(But it only works if -the diff program used supports them). +It has been documented in the manual that 'zgrep -L' fails with GNU grep +versions 3.2 to 3.4 inclusive because of a wrong change reverted in GNU grep +3.5. -Bzip2 and lzip files are now detected better. -('echo LZIP | zcat' and 'echo BZh5 | zcat' no longer return an error). - -ztest now continues checking the rest of the files if any input file is a -terminal. - -'ztest -v' now prints the number of files that failed the test (like lzip). - -zcat, zgrep, and ztest now check for errors when closing the input file in -addition to checking when closing the input from the decompressor. - -Trailing data remaining in the data feeder to the decompressor are now -correctly ignored. - -zupdate has been modified to support the new behavior of lzip 1.22's option -'-o' while retaining: -perfect backwards compatibility with older versions of lzip down to 1.20, -good backwards compatibility with older versions of lzip down to 1.11, -acceptable backwards compatibility with older versions of lzip down to 1.4. - -zupdate now keeps combined extensions: tgz, tbz, tbz2, txz --> tlz. -This is useful when recompressing Slackware packages, for example. - -zupdate now puts single quotes around file names when calling zcmp to allow -file names with spaces. (But putting spaces in file names is a bad idea). - -The descriptions of zcat, zcmp, and zdiff have been improved. +'make check' now tests empty input files with all tools except zupdate. |
