-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The Apache Commons Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Commons Compress 1.7.
The Apache Commons Compress Library defines a Java API for working with ar, cpio, tar, zip, 7z, arj, dump, gzip, pack200, bzip2, lzma, snappy, Z and xz files. Version 1.7 introduces read-only support for Snappy and traditional Unix .Z compress but it also fixes important bugs inside the tar and 7z packages. Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache Commons download site: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-compress/download_compress.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location when downloading the release. Changes in this version include: New features: o Read-Only support for Snappy compression. Issue: COMPRESS-147. Thanks to BELUGA BEHR. o Read-Only support for .Z compressed files. Issue: COMPRESS-243. Thanks to Damjan Jovanovic. o ZipFile and ZipArchiveInputStream now support reading entries compressed using the SHRINKING method. Thanks to Damjan Jovanovic. o GzipCompressorOutputStream now supports setting the compression level and the header metadata (filename, comment, modification time, operating system and extra flags) Issue: COMPRESS-250. Thanks to Emmanuel Bourg. o ZipFile and ZipArchiveInputStream now support reading entries compressed using the IMPLODE method. Issue: COMPRESS-115. Thanks to Emmanuel Bourg. o ZipFile and the 7z file classes now implement Closeable and can be used in try-with-resources constructs. Fixed Bugs: o SevenZOutputFile#closeArchiveEntry throws an exception when using LZMA2 compression on Java8. Issue: COMPRESS-241. o 7z reading of big 64bit values could be wrong. Issue: COMPRESS-244. Thanks to Nico Kruber. o TarArchiveInputStream could fail to read an archive completely. Issue: COMPRESS-245. o The time-setters in X5455_ExtendedTimestamp now set the corresponding flags explicitly - i.e. they set the bit if the valus is not-null and reset it otherwise. This may cause incompatibilities if you use setFlags to unset a bit and later set the time to a non-null value - the flag will now be set. Issue: COMPRESS-242. o SevenZOutputFile would create invalid archives if more than six empty files or directories were included. Issue: COMPRESS-252.
