@@ -1,7 +1,22 @@ -Changes in version 0.19: +Changes in version 0.21: -At verbosity level 1 or higher tarlz now prints a diagnostic for each -unknown extended header keyword found in an archive, once per keyword. +Lzlib 1.12 or newer is now required to compile and run tarlz. -A missing '#include <sys/types.h>', which made compilation fail on some -systems, has been added. +Members without name are now skipped when decoding except when listing. This +allows the reliable detection of certain format violations during parallel +extraction with more than two threads. (Thanks to Florian Schmaus for +reporting the problem). + +The new option '-z, --compress', which compresses existing POSIX tar +archives aligning the lzip members to the tar members with choice of +granularity, has been added. Existing compressed archives are not +overwritten. + +The new option '-o, --output', which writes the compressed output to a file, +has been added. Currently '--output' only works with '--compress'. + +The new option '--warn-newer', which warns during archive creation if any +file being archived has a modification time newer than the archive creation +time, has been added. + +A failure in the '--diff' test of the testsuite on OS/2 has been fixed. |
