(XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to $HOME/.config). -(Suggested by Adam Tuja). +The detection of bzip2 files with no compressed blocks has been fixed. +(Error introduced in version 1.9). -In zcat, zcmp, zdiff, and zgrep, the option '-O, --force-format' now can -force also "uncompressed" format. +When zcat, zcmp, zdiff, or zgrep need to try compressed file names, gzip +(.gz) is now tried before bzip2 (.bz2). -zcmp now accepts the option '-H, --hexadecimal' to print byte values in -hexadecimal instead of octal. +When only one compressed file is passed to zcmp or zdiff, they now try to +compare it with a compressed file of any of the remaining formats if the +corresponding uncompressed file does not exist. -In zcmp: - The long name of option '-s' has been changed to '--script' following a - similar change made to GNU ed. +zcmp now reports EOF on empty file like GNU cmp: +"zcmp: EOF on FILE which is empty". - The short name '-q' has been assigned to options '--quiet' and '--silent'. +File diagnostics in zupdate have been reformatted as 'PROGRAM: FILE: MESSAGE'. - Option '-q' now only suppresses diagnostic messages written to stderr. - - Option '-s' now only suppresses messages about file differences written to - stdout or stderr. - - Option '-l, --list' is now different from option '-v, --verbose', which - now undoes the effect of '--quiet'. - -zcmp now prints byte and line in EOF message like GNU cmp: -"zcmp: EOF on FILE after byte B, in line L". - -zgrep now also accepts the following options: '-G, --basic-regexp', -'--label=<label>', '--line-buffered', '-P, --perl-regexp', '--silent', -'-T, --initial-tab', '-U, --binary', and '-Z, --null'. -(Reported by Chris Jamboretz and Leah Neukirchen). - -ztest now exits with status 2 if an uncompressed file has a compressed file -name extension, or if a compressed file has a wrong compressed extension. - -zupdate now accepts option '-d, --destdir' to write recompressed files to -another directory. This allows, for example, recompressing files from a -read-only file system to another place without needing to copy or link them -to the destination directory first. - -zupdate now accepts option '-e, --expand-extensions', which makes it expand -combined file name extensions; tgz --> tar.lz. - -zupdate now also accepts option '-i, --ignore-errors', which makes it ignore -non-fatal errors. (Suggested by Antoni Sawicki). - -All utilities now support compress'd (.Z) files through gzip. For this to -work, the gzip program used (for example GNU gzip) must be able to -decompress .Z files. - -At verbosity level 1 (2 for zdiff and zgrep) or higher, '-V, --version' now -prints the versions of the compressors used (limited by option '-M, --format'). -(The compressors used must support option '-V' for this to work). - -Diagnostics caused by invalid arguments to command line options now show the -argument and the name of the option. - -It has been documented in the manual that the data format is detected by its -magic bytes, not by the file name extension. - -The testsuite now tests tarlz (if available) as compressor for zupdate. +The variable MAKEINFO has been added to configure and Makefile.in. |
