4 * NEWS: Record release date.
6 2018-12-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
8 build: enable -Wunreachable-code
9 * configure.ac (nw): Remove -Wunreachable-code from the list of
10 disabled warnings, now that all offending statements have been removed.
12 maint: remove unreachable code
13 Problem reported by Oracle Developer Studio 12.6.
14 In the old days we needed a return statement at the end of
15 the gzip main function to pacify traditional 'lint', but
16 lint checkers nowadays are smarter.
18 * zip.c (file_read): Remove unreachable code.
20 2018-12-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
22 maint: use a slightly cleaner expression
23 * gzip.c (do_list): Simplify an expression:
24 - int positive_off_t_width = INT_BUFSIZE_BOUND (off_t) - 2;
25 + int positive_off_t_width = INT_STRLEN_BOUND (off_t) - 1;
27 2018-12-22 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
29 build: avoid build failure with --enable-gcc-warnings and latest gcc
30 * gzip.c (do_list): There was a loop to compute the maximum width
31 of a decimal positive off_t value. Replace it with assignment to a
32 constant. Noticed because gcc 9.0.0 20181219 warned about its use
33 as a printf format-width value.
34 (OFF_T_MAX): Remove now-unused definition.
36 2018-12-21 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
38 maint: improve a comment
39 * trees.c (flush_block): Fix grammar/spelling in a comment.
41 maint: update gnulib to latest; also update bootstrap and init.sh
43 build: make the autoconf-2.63 requirement explicit
44 * configure.ac: AC_PREREQ: Require 2.63, not 2.59.
45 Autoconf-2.63 has been required for some time via gnulib.
46 This merely makes it explicit.
48 2018-11-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
50 gzip: fix use of uninitialized memory
51 Problem reported by Hanno Böck (Bug#33501).
53 * inflate.c (inflate_dynamic): Return if code is invalid.
55 * tests/hufts: Add test case for the bug.
57 2018-08-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
59 * gzip.c (remove_output_file): Fix typo.
61 gzip: fix bug in signal-handling fix
62 Problem reported by Johannes Przybilla (Bug#32375#26).
63 * gzip.c (volatile_strcpy): Source is now pointer-to-volatile too.
64 (remove_output_file): Copy remove_ofname to a private nonvolatile
65 copy so that it can be passed to xunlink safely.
67 2018-08-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
69 Fix some theoretical races in signal handling
70 Problem reported by Johannes Przybilla (Bug#32375).
72 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sigaction.
73 * gzip.c (SA_NOCLDSTOP, sigprocmask, sigset_t)
74 (siginterrupt) [!SA_NOCLDSTOP]: Remove; Gnulib not supplies these.
75 (remove_ofname): New var.
76 (volatile_strcpy): New function.
77 (create_outfile): Use it.
78 (install_signal_handlers, abort_gzip_signal): Assume sigaction.
79 (remove_output_file): New arg SIGNALS_ALREADY_BLOCKED.
80 All uses changed. Avoid unnecessary (and racy) call
81 to sigprocmask if this new arg is set.
82 (abort_gzip_signal): Assume C89 or better for signal handler type.
83 * gzip.h (RETSIGTYPE): Remove.
84 * lib/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore:
85 Add files brought in by Gnulib sigaction module. Sort.
87 2018-08-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
89 gzip: port better to mingw again
90 Problem reported by Bdale Garbee (Bug#32305#8).
91 * gzip.c (do_chown): Use HAVE_FCHOWN || HAVE_CHOWN,
92 which is configured, instead of DO_CHOWN, which is not.
94 2018-08-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
96 gzip: make the output more reproducible
97 Problem reported by Bernhard M. Wiedemann (Bug#32342).
99 * doc/gzip.texi (Overview, Invoking gzip): Document this.
100 * gzip.c (get_input_size_and_time): New function,
101 which implements the change.
102 (treat_stdin, treat_file): Use it.
103 * tests/reproducible: New test.
104 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
106 2018-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
108 gzip: port better to mingw
109 Problem reported by Bdale Garbee for Debian
110 * gzip.c (do_chown): Don't assume uid_t and gid_t.
112 2018-07-01 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
114 maint: update gnulib to latest; also update bootstrap and init.sh
116 2018-06-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
118 build: remove -Wformat-truncation=2 to avoid avoid false-positive
119 * configure.ac (GNULIB_WARN_CFLAGS): Add -Wformat-truncation=2,
120 to disable it when building gnulib with --enable-gcc-warnings.
121 This avoids what looks like a false positive from GCC 9:
122 strerror_r.c: In function 'rpl_strerror_r':
123 strerror_r.c:453:35: error: 'Unknown error ' directive output \
124 truncated writing 14 bytes into a region of size 2 \
125 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
126 snprintf (buf, buflen, "Unknown error %d", errnum);
128 In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:862,
130 from strerror_r.c:29:
131 /usr/include/bits/stdio2.h:64:10: note: '__builtin___snprintf_chk' \
132 output between 16 and 26 bytes into a destination of size 2
133 return __builtin___snprintf_chk (__s, __n, __USE_FORTIFY_LEVEL - 1,
135 2018-01-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
137 misc: update --version copyright
138 * gunzip.in, gzexe.in, gzip.c, zcat.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in:
139 * zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
140 Update copyright year in --version output to 2018.
141 This part of the year-number update isn’t automated yet.
143 2018-01-07 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
145 maint: post-release administrivia
146 * NEWS: Add header line for next release.
147 * .prev-version: Record previous version.
148 * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
151 * NEWS: Record release date.
153 2018-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
155 gzexe: port to macOS mktemp
156 Problem reported by Jeffrey Walton (Bug#30000).
157 * gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zgrep.in:
