This is a packaging bugfix and feature release. It supports large files (> 2GiB) and unicode file names. This release is specific to cygwin-1.7 -- there is no corresponding release for cygwin-1.5 because (a) the cygwin-1.5 previous release did not have the packaging bug, and (b) cygwin-1.5 doesn't support the facilities needed for the new features. [[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]] CHANGES (since 3.0-10) ======================== o Fix packaging bug where executables were missing '.exe' o Enable unicode file name support. This is an experimental feature, and requires unzip-6.0 or better to unpack. o Use custom build of bzip2 library to enable bzip2 compression within zip files (enables better error messages). Upstream changes (e.g. New for 3.0) ======================== o Large files. Greater than 2GB total; individual files > 2GB, and more than 64k files in a single archive. o Multi-volume. Supported via "split" archives, but not "spanned" archives. See /usr/share/doc/zip/README. o Unicode. o Better command line options. Long option names, and option permuting (allows -x exclude and -i include options to appear other than always last, as was the case in 2.32). o Supports 32bit UIDs/GIDs. However, this requires unzip-6.0 (currently in beta) to restore. o New modes. Difference mode supports incremental backups. File sync mode supports synchonizing between an archive and on-disk files. Copy mode allows copying individual contents between different archives. o Compression using bzip2. Slower, but often better than deflate. Requires unzip-6.0 (currently in beta) to unpack. o Better streaming and piping. Zip operates in command pipelines using stdin/stdout, as well as FIFOs, better than before. o Gobs of new progress information. Also log files. o Updated archive fixing. Can also now fix split archives. o Windows Archive bit support. @@@ NOT SUPPORRTED IN UNIX BUILDS, LIKE CYGWIN @@@ (Use difference mode instead; it's better). o File lists. Think 'make -n' o Extended help. 'zip -h2' == practically a man page. o Many bug fixes. -- Charles Wilson volunteer zip maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
