| 16 | +0.9.0 |
| 17 | +~~~~~ |
| 18 | +First version. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +0.9.0a |
| 22 | +~~~~~~ |
| 23 | +Removed 'ranlib' from Makefile, since most modern Unix-es |
| 24 | +don't need it, or even know about it. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +0.9.0b |
| 28 | +~~~~~~ |
| 29 | +Fixed a problem with error reporting in bzip2.c. This does not effect |
| 30 | +the library in any way. Problem is: versions 0.9.0 and 0.9.0a (of the |
| 31 | +program proper) compress and decompress correctly, but give misleading |
| 32 | +error messages (internal panics) when an I/O error occurs, instead of |
| 33 | +reporting the problem correctly. This shouldn't give any data loss |
| 34 | +(as far as I can see), but is confusing. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Made the inline declarations disappear for non-GCC compilers. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +0.9.0c |
| 40 | +~~~~~~ |
| 41 | +Fixed some problems in the library pertaining to some boundary cases. |
| 42 | +This makes the library behave more correctly in those situations. The |
| 43 | +fixes apply only to features (calls and parameters) not used by |
| 44 | +bzip2.c, so the non-fixedness of them in previous versions has no |
| 45 | +effect on reliability of bzip2.c. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +In bzlib.c: |
| 48 | + * made zero-length BZ_FLUSH work correctly in bzCompress(). |
| 49 | + * fixed bzWrite/bzRead to ignore zero-length requests. |
| 50 | + * fixed bzread to correctly handle read requests after EOF. |
| 51 | + * wrong parameter order in call to bzDecompressInit in |
| 52 | + bzBuffToBuffDecompress. Fixed. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +In compress.c: |
| 55 | + * changed setting of nGroups in sendMTFValues() so as to |
| 56 | + do a bit better on small files. This _does_ effect |
| 57 | + bzip2.c. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +0.9.5a |
| 61 | +~~~~~~ |
| 62 | +Major change: add a fallback sorting algorithm (blocksort.c) |
| 63 | +to give reasonable behaviour even for very repetitive inputs. |
| 64 | +Nuked --repetitive-best and --repetitive-fast since they are |
| 65 | +no longer useful. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Minor changes: mostly a whole bunch of small changes/ |
| 68 | +bugfixes in the driver (bzip2.c). Changes pertaining to the |
| 69 | +user interface are: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + allow decompression of symlink'd files to stdout |
| 72 | + decompress/test files even without .bz2 extension |
| 73 | + give more accurate error messages for I/O errors |
| 74 | + when compressing/decompressing to stdout, don't catch control-C |
| 75 | + read flags from BZIP2 and BZIP environment variables |
| 76 | + decline to break hard links to a file unless forced with -f |
| 77 | + allow -c flag even with no filenames |
| 78 | + preserve file ownerships as far as possible |
| 79 | + make -s -1 give the expected block size (100k) |
| 80 | + add a flag -q --quiet to suppress nonessential warnings |
| 81 | + stop decoding flags after --, so files beginning in - can be handled |
| 82 | + resolved inconsistent naming: bzcat or bz2cat ? |
| 83 | + bzip2 --help now returns 0 |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +Programming-level changes are: |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | + fixed syntax error in GET_LL4 for Borland C++ 5.02 |
| 88 | + let bzBuffToBuffDecompress return BZ_DATA_ERROR{_MAGIC} |
| 89 | + fix overshoot of mode-string end in bzopen_or_bzdopen |
| 90 | + wrapped bzlib.h in #ifdef __cplusplus ... extern "C" { ... } |
| 91 | + close file handles under all error conditions |
| 92 | + added minor mods so it compiles with DJGPP out of the box |
| 93 | + fixed Makefile so it doesn't give problems with BSD make |
| 94 | + fix uninitialised memory reads in dlltest.c |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +0.9.5b |
| 97 | +~~~~~~ |
| 98 | +Open stdin/stdout in binary mode for DJGPP. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +0.9.5c |
| 101 | +~~~~~~ |
| 102 | +Changed BZ_N_OVERSHOOT to be ... + 2 instead of ... + 1. The + 1 |
| 103 | +version could cause the sorted order to be wrong in some extremely |
| 104 | +obscure cases. Also changed setting of quadrant in blocksort.c. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +0.9.5d |
| 107 | +~~~~~~ |
| 108 | +The only functional change is to make bzlibVersion() in the library |
| 109 | +return the correct string. This has no effect whatsoever on the |
| 110 | +functioning of the bzip2 program or library. Added a couple of casts |
| 111 | +so the library compiles without warnings at level 3 in MS Visual |
| 112 | +Studio 6.0. Included a Y2K statement in the file Y2K_INFO. All other |
| 113 | +changes are minor documentation changes. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +1.0 |
| 116 | +~~~ |
| 117 | +Several minor bugfixes and enhancements: |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +* Large file support. The library uses 64-bit counters to |
| 120 | + count the volume of data passing through it. bzip2.c |
| 121 | + is now compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to get large |
