- Update to version 1.6:
+ New Features: Allow specifying the allowed compression formats
at runtime. This would allow us, for example, to disable the
slightly scary LZX compression format when parsing unknown
files.
+ Bugfixes: Do not require git when building from a tarball.
* Fri Aug 05 2022 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 1.5:
+ New Features:
- New gcab_file_set_bytes() API.
- meson: Register the gcab executable with meson.
+ Bugfixes:
- Fixed MSZIP compression when deflate algorithm would expand.
Previous versions of gcab can produce "incorrect" archives
(when a compressed block is larger than its input). They are
however supported by gcab itself, and we will keep support
for it for the foreseeble future.
- gcab: avoid runtime warnings.
- Fix coverity warnings.
+ Updated translations.
* Sat Jan 25 2020 dimstar@opensuse.org
