Zip 3.0g
|
|
|
|
We have posted Zip Beta 3.0g, January 30th 2008. This is a beta
|
|
release, but is more or less complete and is considered a release
|
|
candidate. See the file WhatsNew for a list of major features
|
|
implemented and what's left.
|
|
|
|
The archive reading and writing code in Zip 3.0 has been redone to
|
|
support split archives. We've extensively tested the code over the
|
|
last year, but you should thoroughly test it yourself before relying
|
|
on it. Also note that Unicode support has been added and should comply
|
|
with the latest AppNote, but is still new and so may need refining.
|
|
|
|
Please test this beta and let us know if we're ready to officially
|
|
release Zip 3.0.
|
|
|
|
New things in Zip 3.0g
|
|
- Add split support to VB project for Zip64.
|
|
|
|
- Disable reading of Unix FIFOs unless new -FI option used to avoid an
|
|
archiving operation stopping when it hits an active unfed FIFO.
|
|
|
|
- The [list] wildcard expression (regular expression matching of any
|
|
character or range of characters in list) is now disabled on DOS and
|
|
Windows as it has caused confusion when filenames have [ and ] in
|
|
them. The new -RE option reenables it.
|
|
|
|
- Add negation to many display options such as -dc and -db.
|
|
|
|
- Allow -FF to read and fix archives having local entries that appear
|
|
after central directory entries.
|
|
|
|
- Many small bug fixes.
