===================== == NuLib ChangeLog == ===================== NuLib v3.25 beta 3 (27 November 1996, Devin Reade ) - Split off modification list into the "ChangeLog" file. - Updated Andy's email address. - Fixed an assert in nushk.c that was failing (unnecessarily) when extracting LZW-II files. - Eliminated "comparison always true" warning in nusq.c - Replaced gets() with fgets() in nuext.c [potential buffer overflow] - Changed (again) the nudefs.h #elif for NetBSD/FreeBSD/BSDI systems. - Updated man page, coalesced and cleaned up the documentation. - Got the Orca/Shell version compiling. fdopen(3) needs to be written. - Some more GNO-specific changes. - Added stack checking under Orca/C. - Did a function rename from Quit-->QuitNulib to avoid name conflicts under Orca/C. NuLib v3.25 beta 2 (18 October 1996, Devin Reade ) - Added support for FreeBSD/NetBSD with gcc v1.42 - Added man page. - Added "make file" for compiling under an unenhanced Orca/Shell (The Orca/Shell port is not yet done.) - The GNO port is running, abeit without Orca/Shell style command line expansion. (Not yet done.) NuLib v3.25 beta 1 (September 1996, Devin Reade ) - Fixed a bug that was causing nulib to dump core: There was a hardcoded limit of 256 files on the command line. Unfortunately, this limit was also applied as the maximum number of files in the archive. Worse yet, there was a section (where one is recursing through subdirs) where the current file count is _not_ checked against the maximum. The result was an array bound being overwritten and a subsequent core dump (or crash on systems without an MMU). This hard limit has been removed; instead, the file count is allowed to grow dynamically. - Fixed some bugs where printf had missing args. - Eliminated some extraneous static variables. (Declared static in a header file, but not used in some files.) - Changed the way the load segment is specified when compiling on the IIgs. Also changed all segment names to be 10 characters long. - #ifdef'd out various unused variables. - Unnested various comments. - ANSIfied the files. They still compile with a non-ANSI compiler, provided that compiler doesn't define __STDC__. - Changed nudefs.h so that, as much as possible, the appropriate #defines are made automagically. - Usage and help screens now only print out the base file name, not the full one. - Added a describe(1) entry and an rversion resource. - Verified compilation for the following systems. This _may_ have broken compilations for some older systems: AIX 3.2.5 with cc v2, xlc v2, and gcc v2.7.2 AIX 4.1 with cc v2, xlc v2, and gcc v2.7.2 HAL Sparc-64 OS with hcc v1.0 and gcc v2.7.2 HPUX with cc v10.10 and gcc v2.7.2 Linux with gcc v2.6.3 and lcc v3.4b Solaris 2.4 with SunPro C v4.0 and gcc v2.7.2 Solaris 2.5.1 with SunPro C v4.0 and gcc v2.7.2 SunOS 4.3 with /usr/5bin/cc and gcc v2.7.2 NuLib v3.24 (January 1993) - Improved MS-DOS filename fixing (now enforce "8 chars '.' 3 chars") - Fixed bug in LZW decompressor NuLib v3.23 (December 1992) - Minor bug fixes for the MS-DOS version (Dale G. Shields) NuLib v3.22 (September 1992) - Added "compress file as if it were a disk" code (provided by somebody whose name I just lost). Seems to work, but it's not 100% tested. - Faster compression - Updated filetype abbreviations NuLib v3.21 - Minor fixes NuLib v3.2 (April 1992) - Lots of minor bug fixes. (I was getting lost in the version numbers so I just upped it to 3.2). Of importance are the bug fixes to the LZW-II decoder and making it compatible with SysV EFT (Expanded Fundamental Types). The latter includes stuff like eight byte file offsets on lseeks. NuLib v3.14 (November 1991) - Finished fixing NeXT probs. Really. (Chris Osborn w/push from Bruce Kahn) - Fixed some minor bugs (Larry