158 Don’t assume that mktemp works when given no arguments,
159 as this is not true for macOS. Instead, use a syntax
160 that should work with coreutils, NetBSD, and macOS.
161 While we’re in the neighborhood, be more consistent about how program
162 names are used in temporary file names. Also, watch out for TMPDIR
163 values that are not absolute file names, since they can cause problems
166 2018-01-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
168 maint: update gnulib and copyright dates for 2018
169 * gnulib: Update to latest.
170 * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
171 * all files: Run "make update-copyright".
173 2017-12-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
175 build: update gnulib to latest
177 2017-11-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
179 maint: zforce and zmore exit status cleanup
180 Problem reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
181 * zforce.in, zmore.in: On failure, exit with status 1 instead of
182 with whatever failing status that printf or mv exited with.
184 2017-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
186 gzexe: ensure file always exists
187 * gzexe.in: When in a filesystem that does not support symlinks,
188 use rm+cp rather than mv to make backups, so that the argument
191 2017-11-23 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
193 build: update gnulib to latest
195 2017-11-16 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
197 gzexe: work even without the ability to make a hard link
198 * gzexe.in: When ln -f fails to create a "~"-style backup,
199 fall back to using mv -f.
200 Reported by Bruno Haible in http://debbugs.gnu.org/29266
202 2017-11-15 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
204 build: make each generated script unwritable
205 * Makefile.am (.in): Ensure that each generated script is unwritable.
206 This makes it less likely that someone (even me) will mistakenly
207 modify one of those generated files.
209 2017-11-13 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
211 zless, znew: exit 1 upon --help or --version write failure
212 * zless.in: Exit 1 upon --help or --version write error.
215 2017-11-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
217 maint: script diagnostics status cleanup
218 Problem reported by Bruno Haible (Bug#29266#20).
219 * NEWS: Mention this.
220 * gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in:
221 * zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
222 Use printf instead of echo if the argument might contain ‘\’, at
223 least in theory. Don’t assume printf exits with status 1 on
224 failure; it might be some other positive status.
225 * gzexe.in: Use printf consistently instead of echo, and
226 proscribe it instead of echo.
228 tests: don’t be so strict about timestamps
229 * tests/timestamp: We’ve had many false alarms about timestamps
230 that are not gzip problems, but instead are problems with ‘touch’.
231 Attempt to work around them by not trusting ‘touch’ so much.
232 Problems and parts of solutions proposed by Bruno Haible.
234 2017-11-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
236 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
238 2017-11-09 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
240 gnulib: update to latest
242 maint: use noreturn, not ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN
243 Use gnulib's stdnoreturn module so we can include
244 <stdnoreturn.h> and the "noreturn" helper macro, thus
245 replacing the definition and uses of ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
246 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stdnoreturn.
247 * gzip.h (ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN): Remove definition.
248 Include stdnoreturn.h and use "noreturn" for each
249 ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN-adorned function declaration.
250 * gzip.c (do_exit, try_help): Use "noreturn".
252 tests: unpack-invalid: correct and clean up a test
253 * tests/unpack-invalid: There was a logic error that would have
254 caused this test to ignore a failure if first iteration of the
255 loop set fail=1 and the second one reset it to 0. Also, use
256 "returns_ 1 ...", to require an exit status of 1.
258 2017-11-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
260 gzip: diagnose out-of-range MTIME
261 This seems to be the problem reported by Bruno Haible for GNU/Hurd
262 i386 with touch 8.26 and glibc 2.24 (Bug#29033#20).
263 * NEWS: Document this.
264 * gzip.c (get_method): If MTIME is out of range for
265 this platform, warn and substitute the nearest in-range
266 value, instead of silently ignoring it.
267 (do_list): Remove no-longer-needed test for unknown time stamp.
269 2017-11-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
271 misc: diagnose year-2038 configuration problems
272 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add year2038.
273 * m4/.gitignore: Add year2038.m4[
275 maint: remove IMPORT_FROM_GETTEXT
276 * bootstrap.conf (IMPORT_FROM_GETTEXT): Remove.
277 This is a relic from older Gnulib, and has no effect now.
279 2017-10-29 Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com>
281 tests/unpack-valid: port to printf that do not grok hex
282 Many versions of printf do not handle hexadecimal in a format string,
283 so this test would fail.
284 * tests/init.cfg (hex_printf_): Copied from grep's tests/init.cfg.
285 * tests/unpack-valid: Use hex_printf_.
286 Reported by Bruno Haible in https://bugs.gnu.org/29033#26
288 gnulib: update to latest; also update tests/init.sh from gnulib
290 gzip: fix bug with any upper case custom ('-S'-specified) suffix
291 Any user-specified suffix with an upper case
292 letter would fail to match desired file.
293 * gzip.c (get_suffix): First, arrange to have only one return
294 point rather than two. Put a lower-cased (just-malloc'd) copy
295 of z_suffix in the suffix vector, and free it before returning.
296 * tests/upper-suffix: New file.
297 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

