June 1999 +-------------- + +1) FIX: {unzip} added one more criteria to make the recognition + of macbinary more save. + +2) FIX: {unzip} sometimes, archive entries without any extra field + caused problems; the default setting of the extra field + was not set back to 'unknown' properly. + +3) FIX: {zip} Archive filename with invalid characters like '/' gets + renamed. However, I do not check the complete path - needs + some more work here. + +4) FIX: {zip} Filename match was case sensitive. + +6) CHG: {zip) switch to latest source level + unzip 2.30m beta release + +7) CHG: {unzip) switch to latest source level + unzip 5.41b beta release + +8) FIX: {zip/unzip 68k only) I have found a wrong compiler setting + for the 68k version.

March 1999 +-------------- + +1) CHG: {unzip) switch to latest source level + unzip 5.41a beta release + +2) ADD: {all} Added message logging support for Syslogd + by Brian Bergstrand. Syslogd can be found at + http://www.classicalguitar.net/brian/apps/syslogd/ + This feature is 'under construction'. + +3) FIX: {all} many small fixes and code cleanups + + + + +Release MacZip ver1.03 +27. March 1999 +-------------- + +1) CHG: {console} Like Stuffit Expander MacZip quits automatically when + used with drag'n drop or as Helper App (Web-Browser). + +2) CHG: {console} Since Macintosh users are used to be guided by their + software in order not to do something stupid, I added a check + to post an extra warning if the options -m and data fork only + are both checked. + This behavior can be disabled: See Applescript example and + "maczip.env". + +3) CHG: {zip} switch from immediate deletion to moving to the + trash. Immediate deletion is now an option in "maczip.env". + +4) CHG: {zip} enhanced progress display. + +5) CHG: {zip) switch to latest source level + zip 2.3l beta release + +6) CHG: {unzip} The zip archive contains file names greater than + 31 characters. When MacZip tries to unzip the file, the + FSpCreate command fails because the filename length is to + long. MacZip correct this problem by trying to truncate + the file names to the 31 character limit. + +7) FIX: {zip/console} A couple of minor fixes + +8) CHG: {zip} Switched file-globbing to the Info-ZIP version. + + + + +Release MacZip ver1.02 +14. February 1999 +----------------- + +1) CHG: {zip} Changed the rule of file inclusion if switch '-X' + is set. Following conditions are checked: + a) if length of resource-fork is equal zero *and* the + length of data-fork is equal zero include the file. + b) if length of resource-fork greater zero *and* the + length of data-fork is equal zero don't include the file. + c) if length of data-fork greater zero include the file. + +2) CHG: {Console} Some users are very confused by the buttons "START PATH" + and "ZIP ARCHIVE". Somehow, it wasn't clear what the intended + meaning was. I changed the buttons to more clear labels on + them like: "file or folder to compress" and "location of + compressed file" + +3) CHG: {Console} I changed the menu structure to be more intuitive. + +4) FIX: {Console} Found a nasty bug which sometimes caused crashes + when the Zip / Unzip Dialogbox was used. + +5) CHG: {Console} Handling of file dialog is now a bit more restricted: + e.g: it's not possible to select a file if you have to select + a folder. + + + + +Release MacZip ver1.01 +30. January 1999 +---------------------- + +1) CHG: {console} The use of the "Current App" mechanism was clumsy + and forces the user into the Zip or Unzip modes. This kind + of modality is not so good for the command line. It's now + neccessary to enter zip or unzip to choose the action. + +2) FIX: {console} When Applescript sends quit to MacZip the script + that is running shows a spinning cursor and MacZip + does not quit. + +3) FIX: {console} MacZip gots accidentally the wrong creator code + (from BBedit) + + + + +Final Release MacZip ver1.0 +--------------------------- + +Released 21. January 1999 + + + + +9. Beta release 06.December.1998 +--------------------------------- + +1) CHG: {console} The checkbox of Filedialog (for extract path and file path) + "Show all files" is now selected by default. + +2) CHG: {unzip/standalone} changed prototypes of mac[f]printf() to return + an int number (better ANSI conformance); + +3) FIX: {unzip} repaired "stdout/stderr" mode of macwrite(). So func + MacMessagePrnt() is now obsolete and removed. + +4) ADD: {zip/unzip} Compressed Mac3 extra-fields are now supported + (Thanks to Christian Spieler) + +5) ADD: {unzip} Extraction of ZipIt archive are now supported. This support + is not complete: Filenames are correct but folder names are only + restored with the public directory names. + +6) ADD: {zip/unzip} Improved documentation. + +7) FIX: {unzip} Function isZipfile() is completely rewritten. + +8) CHG: {zip/unzip) switch to latest source level + zip 2.3i beta and unzip 5.4 final release + +9) ADD: Applescript event "do_cmd". + +Unless there are big bugs found, this release will be the last +beta release. The final release will come out in January 1999. + + + + +8. Beta release 20.November.1998 +--------------------------------- + +1) CHG: {zip/unzip) switch to latest source level + zip 2.3h beta and unzip 5.4 final release + +2) ADD: {zip} Zip finds "namelocked" files also, if switch "-S" + is set. + +3) FIX: {unzip} Function isZipfile() fails if the zip archive + has a comment. + +4) CHG: {zip} added some small speed improvements to pattern matching and + isZipFile() function. + +5) FIX: {unzip} Display of comments is fixed. + UzpMessagePrnt() is replaced by MacMessagePrnt(). I do not care + about ansi-bombs. I'm not sure, so this fix may be changed later. + +6) RMV: {unzip} Buildin More capability is removed since it's already built + into the GUI-App. + + + +7. Beta release 09.November.1998 +--------------------------------- + +1) CHG: {all} switched to Metrowerks Codewarrior Pro 4 + +2) FIX: {unzip} Display of comments stored in the zip-file is + now fixed + +3) FIX: {zip} Fixed display of the zip help-screen. + +4) CHG: {zip/unzip} Changed special dir 'Re$0urce.Fk' to 'XtraStuf.mac' + (see entry at 13.June.1998 item 3). I found it more descriptive for + users outside the mac-community. + +5) CHG: {all} switched to MoreFiles 1.4.9. + +6) CHG: {console} changed behaivor of the file open dialog: The select + button is now always enabled. + +7) ADD: {all} Environment variables are now supported. + Basically, it is possible to add timezone (= TZ environment variable) + support here, but it's not yet implemented. + See "MacZip.Env" for further info. + +8) RMV: {console} Targets "zip only" and "unzip only" are removed. + + + +6. Beta release 09.September.1998 +--------------------------------- + + +1) CHG: {Zip/Unzip} Metrowerks Standardlibrary time funktions are + rather broken and incomplete so I was forced to rewrite the + funktions: mktime(), localtime(), gmtime() and time(). + +2) ADD: {Console} Added Pause Funktion for screen output. + The Pause-Function is selfadjusting: Count of lines is depending + on the window size. + +3) CHG: Extra-Field layout is changed: All datas are now in little-endian + format (see appnote) + +4) ADD: {Console} Added an option to test the archive automatically + after zipping. This option is only via Zip-Dialogbox available + because it needs the unzip-module also. + +5) CHG: {Zip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 2.3f. + +6) ADD: {Console} Added (drag'n) drop support. Drop on the MacZip icon. + The following situations are supported: + 1. drop of one or more zipfiles (action = unzip) + each archive will be extracted in a separate folder + 2. drop of a folder (action = zip -r ) + The complete folder (inclusive sub-folders) + will be zipped + Not (yet) supported is currently: dropping more than one file + to compress. Workaround: Put all your files in one folder and + drop that folder on MacZip. + MacZip recognize zip-archives automatically. + + +5. Beta release 21.Aug.1998 +---------------------------- + + +1) ADD: {Console} Userinterface has now a Statusbar to show the + Progress. + +2) ADD: {Console} It's now possible to stop the run of Zip/Unzip + with the well known shortcut [Command] + [.] + +3) CHG: {Console} Improved user-entry routine. + +4) ADD: {Zip/Unzip} Crypt-code added. It's now possible to + encrypt/decrypt archives. + +5) RMV: {Unzip} Removed the warning of PKZip/Mac archive. + Unzip gets confused with the extra field of PKZip/Mac. So I assume + the extra field isn't compatible with Info-ZIP's definition. + +6) CHG: switched to Metrowerks Codewarrior Pro 3 + this includes: + - new Universal Interfaces 3.1 Headers + - improved codegeneration + +7) CHG: {Zip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 2.3e. + +8) CHG: {Unzip} changed function names wprintf, wgets .. to macprintf, macgets .. + to avoid naming conflict standart library. + +9) ADD: {Zip/Unzip} FXinfo, Mac-Pathname, file-dates and Finder-Comments + are now stored in the extra-field. Extra-field layout is + changed accordingly. Unzip uses now the filename stored in the + extra-field when unzipping. + +10) CHG: {Unzip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 5.33g. + +11) CHG: {Unzip} code is (again) up to date with the latest beta 5.33h. + +12) ADD: {Unzip} following switches were added: + -J [MacOS only] ignore mac extra info. All macintosh + info are not restored. Datafork and resource-fork + are restored separatly. + + -i [MacOS only] ignore filenames stored in mac extra + field. Use the most compatible filename stored in + the public field. + + -E [MacOS only] show mac