-Apr 01, 2009: libarchive 2.6.990a released
-Apr 01, 2009: Use command-line gunzip, bunzip2, unxz, unlzma for
- decompression if the library is built without suitable
- libraries. The setup functions return ARCHIVE_WARN
- in this case so clients can adapt if necessary.
-Apr 01, 2009: Use getpw*_r and getgr*_r functions for thread-safety.
-Mar 24, 2009: Add archive_read_next_header2(), which is up to 25%
- more efficient for some clients; from Brian Harring.
-Mar 22, 2009: PDF versions of manpages are now included in the distribution.
-Mar, 2009: Major work to improve Cygwin build by Charles Wilson.
-Feb/Mar, 2009: Major work on cmake build support, mostly by Michihiro NAKAJIMA.
-Feb/Mar, 2009: Major work on Visual Studio support by Michihiro NAKAJIMA.
- All tests now pass.
-Feb 25, 2009: Fix Debian Bug #516577
-Feb 21, 2009: Yacc is no longer needed to build; date parser rewritten in C.
-Jan/Feb, 2009: Mtree work by Michihiro.
-Feb, 2009: Joliet support by Andreas Henriksson.
-Jan/Feb, 2009: New options framework by Michihiro.
-Feb, 2009: High-res timestamps on Tru64, AIX, and GNU Hurd, by Björn Jacke.
-Jan 18, 2009: Extended attributes work on FreeBSD and Linux now with pax format.
-Jan 07, 2009: New archive_read_disk_entry_from_file() knows about ACLs,
- 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
- people to participate in libarchive development.
-
-Dec 28, 2008: libarchive 2.6.0 released
-Dec 25, 2008: libarchive 2.5.905a released
-Dec 10, 2008: libarchive 2.5.904a released
-Dec 04, 2008: libarchive 2.5.903a released
-Nov 09, 2008: libarchive 2.5.902a 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
-Oct 06, 2008: bsdtar: option parser no longer uses getopt_long(),
- gives consistent option parsing on all platforms.
-Sep 19, 2008: Jaakko Heinonen: shar utility built on libarchive
-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
-
-Jul 02, 2008: libarchive 2.5.5 released

-Jun 19, 2008: bsdcpio: additional long options for better GNU cpio compat
-Jun 15, 2008: Many small portability and bugfixes since 2.5.4b.
-

-
-May 21, 2008: Colin Percival: SIGINFO or SIGUSR1 to bsdtar prints progress info
-

-May 04, 2008: libarchive 2.5.3b released
- * 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.

- 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 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: 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 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,

- "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.

-
-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
-

-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.

- 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 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.