351 2017-03-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
353 gzip: port zdiff, zless to Busybox
354 Problem reported by Denys Zagorui (Bug#26088).
355 * tests/zdiff: Check that diff uses POSIX-format output.
356 * zless.in (less_version): Don't exit merely because 'less -V'
357 fails; instead, assume 'less' is compatible with an old version of
358 the original 'less'. Busybox 'less -V' fails, but apparently its
359 'less' works anyway somehow.

363 tests: avoid failure when running with no tty
364 * tests/help-version (zcat_setup): Export TERM=dumb, to avoid zless
365 malfunction. Reported by Assaf Gordon in https://bugs.gnu.org/25636#8

404 2016-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
406 gzip: minor time stamp cleanups
407 * NEWS: Document this.
408 * gzip.c (get_method): Do not warn about MTIME out of range.
409 This should avoid useless chatter on hosts with 32-bit time_t
410 after the year 2038 (!).
411 (do_list): Do not pass junk time stamp to localtime.
412 (copy_stat): Do not report "time stamp restored" if restoration

453 maint: fix gzip-specific syntax-check rule
454 * cfg.mk (sc_gzip_copyright_check): This rule had two problems.
455 It was failing erroneously (the copyright date in gzip.c is fine),
456 yet it was complaining. The first problem is that the rule's
457 diagnostic mentioned the wrong file: lib/version-etc.c, rather than
458 ./gzip.c. The second problem is that it specified this file name
459 via "in_files" rather than the "in_vc_files" variable.

504 gzip: simplify by closing ourselves
505 This simplifies the previous fix, by avoiding the use of the
506 closein module. That module was problematic, as gzip normally
507 does not use stdio for output and never uses it for input.
508 Also, it is a heavyweight module, as it drags many files into lib
509 (c-ctype.c, c-ctype.h, closein.c, closein.h, closeout.c, closeout.h,
510 close-stream.c, close-stream.h, config.charset, c-strcasecmp.c,
511 c-strcaseeq.h, c-strcase.h, c-strncasecmp.c, fpending.c, fpending.h,
512 freadahead.c, freadahead.h, localcharset.c, localcharset.h, mbrtowc.c,
513 mbsinit.c, quotearg.c, quotearg.h, quote.h, ref-add.sin, ref-del.sin,
514 streq.h, wctype-h.c, wctype.in.h) and into m4 (closein.m4, closeout.m4,
515 close-stream.m4, codeset.m4, configmake.m4, fpending.m4, freadahead.m4,
516 glibc21.m4, localcharset.m4, locale-fr.m4, locale-ja.m4, locale-zh.m4,
517 mbrtowc.m4, mbsinit.m4, mbstate_t.m4, quotearg.m4, wctype_h.m4),
518 and these files are thus no longer needed.
519 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove closein.
520 * gzip.c: Don't include closein.h.
521 (stdin_was_read): New static var.
522 (main): Don't use close_stdin.
523 Invoke finish_out to exit after outputting via stdio's stdout.
524 Close stdin after reading it.
525 Restore previous way of closing stdout.
526 (treat_stdin): Record that stdin was read.
527 (finish_out): New function.
529 gzip: fix bug with -l output to pipes
530 Problem reported by Christian Franke via Eric Blake in:
531 http://bugs.gnu.org/23314
532 * NEWS: Mention this.
533 * gzip.c (main): Do not close stdout twice when given -l.
534 Instead, -l now just fflushes stdout, so that fdatasync
535 can synchronize it if --synchronize is also specified.

