| 0.9.0 |
| ~~~~~ |
| First version. |
| |
| |
| 0.9.0a |
| ~~~~~~ |
| Removed 'ranlib' from Makefile, since most modern Unix-es |
| don't need it, or even know about it. |
| |
| |
| 0.9.0b |
| ~~~~~~ |
| Fixed a problem with error reporting in bzip2.c. This does not effect |
| the library in any way. Problem is: versions 0.9.0 and 0.9.0a (of the |
| program proper) compress and decompress correctly, but give misleading |
| error messages (internal panics) when an I/O error occurs, instead of |
| reporting the problem correctly. This shouldn't give any data loss |
| (as far as I can see), but is confusing. |
| |
| Made the inline declarations disappear for non-GCC compilers. |
| |
| |
| 0.9.0c |
| ~~~~~~ |
| Fixed some problems in the library pertaining to some boundary cases. |
| This makes the library behave more correctly in those situations. The |
| fixes apply only to features (calls and parameters) not used by |
| bzip2.c, so the non-fixedness of them in previous versions has no |
| effect on reliability of bzip2.c. |
| |
| In bzlib.c: |
| * made zero-length BZ_FLUSH work correctly in bzCompress(). |
| * fixed bzWrite/bzRead to ignore zero-length requests. |
| * fixed bzread to correctly handle read requests after EOF. |
| * wrong parameter order in call to bzDecompressInit in |
| bzBuffToBuffDecompress. Fixed. |
| |
| In compress.c: |
| * changed setting of nGroups in sendMTFValues() so as to |
| do a bit better on small files. This _does_ effect |
| bzip2.c. |
| |
| |
| 0.9.5a |
| ~~~~~~ |
| Major change: add a fallback sorting algorithm (blocksort.c) |
| to give reasonable behaviour even for very repetitive inputs. |
| Nuked --repetitive-best and --repetitive-fast since they are |
| no longer useful. |
| |
| Minor changes: mostly a whole bunch of small changes/ |
| bugfixes in the driver (bzip2.c). Changes pertaining to the |
| user interface are: |
| |
| allow decompression of symlink'd files to stdout |
| decompress/test files even without .bz2 extension |
| give more accurate error messages for I/O errors |
| when compressing/decompressing to stdout, don't catch control-C |
| read flags from BZIP2 and BZIP environment variables |
| decline to break hard links to a file unless forced with -f |
| allow -c flag even with no filenames |
| preserve file ownerships as far as possible |
| make -s -1 give the expected block size (100k) |
| add a flag -q --quiet to suppress nonessential warnings |
| stop decoding flags after --, so files beginning in - can be handled |
| resolved inconsistent naming: bzcat or bz2cat ? |
| bzip2 --help now returns 0 |
| |
| Programming-level changes are: |
| |
| fixed syntax error in GET_LL4 for Borland C++ 5.02 |
| let bzBuffToBuffDecompress return BZ_DATA_ERROR{_MAGIC} |
| fix overshoot of mode-string end in bzopen_or_bzdopen |
| wrapped bzlib.h in #ifdef __cplusplus ... extern "C" { ... } |
| close file handles under all error conditions |
| added minor mods so it compiles with DJGPP out of the box |
| fixed Makefile so it doesn't give problems with BSD make |
| fix uninitialised memory reads in dlltest.c |
| |
| 0.9.5b |
| ~~~~~~ |
| Open stdin/stdout in binary mode for DJGPP. |
| |
| 0.9.5c |
| ~~~~~~ |
| Changed BZ_N_OVERSHOOT to be ... + 2 instead of ... + 1. The + 1 |
| version could cause the sorted order to be wrong in some extremely |
| obscure cases. Also changed setting of quadrant in blocksort.c. |
| |
| 0.9.5d |
| ~~~~~~ |
| The only functional change is to make bzlibVersion() in the library |
| return the correct string. This has no effect whatsoever on the |
| functioning of the bzip2 program or library. Added a couple of casts |
| so the library compiles without warnings at level 3 in MS Visual |
| Studio 6.0. Included a Y2K statement in the file Y2K_INFO. All other |
| changes are minor documentation changes. |
| |
| 1.0 |
| ~~~ |
| Several minor bugfixes and enhancements: |
| |
| * Large file support. The library uses 64-bit counters to |
| count the volume of data passing through it. bzip2.c |
| is now compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to get large |
| file support from the C library. -v correctly prints out |
| file sizes greater than 4 gigabytes. All these changes have |
| been made without assuming a 64-bit platform or a C compiler |
