Tarlz now can create and decode the extended records 'atime' and 'mtime',
|
|
|
|
|
allowing times beyond the ustar range (before 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC or
|
|
|
|
|
after 2242-03-16 12:56:31 UTC).

|
|
Tarlz now can create and decode the extended records 'uid' and 'gid',
|
|
|
|
|
allowing user and group IDs beyond the ustar limit of 2_097_151.

|
|
|
|
|
differences in mtime caused by overflow on 32-bit systems, has been added.

Tarlz now refuses to read archive data from a terminal or write archive data
|
|
|
|
|
to a terminal. (Reported by DustDFG).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the date format of option '--mtime' the time of day 'HH:MM:SS' is now
|
|
|
|
|
optional and defaults to '00:00:00'. Both space and 'T' are now accepted as
|
|
|
|
|
separator between date and time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Diagnostics caused by invalid arguments to command line options now show the
|
|
|
|
|
argument and the name of the option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tarlz now diagnoses separately the failure to create an intermediate
|
|
|
|
|
directory during extraction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Failure to extract a member due to environmental problems is no longer fatal
|
|
|
|
|
in serial extraction. (It was already non-fatal in parallel extraction).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The diagnostics emitted by the parallel decoder should now be identical to
|
|
|
|
|
the corresponding diagnostics of the serial decoder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Column alignment has been improved in listings by printing "user/group size"
|
|
|
|
|
in a field of minimum width 19 with at least 8 characters for size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The diagnostic shown when the filesystem reports a wrong st_size for a
|
|
|
|
|
symbolic link has been improved. (Reported by Jason Lenz).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The diagnostic "File is the archive" has been changed to "Archive can't
|
|
|
|
|
contain itself" following a similar change made by Paul Eggert to GNU tar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The warning "Removing leading '/' from member names." is now not shown when
|
|
|
|
|
compressing nor if the member causing it is excluded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The texinfo category of the manual has been changed from 'Data Compression'
|
|
|
|
|
to 'Archiving' to match that of GNU tar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'end-of-archive' (EOA) is now used consistently to refer to the blocks of
|
|
|
|
|
binary zeros used to mark the end of the archive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Operations are now listed before options in the --help output and in the
|
|
|
|
|
manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many small improvements have been made to the code and documentation.
