Hi all, its been quite some time since I finished the Zip64 stuff and I think we are at the point we discussed three month ago or so: release Compress 1.3 even if it doesn't have many big changes when compared to 1.2. In addition to Zip64 we have read-only support for Unix dump and also Pack200 "compression". Documentation is fairly complete IMHO.
One thing that we may or may not want to address are the integration tests for Zip64 which are currently only run when the run-it profile is enabled. These tests need some zips generated by other tools that are currently not part of svn and we discussed publishing them as separate artifacts - personally I wouldn't even know where to start for this. Then we do have some JIRAs with patches in particular one for XZ compression and patches for compressors where a single container stream contains multiple compressed streams (I didn't know gzip and bzip2 could do that, I must admit), all by Lasse Collin. The XZ patch has the "problem" that it introduces a new dependency - do we want that or would we prefer a separate module? In addition XZ for Java is not available via any Maven repo, yet, this may require some tweaking during build time (Ant <get> task?). Shall we defer this until after the 1.3 release? The other two patches should be addressed together with changing the API in 2.0, IMHO.
