- All The Latest Disarchive News
- ******************************
- Noteworthy changes in release 0.6.0 (2024-01-24)
- ================================================
- - Archives compressed with bzip2 can now be disassembled.
- - Attempting to disassemble an unsupported file type will now result
- in an error instead of a nonsense specification.
- Noteworthy changes in release 0.5.0 (2022-09-15)
- ================================================
- - The 'disarchive-assemble' and 'specification->blueprint' procedures
- can operate on ports.
- - The base 'disarchive' command accepts 'help' and 'version' flags.
- - The 'disassemble' subcommand accepts an 'output' flag as well as
- 'help' and 'version'.
- - The 'assemble' subcommand can read from standard input, write to
- standard output, and accepts 'output', 'help', and 'version' flags.
- Noteworthy changes in release 0.4.0 (2021-12-18)
- ================================================
- - Archives compressed with XZ can now be disassembled.
- - Disarchive's internal GZip implementation should now be
- deterministic. Disarchive uses an old version of GZip inherited
- from the pristine-tar project. Since that version was forked
- (around ten years ago) a nondeterminism bug was found and fixed in
- GZip. This fix is now included in Disarchive. Note that this
- means that some specifications produced with older versions can no
- longer be built. This should only happen for archives compressed
- with a nondeterministic GZip, and even then, only when the
- nondeterminism introduced by Disarchive matches the nondeterminism
- introduced by GZip.
- - A small bug has been fixed that was preventing tarballs with
- nonzero file padding (as opposed to header padding) from being
- processed. (Before the fix, Disarchive would reject them at
- disassembly time.)
- - On newer versions of Guile, the O_NOFOLLOW variable is no longer
- clobbered, which used to produce a warning.
- - Disarchive now logs to the current error port when running as a
- script.
- Noteworthy changes in release 0.3.0 (2021-10-24)
- ================================================
- - Empty directories are no longer ignored while hashing.
- - The 'directory-ref-addresses' procedure is now exported.
- - Cross-compilation has been fixed.
- Noteworthy changes in release 0.2.1 (2021-05-06)
- ================================================
- - The octal tests have been adjusted to be more reliable.
- Noteworthy changes in release 0.2.0 (2021-03-22)
- ================================================
- - The "load" and "save" commands have been replaced with "assemble"
- and "disassemble", with new interfaces.
- - The database model has been removed. Now, Disarchive uses one
- "specification" file per disassembled file. This means that the
- "DISARCHIVE_DB" environment variable is no longer used, and a
- specification is given to the "assemble" command instead of a
- hash.
- - Address resolution can now be done by the user. In addition, the
- old resolver (using Guix to resolve SWHIDs) is turned off by
- default.
- - The full SWHID is used for Software Heritage references.