extra field during restoring + +13) ADD: {Zip/Unzip} Charset MacRoman to ISO8859 Latin and vice versa + +14) RMV: {Zip} -N option removed. This MacZip crashes using this option. + I will fix it later. + + +I think I'm very close for a final release of "MacZip 1.0" :-) + + + +4. Beta release 27.June.1998 +---------------------------- + +26.June.1998 +------------ + +1) FIX: {Zip} extra field size value was wrong. + + + +25.June.1998 +------------ + +1) CHG: {Zip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 2.3d. + So both modules, zip & unzip, uses now latest beta. + +2) ADD: {Zip} added a UT extra-field for better compatibility. + +3) CHG: {Unzip} changed the code to find the mac extra-field. + Unzip has to look for a mac extra-field because + mac-archives has now two extra-fields (UT + M3). + +4) CHG: {Unzip} changed the method to move extra-field data to + the internal extra-structure. + Old method was just BlockMove of the ef_structptr to ef_memptr. + This method was dangerous because not all members of the + structure seamless aligned. There are may be some fill + bytes in the structure depending on the compiler setting. + +5) ADD: {Unzip} added a warning if unzipping a ZipIt/PKZip archive. + ZipIt/PKZip archives are usually additionally coded somehow. + InfoZip's Unzip will *not* decode the files. So extracted + files are may be not decoded. (see also 6. and 7.) + +6) ADD: ZipIt (the Shareware Tool) has now a new extra-field signature: + 0x2705. Found in "ZipIt 1.3.8". I added a new macro: EF_ZIPIT2 + +7) ADD: Added PKWare's extra-field signature: 0xCF77. + Found in "PKZIP v2.03". I added a new macro: EF_PKMAC + +8) ADD: {console} It's now possible to save all screen outputs + to the disk. + +9) RMV: {console} this is the first beta without expire-date. + + +16.June.1998 +------------ + +1) FIX: {Unzip/console} Extract path now defaults to current-dir if + no path is given. + +2> CHG: {Unzip} creates now a extract-folder by default. This behavior + differs to the commandline tool of Unzip on other platforms. + However, for a mac-user is this behavior more convenient. + + +3. Beta release 15.June.1998 +---------------------------- + +15.June.1998 +------------ + +1) CHG: {unzip/zip} I changed the layout of the extra field + to support more data. + + +14.June.1998 +------------ + +1) FIX: {Unzip} adjusted time_t value with an correct offset value. + +2) FIX: {Unzip} removed all unused code based on unfinished ideas by + former porter(s). + +3) CHG: use of shared code izshr 032. + +13.June.1998 +------------ + +1) FIX: {Unzip} Filenames are only converted when needed. When zipping + with the switch 'datafork only' the filenames are shorted which + was wrong. + +2) CHG: {Unzip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 5.33f. + +3) CHG: {Zip} Changed the naming rule of filenames from old Johnny Lee's + to my implementation. Johnny Lee's idea is based on change of the + filenames which cases several problems when unziping on a non mac + plattform. My idea is to add a special directory: 'Re$0urce.Fk'. + For the future: Zip will create archives according the new nameing + rule. However unzip will be compatible with old nameing rule. + See also 4. + +4} ADD: {Unzip} Added a new nameing rule for resource forks filename. + Resource forks are now stored in a special directory: 'Re$0urce.Fk'. + This naming rule make it easier to for other platforms to use + mac zip-files. + + + +11.June.1998 +------------ +1) FIX: {Zip} Internal file attribute is set to BINARY by default + when zipping resource forks otherwise Unzip will create + sometimes wrong resource-forks. + +2) CHG: {Unzip} code is now up to date with the latest beta 5.33e. + + + + +2. Beta release 10.June.1998 +-------------------------- + +1) FIX: {Unzip} Long pathname fix solved. Unzip is now able to extract + archives with path longer than 256 chars. + +2) CHG: {Unzip} removed all conversion from c-style string to + pascal-string (see fix 1) + +3) ADD: {Unzip} Finderinfo of folders are also restored. + +4) ADD: {Console} Added info about current path in the command-line box. + +5) FIX: {Console} Construction of the command-line of the unzip-dialog + box fixed. + + + +First beta release 06.June.1998 +----------------------------- + +no history. +Just to many code was neccessary to build the first mac-port. + + +Start of the port MacZip +February 1998 + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Legende: + +FIX: fixes a bug +CHG: inform about changed items. +ADD: added feature +RMV: removed Item + +{Unzip} -> only related to the Unzip-module +{Zip} -> only related to the Zip-module + These are just libraries and are linked into the console-app. + +{Console} -> only related to the Userinterface (not SIOUX) + MacOS has no tool like a command-line.
