  1. v0.3.1 (2016-03-29):
  2. * This release fixes an integer underflow vulnerability in the
  3. code for doing LZH level 3 header decodes (TALOS-CAN-0095).
  4. Thanks go to Marcin Noga and Regina Wilson of Cisco TALOS for
  5. reporting this vulnerability.
  6. v0.3.0 (2015-04-20):
  7. * PMarc -pm1- archives that contain truncated compressed data (the
  8. decompressed length is longer than what can be read from the
  9. compressed data) now decompress as intended. Certain archives
  10. in the wild make the assumption that this can be done.
  11. * LArc -lz5- archives that make use of the initial history buffer
  12. now decompress correctly.
  13. * The tests no longer use predictable temporary paths (thanks Jon
  14. Dowland).
  15. * Tests were fixed under OS X.
  16. v0.2.0 (2013-08-04):
  17. * Decompression of archives using the -lhx- file format supported by
  18. unlha32.dll is now supported (thanks Multi for the patch).
  19. * The -p (print to stdout) command line option is now supported.
  20. * The test suite should now run correctly on Windows.
  21. Bugs fixed:
  22. * Bug where archives read from pipes (eg. stdin) were not extracted
  23. beyond the first file in the archive.
  24. * Output when using the -w (extract directory) option now correctly
  25. matches the output of Unix lha.
  26. v0.1.0 (2013-03-16):
  27. * There are now test archives for OS-9 and OS-9/68k (OSK) and a
  28. workaround for a bug in the OSK lha tool on this platform. OSK level
  29. 0 extended areas are also supported.
  30. * Extracted files are now written using O_EXCL, which prevents
  31. malicious symbolic links being used to redirect output.
  32. * Directory paths containing '..' as a directory name are now
  33. sanitized, to prevent malicious archives being able to overwrite
  34. arbitrary files on the filesystem.
  35. * Symbolic links are now extracted in a safer way, being created as
  36. dummy files that are overwritten with proper symbolic links at the
  37. end of extraction. This is the same behavior used by GNU tar to
  38. prevent malicious use of symbolic links.
  39. * Automake 1.13 is now properly supported (thanks Jan Engelhardt).
  40. Processing of archives read from IPC pipes (including stdin) has
  41. been fixed.
  42. v0.0.7 (2012-06-02):
  43. * Extraction and listing of Unix symbolic links is now supported.
  44. * Decompression code for the "old" PMarc archive algorithm (-pm1-) has
  45. been added.
  46. * Support has been added for Unix LHA level 0 header extended areas
  47. (so level 0 archives with Unix metadata are now listed and extracted
  48. correctly).
  49. * The Unix permissions field in the list output for directory entries
  50. has been fixed.
  51. * The library header files have been fixed so that they can be included
  52. in C++ code.
  53. * The LHADecoder interface, for extracting raw compressed data, has been
  54. added to the public header files.
  55. * The Unix LHA test archives have been regenerated and improved.
  56. * A "ghost testing" tool has been added for testing ghost compression
  57. algorithms such as -pm1-.
  58. * The list output tests have been fixed to be repeatable regardless of
  59. the current date.
  60. * Build of the fuzzer tool has been fixed.
  61. v0.0.6 (2012-05-17):
  62. * When the -w option is used during extraction, the path specified
  63. is now first created if it does not already exist.
  64. * The command line tool now exits with a failure return code if an
  65. error occurs during extraction.
  66. * A "catch-all" header file (lhasa.h) has been added.
  67. * The public header files installed with the library can now be
  68. included and used externally.
  69. * A pkgconfig file is now installed as part of the library
  70. (thanks Jan Engelhardt).
  71. * Make targets have been added for building Doxygen documentation
  72. and including them as part of the distribution.
  73. v0.0.5 (2012-05-08):
  74. * Architecture-specific functions for running on Windows have now been
  75. fully implemented, and the command line tool passes all tests in the
  76. test suite on Windows (thanks roytam1 for bug reports).
  77. * Bug fixed where the command line tool would enter an infinite loop
  78. when extracting a truncated archive (thanks Jon Dowland).
  79. * Support added for archives with level 0 headers and Unix path
  80. separators (thanks roytam1).
  81. * The test suite now runs correctly outside of the Europe/London time
  82. zone (thanks Thomas Klausner).
  83. * A .spec file is now included for building rpm packages.
  84. v0.0.4 (2012-05-01):
  85. * Special handling is now included for MacBinary headers generated
  86. by MacLHA.
  87. * The -w command line option was broken; it has been fixed.
  88. * A bug has been fixed where the timestamp and other metadata was
  89. not set properly for extracted directories.
  90. * Failures to set the UID/GID of extracted files are now ignored,
  91. rather than being treated as a fatal error.
  92. * Self-extracting archive files with long headers (up to 64KiB)
  93. are now supported. This fixes the handling with some Windows
  94. archives.
  95. * A Unix manpage has been added.
  96. * It is now possible to extract an archive from stdin, by using '-'
  97. as the filename.
  98. * The shorthand command line syntax "lha foo.lzh" to list an archive
  99. is now supported.
  100. * A bug with the wildcard pattern matching code has been fixed.
  101. * Proper regression tests have now been added for command line
  102. archive extraction.
  103. * A set of archives generated by LHmelt (Windows) have been added to
  104. the test suite.
  105. * The regression tests for testing file header parsing and CRC checks
  106. have been rewritten.
  107. v0.0.3 (2012-04-22):
  108. Third beta release.
  109. * A fix has been added for a bug where missing parent directories
  110. were not being created properly.
  111. * Regression testing archives have been added from MacLHA v2.24.
  112. * In order to support MacLHA archives, code has been added that
  113. heuristically detects the MacBinary headers added by MacLHA
  114. and strips them off.
  115. v0.0.2 (2012-04-17):
  116. Second beta release.
  117. * This version adds support for level 2 and 3 file headers. Lhasa
  118. should now be capable of decompressing most, if not all archives
  119. found in the wild.
  120. * A fuzz testing framework has been added for testing the
  121. decompression code. A couple of bugs have been fixed as a result
  122. of this.
  123. v0.0.1 (2012-04-06):
  124. Initial version. This should be considered beta code, although this
  125. first version should already be capable of extracting the majority of
  126. archive files found in the wild. The main missing features are:
  127. * Lack of support for level 2 and 3 file headers.
  128. * Inability to create archives (only extract them).
  129. These are features that I aim to add in future releases. Other future
  130. features can be found in the TODO file.
