{{{
Libarchive 3.3.1 is a feature and security release. Over 20 people
contributed fixes and improvements since 3.2.2; only a few of whom are
mentioned below. Thanks to everyone who has invested their time and effort
to make libarchive such a great piece of software.
Highlights:
• Tar format can now archive and restore NFSv4 ACLs on FreeBSD, Linux, and
macOS thanks to Martin Matuška. This is fully interoperable with star.
• Tar format can read and write SCHILY.xattr extended file attributes in
addition to the LIBARCHIVE.xattr format, thanks to Stefan Berger. This
provides compatibility with archives created by star and GNU tar.
• Jan Osusky contributed several improvements to libarchive's file
detection logic.
• Many security bugs reported by the OSS-Fuzz project have been fixed
• Ngie Cooper fixed a number of issues reported by the Coverity source
scanner.
Special thanks to the OSS-Fuzz project, who recently added libarchive to
their fuzz-test cluster for ongoing verification.
