- Release notes for LhA V1.22
-
- Copyright © 1991,92 By Stefan Boberg

- Released 02-Apr-92
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- Sigh, I hate it when this happens. LhA V1.20 had a dangerous bug in the
- compression code. It also had some other problems.
-
- This is the evaluation version of LhA V1.22. There are several new
- things in this release compared to V1.11, and only the largest changes
- will be outlined here. Please refer to the `Update.txt' file for detailed
- info about the changes.
-
- Among the changes are:
-
- o The ability to list and extract/test files from multi-volume archives.
- The evaluation version of LhA cannot create or update multi-volume
- archives however. You can create multivolume archives from normal
- archives by using the programs in the `unixutil' directory. Portable
- source and Amiga executables are included.
-
- o You can now test, add files to and extract files from SFX archives
- created by LhASFX.
-
- o Compression is faster (about 10% in the evaluation version, 50% in
- the registered).
-
- o Several new options have been added.
-
- o Several important bugfixes.
-
- o 100% UNIX LHa compatibility.
-
- o Much improved command line parsing
-
- o Support for local and global environment variables.
-
- o Archiving of empty subdirectories.
-
- o ARP dependency removed. Under KS2.0 LhA uses dos.library functions
- only for pattern matching. Under KS1.3 LhA uses arp.library if
- present, and it's own internal functions if not. The internal
- pattern matching routines only handles `*' and `?' wildcards.
