2.2.4 released
|
|
Jul 12, 2007: Thanks to Colin Percival's help in diagnosing and
|
|
fixing several critical security bugs. Details available at
|
|
http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-07:05.libarchive.asc
|
|
|
|
May 26, 2007: libarchive 2.2.3 released
|
|
May 26, 2007: Fix memory leaks in ZIP reader and shar writer, add some
|
|
missing system headers to archive_entry.h, dead code cleanup
|
|
from Colin Percival, more tests for gzip/bzip2, fix an
|
|
EOF anomaly in bzip2 decompression.
|
|
|
|
May 12, 2007: libarchive 2.2.2 released
|
|
May 12, 2007: Fix archive_write_disk permission restore by cloning
|
|
entry passed into write_header so that permission info is
|
|
still available at finish_entry time. (archive_read_extract()
|
|
worked okay because it held onto the passed-in entry, but
|
|
direct consumers of archive_write_disk would break). This
|
|
required fixing archive_entry_clone(), which now works and has
|
|
a reasonably complete test case.
|
|
May 10, 2007: Skeletal cpio implementation.
|
|
|
|
May 06, 2007: libarchive 2.2.1 released
|
|
May 06, 2007: Flesh out a lot more of test_entry.c so as to catch
|
|
problems such as the device node breakage before releasing <sigh>.

