NOTE: All releases below marked (Chris Frey) are maintenance releases done by Chris Frey, temporarily stepping in for Mark Roth. These releases are git-based only and can be found at: http://repo.or.cz/w/libtar.git Both git downloads and tarball downloads are possible at this site. libtar 1.2.20 - 2013/10/09 (Chris Frey) ------------- Added extern "C" protectors to listhash.h Added autoconf checks for __thread compiler support Fixed size_t overflow bug, as reported by Timo Warns Fixed thread-safe bug in th_get_pathname() (Sergey Zhitomirsky) libtar 1.2.19 - 2012/12/11 (Chris Frey) ------------- Removed varargs.h and all dependencies, to avoid user compile errors Fixed some short int / int compiler warnings in va_arg() usage Fixed some gcc built-in compiler warnings Changed autoconf support code from AC_RUN_ to AC_COMPILE_ to fix issues reported during cross-compiling. Applied most of Jan Cermak's const char* function argument patch. libtar 1.2.18 - 2012/08/02 (Chris Frey) ------------- Added more forgiving CRC checking logic when reading tar files Note: If your application uses the macro th_crc_ok(), then to gain full advantage of the changes in this version, you will need to recompile your application against the new headers. Otherwise, the library is drop-in replaceable, as usual. libtar 1.2.17 - 2012/07/24 (Chris Frey) ------------- Applied Tim Band's checksum patch from mailing list (thanks!) libtar 1.2.16 - 2012/05/17 (Chris Frey) ------------- Fixed build system to allow for out-of-source tree builds libtar 1.2.15 - 2012/05/10 (Chris Frey) ------------- Chris Frey (1): Fixed harmless buffer overflow which is caught by FORTIFY on some systems libtar 1.2.14 - 2011/12/22 (Chris Frey) ------------- Chris Frey (1): Fixed truncation check, so 100 char names get GNU extension support when enabled libtar 1.2.13 - 2011/06/13 (Chris Frey) ------------- Chris Frey (10): Fixed incorrect URL in readme Added autoconf/ as macro dir Added autogen.sh script to build a fresh configure Renamed autoconf/aclocal.m4 to psg.m4 so aclocal isn't so confused Removed m4 includes, and straightened out [] m4 quoting for modern autoconfs Removed auto-generated files Added datarootdir to Makefile.in's Fixed header warnings Applied Marcin Gibula's patch fixing tar_extract_glob() Changed root Makefile.in to Makefile.am, which make autoreconf workable Glenn McGrath (1): Use libtool to build dynamic library James Morrison (1): Document stupidity of tartype_t in libtar.c. Magnus Holmgren (1): Escape hyphens that should be minus signs in man pages.

updated to autoconf-2.53 - restructured autoconf macros - added "b" to gzoflags in gzopen_frontend() for win32 compatibility (thanks to Kris Eric Warkentin for reporting this) - if O_BINARY is defined (as on win32), set that bit in oflags in tar_open() (thanks to Kris Eric Warkentin for reporting this) -
