-
- 2) CHG: {unzip/standalone} changed prototypes of mac[f]printf() to return

- (Thanks to Christian Spieler)

-
-
-
-
- 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.
-

- isZipFile() function.
-
- 5) FIX: {unzip} Display of comments are fixed.
- UzpMessagePrnt() is replaced by MacMessagePrnt(). I do not care
- about ansi-bombs. I'm not sure, so this fix may be change later.
-
- 6) RMV: {unzip} Buildin More capability is removed since it's already build
- 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

- 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. So it's neccessary
- to write wrapper around the command-line tools.