561 Problem reported by Assaf Gordon in: http://bugs.gnu.org/23107#13
562 * gzexe.in, zdiff.in, zgrep.in: Don't rely on mktemp -t,
563 as it has a different meaning in NetBSD.
565 * tests/init.sh: Sync from Gnulib.
567 Port to Alpine Linux which uses Busybox

572 gzip: also honor GZIP=--rsyncable
573 * gzip.c (main): Also accept --rsyncable when it is specified
574 via the GZIP environment variable.
575 I noticed this when gzip's "make dist" failed because maint.mk
576 detected that gzip now honors --rsyncable, yet when it set GZIP_ENV
577 to include that, and that propagated via automake-generated code
578 to the GZIP setting used in the "make dist" rule, there, it was not
579 honored, and caused "make dist" to fail.

583 Fix typo in previous patch
585 Port to Solaris 11 /bin/sh

587 A problem was reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe for OpenIndiana.
588 I reproduced a problem with different symptoms on Solaris 11.
589 Switching to Bash fixed it, and I hope this fixes it for
590 OpenIndiana too, since both problems appear to be shell-related.

600 a regular file, copy it into a temporary and use the temporary.

604 gzip: port to AIX 7.1 + xlc V12.1
605 * inflate.c, unlzw.c, util.c: Include tailor.h after including any
606 system include file that might in turn include signal.h for the
607 first time, so that SIGPIPE is not #defined to 0 prematurely,
608 which clashes with signal.h's SIGPIPE.

640 * zgrep.in: Simplify previous change.
642 gzip: port zgrep to Solaris 11.2
643 Problem reported by Assaf Gordon in: http://bugs.gnu.org/22900#11
644 * zgrep.in: Port to Solaris 11.2 /bin/sh (ksh 93u 2011-02-08),
645 where $? is 256+SIG when a process was killed with signal SIG, and
646 where 'exit 257' is equivalent to 'exit 1'. Apparently some other
647 sh implementations use 256+128+SIG. So, instead of using plain
648 'exit $?', use the equivalent of 'exit ((128 * (128 <= $?)) + $? %
649 128)' within the script, and use the equivalent of 'kill -$($? %
650 128)' at the top level if the exit status is 128 or more.
652 gzip: remove --__bindir
653 * NEWS: Document this.
654 * gzexe.in, gunzip.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zegrep.in:
655 * zfgrep.in, zforce.in, zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
656 Remove support for undocumented --__bindir option. Callers can
657 set PATH instead; that's less error-prone. This fixes some
658 'make check' failures on my Solaris 11 box, which occurred
659 because the test scripts were mistakenly testing the installed
660 gzip rather than the gzip in the working directory.
661 * Makefile.am (.in): Don't replace bindir.
662 (check-local): Set PATH instead of using --__bindir.
663 * tests/help-version (gunzip_setuphelp, gzexe_setuphelp)

744 openat-safer, unistd-safer, unlinkat.

755 same. All callers changed.
756 * lib/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore: Add new gnulib files.
757 * tailor.h (PROTO, NO_STDIN_FSTAT, OPEN): Remove. Remove MACOS
758 section, as this stuff would not work anyway now, and circa 2001
759 Apple stopped supporting Mac OS 9 and earlier.
760 * zip.c: Do not include unistd.h and fcntl.h, as this file does

1063 gzip: add "--keep" option to retain (don't delete) input files
1064 gzip now accepts the --keep (-k) option, for consistency with tools
1065 like xz, lzip and bzip2. With this option, gzip no longer removes
1066 named input files when compressing and decompressing.
1067 * doc/gzip.texi: Document it.
1069 * gunzip.in: Likewise.
1071 * gzip.c: Add support for "--keep".

