Changes in version 1.9:
|
|
|
|
Plzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (plzip -t "").
|
|
|
|
Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but sending the
|
|
output unconditionally to a file instead of to standard output. See the new
|
|
description of '-o' in the manual. This change is backwards compatible only
|
|
when (de)compressing from standard input alone. Therefore commands like:
|
|
plzip -o foo.lz - bar < foo
|
|
must now be split into:
|
|
plzip -o foo.lz - < foo
|
|
plzip bar
|
|
or rewritten as:
|
|
plzip - bar < foo > foo.lz
|
|
|
|
When using '-c' or '-o', plzip now checks whether the output is a terminal
|
|
only once.
|
|
|
|
Plzip now does not even open the output file if the input file is a terminal.
|
|
|
|
The new option '--check-lib', which compares the version of lzlib used to
|
|
compile plzip with the version actually being used at run time, has been added.
|
|
|
|
The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced with the
|
|
shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when decompressing or testing.
|
|
|
|
When checking the integrity of multiple files, plzip is now able to continue
|
|
checking the rest of the files (instead of exiting) if some of them fail the
|
|
test, allowing 'plzip --test' to show a final diagnostic with the number of
|
|
files that failed (just as 'lzip --test').
|
|
|
|
Testing is now slightly (1.6%) faster when using lzlib 1.12.
|
|
|
|
When compressing, or when decompressing or testing from a non-seekable file
|
|
or from standard input, plzip now starts only the number of worker threads
|
|
required.
|
|
|
|
When decompressing or testing from a non-seekable file or from standard
|
|
input, trailing data are now not counted in the compressed size shown.
|
|
|
|
When decompressing or testing a multimember file, plzip now shows the
|
|
largest dictionary size of all members in the file instead of showing the
|
|
dictionary size of the first member.
|
|
|
|
Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the last header in a
|
|
multimenber file specifically instead of showing the generic message "Last
|
|
member in input file is truncated or corrupt."
|
|
|
|
The error messages for 'Data error' and 'Unexpected EOF' have been shortened.
|
|
|
|
The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive have been
|
|
documented in the manual, in the output of '--help', and in the man page.
|
|
|
|
Tarlz is mentioned in the manual as an alternative to tar + plzip.
|
|
|
|
Several fixes and improvements have been made to the manual.
|
|
|
|
8 new test files have been added to the testsuite.
