- HISTORY OF REVISIONS, after optimized with Assembler.
- -------------------------
-
- ver.2.02a
- The first version of LH-series with some routines in machine code. LH
- starts to check its authenticity from this version on.
-
- 90/11/18
- ver.2.02b
- Made public appearance in the accompanying disk of C-Magazine LH
- changed the routine to suppress extra ^M, when LH makes an output with
- DOS redirection.
- 90/11/21
- ver.2.02c
- Bug fixed for checking disk full when LH is archiving. Made 'x' com-
- mand equivalent to 'e' command with option /x1m1.
-
- 90/12/03
- ver.2.02d
- LH breaks off immediately after the first hit of ^C. Dearchiving
- routine of '*.lzs' files is made straight. LH changed attribute with
- option /a0. A serious bug for 'f' command bug is fixed.
-
- 90/12/25
- ver.2.02e
- Compress routine is fixed so that LH prevents panic even in case when
- some of the information is not present. Stack size is changed to the
- default value of LSIC compiler.
- 90/12/27
- ver.2.02f
- A bug fixed when LH cannot compress some corrupt files.
-
- ver.2.03
- New SFX routine was added from this version on.
- 91/01/03
-
- ver.2.03a
- Some improvement in SFX header size, with some bugs fixed.
-
- 91/01/04
- ver.2.04
- LH displays the state of action. An additional information switch /l
- is designed. Responce file name begins with '@'. LH recognizes '@' as
- a part of file name. LH now never removes temporary working file when
- LH cannot execute the entire process. LH had a bug to erase them on
- some occasion. Temporary file names are now 'LHTMP)1(.LZH' and
- 'LHTMP)2(.LZH'. Bug, LH exits when it reads header of level 2, is
- fixed. When LH prints more than one file with 'p', some confusion
- existed. This bug is fixedd. New routine was devised to compute the
- room left with DOS version 2.xx.. Buffer was extended so that the
- number of disk accesses is decreased.
- 91/01/18
- ver.2.04a
- A bug in the display with /o option is fixed. A bug in CRC check right
- after the test authenticity, is fixed. A new improvement in the speed
- of compression.
- 91/01/20
- ver.2.05
- Changed the name of the program as LHA. Some bug fixed in compression
- process. A bug in memory management with 4KB dictionary is fixed.
- LHA now double-checks the end of archive. A new checking routine is
- deviced to know the end of compression with corrupt files. New '/@'
- option is added. English version is released.
- 91/01/27
- ver.205a
- Environmental variable is correctly set to be LHA from LH. Bug when
- some null code is appended after the archive end, is removed. For
- 'u','m' commands, 'Skipped' file warnings are displayed explicitly.
- Time stamp now prepared up to 2038 A.D. Not prepared for non-existent
- time stamp like 200-13-42, naturally. Changed /@ switch to /- for
- there are softwares using @ often. /a option for attributes when
- dearchiving is corrected. Check the free space for new archive to be
- possibly made. When there are no files to be archived, LHA will exit
- with:
- ERRORLEVEL=2.
-
- When some of the file name is not actually used, LHA warns against the
- filename, with ERRORLEVEL=1. New bug fixed for 'a' command.
-
- 91/02/06
- ver.2.05b
- SFX routine had a minor bug.
-
- ver 2.06
- You can delete files from executable SFX.exe while preserving SFX
- facility. LHA accepts file names like file.tar.Z with more than two
- 'periods' inside file name. Display routine for 'u' and 'm' fixed.
- There were files on which LHA hangs without compressing. LHA some-
- times fails to check 'disk full' and caused FAT allocation error.
- These bugs were fixed.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ver.2.10
- The first public release.
-
- In some cases, even with /i0 switch, path names in under_score were
- recorded. This bug was fixed. In SFX routine, /m1 switch could not
- shut up asking [Y/N]. With 't' commands, LHA checks for the bytes
- padded before the files with extension LZH. You can now specify
- extensions for the files to be archived with no compression with '/
- z'-switch, to distinguish the original and the one which is archived.