1088 tests: work even if non-GNU gzip is installed in /usr/local/bin
1089 Problem reported by Antonio Diaz Diaz in
1090 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2013-04/msg00004.html>.
1091 * tests/help-version (zdiff_setup, zcat_setup, znew_setup, zgrep_setup)
1092 (gzexe_setup): Pass --__bindir so that subsidiary programs are our
1093 own's, not /usr/local/bin's. This requires using 'eval' on the result.
1094 (zcmp_setup, gunzip_setup, zmore_setup, zless_setup, zforce_setup)
1095 (zegrep_setup, zfgrep_setup): Invoke one of the other setup functions,

1104 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
1105 Use "FOO=val; export FOO" rather than "export FOO=val",
1106 as the latter form doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.

1110 gzip: port to DMF file systems
1111 * util.c (read_buffer): When reading a file with O_NONBLOCK, if

1169 * configure.ac: Invoke gl_ASSERT_NO_GNULIB_POSIXCHECK.
1170 (--enable-gcc-warnings): Change help message.

1172 Do not omit -Wunused-macros for main code.
1173 Adjust other -W options as per coreutils.

1175 * unlzw.c (REGISTERS, REG1, REG2, ..., REG16): Remove.
1176 All uses removed. These provoked -Wunused-macros warnings.
1177 This sort of fiddling with registers hasn't been needed for years.
1179 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
1181 maint: port to platforms lacking SIGPIPE

1194 tests: exercise the grep -e portability fix

1199 * tests/init.cfg (require_POSIX_grep_): Remove.
1201 2012-10-23 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
1203 build: default to --enable-gcc-warnings in a git tree
1204 Anyone building from cloned sources can be assumed to have a new
1205 enough environment, such that enabling gcc warnings by default will
1206 be useful. Tarballs still default to no warnings, and the default
1207 can still be overridden with --disable-gcc-warnings.
1208 * configure.ac (gl_gcc_warnings): Set default based on environment.
1210 2012-10-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1212 zgrep: do not assume standard 'grep' has -e

1222 zgrep: do not assume GNU expr
1223 * zgrep.in: Do not assume '\+' has the GNU behavior in the BRE
1224 given to 'expr', as POSIX does not guarantee that. Come to think
1225 of it, use a shell pattern rather than 'expr', as this is more
1228 2012-08-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1230 tests: exercise the just-fixed part of zgrep
1231 * tests/zgrep-context: New file.
1232 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
1234 2012-08-08 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1236 zgrep: handle a multi-digit context option like -15
1237 * zgrep.in: Do not malfunction when given an option like -15.
1238 Before, it could end up treating the pattern as a file name:
1240 $ echo x | gzip | zgrep -15 x
1241 gzip: x.gz: No such file or directory

1258 zmore: rewrite to fix bugs and assume POSIX
1259 Problem reported for Solaris 9 by Daniel in
1260 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2012-06/msg00007.html>.
1261 Rather than figure out what exactly went wrong in Solaris 9
1262 it was easier to rip out all the buggy compatibility and stty cruft.
1263 * zmore.in: Don't use stty or trap; simply pipe the output to 'more'
1264 and let it deal with signals and terminal control.
1265 Use printf, not 'echo', to avoid problems with backslashes.
1266 Don't assume ANS is not 's' in the environment.
1267 Use a 'more'-style header instead of rolling our own style.
1268 Paginate the header, too; the old behavior lost the header.
1269 * NEWS, zmore.1: Document this.
1271 2012-06-17 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

1301 * bootstrap.conf: Add savedir.
1302 * gzip.c: Include <savedir.h>.
1303 (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Remove.
1304 (treat_dir): Use savedir rather than reading directory entries one
1305 at a time, to avoid revisiting an already-compressed file when using
1306 ZFS and the -rf flags are specified.
1307 * lib/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore: Ignore savedir-related files.

