+
+Release MacZip ver1.04 beta 2
+02. June 1999
+--------------
+
+1) FIX: {unzip} added one more criteria to make the recognition
+ of macbinary more save.
+
+2) FIX: {unzip} sometimes, archive entries without any extra field
+ caused problems; the default setting of the extra field
+ was not set back to 'unknown' properly.
+
+3) FIX: {zip} Archive filename with invalid characters like '/' gets
+ renamed. However, I do not check the complete path - needs
+ some more work here.
+
+4) FIX: {zip} Filename match was case sensitive.

+7) CHG: {unzip} switch to latest source level
+ unzip 5.41b beta release

+ version crashed.
+
+
+
+
+Release MacZip ver1.04 beta 1
+30. March 1999
+--------------
+
+1) CHG: {unzip) switch to latest source level
+ unzip 5.41a beta release
+
+2) ADD: {all} Added message logging support for Syslogd
+ by Brian Bergstrand. Syslogd can be found at
+ http://www.classicalguitar.net/brian/apps/syslogd/
+ This feature is 'under construction'.
+
+3) FIX: {all} many small fixes and code cleanups
+
+
+
+
+Release MacZip ver1.03
+27. March 1999
+--------------
+
+1) CHG: {console} Like Stuffit Expander MacZip quits automatically when
+ used with drag'n drop or as Helper App (Web-Browser).
+
+2) CHG: {console} Since Macintosh users are used to be guided by their
+ software in order not to do something stupid, I added a check
+ to post an extra warning if the options -m and data fork only
+ are both checked.
+ This behavior can be disabled: See Applescript example and
+ "maczip.env".
+
+3) CHG: {zip} switch from immediate deletion to moving to the
+ trash. Immediate deletion is now an option in "maczip.env".
+
+4) CHG: {zip} enhanced progress display.
+
+5) CHG: {zip) switch to latest source level
+ zip 2.3l beta release
+
+6) CHG: {unzip} The zip archive contains file names greater than
+ 31 characters. When MacZip tries to unzip the file, the
+ FSpCreate command fails because the filename length is to
+ long. MacZip correct this problem by trying to truncate
+ the file names to the 31 character limit.
+
+7) FIX: {zip/console} A couple of minor fixes
+
+8) CHG: {zip} Switched file-globbing to the Info-ZIP version.
+
+
+
+
+Release MacZip ver1.02
+14. February 1999
+-----------------
+
+1) CHG: {zip} Changed the rule of file inclusion if switch '-X'
+ is set. Following conditions are checked:
+ a) if length of resource-fork is equal zero *and* the
+ length of data-fork is equal zero include the file.
+ b) if length of resource-fork greater zero *and* the
+ length of data-fork is equal zero don't include the file.
+ c) if length of data-fork greater zero include the file.
+
+2) CHG: {Console} Some users are very confused by the buttons "START PATH"
+ and "ZIP ARCHIVE". Somehow, it wasn't clear what the intended
+ meaning was. I changed the buttons to more clear labels on
+ them like: "file or folder to compress" and "location of
+ compressed file"
+
+3) CHG: {Console} I changed the menu structure to be more intuitive.
+
+4) FIX: {Console} Found a nasty bug which sometimes caused crashes
+ when the Zip / Unzip Dialogbox was used.
+
+5) CHG: {Console} Handling of file dialog is now a bit more restricted:
+ e.g: it's not possible to select a file if you have to select
+ a folder.
+
+
+
+
+Release MacZip ver1.01
+30. January 1999
+----------------------
+
+1) CHG: {console} The use of the "Current App" mechanism was clumsy
+ and forces the user into the Zip or Unzip modes. This kind
+ of modality is not so good for the command line. It's now
+ neccessary to enter zip or unzip to choose the action.
+
+2) FIX: {console} When Applescript sends quit to MacZip the script
+ that is running shows a spinning cursor and MacZip
+ does not quit.
+
+3) FIX: {console} MacZip gots accidentally the wrong creator code
+ (from BBedit)
+
+
+
+
+Final Release MacZip ver1.0
+---------------------------
+
+Released 21. January 1999
+
+
+
+
+9. Beta release 06.December.1998
+---------------------------------
+
+1) CHG: {console} The checkbox of Filedialog (for extract path and file path)
+ "Show all files" is now selected by default.
+
+2) CHG: {unzip/standalone} changed prototypes of mac[f]printf() to return
+ an int number (better ANSI conformance);
+
+3) FIX: {unzip} repaired "stdout/stderr" mode of macwrite(). So func
+ MacMessagePrnt() is now obsolete and removed.
+
+4) ADD: {zip/unzip} Compressed Mac3 extra-fields are now supported
+ (Thanks to Christian Spieler)
+
+5) ADD: {unzip} Extraction of ZipIt archive are now supported. This support
+ is not complete: Filenames are correct but folder names are only
+ restored with the public directory names.
+
+6) ADD: {zip/unzip} Improved documentation.
+
+7) FIX: {unzip} Function isZipfile() is completely rewritten.
+
+8) CHG: {zip/unzip) switch to latest source level
+ zip 2.3i beta and unzip 5.4 final release
+
+9) ADD: Applescript event "do_cmd".
+
+Unless there are big bugs found, this release will be the last
+beta release. The final release will come out in January 1999.
+
+
+
+
+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.
+
+4) CHG: {zip} added some small speed improvements to pattern matching and
+ isZipFile() function.
+
+5) FIX: {unzip} Display of comments is fixed.
+ UzpMessagePrnt() is replaced by MacMessagePrnt(). I do not care
+ about ansi-bombs. I'm not sure, so this fix may be changed later.
+
+6) RMV: {unzip} Buildin More capability is removed since it's already built
+ 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
+ button is now always enabled.
+
+7) ADD: {all} Environment variables are now supported.
+ Basically, it is possible to add timezone (= TZ environment variable)
+ 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.
