Details available at	http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-07:05.libarchive.asc May 26, 2007: libarchive 2.2.3 releasedMay 26, 2007: Fix memory leaks in ZIP reader and shar writer, add some	missing system headers to archive_entry.h, dead code cleanup	from Colin Percival, more tests for gzip/bzip2, fix an	EOF anomaly in bzip2 decompression. May 12, 2007: libarchive 2.2.2 releasedMay 12, 2007: Fix archive_write_disk permission restore by cloning	entry passed into write_header so that permission info is	still available at finish_entry time.  (archive_read_extract()	worked okay because it held onto the passed-in entry, but	direct consumers of archive_write_disk would break).  This	required fixing archive_entry_clone(), which now works and has	a reasonably complete test case.May 10, 2007: Skeletal cpio implementation. May 06, 2007: libarchive 2.2.1 releasedMay 06, 2007: Flesh out a lot more of test_entry.c so as to catch	problems such as the device node breakage before releasing <sigh>.May 05, 2007: Fix a bad bug introduced in 2.1.9 that broke device	node entries in tar archives.May 03, 2007: Move 'struct stat' out of archive_entry core as well.	This removes some portability headaches and fixes a bunch	of corner cases that arise when manipulating archives on	dissimilar systems. Apr 30, 2007: libarchive 2.1.10 releasedApr 31, 2007: Minor code cleanup. Apr 24, 2007: libarchive 2.1.9 releasedApr 24, 2007: Fix some recently-introduced problems with libraries	(Just let automake handle it and it all works much better.)	Finish isolating major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry.c. Apr 23, 2007: libarchive 2.1.8 releasedApr 23, 2007: Minor fixes found from building on MacOS X Apr 22, 2007: libarchive 2.1.7 releasedApr 22, 2007: Eliminated all uses of 'struct stat' from the	format readers/writers.  This should improve portability;	'struct stat' is now only used in archive_entry and in	code that actually touches the disk. Apr 17, 2007: libarchive 2.1.6 released	Libarchive now compiles and passes all tests on Interix. Apr 16, 2007: libarchive 2.1.5 released Apr 15, 2007: libarchive 2.1b2 releasedApr 15, 2007: New libarchive_internals.3 documentation of internal APIs.	Not complete, but should prove helpful.Apr 15, 2007: Experimental "read_compress_program" and "write_compress_program"	for using libarchive with external compression.  Not yet	well tested, and likely has portability issues.  Feedback	appreciated. Apr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.31 releasedApr 14, 2007: More fixes for Interix, more 'ar' work Apr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.30 releasedApr 13, 2007: libarchive now enforces trailing '/' on dirs	written to tar archives Apr 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.29 releasedApr 11, 2007: Make it easier to statically configure for different platforms.Apr 11, 2007: Updated config.guess, config.sub, libtool Apr 06, 2007: libarchive 2.0.28 releasedApr 06, 2007: 'ar' format read/write support thanks to Kai Wang. Apr 01, 2007: libarchive 2.0.27 releasedMar 31, 2007: Several minor fixes from Colin Percival and Joerg Sonnenberger. Mar 12, 2007: libarchive 2.0.25 releasedMar 12, 2007: Fix broken --unlink flag. Mar 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.24 releasedMar 10, 2007: Correct an ACL blunder that causes any ACL with an entry    that refers to a non-existent user or group to not be restored correctly.    The fix both makes the parser more tolerant (so that archives created    with the buggy ACLs can be read now) and corrects the ACL formatter.Mar 10, 2007: More work on test portability to Linux. Mar 10, 2007: libarchive 2.0.22 releasedMar 10, 2007: Header cleanups; added linux/fs.h, removed    some unnecessary headers, added #include guards in bsdtar.    If you see any obvious compile failures from this, let me know.Mar 10, 2007: Work on bsdtar test scripts: not yet robust enough    to enable as part of "make check", but getting better.Mar 10, 2007: libarchive now returns ARCHIVE_FAILED when    a header write fails in a way that only affects this item.    Less bad than ARCHIVE_FATAL, but worse than ARCHIVE_WARN. Mar 07, 2007: libarchive 2.0.21 releasedMar 07, 2007: Add some ACL tests (only for the system-independent    portion of the ACL support for now).Mar 07, 2007: tar's ability to read ACLs off disk got    turned off for FreeBSD; re-enable it.  (ACL restores and    libarchive support for storing/reading ACLs from pax    archives was unaffected.) Mar 02, 2007: libarchive 2.0.20 releasedMar 2, 2007:  It's not perfect, but it's pretty good.    Libarchive 2.0 is officially out of beta. Feb 28, 2007: libarchive 2.0b17 releasedFeb 27, 2007: Make the GID restore checks more robust by checking    whether the current user has too few or too many privileges. Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b15 releasedFeb 26, 2007: Don't lose symlinks when extracting from ISOs.    Thanks to Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò for telling me about the    broken testcase on Gentoo that (finally!) led me to the cause    of this long-standing bug. Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b14 releasedFeb 26, 2007: Fix a broken test on platforms that lack lchmod(). Feb 25, 2007: libarchive 2.0b13 releasedFeb 25, 2007: Empty archives were being written as empty files,    without a proper end-of-archive marker.  Fixed. Feb 23, 2007: libarchive 2.0b12 releasedFeb 22, 2007: Basic security checks added: _EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT    and _EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINK.  These checks used to be in bsdtar,    but they belong down in libarchive where they can be used by    other tools and where they can be better optimized. Feb 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0b11 releasedFeb 10, 2007: Fixed a bunch of errors in libarchive's handling    of EXTRACT_PERM and EXTRACT_OWNER, especially relating    to SUID and SGID bits. Jan 31, 2007: libarchive 2.0b9 releasedJan 31, 2007: Added read support for "empty" archives as a    distinct archive format.  Bsdtar uses this to handle, e.g.,    "touch foo.tar; tar -rf foo.tar" Jan 22, 2007: libarchive 2.0b6 releasedJan 22, 2007: archive_write_disk API is now in place.  It provides    a finer-grained interface than archive_read_extract.  In particular,    you can use it to create objects on disk without having an archive    around (just feed it archive_entry objects describing what you    want to create), you can override the uname/gname-to-uid/gid lookups    (minitar uses this to avoid getpwXXX() and getgrXXX() bloat). Jan 09, 2007: libarchive 2.0a3 releasedJan 9, 2007: archive_extract is now much better; it handles the    most common cases with a minimal number of system calls.    Some features still need a lot of testing, especially corner    cases involving objects that already exist on disk.   I expect    the next round of API overhaul will simplify building test cases.Jan 9, 2007: a number of fixes thanks to Colin Percival, especially    corrections to the skip() framework and handling of large files.Jan 9, 2007: Fixes for large ISOs.  The code should correctly handle    very large ISOs with entries up to 4G.   Thanks to Robert Sciuk    for pointing out these issues. Sep 05, 2006: libarchive 1.3.1 releasedSep 5, 2006: Bump version to 1.3 for new I/O wrappers.Sep 4, 2006: New memory and FILE read/write wrappers.Sep 4, 2006: libarchive test harness is now minimally functional;    it's located a few minor bugs in error-handling logic Aug 17, 2006: libarchive 1.2.54 releasedAug 17, 2006: Outline ABI changes for libarchive 2.0; these   are protected behind #ifdef's until I think I've found everything   that needs to change.Aug 17, 2006: Fix error-handling in archive_read/write_close()   They weren't returning any errors before.Aug 17, 2006: Fix recursive-add logic to not trigger if it's not set   Fixes a bug adding files when writing archive to pipe or when   using archive_write_open() directly.Jul 2006: New "skip" handling improves performance extracting   single files from large uncompressed archives. Mar 21, 2006: 1.2.52 releasedMar 21, 2006: Fix -p on platforms that don't have platform-specific   extended attribute code.Mar 20, 2006: Add NEWS file; fill in some older history from other   files.  I'll try to keep this file up-to-date from now on. OLDER NEWS SUMMARIES Mar 19, 2006: libarchive 1.2.51 releasedMar 18, 2006: Many fixes to extended attribute support, including a redesign   of the storage format to simplify debugging.Mar 12, 2006: Remove 'tp' support; it was a fun idea, but not worth   spending much time on.Mar 11, 2006: Incorporated Jaakko Heinonen's still-experimental support   for extended attributes (Currently Linux-only.).Mar 11, 2006: Reorganized distribution package: There is now one tar.gz   file that builds both libarchive and bsdtar.Feb 13, 2006: Minor bug fixes: correctly read cpio device entries, write   Pax attribute entry names.Nov 7, 2005: Experimental 'tp' format support in libarchive.  Feedback   appreciated; this is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all()   yet as I'm not quite content with the format detection heuristics.Nov 7, 2005: Some more portability improvements thanks to Darin Broady,   minor bugfixes.Oct 12, 2005: Use GNU libtool to build shared libraries on many systems.Aug 9, 2005: Correctly detect that MacOS X does not have POSIX ACLs.Apr 17, 2005: Kees Zeelenberg has ported libarchive and bsdtar to Windows:   http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/Apr 11, 2005: Extended Zip/Zip64 support thanks to Dan Nelson.  -L/-h   fix from Jaakko Heinonen.Mar 12, 2005: archive_read_extract can now handle very long   pathnames (I've tested with pathnames up to 1MB).Mar 12, 2005: Marcus Geiger has written an article about libarchive   http://xsnil.antbear.org/2005/02/05/archive-mit-libarchive-verarbeiten/   including examples of using it from Objective-C.  His MoinX   http://moinx.antbear.org/ desktop Wiki uses   libarchive for archiving and restoring Wiki pages.Jan 22, 2005: Preliminary ZIP extraction support,    new directory-walking code for bsdtar.Jan 16, 2005: ISO9660 extraction code added; manpage corrections.May 22, 2004: Many gtar-compatible long options have been added; almost    all FreeBSD ports extract correctly with bsdtar.May 18, 2004: bsdtar can read Solaris, HP-UX, Unixware, star, gtar,    and pdtar archives.
