Changes in version 0.24:
Changes in version 0.25:
The option '-C, --directory' is now position-dependent also for diff and
extract. (Reported by Devon Sean McCullough).
The new option '--ignore-metadata', which makes '-d, --diff' ignore
differences in file permissions, owner and group IDs, and modification time,
has been added.
Option '--uncompressed' can now be omitted if it can be deduced from the
archive name. (An uncompressed archive name lacks a '.lz' or '.tlz' extension).
'#include <sys/types.h>' for major, minor, makedev on BSD systems.
The diagnostic shown when a file being archived or an archive being
compressed fails to read, now shows the cause of the failure; end-of-file or
read error.
File diagnostics of '-z' have been reformatted as 'PROGRAM: FILE: MESSAGE'.
'-z, --compress' now exits with error status 2 if any input archive is an
empty file.
The option '-o, --output' now creates missing intermediate directories when
compressing to a file.
A failure in the '--diff' test of the testsuite on OS/2 has been fixed.
(Reported by Elbert Pol).
The variable MAKEINFO has been added to configure and Makefile.in.
