The Apache Commons Compress team is pleased to announce the commons-compress-1.2 release!
The Apache Commons Compress Library defines a Java API for working with ar, cpio, tar, zip, gzip and bzip2 files. Version 1.2 is a bug fix release and the last release expected to be compatible with Java 1.4. Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache Commons download site: http://commons.apache.org/compress/download_compress.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location when downloading the release. Changes in this version include: New features: o COMPRESS-123: ZipArchiveEntry has a new method getRawName that provides the original bytes that made up the name. This may allow user code to detect the encoding. o COMPRESS-122: TarArchiveEntry provides access to the flags that determine whether it is an archived symbolic link, pipe or other "uncommon" file system object. Fixed Bugs: o COMPRESS-129: ZipArchiveInputStream could fail with a "Truncated ZIP" error message for entries between 2 GByte and 4 GByte in size. o COMPRESS-145: TarArchiveInputStream now detects sparse entries using the oldgnu format and properly reports it cannot extract their contents. o COMPRESS-130: The Javadoc for ZipArchiveInputStream#skip now matches the implementation, the code has been made more defensive. o COMPRESS-140: ArArchiveInputStream fails if entries contain only blanks for userId or groupId. Thanks to Trejkaz. o COMPRESS-139: ZipFile may leak resources on some JDKs. o COMPRESS-125: BZip2CompressorInputStream throws IOException if underlying stream returns available() == 0. Removed the check. o COMPRESS-127: Calling close() on inputStream returned by CompressorStreamFactory.createCompressorInputStream() does not close the underlying input stream. o COMPRESS-119: TarArchiveOutputStream#finish now writes all buffered data to the stream Changes: o ZipFile now implements finalize which closes the underlying file. o COMPRESS-117: Certain tar files not recognised by ArchiveStreamFactory.
