- Release notes for LhA V1.10
- "362 Recompiles later"
-
- Copyright © 1991,92 By Stefan Boberg
-
- Released 14-Jan-92
-
- ==========================================================================
-
-
- Unfortunately (but not unexpectedly), the initial V1.00 release of LhA
- had quite a few problems, which have all been corrected in this release.
- All commands are now implemented, and some options have been added. For a
- detailed list of what has been changed and added, please read the
- `update.txt' file in the distribution archive.
-
- PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM WITHOUT THE DOCUMENTATION - the
- license agreement clearly states that you must not do this, so please
- follow these rules and do not redistribute the executable by itself.
-
- There are some things worth noting about this version:
-
- o File collection and recursive file collection in particular is still
- a bit inefficient with multiple patterns. No real problem however.
-
- o The LhASFX program is now being distributed separately, it is
- available for anonymous FTP at lysator.liu.se as
- `/pub/amiga/LHASFX110.RUN'. V1.10 contains some bugfixes from version
- 1.00.
-
- o LhA now has all the capabilities LZ and LhArc has, except for archiving
- of empty subdirectories.
-
- o The compression of LhA V1.10 is better than that of V1.00 on some files,
- this is because of a bugfix in the compression code. It's no big
- difference, but noticeable nevertheless.
-
- o A rare decompression bug has been fixed, and handling of corrupt
- archives much improved.
-
- o The manual has been tidied up and now treats the evaluation version
- only. Some documentation errors have also been fixed.
-
- o People using the PowerPackerPatcher apparently has some problems with
- LhA not determining the right file size; this is no bug or quirk in
- LhA, it's all PPP's fault - don't blame me.
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- I hope there are no problems with this release, and I apologise for any
- inconvenience the bugs in the V1.00 version may have caused. But it was
- the very first public release of the program and as such is it almost
- bound to have some problems.
