| Typo in CompressorStreamFactory Javadoc Fixes COMPRESS-218. Thanks to Gili. | |
| Improved exception message if a zip archive cannot be read because of an unsupported compression method. Fixes COMPRESS-188. Thanks to Harald Kuhn. | |
| ArchiveStreamFactory has a setting for file name encoding that sets up encoding for ZIP and TAR streams. Fixes COMPRESS-192. Thanks to Jukka Zitting. | |
| ArchiveStreamFactory's tar stream detection created false positives for AIFF files. Fixes COMPRESS-191. Thanks to Jukka Zitting. | |
| TarArchiveEntry now has a method to verify its checksum. Fixes COMPRESS-191. Thanks to Jukka Zitting. | |
| XZ for Java didn't provide an OSGi bundle. Compress' dependency on it has now been marked optional so Compress itself can still be used in an OSGi context. Fixes COMPRESS-199. Thanks to Jukka Zitting. | |
| When specifying the encoding explicitly TarArchiveOutputStream would write unreadable names in GNU mode or even cause errors in POSIX mode for file names longer than 66 characters. Fixes COMPRESS-200. Thanks to Christian Schlichtherle. | |
| Writing TAR PAX headers failed if the generated entry name ended with a "/". Fixes COMPRESS-203. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream sometimes failed to provide input to the Inflater when it needed it, leading to reads returning 0. Fixes COMPRESS-189. Thanks to Daniel Lowe. | |
| Split/spanned ZIP archives are now properly detected by ArchiveStreamFactory but will cause an UnsupportedZipFeatureException when read. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream now reads archives that start with a "PK00" signature. Archives with this signatures are created when the archiver was willing to split the archive but in the end only needed a single segment - so didn't split anything. Fixes COMPRESS-208. | |
| TarArchiveEntry has a new constructor that allows setting linkFlag and preserveLeadingSlashes at the same time. Fixes COMPRESS-201. | |
| ChangeSetPerformer has a new perform overload that uses a ZipFile instance as input. Fixes COMPRESS-159. | |
| TarArchiveInputStream ignored the encoding for GNU long name entries. Fixes COMPRESS-212. | |
| Garbage collection pressure has been reduced by reusing temporary byte arrays in classes. Fixes COMPRESS-172. Thanks to Thomas Mair. | |
| Can now handle zip extra field 0x5455 - Extended Timestamp. Fixes COMPRESS-210. Thanks to Julius Davies. | |
| handle zip extra field 0x7875 - Info Zip New Unix Extra Field. Fixes COMPRESS-211. Thanks to Julius Davies. | |
| ZipShort, ZipLong, ZipEightByteInteger should implement Serializable Fixes COMPRESS-213. Thanks to Julius Davies. | |
| better support for unix symlinks in ZipFile entries Fixes COMPRESS-214. Thanks to Julius Davies. | |
| ZipFile's initialization has been improved for non-Zip64 archives. Fixes COMPRESS-215. Thanks to Robin Power. | |
| TarArchiveInputStream could leave the second EOF record inside the stream it had just finished reading. Fixes COMPRESS-206. Thanks to Peter De Maeyer. | |
| DumpArchiveInputStream no longer implicitly closes the original input stream when it reaches the end of the archive. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream now consumes the remainder of the archive when getNextZipEntry returns null. | |
| Unit tests could fail if the source tree was checked out to a directory tree containign spaces. Fixes COMPRESS-205. Thanks to Daniel Lowe. | |
| Updated XZ for Java dependency to 1.2 as this version provides proper OSGi manifest attributes. | |
| Fixed a potential ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when reading STORED entries from ZipArchiveInputStream. Fixes COMPRESS-219. | |
| CompressorStreamFactory can now be used without XZ for Java being available. Fixes COMPRESS-221. | |
| CompressorStreamFactory has an option to create decompressing streams that decompress the full input for formats that support multiple concatenated streams. Fixes COMPRESS-220. |
| Type | Changes | By |
|---|---|---|
| The tar package now allows the encoding of file names to be specified and can optionally use PAX extension headers to write non-ASCII file names. The stream classes now write (or expect to read) archives that use the platform's native encoding for file names. Apache Commons Compress 1.3 used to strip everything but the lower eight bits of each character which effectively only worked for ASCII and ISO-8859-1 file names. This new default behavior is a breaking change. Fixes COMPRESS-183. | |
| TarArchiveInputStream failed to parse PAX headers that contained non-ASCII characters. Fixes COMPRESS-184. | |
| The tar package can now write archives that use star/GNU/BSD extensions or use the POSIX/PAX variant to store numeric values that don't fit into the traditional header fields. Fixes COMPRESS-182. | |
