This is a beta +release, but is more or less complete and is considered a release +candidate. See the file WhatsNew for a list of major features +implemented and what's left. + +The archive reading and writing code in Zip 3.0 has been redone to +support split archives. We've extensively tested the code over the +last year, but you should thoroughly test it yourself before relying +on it. Also note that Unicode support has been added and should comply +with the latest AppNote, but is still new and so may need refining. + +Please test this beta and let us know if we're ready to officially +release Zip 3.0. + +New things in Zip 3.0g +- Add split support to VB project for Zip64. + +- Disable reading of Unix FIFOs unless new -FI option used to avoid an + archiving operation stopping when it hits an active unfed FIFO. + +- The [list] wildcard expression (regular expression matching of any + character or range of characters in list) is now disabled on DOS and + Windows as it has caused confusion when filenames have [ and ] in + them. The new -RE option reenables it. + +- Add negation to many display options such as -dc and -db. + +- Allow -FF to read and fix archives having local entries that appear + after central directory entries. + +- Many small bug fixes. |
