A race has been fixed in zcmp and zdiff that sometimes made them return 1
|
|
|
|
|
(files differ) instead of 2 (trouble) when a compressor is not found or when
|
|
|
|
|
the wrong format is forced.

|
|
|
In case of error in a numerical argument to a command line option, zcmp
|
|
|
|
|
now shows the name of the option and the range of valid values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for the zstd format has been added to all tools. This allows, among
|
|
|
|
|
other things, zupdating zstd files to lzip format for long-term archiving,
|
|
|
|
|
and using zcmp along with the unzcrash tool (from the lziprecover package)
|
|
|
|
|
to test zstd files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'zdiff --verbose --version' now prints the version of the diff program used
|
|
|
|
|
if it supports the option '--version'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'zgrep --verbose --version' now prints the version of the grep program used
|
|
|
|
|
if it supports the option '--version'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has been documented in the manual how to recompress files with zupdate
|
|
|
|
|
from a read-only file system to another place by first linking the files
|
|
|
|
|
from the destination directory and then compressing the links:
|
|
|
|
|
'ln -s /src/foo.gz . && zupdate foo.gz'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The texinfo category of the manual has been changed from 'Data Compression'
|
|
|
|
|
to 'Compression' to match that of gzip. (Reported by Alfred M. Szmidt).
