Apache Commons Compress software defines an API for working with compression and archive formats.
These include: bzip2, gzip, pack200 and ar, cpio, jar, tar, zip, dump.
-Release 1.4
+Release 1.4.1
Changes in this version include:
-New features:
-o COMPRESS-156: Support for the XZ format has been added.
-
Fixed Bugs:
-o COMPRESS-183: 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.
-o COMPRESS-184: TarArchiveInputStream failed to parse PAX headers that
- contained non-ASCII characters.
-o COMPRESS-178: TarArchiveInputStream throws IllegalArgumentException instead of IOException
-o COMPRESS-179: TarUtils.formatLongOctalOrBinaryBytes() assumes the field will be 12 bytes long
-o COMPRESS-175: GNU Tar sometimes uses binary encoding for UID and GID
-o COMPRESS-171: ArchiveStreamFactory.createArchiveInputStream would claim
- short text files were TAR archives.
-o COMPRESS-164: ZipFile didn't work properly for archives using unicode extra
- fields rather than UTF-8 filenames and the EFS-Flag.
-o COMPRESS-169: For corrupt archives ZipFile would throw a RuntimeException in
- some cases and an IOException in others. It will now
- consistently throw an IOException.
-
-Changes:
-o COMPRESS-182: 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.
-o COMPRESS-181: Added a workaround for a Bug some tar implementations that add
- a NUL byte as first byte in numeric header fields.
-o COMPRESS-176: Added a workaround for a Bug in WinZIP which uses backslashes
- as path separators in Unicode Extra Fields.
-o COMPRESS-131: ArrayOutOfBounds while decompressing bz2. Added test case - code already seems to have been fixed.
-o COMPRESS-146: BZip2CompressorInputStream now optionally supports reading of
- concatenated .bz2 files.
-o COMPRESS-154: GZipCompressorInputStream now optionally supports reading of
- concatenated .gz files.
-o COMPRESS-16: 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.
-o COMPRESS-165: 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.
-o COMPRESS-166: The tar package can now use the POSIX/PAX variant for writing
- entries with names longer than 100 characters.
-
+o Ported libbzip2's fallback sort algorithm to
+ BZip2CompressorOutputStream to speed up compression in certain
+ edge cases.