1537 For convenience, since the tight-scope rule uses $(noinst_HEADERS).

1541 maint: update bootstrap and init.sh from gnulib
1542 * bootstrap: Likewise.
1543 * tests/init.sh: Update from gnulib.
1545 maint: note that we'll remove amiga, atari, msdos, nt, os2, vms soon
1546 If someone can show that any of these are being used, let us know.
1547 * TODO: Note the plan to remove those directories this year.
1549 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
1551 maint: fix typos in vms manual: s/it\nit/\nit/
1552 * vms/gzip.hlp: Remove doubled "it".
1554 2011-04-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1556 maint: fix typos in comment: s/to to/to/
1557 * deflate.c: Remove doubled 'to's.
1559 2011-03-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1561 maint: stop using .x-sc_* files to list syntax-check exemptions
1562 Instead, use the new mechanism with which you merely use a
1563 variable (derived from the rule name) defined in cfg.mk to an ERE
1564 matching the exempted file names.
1565 * gnulib: Update to latest, to get maint.mk that implements this.
1566 * .x-sc_file_system: Remove file.
1567 * .x-sc_prohibit_tab_based_indentation: Likewise.
1568 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Likewise.
1569 * .x-sc_require_config_h_first: Likewise.
1570 * cfg.mk: Define variables to exempt the same files.
1572 2011-03-18 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1574 doc: correct README-release
1575 * README-release: Remove mention of -announce mailing list.
1576 Unlike coreutils, gzip does not have its own.
1578 doc: update release procedure
1579 * README-release: Resync from coreutils' file by the same name.
1581 2011-01-03 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1583 maint: update copyright year ranges to include 2011
1584 Run "make update-copyright", so "make syntax-check" works in 2011.
1586 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
1588 maint: avoid failure of new test for bindtextdomain
1589 * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add sc_bindtextdomain.
1591 2010-12-02 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
1593 maint: avoid "make syntax-check" failure due to old-NEWS modification
1594 * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update, to reflect recent NEWS correction.
1596 2010-12-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1598 * NEWS: The "gzip -f foo.gz" change occurred in 1.3.13, not 1.3.12
1600 2010-11-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1602 zgrep: don't assume traditional behavior with signal numbers
1603 * zgrep.in: Don't assume the exit status is the signal number plus
1604 128, as POSIX doesn't require this. No need to kill self; exiting
1605 with large status is enough. Propagate all exit statuses greater
1606 than 1, not merely those in the range 129..143, as there's no need
1607 to treat that range specially (and it's not portable anyway).
1609 2010-11-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1611 zgrep: fix shell portability bug with -f; fix mishandling of "-e -"
1612 * tests/zgrep-f: Check for "zgrep -e -" bug, too.
1613 * zgrep.in: Don't assume that if the shell redirects fd 6, then
1614 this redirection is visible to the subsidiary grep. POSIX doesn't
1615 guarantee this visibility except for file descriptors 0, 1, and 2,
1616 and ksh does not support it. Problem reported by Thomas Schulz in
1617 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2010-11/msg00000.html>.
1618 Also, fix a related bug: "-e -" was mishandled. These two bugs
1619 were introduced by commit 5b54db4546b84ec97ff57a62f8ddb98faacf77f2
1621 (escape): Change the convention: do not assume that a stray X
1622 is present at the end of the last line. All uses changed.
1623 There was no longer any need for this convention, and fixing this
1624 made it a bit easier to use 'sed' in a later part of the fix.
1626 2010-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1628 maint: fix copyright dates that were munged by a maintenance script
1629 * gunzip.in, gzexe.in, zcat.in, zcmp.in, zdiff.in, zforce.in:
1630 * zgrep.in, zless.in, zmore.in, znew.in:
1631 A script went awry when updating copyright dates in gzip's shell
1632 scripts. It should update comments to look like "# Copyright (C)
1633 2007, 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (with a set of years)
1634 and version messages to look like "Copyright (C) 2010 Free
1635 Software Foundation, Inc." (with just the most-recent year).
1636 Instead, it sometimes ignored one, sometimes the other, and
1637 typically put ranges into version messages. Fix all this stuff by
1638 hand, using dates that I divined from the change logs (so they're
1639 a bit more accurate than script-generated dates). We need to fix
1640 the script before it runs in 2011.

1704 2010-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1706 algorithm.doc: mention Internet RFC 1952 and modernize a bit
1707 * algorithm.doc: Update to mention header-CRC and Internet RFC 1952.
1708 Also, remove the crypto stuff, which never worked.
1709 Inspired by that same suggestion of Greg Roelofs.
1711 gzip: Use 0x%04x instead of %x when printing 16-bit checksums
1712 * gzip.c (get_method): Use 0x%04x, not %x, to print 16-bit checksums.

