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.

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.
