Until version 1.12 it was included in the lzip package. Previous entries in this file are taken from there. * lziprecover.cc: Renamed to main.cc. * New files merge.cc, repair.cc, split.cc, and range_dec.cc. * main.cc: Added decompressor options (-c, -d, -k, -t) so that a external decompressor is not needed for recovery nor for "make check". * Added new option '-D, --range-decompress' which extracts a range of bytes decompressing only the members containing the desired data. * Added new option '-l, --list' which prints correct total file sizes even for multimember files. * merge.cc repair.cc: Remove output file if recovery fails. * Changed quote characters in messages as advised by GNU Standards. * split.cc: Use Boyer-Moore algorithm to search for headers. * configure: 'datadir' renamed to 'datarootdir'. 2011-04-30 Antonio Diaz Diaz * Version 1.12 released. * lziprecover.cc: If '-v' is not specified show errors only. * testsuite/unzcrash.cc: Use Arg_parser. * testsuite/unzcrash.cc: Added new option '-b, --bits'. * testsuite/unzcrash.cc: Added new option '-p, --position'. * testsuite/unzcrash.cc: Added new option '-s, --size'. 2010-09-16 Antonio Diaz Diaz * Version 1.11 released. * lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-m, --merge' which tries to produce a correct file merging the good parts of two or more damaged copies. * lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-R, --repair' for repairing a 1-byte error in single-member files. * decoder.cc (decode_member): Detect file errors earlier to improve efficiency of lziprecover's new repair capability. This change also prevents (harmless) access to uninitialized memory when decompressing a corrupt file. * lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-f, --force'. * lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-o, --output'. * lziprecover.cc: Added new option '-s, --split' to select the until now only operation of splitting multimember files. * lziprecover.cc: If no operation is specified, warn the user and do nothing. 2009-06-22 Antonio Diaz Diaz * Version 1.6 released. * Added man page for lziprecover. * testsuite/check.sh: Test lziprecover. 2009-01-24 Antonio Diaz Diaz * Version 1.4 released. * Added 'lziprecover', a member recoverer program. * testsuite/unzcrash.cc: Test all 1-byte errors.