1733 Mention that gzip -d now handles FHCRC.
1735 2010-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

1738 Problem reported by Greg Roelofs in:
1739 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2010-06/msg00003.html
1741 * gzip.c (discard_input_bytes): New function.
1742 (get_method): Check header checksum, if given. We never generate it,
1743 but other programs may.
1744 * gzip.h (HEADER_CRC): Renamed from CONTINUATION. All uses changed.
1745 * tailor.h [defined __50SERIES]: Remove PRIMOS stuff that was obsolete
1746 anyway and would have made this patch harder to maintain.
1747 (get_char, put_char): Remove.
1748 * zip.c (zip): Use put_byte instead of the now-removed put_char.

1799 tests: pull help-version from grep
1801 build: keep --version strictly up to date
1802 Before this change, in development, gzip's --version output could lag
1803 behind reality by a couple deltas or by a "-dirty" suffix. That would
1804 lead to spurious failure of the new --version-$VERSION PATH cross-check.
1805 * Makefile.am (version.c, version.h): New rules.

1865 maint: let configure-invoked cpp emit diagnostics to config.log
1866 * configure.ac: Do not discard CPP's stderr.
1868 build: update gnulib submodule to latest, and adapt

1870 perl -pi -e 's/\b_prohibit_regexp\b/_sc_search_regexp/;'
1871 -e 's/\bmsg=/halt=/; s/\bre=/prohibit=/;' cfg.mk
1872 and then adjust backslashes so they still line up.
1873 * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Add new sc_texinfo_acronym, to skip it.
1874 * msdos/tailor.c (fcalloc): Mark a diagnostic for translation, to
1875 placate stricter syntax-check, even though no one uses this file.
1877 use assembly code matcher when possible
1878 * configure.ac (ASCPPPOST): Backslash-escape "#" in AC_SUBST'd
1879 variable, to keep make from seeing it as a comment-introducer.
1880 Based on a patch by Petr Pisar.
1881 * lib/Makefile.am (match.$(OBJEXT)): Use AM_V_GEN and AM_V_at.
1882 * lib/match.c: Don't include <config.h>.
1883 It would impede configure-time assembler test.
1884 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Exempt lib/match.c from syntax-check.
1885 * .x-sc_require_config_h_first: Likewise.

1891 (treat_stdin): Use st_mtime only from a regular file.
1892 This matters at least on Cygwin 1.7.1-1, for which a stdin-pipe has
1893 the mtime of /dev/null, rather than the gzip-documented-for-pipes
1894 "current time". Reported by Denis Excoffier.

1902 gzip: fix a data-loss bug when decompressing with --suffix=''
1903 * gzip.c (main): Disallow an empty --suffix=S also with -d.
1904 Otherwise, "gzip -d -S '' F.gz" would ask if it's ok to remove the
1905 existing file, "F.gz"; if you reply "yes", you'd lose all of that data.
1906 Use of an empty suffix was already rejected in compression mode.
1907 * gzip.1 (--suffix (-S)): Do not recommend to use "gunzip -S '' *".
1908 Describe how the suffix is used when decompressing, too.
1909 * NEWS (Bug fixes): mention the fix.
1910 Reported by Ripduman Sohan.

1947 2010-02-03 Mark Adler <madler@alumni.caltech.edu>
1949 gzip -cdf now handles concatenation of gzip'd and uncompressed data
1950 * util.c (copy): Change semantics so as to honor a decremented inptr.
1951 * gzip.c (get_method): When needed (-cdf), decrement inptr rather
1952 than clearing it -- and output the first magic byte.
1954 2010-02-03 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
1956 zgrep: terminate gracefully when a pipeline is interrupted by a signal
1957 zgrep is not terminated gracefully when its grep/sed pipeline
1958 is terminated by a signal. For example, a command like
1959 zgrep -F .TH /usr/share/man/man1/*.gz | head
1960 continues working long after the "head" process completes.
1961 Another example, a command like
1962 zgrep unmatched-pattern /usr/share/man/man1/*.gz
1963 cannot be interrupted by sending a SIGQUIT with Ctrl-\ key, it outputs
1964 zgrep: line 221: test: : integer expression expected