|
May 05, 2007: Fix a bad bug introduced in 2.1.9 that broke device
|
|
node entries in tar archives.
|
|
May 03, 2007: Move 'struct stat' out of archive_entry core as well.
|
|
This removes some portability headaches and fixes a bunch
|
|
of corner cases that arise when manipulating archives on
|
|
dissimilar systems.
|
|
|
|
Apr 30, 2007: libarchive 2.1.10 released
|
|
Apr 31, 2007: Minor code cleanup.
|
|
|
|
Apr 24, 2007: libarchive 2.1.9 released
|
|
Apr 24, 2007: Fix some recently-introduced problems with libraries
|
|
(Just let automake handle it and it all works much better.)
|
|
Finish isolating major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry.c.
|
|
|
|
Apr 23, 2007: libarchive 2.1.8 released
|
|
Apr 23, 2007: Minor fixes found from building on MacOS X
|
|
|
|
Apr 22, 2007: libarchive 2.1.7 released
|
|
Apr 22, 2007: Eliminated all uses of 'struct stat' from the
|
|
format readers/writers. This should improve portability;
|
|
'struct stat' is now only used in archive_entry and in
|
|
code that actually touches the disk.
|
|
|
|
Apr 17, 2007: libarchive 2.1.6 released
|
|
Libarchive now compiles and passes all tests on Interix.
|
|
|
|
Apr 16, 2007: libarchive 2.1.5 released
|
|
|
|
Apr 15, 2007: libarchive 2.1b2 released
|
|
Apr 15, 2007: New libarchive_internals.3 documentation of internal APIs.
|
|
Not complete, but should prove helpful.
|
|
Apr 15, 2007: Experimental "read_compress_program" and "write_compress_program"
|
|
for using libarchive with external compression. Not yet
|
|
well tested, and likely has portability issues. Feedback
|
|
appreciated.
|
|
|
|
Apr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.31 released
|
|
Apr 14, 2007: More fixes for Interix, more 'ar' work
|
|
|
|
Apr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.30 released
|
|
Apr 13, 2007: libarchive now enforces trailing '/' on dirs
|
|
written to tar archives
|
|
|
|
Apr 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.29 released
|
|
Apr 11, 2007: Make it easier to statically configure for different platforms.
|
|
Apr 11, 2007: Updated config.guess, config.sub, libtool
|
|
|
|
Apr 06, 2007: libarchive 2.0.28 released
|
|
Apr 06, 2007: 'ar' format read/write support thanks to Kai Wang.
|
|
|
|
Apr 01, 2007: libarchive 2.0.27 released
|
|
Mar 31, 2007: Several minor fixes from Colin Percival and Joerg Sonnenberger.
|
|
|
|
Mar 12, 2007: libarchive 2.0.25 released
|
|
Mar 12, 2007: Fix broken --unlink flag.
|
|
|
|
Mar 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.24 released
|
|
Mar 10, 2007: Correct an ACL blunder that causes any ACL with an entry
|
|
that refers to a non-existent user or group to not be restored correctly.
|
|
The fix both makes the parser more tolerant (so that archives created
|
|
with the buggy ACLs can be read now) and corrects the ACL formatter.
|
|
Mar 10, 2007: More work on test portability to Linux.
|
|
|
|
Mar 10, 2007: libarchive 2.0.22 released
|
|
Mar 10, 2007: Header cleanups; added linux/fs.h, removed
|
|
some unnecessary headers, added #include guards in bsdtar.
|
|
If you see any obvious compile failures from this, let me know.
|
|
Mar 10, 2007: Work on bsdtar test scripts: not yet robust enough
|
|
to enable as part of "make check", but getting better.
|
|
Mar 10, 2007: libarchive now returns ARCHIVE_FAILED when
|
|
a header write fails in a way that only affects this item.
|
|
Less bad than ARCHIVE_FATAL, but worse than ARCHIVE_WARN.
|
|
|
|
Mar 07, 2007: libarchive 2.0.21 released
|
|
Mar 07, 2007: Add some ACL tests (only for the system-independent
|
|
portion of the ACL support for now).
|
|
Mar 07, 2007: tar's ability to read ACLs off disk got
|
|
turned off for FreeBSD; re-enable it. (ACL restores and
|
|
libarchive support for storing/reading ACLs from pax
|
|
archives was unaffected.)
|
|
|
|
Mar 02, 2007: libarchive 2.0.20 released
|
|
Mar 2, 2007: It's not perfect, but it's pretty good.
|
|
Libarchive 2.0 is officially out of beta.
|
|
|
|
Feb 28, 2007: libarchive 2.0b17 released
|
|
Feb 27, 2007: Make the GID restore checks more robust by checking
|
|
whether the current user has too few or too many privileges.
|
|
|
|
Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b15 released
|
|
Feb 26, 2007: Don't lose symlinks when extracting from ISOs.
|
|
Thanks to Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò for telling me about the
|
|
broken testcase on Gentoo that (finally!) led me to the cause
|
|
of this long-standing bug.
|
|
|
|
Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b14 released
|
|
Feb 26, 2007: Fix a broken test on platforms that lack lchmod().
|
|
|
|
Feb 25, 2007: libarchive 2.0b13 released
|
|
Feb 25, 2007: Empty archives were being written as empty files,
|
|
without a proper end-of-archive marker. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
Feb 23, 2007: libarchive 2.0b12 released
|
|
Feb 22, 2007: Basic security checks added: _EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT
|
|
and _EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINK. These checks used to be in bsdtar,
|
|
but they belong down in libarchive where they can be used by
|
|
other tools and where they can be better optimized.
|
|
|
|
Feb 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0b11 released
|
|
Feb 10, 2007: Fixed a bunch of errors in libarchive's handling
|
|
of EXTRACT_PERM and EXTRACT_OWNER, especially relating
|
|
to SUID and SGID bits.
|
|
|
|
Jan 31, 2007: libarchive 2.0b9 released
|
|
Jan 31, 2007: Added read support for "empty" archives as a
|
|
distinct archive format. Bsdtar uses this to handle, e.g.,
|
|
"touch foo.tar; tar -rf foo.tar"
|
|
|
|
Jan 22, 2007: libarchive 2.0b6 released
|
|
Jan 22, 2007: archive_write_disk API is now in place. It provides
|
|
a finer-grained interface than archive_read_extract. In particular,
|
|
you can use it to create objects on disk without having an archive
|
|
around (just feed it archive_entry objects describing what you
|
|
want to create), you can override the uname/gname-to-uid/gid lookups
|
|
(minitar uses this to avoid getpwXXX() and getgrXXX() bloat).
|
|
|
|
Jan 09, 2007: libarchive 2.0a3 released
|
|
Jan 9, 2007: archive_extract is now much better; it handles the
|
|
most common cases with a minimal number of system calls.
|
|
Some features still need a lot of testing, especially corner
|
|
cases involving objects that already exist on disk. I expect
|
|
the next round of API overhaul will simplify building test cases.
|
|
Jan 9, 2007: a number of fixes thanks to Colin Percival, especially
|
|
corrections to the skip() framework and handling of large files.
|
|
Jan 9, 2007: Fixes for large ISOs. The code should correctly handle
|
|
very large ISOs with entries up to 4G. Thanks to Robert Sciuk
|
|
for pointing out these issues.
|
|
|
|
Sep 05, 2006: libarchive 1.3.1 released
|
|
Sep 5, 2006: Bump version to 1.3 for new I/O wrappers.
|
|
Sep 4, 2006: New memory and FILE read/write wrappers.
|
|
Sep 4, 2006: libarchive test harness is now minimally functional;
|
|
it's located a few minor bugs in error-handling logic
|
|
|
|
Aug 17, 2006: libarchive 1.2.54 released
|
|
Aug 17, 2006: Outline ABI changes for libarchive 2.0; these
|
|
are protected behind #ifdef's until I think I've found everything
|
|
that needs to change.
|
|
Aug 17, 2006: Fix error-handling in archive_read/write_close()
|
|
They weren't returning any errors before.
|
|
Aug 17, 2006: Fix recursive-add logic to not trigger if it's not set
|
|
Fixes a bug adding files when writing archive to pipe or when
|
|
using archive_write_open() directly.
|
|
Jul 2006: New "skip" handling improves performance extracting
|
|
single files from large uncompressed archives.
|
|
|
|
Mar 21, 2006: 1.2.52 released
|
|
Mar 21, 2006: Fix -p on platforms that don't have platform-specific
|
|
extended attribute code.
|
|
Mar 20, 2006: Add NEWS file; fill in some older history from other
|
|
files. I'll try to keep this file up-to-date from now on.
|
|
|
|
OLDER NEWS SUMMARIES
|
|

|
Mar 18, 2006: Many fixes to extended attribute support, including a redesign
|
|
of the storage format to simplify debugging.
|
|
Mar 12, 2006: Remove 'tp' support; it was a fun idea, but not worth
|
|
spending much time on.
|
|
Mar 11, 2006: Incorporated Jaakko Heinonen's still-experimental support
|
|
for extended attributes (Currently Linux-only.).
|

Feb 13, 2006: Minor bug fixes: correctly read cpio device entries, write
|
|
Pax attribute entry names.
|
|
Nov 7, 2005: Experimental 'tp' format support in libarchive. Feedback
|
|
appreciated; this is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all()
|
|
yet as I'm not quite content with the format detection heuristics.
|
|
Nov 7, 2005: Some more portability improvements thanks to Darin Broady,

|
|
http://xsnil.antbear.org/2005/02/05/archive-mit-libarchive-verarbeiten/
|
|
including examples of using it from Objective-C. His MoinX