| 122 | + file support from the C library. -v correctly prints out |
| 123 | + file sizes greater than 4 gigabytes. All these changes have |
| 124 | + been made without assuming a 64-bit platform or a C compiler |
| 125 | + which supports 64-bit ints, so, except for the C library |
| 126 | + aspect, they are fully portable. |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +* Decompression robustness. The library/program should be |
| 129 | + robust to any corruption of compressed data, detecting and |
| 130 | + handling _all_ corruption, instead of merely relying on |
| 131 | + the CRCs. What this means is that the program should |
| 132 | + never crash, given corrupted data, and the library should |
| 133 | + always return BZ_DATA_ERROR. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +* Fixed an obscure race-condition bug only ever observed on |
| 136 | + Solaris, in which, if you were very unlucky and issued |
| 137 | + control-C at exactly the wrong time, both input and output |
| 138 | + files would be deleted. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +* Don't run out of file handles on test/decompression when |
| 141 | + large numbers of files have invalid magic numbers. |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +* Avoid library namespace pollution. Prefix all exported |
| 144 | + symbols with BZ2_. |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +* Minor sorting enhancements from my DCC2000 paper. |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +* Advance the version number to 1.0, so as to counteract the |
| 149 | + (false-in-this-case) impression some people have that programs |
| 150 | + with version numbers less than 1.0 are in some way, experimental, |
| 151 | + pre-release versions. |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +* Create an initial Makefile-libbz2_so to build a shared library. |
| 154 | + Yes, I know I should really use libtool et al ... |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +* Make the program exit with 2 instead of 0 when decompression |
| 157 | + fails due to a bad magic number (ie, an invalid bzip2 header). |
| 158 | + Also exit with 1 (as the manual claims :-) whenever a diagnostic |
| 159 | + message would have been printed AND the corresponding operation |
| 160 | + is aborted, for example |
| 161 | + bzip2: Output file xx already exists. |
| 162 | + When a diagnostic message is printed but the operation is not |
| 163 | + aborted, for example |
| 164 | + bzip2: Can't guess original name for wurble -- using wurble.out |
| 165 | + then the exit value 0 is returned, unless some other problem is |
| 166 | + also detected. |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | + I think it corresponds more closely to what the manual claims now. |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +1.0.1 |
| 172 | +~~~~~ |
| 173 | +* Modified dlltest.c so it uses the new BZ2_ naming scheme. |
| 174 | +* Modified makefile-msc to fix minor build probs on Win2k. |
| 175 | +* Updated README.COMPILATION.PROBLEMS. |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +There are no functionality changes or bug fixes relative to version |
| 178 | +1.0.0. This is just a documentation update + a fix for minor Win32 |
| 179 | +build problems. For almost everyone, upgrading from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 is |
| 180 | +utterly pointless. Don't bother. |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +1.0.2 |
| 184 | +~~~~~ |
| 185 | +A bug fix release, addressing various minor issues which have appeared |
| 186 | +in the 18 or so months since 1.0.1 was released. Most of the fixes |
| 187 | +are to do with file-handling or documentation bugs. To the best of my |
| 188 | +knowledge, there have been no data-loss-causing bugs reported in the |
| 189 | +compression/decompression engine of 1.0.0 or 1.0.1. |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +Note that this release does not improve the rather crude build system |
| 192 | +for Unix platforms. The general plan here is to autoconfiscate/ |
| 193 | +libtoolise 1.0.2 soon after release, and release the result as 1.1.0 |
| 194 | +or perhaps 1.2.0. That, however, is still just a plan at this point. |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +Here are the changes in 1.0.2. Bug-reporters and/or patch-senders in |
| 197 | +parentheses. |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +* Fix an infinite segfault loop in 1.0.1 when a directory is |
| 200 | + encountered in -f (force) mode. |
| 201 | + (Trond Eivind Glomsrod, Nicholas Nethercote, Volker Schmidt) |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +* Avoid double fclose() of output file on certain I/O error paths. |
| 204 | + (Solar Designer) |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +* Don't fail with internal error 1007 when fed a long stream (> 48MB) |
| 207 | + of byte 251. Also print useful message suggesting that 1007s may be |
| 208 | + caused by bad memory. |
| 209 | + (noticed by Juan Pedro Vallejo, fixed by me) |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +* Fix uninitialised variable silly bug in demo prog dlltest.c. |
| 212 | + (Jorj Bauer) |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +* Remove 512-MB limitation on recovered file size for bzip2recover |
