This makes '-U, --unzcrash' about two times faster -on my machine on files with an uncompressed size larger than about 30 MB. +The option '--repair' has been renamed to '--byte-repair'. -'-W, --debug-decompress' now continues decompressing the members following -the damaged member if it has been fully decompressed (just failed with a CRC -mismatch). +The option '--debug-repair' has been renamed to '--debug-byte-repair'. -The tool unzcrash now uses execvp instead of popen to avoid invoking /bin/sh -and run faster. It also prints byte or block position in messages. +Diagnostics caused by invalid arguments to command line options now show the +argument and the name of the option. -Several descriptions have been improved in manual, '--help', and man page. - -The texinfo category of the manual has been changed from 'Data Compression' -to 'Compression' to match that of gzip. (Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt). +The option '--no-verify' of unzcrash has been renamed to '--no-check'. -- cgit v1.2.3
