- (See Changes for details)
-
- New things in Zip 2.32
-
- - Fixed -R operation to match the supplied file patterns in all recursed
- subdirectories, like PKZIP 2.04 "-p -r" (or PKZIPC 4+ "-recurse")
- - Handle cases where -x, -R, and -i patterns are mixed
- - Fixes to ZipSplit, ZipNotes, and ZipCloak
- - Example C-Sharp code added for using zip32.dll (thanks to Adrian Maull)
- - Implemented some directory search speedups
- - Windows NTFS time fix
- - Fix VMS logical name parse problem
- - Handle VMS [...]
- - Add VMS DEBUG option
- - Fixed bug when encrypting large uncompressable files
- - Updated VMS help
- - Fixed selecting files to delete by date bug
- - Add new option, -MM, that will force Zip to exit with an OPEN error
- (usually error code 18) as soon as it finds an input pattern that
- is not matched during the directory scan or an input file that is
- unreadable or locked when Zip tries to open it, and without creating
- an archive (Note that, without -MM, Zip will do the usual thing of
- warning when a pattern is not matched and skipping files it can't
- read, creating the archive with what it can read, then exiting with
- an OPEN error if files were skipped)
- - Add check for when zip tries to exceed the limit for seeking in
- the output file and exit with error, instead of creating a
- possibly bad archive
- - Can now handle Unix FIFO (named pipes)
- - Minor changes to allow Zip to compile with Visual C++ 2005
-
- New things in Zip 2.31
-
- - Crypt now part of source distribution (see Readme.cr)
- - Bug fixes:
- - Debian patch 001 - Converted quoted strings
- - Debian patch 002 - Makefile changes
- - Debian patch 003 - Build changes
- - Debian patch 004 - Changes to unix/configure
- - Debian patch 005 - Fix for FNMAX path bug
- - Split VMS -V into -V and -VV (see Manual)
- - New VC6 project files thanks to Cosmin
- - AtheOS port (thanks to Ruslan Nickolaev)
- - Add api.c kluge for zip32.dll to support Visual Basic
- - Binary detection changed from 20% binary to new algorithm
- that should better detect word processing files as binary
- and should accept UTF-8 files as text. This flags the file
- in the archive as TEXT or BINARY for use by UnZip for line
- end conversion (see proginfo/txtvsbin.txt)
- - License update