W. Virden) NuLib v3.13 - Repaired XENIX directory stuff in "nuadd.c" (Morgan Davis) NuLib v3.12 - Fixed problem with table clears on non-LZW blocks (Frank Petroski) NuLib v3.11 - Added some stuff to make the NeXT happy (Chris Osborn) - Added some stuff to allow it to compile with MS C 6.0. NuLib v3.1 (October 1991) - GS/ShrinkIt LZW-II uncompression (finally!) - All ShrinkIt compression/uncompression routines are about 15% faster - Better compatibility with System V, especially the AT&T 3B2 - Cleaned up code a bit and fixed minor bugs. Nulib v3.03 (February 1991) - Fixed XENIX problems with includes and libs (Ron Higgins). - Fixed bug in directory expansion (Larry W. Virden). NuLib v3.02 - Silenced screaming about bad dates (Larry W. Virden). - Fixed glitches in nulib.lnk and nulib.mak (Bruce Kahn). NuLib v3.01 - Fixed non-compression bug in ShrinkIt LZW (Scott Blackman). NuLib v3.0 (September 1990) - Added ShrinkIt LZW-I compression (replaces "fake" compression used previously). - Added UNIX 12-bit and 16-bit compression. - New archive listing format (similar to ARC and ZOO). - Added "compress" parameter to NULIBOPT environment variable. - Added M suboption for comment ("message") printing. NuLib v2.3 (May 1990 - not released): - Addition of UNIX compress. - Threw in some benchmarks. NuLib v2.2 - v2.22 (Apr 1990): - Second release as NuLib (after a brief vacation). - Fixed incompatibility problems with GS/ShrinkIt and ShrinkIt v3.0. - Added some support for comments. - Unpacks disk archives to files (good for the UNIX Apple ][+ simulator). - Fake compression correctly handles files that don't compress (it used to store them as compressed whether or not they got smaller). - Various minor changes/improvements (more help screens, etc). NuLib v2.1.1 (Nov 1989): - First wide distribution as NuLib. - Fixed command processing bugs. NuLib v2.1 (Nov 1989): - Yet another name change (thanks loads, L&L). - ShrinkIt LZW uncompression added. - MS-DOS code added. - Shell variable used for defaults. - CRLF translation. - Added R, I, and F suboptions. CShrink v2.08 (Oct 1989): - Altered help screens, some commands. - Added recognition of other kinds of files (compressed, shar, etc). - Switched to table lookups for calculating CRC (much faster). CShrink v2.07 (Sep 1989): - Another name change (legal reasons). - UNIX port completed. - Binary II operations are fully functional. - Some compression code added (unSQueeze, fake ShrinkIt pack). - '+' suboption added. - Text translation improved. - Printing of archived files (P option) now works. NuARC v2.03 (Aug 1989): - First NuARC distribution (APW executable only). - Added subdirectory expansion. - Added suboption processing. - Replaced buffered I/O (fopen(), fread(), etc) on files with lower-level read()/write() routines. - Added automatic byte-order determination. - Implemented move, extract all, and update/freshen. - Added Print archived file option. - Added Verbose, Text translation, and Uncompressed storage suboptions. - Wrote this documentation. NuARC v2.0 (Aug 1989): - Added archive manipulation routines (EXtract, Add and Delete for uncompressed archived files). - Added filename-only output format. - Added CRC verification. - Added byte order and data element size checks. - Removed the LAMESEEK option. NuView v1.2 (July 1989): - Major overhaul of all source code to make it work under APW C. - New //gs-specific routines added. - Minor alterations to output format. NuView v1.1 (June 1989): - Major rewrite of the way archives are read (had problems with machines requiring word-alignment of data). - Added thread file position storage to internal archive structure. - Fixed non-(void) sprintf() bug. NuView v1.0 (May 1989): - Initial release. - Works only on a Sun 3/50 running BSD UNIX.
