4.1.2 (2012-03-03)

Changes

• Zlib library updated to 1.2.6

Bugs Fixed

• An archive was corrupted if replacing a file in the archive with a file that is locked by another process.
• Fixed the situation where removing all files in an archive with self-extract stub resulted in overwriting the stub.
• Recovery from extracting a split archive with missing parts was not possible without a callback.
• Zippie extraction problems with split archives.

4.1.1 (2011-06-27)

New Features

• Added CZipArchive::checkDecryptionVerifier to allow skipping verification of decryption control bytes to recover some invalid archives.

Changes

• CZipString in the STL version no longer derives from std::basic_string<TCHAR>, but uses the STL string as a variable. This is changed because of Visual Studio 2010 having problems with linking it (thanks to Christian Khoukaz for providing the fix).

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed a crash caused by lack of initialization when using Recycle Bin (ZipPlatform::dfmRecycleBin) for files removal.
• Fixed a crash when reading extra fields from certain corrupted archives.
• Setting a file modification time after file extraction under Windows could fail when it was locked by a file system notification hook (thanks to Dengg Helmut).
• When CZipArchive is throwing an exception related to an external file (when e.g. adding a non-existing file), it includes now this external file path information in the exception instead of the zip archive path information (thanks to Miroslav Bonchev).
• Fixed trial versions.

4.1.0 (2010-10-31)

New Features

• Added project files for Visual Studio 2010. These are now default project files for the ZipArchive Library.
• Added the possibility to controls overwriting of files during extraction in the CZipArchive::ExtractFile(ZIP_INDEX_TYPE, LPCTSTR) method.
• Added CZipAbstractFile::HasFilePath() method to allow properly using custom file implementations that have no physical paths. That includes using abstract files with the CZipArchive::OpenFrom() method.
• Added the CZipArchive::GetLastIndexAdded() method.
• Very long paths support under Windows is now automatic. There is no need to prefix paths with \\?\ when extracting.

Changes

• Zlib library updated to 1.2.5
• bzip2 library updated to 1.0.6
• Leading path separators are removed from filenames stored in archives.
• When a trailing path separator is added to a file name, this file will be added as a folder.
• File names with trailing path separators in archive and with size 0 are always treated as folders.
• Removed the CZipArchive::SetExhaustiveRead method. Use the CZipArchive::SetSpecialFlags() method instead.
• Removed the CZipArchive::GetExhaustiveRead method. Use the CZipArchive::GetSpecialFlags() method instead.
• The CZipMemFile class derives now from CFile in MFC compilation (but not under Visual Studio 6.0 with _ZIP_FILE_IMPLEMENTATION set to ZIP_ZFI_WIN).

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed attributes conversion from NTFS system to others.
• When a hidden file was compressed under Windows it received no read permissions when extracted under Linux/OS X. Now it has read permissions for the user.
• When using CZipArchive::umExtra unicode characters were not correctly preserved under some conditions.
• When renaming a file or a directory, problems could occur when FindFast was enabled.
• Fixed a problem when removing files in large archives using Visual Studio 6.0 (thanks to Alexandr Novy).
• Fixed a problem with AES encryption under x64.

• CZipFile::Seek() in the STL version didn't seek on files larger than 2GB when Zip64 was disabled.
• Opening an archive that was not a split archive, was throwing exception when closing an archive even if the iAfterException parameter was set to CZipArchive::afAfterException (thanks to Dragan Milic for reporting it).
• Opening a binary split archive could throw an exception sometimes (thanks to Dragan Milic for the fix).
• Extracting a binary split archive could throw exception with some archives (thanks to Dragan Milic for reporting it).
• Fixed run-time check failure under Visual Studio (a cast to a smaller data type has caused a loss of data) - thanks to James Grocholl for the fix.
• Fixed custom Unicode compilation issues in the Open Source version (thanks to Ralph Valeriote for reporting it).

4.0.0 (2009-03-24)

• The following methods and fields were renamed:
  • CZipArchive::Flush() renamed to CZipArchive::Finalize().
  • CZipArchive::SetAutoFlush() renamed to CZipArchive::SetAutoFinalize().
  • CZipArchive::GetAutoFlush() renamed to CZipArchive::GetAutoFinalize().

• When using CZipArchive::SetGlobalComment(), a file inside of archive cannot be opened for compression or extraction.
• To use custom Unicode support in the ZipArchive Library, you need to define now _ZIP_UNICODE_CUSTOM (see Unicode Support: Using Non-English Characters in Filenames, Comments and Passwords for more information).
• When using custom Unicode, CZipStringStoreSettings::m_uCommentCodePage is only used to set a file comment page, not global comment code page. Use the CZipArchive::SetGlobalComment() method instead.
• During modifications, the ZipArchive Library now checks, if the archive can be modified.
• The CZipActionCallback::cbModify does not provide an archive name in the CZipActionCallback::Init() method, because multiple files can be renamed now at once.