2017 It is unnecessary, since Makefile.am's TESTS_ENVIRONMENT setting

2034 2010-02-01 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
2036 fix "znew -K" to work without use of compress utility
2037 * znew.in: Change -K option to imply -t, do not use compress(1).
2038 * znew.1: Document it.
2039 * tests/znew-k: New test.
2040 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2042 2010-01-20 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2044 maint: update README-release procedure
2045 * README-release: sync from coreutils.
2047 post-release administrivia
2048 * NEWS: Add header line for next release.
2049 * .prev-version: Record previous version.
2050 * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Auto-update.
2053 * NEWS: Record release date.
2055 tests: exercise the segfault fix
2056 * tests/helin-segv: New test.
2057 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2059 gzip -d: do not clobber stack for valid input on x86_64
2060 * unlzw.c (unlzw): Avoid integer overflow.
2061 Aki Helin reported the segfault along with an input to trigger the bug.
2062 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
2064 maint: avoid a minor "make syntax-check" failure
2065 * .x-sc_file_system: Exempt NEWS, since it includes a literal
2066 from an old diagnostic.
2068 maint: remove unused file: README-alpha
2069 * README-alpha: Remove unused file.
2071 build: update gnulib submodule to latest
2073 2010-01-11 Yuxi Zhang <YZhang@qnx.com>
2075 gzip -d: use memcpy more often
2076 * inflate.c (inflate_codes): Use memcpy (rather than slower
2077 memcopy-like code) in more cases.
2079 2010-01-11 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2081 build: do not override gnulib-provided AM_CFLAGS options
2082 Avoid a warning from automake:
2083 lib/Makefile.am:24: AM_CFLAGS multiply defined in condition TRUE ...
2084 lib/gnulib.mk:30: ... `AM_CFLAGS' previously defined here
2085 lib/Makefile.am:20: `lib/gnulib.mk' included from here
2087 * lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Append $(WARN_CFLAGS) and
2088 $(WERROR_CFLAGS), i.e., use "+=", not "=".
2089 This was introduced via 2009-12-17 commit 0341fc22,
2090 "build: with --enable-gcc-warnings, use -Werror",
2091 but fortunately is not a bug, because the definition
2092 it would have overridden was always empty.
2094 2010-01-10 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2096 gzip -d would fail with a CRC error...
2097 ...for some inputs, and some memcpy implementations. It is possible
2098 that an offending input has to be compressed "from FAT filesystem
2099 (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT)", since the sole reproducer no longer evokes a
2100 CRC error when uncompressed and recompressed on a GNU/Linux system.
2101 Also, using an unpatched reverse-memcpy-gzip on over 100,000 inputs
2102 on a GNU/Linux system did not turn up another reproducer.
2103 * inflate.c (inflate_codes): Don't call memcpy with overlapping regions.
2104 Properly detect when source and destination overlap.
2105 * tests/memcpy-abuse: New test, to trigger misbehavior.
2106 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
2107 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

2184 * deflate.c (EQUAL): Remove definition. Use "0" at sole point of use.
2186 build: util.c: avoid warnings about add_envopt
2187 * util.c (add_envopt): The parameter "env" was used for two conflicting
2188 purposes. One use required a const char* parameter, while the other
2189 was used as an argument to free, which must not be "const".
2190 Rename the parameter and use a new local variable for the second role.
2192 build: avoid many const-related warnings
2193 * gzip.c: Add "const" to many variables, to avoid compiler warnings.
2194 * util.c (add_envopt): Make 3rd parameter const

2219 now provided by maint.mk, are the same.
2220 * gnulib: Update for latest, including those maint.mk additions.
2222 build: "make stable" emitted an invalid gnupload command
2223 * cfg.mk (gnu_ftp_host-stable): Rename from gnu_ftp_host-major.

2259 build: do not use AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM
2260 * configure.ac: Do not use "AC_PREFIX_PROGRAM(gzip)".
2261 It would induce behavior that is so surprising that it is probably
2262 universally considered to be buggy, these days. Reported by Zube
2263 in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.gzip.bugs/273

2281 * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Enable color-tests and parallel-tests.
2283 zgrep: portability improvements; exercise "-f -"
2284 * zgrep.in: Adjust loop not to use seq; it's not portable enough.
2285 Fail if we don't find a free file descriptor.
2286 (exists): New function; Use it in place of less portable "test -e".
2287 Testing for existence of /dev/fd/$fd doesn't work on Solaris 10,
2288 since all 256 always exist (as char devices), but testing for
2289 /proc/$$/fd/$fd does work, so do that instead.
