  1. Zip 3.0g
  2. We have posted Zip Beta 3.0g, January 30th 2008. This is a beta
  3. release, but is more or less complete and is considered a release
  4. candidate. See the file WhatsNew for a list of major features
  5. implemented and what's left.
  6. The archive reading and writing code in Zip 3.0 has been redone to
  7. support split archives. We've extensively tested the code over the
  8. last year, but you should thoroughly test it yourself before relying
  9. on it. Also note that Unicode support has been added and should comply
  10. with the latest AppNote, but is still new and so may need refining.
  11. Please test this beta and let us know if we're ready to officially
  12. release Zip 3.0.
  13. New things in Zip 3.0g
  14. - Add split support to VB project for Zip64.
  15. - Disable reading of Unix FIFOs unless new -FI option used to avoid an
  16. archiving operation stopping when it hits an active unfed FIFO.
  17. - The [list] wildcard expression (regular expression matching of any
  18. character or range of characters in list) is now disabled on DOS and
  19. Windows as it has caused confusion when filenames have [ and ] in
  20. them. The new -RE option reenables it.
  21. - Add negation to many display options such as -dc and -db.
  22. - Allow -FF to read and fix archives having local entries that appear
  23. after central directory entries.
  24. - Many small bug fixes.