| which supports 64-bit ints, so, except for the C library |
| aspect, they are fully portable. |
| |
| * Decompression robustness. The library/program should be |
| robust to any corruption of compressed data, detecting and |
| handling _all_ corruption, instead of merely relying on |
| the CRCs. What this means is that the program should |
| never crash, given corrupted data, and the library should |
| always return BZ_DATA_ERROR. |
| |
| * Fixed an obscure race-condition bug only ever observed on |
| Solaris, in which, if you were very unlucky and issued |
| control-C at exactly the wrong time, both input and output |
| files would be deleted. |
| |
| * Don't run out of file handles on test/decompression when |
| large numbers of files have invalid magic numbers. |
| |
| * Avoid library namespace pollution. Prefix all exported |
| symbols with BZ2_. |
| |
| * Minor sorting enhancements from my DCC2000 paper. |
| |
| * Advance the version number to 1.0, so as to counteract the |
| (false-in-this-case) impression some people have that programs |
| with version numbers less than 1.0 are in some way, experimental, |
| pre-release versions. |
| |
| * Create an initial Makefile-libbz2_so to build a shared library. |
| Yes, I know I should really use libtool et al ... |
| |
| * Make the program exit with 2 instead of 0 when decompression |
| fails due to a bad magic number (ie, an invalid bzip2 header). |
| Also exit with 1 (as the manual claims :-) whenever a diagnostic |
| message would have been printed AND the corresponding operation |
| is aborted, for example |
| bzip2: Output file xx already exists. |
| When a diagnostic message is printed but the operation is not |
| aborted, for example |
| bzip2: Can't guess original name for wurble -- using wurble.out |
| then the exit value 0 is returned, unless some other problem is |
| also detected. |
| |
| I think it corresponds more closely to what the manual claims now. |
| |
| |
| 1.0.1 |
| ~~~~~ |
| * Modified dlltest.c so it uses the new BZ2_ naming scheme. |
| * Modified makefile-msc to fix minor build probs on Win2k. |
| * Updated README.COMPILATION.PROBLEMS. |
| |
| There are no functionality changes or bug fixes relative to version |
| 1.0.0. This is just a documentation update + a fix for minor Win32 |
| build problems. For almost everyone, upgrading from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 is |
| utterly pointless. Don't bother. |
| |
| |
| 1.0.2 |
| ~~~~~ |
| A bug fix release, addressing various minor issues which have appeared |
| in the 18 or so months since 1.0.1 was released. Most of the fixes |
| are to do with file-handling or documentation bugs. To the best of my |
| knowledge, there have been no data-loss-causing bugs reported in the |
| compression/decompression engine of 1.0.0 or 1.0.1. |
| |
| Note that this release does not improve the rather crude build system |
| for Unix platforms. The general plan here is to autoconfiscate/ |
| libtoolise 1.0.2 soon after release, and release the result as 1.1.0 |
| or perhaps 1.2.0. That, however, is still just a plan at this point. |
| |
| Here are the changes in 1.0.2. Bug-reporters and/or patch-senders in |
| parentheses. |
| |
| * Fix an infinite segfault loop in 1.0.1 when a directory is |
| encountered in -f (force) mode. |
| (Trond Eivind Glomsrod, Nicholas Nethercote, Volker Schmidt) |
| |
| * Avoid double fclose() of output file on certain I/O error paths. |
| (Solar Designer) |
| |
| * Don't fail with internal error 1007 when fed a long stream (> 48MB) |
| of byte 251. Also print useful message suggesting that 1007s may be |
| caused by bad memory. |
| (noticed by Juan Pedro Vallejo, fixed by me) |
| |
| * Fix uninitialised variable silly bug in demo prog dlltest.c. |
| (Jorj Bauer) |
| |
| * Remove 512-MB limitation on recovered file size for bzip2recover |
| on selected platforms which support 64-bit ints. At the moment |
| all GCC supported platforms, and Win32. |
| (me, Alson van der Meulen) |
| |
| * Hard-code header byte values, to give correct operation on platforms |
| using EBCDIC as their native character set (IBM's OS/390). |
| (Leland Lucius) |
| |
| * Copy file access times correctly. |
| (Marty Leisner) |
| |
| * Add distclean and check targets to Makefile. |