| 215 | + on selected platforms which support 64-bit ints. At the moment |
| 216 | + all GCC supported platforms, and Win32. |
| 217 | + (me, Alson van der Meulen) |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +* Hard-code header byte values, to give correct operation on platforms |
| 220 | + using EBCDIC as their native character set (IBM's OS/390). |
| 221 | + (Leland Lucius) |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +* Copy file access times correctly. |
| 224 | + (Marty Leisner) |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +* Add distclean and check targets to Makefile. |
| 227 | + (Michael Carmack) |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +* Parameterise use of ar and ranlib in Makefile. Also add $(LDFLAGS). |
| 230 | + (Rich Ireland, Bo Thorsen) |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +* Pass -p (create parent dirs as needed) to mkdir during make install. |
| 233 | + (Jeremy Fusco) |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +* Dereference symlinks when copying file permissions in -f mode. |
| 236 | + (Volker Schmidt) |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +* Majorly simplify implementation of uInt64_qrm10. |
| 239 | + (Bo Lindbergh) |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +* Check the input file still exists before deleting the output one, |
| 242 | + when aborting in cleanUpAndFail(). |
| 243 | + (Joerg Prante, Robert Linden, Matthias Krings) |
| 244 | + |
| 245 | +Also a bunch of patches courtesy of Philippe Troin, the Debian maintainer |
| 246 | +of bzip2: |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +* Wrapper scripts (with manpages): bzdiff, bzgrep, bzmore. |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +* Spelling changes and minor enhancements in bzip2.1. |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +* Avoid race condition between creating the output file and setting its |
| 253 | + interim permissions safely, by using fopen_output_safely(). |
| 254 | + No changes to bzip2recover since there is no issue with file |
| 255 | + permissions there. |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +* do not print senseless report with -v when compressing an empty |
| 258 | + file. |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +* bzcat -f works on non-bzip2 files. |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | +* do not try to escape shell meta-characters on unix (the shell takes |
| 263 | + care of these). |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +* added --fast and --best aliases for -1 -9 for gzip compatibility. |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | +1.0.3 (15 Feb 05) |
| 269 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 270 | +Fixes some minor bugs since the last version, 1.0.2. |
| 271 | + |
| 272 | +* Further robustification against corrupted compressed data. |
| 273 | + There are currently no known bitstreams which can cause the |
| 274 | + decompressor to crash, loop or access memory which does not |
| 275 | + belong to it. If you are using bzip2 or the library to |
| 276 | + decompress bitstreams from untrusted sources, an upgrade |
| 277 | + to 1.0.3 is recommended. This fixes CAN-2005-1260. |
| 278 | + |
| 279 | +* The documentation has been converted to XML, from which html |
| 280 | + and pdf can be derived. |
| 281 | + |
| 282 | +* Various minor bugs in the documentation have been fixed. |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | +* Fixes for various compilation warnings with newer versions of |
| 285 | + gcc, and on 64-bit platforms. |
| 286 | + |
| 287 | +* The BZ_NO_STDIO cpp symbol was not properly observed in 1.0.2. |
| 288 | + This has been fixed. |
| 289 | + |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +1.0.4 (20 Dec 06) |
| 292 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 293 | +Fixes some minor bugs since the last version, 1.0.3. |
| 294 | + |
| 295 | +* Fix file permissions race problem (CAN-2005-0953). |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | +* Avoid possible segfault in BZ2_bzclose. From Coverity's NetBSD |
| 298 | + scan. |
| 299 | + |
| 300 | +* 'const'/prototype cleanups in the C code. |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | +* Change default install location to /usr/local, and handle multiple |
| 303 | + 'make install's without error. |
| 304 | + |
| 305 | +* Sanitise file names more carefully in bzgrep. Fixes CAN-2005-0758 |
| 306 | + to the extent that applies to bzgrep. |
| 307 | + |
| 308 | +* Use 'mktemp' rather than 'tempfile' in bzdiff. |
| 309 | + |
| 310 | +* Tighten up a couple of assertions in blocksort.c following automated |
| 311 | + analysis. |
| 312 | + |
| 313 | +* Fix minor doc/comment bugs. |
| 314 | + |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +1.0.5 (10 Dec 07) |
| 317 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 318 | +Security fix only. Fixes CERT-FI 20469 as it applies to bzip2. |
| 319 | + |
| 320 | + |
| 321 | +1.0.6 (6 Sept 10) |
| 322 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | +* Security fix for CVE-2010-0405. This was reported by Mikolaj |
| 325 | + Izdebski. |
| 326 | + |
| 327 | +* Make the documentation build on Ubuntu 10.04 |
