UnZip, version 5.52, 28 February 2005
Features added (or removed):
5.52a (10 Dec 04):
- no new features
5.52b (30 Dec 04):
- no new features
5.52c (8 Jan 05):
- no new features
5.52d (17 Jan 05):
- VMS: Faster I/O, both reading the archive and creating extracted data
files. Disk paralysis during file allocation, when highwater marking
is enabled on the destination device, is gone. [Steven Schweda (SMS)]
- VMS: Where the C RTL permits, with SET PROCESS /PARSE = EXTENDED,
command-line case is preserved, obviating quotation of upper- or
mixed-case options and parameters. [SMS]
5.52e (23 Jan 05):
- i386 ASM_CRC code crc_i386.S, win32/crc_i386.asm, win32/crc_i386.c:
enabled optimization for i686 by default, as pre-686 CPUs are no longer
widely used nowadays. (win32/crc_lcc.asm was already i686-optimized)
[Cosmin Truta (CT)]
- INSTALL, unzpriv.h: unshrinking is now enabled by default [CT]
- AtheOS/BeOS/Unix: do not restore SUID/SGID/Tacky bits per default; added
new security override option "-K" for backward compatibility, updated
unzip.1 man page [Johnny Lee, EG]
5.52f (27 Jan 05):
- unzpriv.h, list.c, zipinfo.c: added recognition of additional hosts and
compression methods according to latest PKWARE appnote specs [SPC]
- AtheOS/Syllable: new port, kindly contributed by Nikolaev Ruslan [SPC]

Bugs fixed:
5.52a (10 Dec 04):
- Debian patch 001 - change __GNU__ to __GLIBC__ in unix/unxcfg.h. This is
required to build under glibc-based systems not being Linux-based (like
the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD port, which is in preparation). In fact,
everywhere the macro __GNU__ is used, __GLIBC__ should be used instead.
It could be made even shorter since defined(linux) || defined(__GLIBC__)
should be the same as simply defined(__GLIBC__).
- fileio.c - open_input_file(): added trailing newline to error message
[Debian patch 002, Santiago Vila]
5.52b (30 Dec 04):
- README: added short note about purpose of release 5.52 [Ed Gordon]
- format fixes [Ed Gordon]
5.52c (8 Jan 05):
- minor fixes [Ed Gordon]
5.52d (17 Jan 05):
- On VMS, when an odd output byte count is incremented to the next
larger even value, the extra byte written is now always zero,
reducing random differences between original and extracted files. [SMS]
- On VMS, "cannot find either fred;1 or fred;1.zip." messages have been
changed to show only non-fictional file names. [SMS]
5.52e (23 Jan 05):
- win32/vc6/unzip.dsw (new): replaced win32/VC6.dsp with a complete
Visual C++ 6.0 project to build unzip, funzip and unzipsfx, with both
ASM and non-ASM settings [CT]
- win32: MSC project files now preserve Win32 CRLF line ends [CT]
- win32/crc_i386.c: compile only if ASM_CRC is defined [CT]
- changed strcasecmp to strncasecmp in vms/vmszip.c [SMS]
5.52f (27 Jan 05):
- win32: for UnZip 5.5x, our tradition "distribute all text files with LF line
endings" remains in effect, MSC project files are plain text and get
distributed in UNIX LF-only format [SPC]
- windll/windll.rc: updated copyright year [SPC]
- proginfo/extra.fld: synchronized with current appnote.iz (and PKWARE's
appnote.txt v6.2 as of 2004-04-26) [SPC]
- win32/makefile.lcc: adapted to current lcc-win32 release [SPC]
- windll/uzexampl.c: fixed some function definition mismatches (previously
there were different but compatible param types used) [SPC]
- extract.c: fixed ucsize/csize mismatch test introduced in UnZip 5.51 and
corrected a follow-up extraction size bug (12 excess bytes written) for
encrypted stored entries [SPC]
- MacOS, OS2 - fixed security holes: formatted output (?printf) should not
use unchecked strings as format specifiers [Ulf Harnhammar]
- man/unzip.1, man/zipinfo.1: added explicit note on how to supply a
left bracket in a filename argument; clarified the scope of the -C option;
documented the different compressed size calculation modes for encrypted
entries in UnZip's and ZipInfo's listing output [Greg Roelofs, SPC]
- list.c, zipinfo.c: fixed ancient bug: when specifying only an exclude list,
all not-excluded zip archive entries should be listed [SPC]
- extract.c, unzpriv.h, w32.cfg, wce.cfg: added Cdecl modifier to the qsort
comparison function (allows use of stdcall mode in SFXWiz project) [SPC]
- extract.c, unzpriv.h: use LONGINT consistently for >>all<< zipfile offset
variables and adapt some type casts (allow handling of 4G archives on
systems that support 64bit file offsets) [Paul Slootman]
- renamed LONGINT into Z_OFF_T for better "in-code-documentation" [SPC]
- unzpriv.h, NEXTBYTE macro modified to allow compatibility with unsigned
bufsize counter incnt [Steven M. Schweda]
- unix/unxcfg.h: corrected Debian patch #1 by re-adding __GNU__ conditionals
where they appeared before [SPC]
- unzip.h, win32/decs.h, win32/struct.h: encapsulated declarations as
extern "C" for C++ compilation mode [SPC]
- Win32 port: integrated deferred NTSD handling for directories in the
generic dir attributes setting functionality [SPC]
- Win32: synchronized new MSVC6 project files with master Makefile (removed
unused modules and link libs, SFX opt for size, enable DBCS) [SPC]
- BeOS: synchronized code with Unix port to support reentrancy [SPC]
- All but TOPS20, VMS, WinCE: added length check to externally
supplied argument in do_wild() [SPC]

was accidentally left out in 5.52f [SMS, SPC]

of read-only dirs" bug [Cosmin Truta]
- win32/win32.c - NTQueryVolInfo(): fixed typecast warning [Cosmin Truta]
- unzpriv.h, unix/Makefile, win32/Makefile.gcc: changed build policy for
POSIX-emulating gcc distributions on Win32 (e.g. CygWin) to default to
creating POSIX-mode binaries; win32/Makefile.gcc may be used to build
win32-aware binaries (added -DFORCE_WIN32_OVER_UNIX to default compilation
options) [Cosmin Truta, SPC]
- INSTALL, History.552: stylistic text corrections [Cosmin Truta]
- win32/win32.c: complete revision of timestamp handling code; added prepro-
cessor flag NO_W32TIMES_IZFIX to allow optional compile with time handling

flags nfflag, ExtractOnlyNewer, noflag, PromptToOverwrite and their
interactions [SPC]