| Added a workaround for a Bug some tar implementations that add a NUL byte as first byte in numeric header fields. Fixes COMPRESS-181. | |
| Added a workaround for a Bug in WinZIP which uses backslashes as path separators in Unicode Extra Fields. Fixes COMPRESS-176. | |
| ArrayOutOfBounds while decompressing bz2. Added test case - code already seems to have been fixed. Fixes COMPRESS-131. | |
| TarArchiveInputStream throws IllegalArgumentException instead of IOException Fixes COMPRESS-178. | |
| TarUtils.formatLongOctalOrBinaryBytes() assumes the field will be 12 bytes long Fixes COMPRESS-179. | |
| GNU Tar sometimes uses binary encoding for UID and GID Fixes COMPRESS-175. | |
| ArchiveStreamFactory.createArchiveInputStream would claim short text files were TAR archives. Fixes COMPRESS-171. | |
| Support for the XZ format has been added. Fixes COMPRESS-156. | |
| BZip2CompressorInputStream now optionally supports reading of concatenated .bz2 files. Fixes COMPRESS-146. | |
| GZipCompressorInputStream now optionally supports reading of concatenated .gz files. Fixes COMPRESS-154. | |
| ZipFile didn't work properly for archives using unicode extra fields rather than UTF-8 filenames and the EFS-Flag. Fixes COMPRESS-164. | |
| The tar package can now read archives that use star/GNU/BSD extensions for files that are longer than 8 GByte as well as archives that use the POSIX/PAX variant. Fixes COMPRESS-16. | |
| The tar package can now write archives that use star/GNU/BSD extensions for files that are longer than 8 GByte as well as archives that use the POSIX/PAX variant. Fixes COMPRESS-165. | |
| The tar package can now use the POSIX/PAX variant for writing entries with names longer than 100 characters. Fixes COMPRESS-166. | |
| For corrupt archives ZipFile would throw a RuntimeException in some cases and an IOException in others. It will now consistently throw an IOException. Fixes COMPRESS-169. |
| Type | Changes | By |
|---|---|---|
| Support for the Pack200 format has been added. Fixes COMPRESS-142. | |
| Read-only support for the format used by the Unix dump(8) tool has been added. Fixes COMPRESS-132. | |
| The ZIP package now supports Zip64 extensions. Fixes COMPRESS-36. | |
| The AR package now supports the BSD dialect of storing file names longer than 16 chars (both reading and writing). Fixes COMPRESS-144. | |
| BZip2CompressorInputStream's getBytesRead method always returned 0. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream and ZipArchiveOutputStream could leak resources on some JDKs. Fixes COMPRESS-152. | |
| TarArchiveOutputStream's getBytesWritten method didn't count correctly. Fixes COMPRESS-160. |
| Type | Changes | By |
|---|---|---|
| ZipArchiveInputStream could fail with a "Truncated ZIP" error message for entries between 2 GByte and 4 GByte in size. Fixes COMPRESS-129. | |
| TarArchiveInputStream now detects sparse entries using the oldgnu format and properly reports it cannot extract their contents. Fixes COMPRESS-145. | |
| ZipArchiveEntry has a new method getRawName that provides the original bytes that made up the name. This may allow user code to detect the encoding. Fixes COMPRESS-123. | |
| The Javadoc for ZipArchiveInputStream#skip now matches the implementation, the code has been made more defensive. Fixes COMPRESS-130. | |
| ArArchiveInputStream fails if entries contain only blanks for userId or groupId. Fixes COMPRESS-140. Thanks to Trejkaz. | |
| ZipFile may leak resources on some JDKs. Fixes COMPRESS-139. | |
| ZipFile now implements finalize which closes the underlying file. | |
| Certain tar files not recognised by ArchiveStreamFactory. Fixes COMPRESS-117. | |
| BZip2CompressorInputStream throws IOException if underlying stream returns available() == 0. Removed the check. Fixes COMPRESS-125. | |
| Calling close() on inputStream returned by CompressorStreamFactory.createCompressorInputStream() does not close the underlying input stream. Fixes COMPRESS-127. | |
| TarArchiveEntry provides access to the flags that determine whether it is an archived symbolic link, pipe or other "uncommon" file system object. Fixes COMPRESS-122. | |
| TarArchiveOutputStream#finish now writes all buffered data to the stream Fixes COMPRESS-119. |
| Type | Changes | By |
|---|---|---|
| Move acknowledgements from NOTICE to README Fixes COMPRESS-72. | |
| TarArchiveEntry.parseTarHeader() includes the trailing space/NUL when parsing the octal size Fixes COMPRESS-113. | |
| Command-line interface to list archive contents. Usage: java -jar commons-compress-n.m.jar archive-name [zip|tar|etc] Fixes COMPRESS-108. | |
| TarUtils.parseName does not properly handle characters outside the range 0-127 Fixes COMPRESS-118. | |
