0.6.0.0 Bodigrim andrew.lelechenko@gmail.com December 2023
This release features support for long file paths and symlinks (thanks to Julian Ospald) and variety of changes and improvements across entire package, fixing multiple causes of silent data corruption.
Breaking changes:
- Generalize
Entries
,Entry
andEntryContent
toGenEntries
,GenEntry
andGenEntryContent
.- Functions working on entries have been generalized to more polymorphic types, where possible.
- Modules which used to
import Codec.Archive.Tar (Entry(..))
should nowimport Codec.Archive.Tar (Entry, pattern Entry)
and similar for otherGen
-types. Another option is to import the entire module qualified.
- Redesign
Codec.Archive.Tar.Check
.- Change types of
checkSecurity
,checkTarbomb
,checkPortability
. - Add offending path as new field to
TarBombError
constructor. - Extend
FileNameError
withUnsafeLinkTarget
constructor.
- Change types of
- Drop deprecated
emptyIndex
andfinaliseIndex
.
Examples of migration:
hackage-security
archive-backpack
keter
libarchive
cabal-install
ghcup
hackage-server
hedgehog-extras
Bug fixes:
- Add support for over-long filepaths via GNU extension.
- Now
entryPath
corresponds to an internal, low-level path, limited to 255 characters. To list filenames properly usedecodeLongNames
, followed byentryTarPath
.
- Now
- Fix handling of hardlinks and symlinks.
- Handle > 8 GB files insted of silent corruption.
- Prohibit non-ASCII file names instead of silent corruption.
- Set permissions on extracted files.
- Ignore FAT32 errors when setting modification time.
- Switch to trailer parsing mode only after a full block of
NUL
.
New API:
- Add
Traversable Entries
instance. - Add
toTarPath'
,ToTarPathResult
,longLinkEntry
,longSymLinkEntry
. - Add
packSymlinkEntry
andsymbolicLinkPermission
. - Add
packAndCheck
andunpackAndCheck
. - Add
checkEntrySecurity
,checkEntryTarbomb
andcheckEntryPortability
. - Add
encodeLongNames
,decodeLongNames
,DecodeLongNamesError
.
Improvements:
- Speed up
fromTarPath
,fromTarPathToPosixPath
andfromTarPathToWindowsPath
. - Alleviate leakage of file handles in
packFileEntry
. - Fix tests on 32-bit architectures.
