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. + -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g6feb