| ArArchiveInputStream does not handle GNU extended filename records (//) Fixes COMPRESS-112. | |
| Tar implementation does not support Pax headers Added support for reading pax headers. Note: does not support global pax headers Fixes COMPRESS-109. | |
| ArchiveStreamFactory does not recognise tar files created by Ant Fixes COMPRESS-107. | |
| Support "ustar" prefix field, which is used when file paths are longer than 100 characters. Fixes COMPRESS-110. | |
| Document that the name of an ZipArchiveEntry determines whether an entry is considered a directory or not. If you don't use the constructor with the File argument the entry's name must end in a "/" in order for the entry to be known as a directory. Fixes COMPRESS-105. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream can optionally extract data that used the STORED compression method and a data descriptor. Doing so in a stream is not safe in general, so you have to explicitly enable the feature. By default the stream will throw an exception if it encounters such an entry. Fixes COMPRESS-103. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream will throw an exception if it detects an entry that uses a data descriptor for a STORED entry since it cannot reliably find the end of data for this "compression" method. Fixes COMPRESS-100. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream should now properly read archives that use data descriptors but without the "unofficial" signature. Fixes COMPRESS-101. | |
| The ZIP classes will throw specialized exceptions if any attempt is made to read or write data that uses zip features not supported (yet). Fixes COMPRESS-98. | |
| ZipFile#getEntries returns entries in a predictable order - the order they appear inside the central directory. A new method getEntriesInPhysicalOrder returns entries in order of the entry data, i.e. the order ZipArchiveInputStream would see. Fixes COMPRESS-99. | |
| The Archive*Stream and ZipFile classes now have can(Read|Write)EntryData methods that can be used to check whether a given entry's data can be read/written. The method currently returns false for ZIP archives if an entry uses an unsupported compression method or encryption. | |
| The ZIP classes now detect encrypted entries. Fixes COMPRESS-89. | |
| Move DOS/Java time conversions into Zip utility class. Fixes COMPRESS-79. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream failed to update the number of bytes read properly. Fixes COMPRESS-74. | |
| ArchiveInputStream has a new method getBytesRead that should be preferred over getCount since the later may truncate the number of bytes read for big archives. | |
| The cpio archives created by CpioArchiveOutputStream couldn't be read by many existing native implementations because the archives contained multiple entries with the same inode/device combinations and weren't padded to a blocksize of 512 bytes. Fixes COMPRESS-85. | |
| ZipArchiveEntry, ZipFile and ZipArchiveInputStream are now more lenient when parsing extra fields. Fixes COMPRESS-73. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream does not show location in file where a problem occurred. Fixes COMPRESS-75. | |
| cpio is terribly slow. Documented that buffered streams are needed for performance Fixes COMPRESS-82. | |
| Added autodetection of compression format to CompressorStreamFactory. Fixes COMPRESS-97. | |
| Improved exception message if the extra field data in ZIP archives cannot be parsed. | |
| Tar format unspecified - current support documented. Fixes COMPRESS-17. | |
| Improve ExceptionMessages in ArchiveStreamFactory Fixes COMPRESS-95. Thanks to Joerg Bellmann. | |
| ZipArchiveEntry's equals method was broken for entries created with the String-arg constructor. This lead to broken ZIP archives if two different entries had the same hash code. Fixes COMPRESS-94. Thanks to Anon Devs. | |
| ZipArchiveInputStream could repeatedly return 0 on read() when the archive was truncated. Fixes COMPRESS-87. Thanks to Antoni Mylka. | |
| Tar archive entries holding the file name for names longer than 100 characters in GNU longfile mode didn't properly specify they'd be using the "oldgnu" extension. Fixes COMPRESS-86. | |
| A new constructor of TarArchiveEntry can create entries with names that start with slashes - the default is to strip leading slashes in order to create relative path names. | |
| Delegate all read and write methods in GZip stream in order to speed up operations. Fixes COMPRESS-83. | |
| ArchiveEntry now has a getLastModifiedDate method. | |
| The ar and cpio streams now properly read and write last modified times. | |
| TarOutputStream can leave garbage at the end of the archive Fixes COMPRESS-81. | |
| Add a BZip2Utils class modelled after GZipUtils Fixes COMPRESS-78. Thanks to Jukka Zitting. |