| (Michael Carmack) |
| |
| * Parameterise use of ar and ranlib in Makefile. Also add $(LDFLAGS). |
| (Rich Ireland, Bo Thorsen) |
| |
| * Pass -p (create parent dirs as needed) to mkdir during make install. |
| (Jeremy Fusco) |
| |
| * Dereference symlinks when copying file permissions in -f mode. |
| (Volker Schmidt) |
| |
| * Majorly simplify implementation of uInt64_qrm10. |
| (Bo Lindbergh) |
| |
| * Check the input file still exists before deleting the output one, |
| when aborting in cleanUpAndFail(). |
| (Joerg Prante, Robert Linden, Matthias Krings) |
| |
| Also a bunch of patches courtesy of Philippe Troin, the Debian maintainer |
| of bzip2: |
| |
| * Wrapper scripts (with manpages): bzdiff, bzgrep, bzmore. |
| |
| * Spelling changes and minor enhancements in bzip2.1. |
| |
| * Avoid race condition between creating the output file and setting its |
| interim permissions safely, by using fopen_output_safely(). |
| No changes to bzip2recover since there is no issue with file |
| permissions there. |
| |
| * do not print senseless report with -v when compressing an empty |
| file. |
| |
| * bzcat -f works on non-bzip2 files. |
| |
| * do not try to escape shell meta-characters on unix (the shell takes |
| care of these). |
| |
| * added --fast and --best aliases for -1 -9 for gzip compatibility. |
| |
| |
| 1.0.3 (15 Feb 05) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| Fixes some minor bugs since the last version, 1.0.2. |
| |
| * Further robustification against corrupted compressed data. |
| There are currently no known bitstreams which can cause the |
| decompressor to crash, loop or access memory which does not |
| belong to it. If you are using bzip2 or the library to |
| decompress bitstreams from untrusted sources, an upgrade |
| to 1.0.3 is recommended. This fixes CAN-2005-1260. |
| |
| * The documentation has been converted to XML, from which html |
| and pdf can be derived. |
| |
| * Various minor bugs in the documentation have been fixed. |
| |
| * Fixes for various compilation warnings with newer versions of |
| gcc, and on 64-bit platforms. |
| |
| * The BZ_NO_STDIO cpp symbol was not properly observed in 1.0.2. |
| This has been fixed. |
| |
| |
| 1.0.4 (20 Dec 06) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| Fixes some minor bugs since the last version, 1.0.3. |
| |
| * Fix file permissions race problem (CAN-2005-0953). |
| |
| * Avoid possible segfault in BZ2_bzclose. From Coverity's NetBSD |
| scan. |
| |
| * 'const'/prototype cleanups in the C code. |
| |
| * Change default install location to /usr/local, and handle multiple |
| 'make install's without error. |
| |
| * Sanitise file names more carefully in bzgrep. Fixes CAN-2005-0758 |
| to the extent that applies to bzgrep. |
| |
| * Use 'mktemp' rather than 'tempfile' in bzdiff. |
| |
| * Tighten up a couple of assertions in blocksort.c following automated |
| analysis. |
| |
| * Fix minor doc/comment bugs. |
| |
| |
| 1.0.5 (10 Dec 07) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| Security fix only. Fixes CERT-FI 20469 as it applies to bzip2. |
| |
| |
| 1.0.6 (6 Sept 10) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| * Security fix for CVE-2010-0405. This was reported by Mikolaj |
| Izdebski. |
| |
| * Make the documentation build on Ubuntu 10.04 |
| |
| 1.0.7 (27 Jun 19) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| * Fix undefined behavior in the macros SET_BH, CLEAR_BH, & ISSET_BH |
| |
| * bzip2: Fix return value when combining --test,-t and -q. |
| |
| * bzip2recover: Fix buffer overflow for large argv[0] |
| |
| * bzip2recover: Fix use after free issue with outFile (CVE-2016-3189) |
| |
| * Make sure nSelectors is not out of range (CVE-2019-12900) |
| |
| 1.0.8 (13 Jul 19) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| * Accept as many selectors as the file format allows. |
| This relaxes the fix for CVE-2019-12900 from 1.0.7 |
| so that bzip2 allows decompression of bz2 files that |
| use (too) many selectors again. |
| |
| * Fix handling of large (> 4GB) files on Windows. |
| |
| * Cleanup of bzdiff and bzgrep scripts so they don't use |
| any bash extensions and handle multiple archives correctly. |
| |
| * There is now a bz2-files testsuite at |
| https://sourceware.org/git/bzip2-tests.git |
