v1.2.0

Tar v1.2.0

Diff since v1.1.0

The major functional change in this release is that extract will ignore more POSIX headers, including some global headers which are commonly emitted by tar tools when generating PAX formatted tarballs.

Closed issues:

• Pathnames by Tar.create differ from pathnames by command line utility (#21)
• use Tar_jll for CLI testing (#24)
• predicate stops at false result? (#28)

Merged pull requests:

• README: add comparison with CLI tar (close #21) (#23) (@StefanKarpinski)
• Use Tar_jll for testing (#25) (@giordano)
• Windows: close temp handle before trying to delete temp file (#26) (@StefanKarpinski)
• Install TagBot as a GitHub Action (#27) (@JuliaTagBot)
• create docs: clarify predicate behavior on dirs (close #28) (#29) (@StefanKarpinski)
• README: update badge URLs (JuliaLang => JuliaIO) (#30) (@StefanKarpinski)

v1.1.0

Tar v1.1.0 (2020-01-19)

Diff since v1.0.1

GNU tar (and likely other tar tools) unconditionally emit POSIX extended headers for certain metadata fields (mtime, user & group IDs) even though these fields can be encoded perfectly well without extended headers. Previously Tar.jl was assuming that tarballs would only use extended headers for fields for which it is necessary to do so. This release allows these extended headers, but ignores them just as we ignore the same metadata encoded in normal headers.

Closed issues:

• Tar.list refuses Posix formated input files (#20)

Merged pull requests:

• support POSIX extended headers (fix #20) (#22) (StefanKarpinski)

v1.0.0 (2020-01-02)

Diff since v0.2.1

Added support for reading GNU long name & long link extensions. GNU tar emits these by default, so they are quite common in the wild.

• unsupported file type @LongLink (#14)
