5
2.61.01 08/11/1998 First alpha version. Minimal functionality.
6
2.61.02 09/11/1998 Environment filtering to avoid near memory shortage,
7
long filenames are no longer converted to uppercase.
8
2.61.03 11/11/1998 ANSI comments now supported; some minor bugfixes.
9

14
aimed on ARJSFXV conversion...
15
2.61.06 15/11/1998 Fixed a glitch with "arj m ..." creating ARJSFXV
16
archives. Note that if no files are found, "arj m"
17
leaves a temporary file. It's the glitch of original
18
ARJ 2.61, and it's left for compatibility.
19
ARJSFXV: Minimal functionality achieved (no LFN yet).
20
2.61.07 16/11/1998 ARJSFX: Minimal functionality achieved.
21
ARJSFXV: Shareware limitation still intact. Removed.
22
2.61.08 17/11/1998 ARJSFX: "1 error(s)" due to rudimentary CRC check.

2.61.11 26/11/1998 ARJ/2 2.61.10 would cause exception 0Dh if ARJ$DISP
26
is killed from the task list. The "clear screen" ANSI
27
sequence now works.
28
2.61.12 06/12/1998 "ARJ M" fixup, code size decreased.

2.62.03 12/01/1999 ARJ/2 v 2.62 crashed under Windows NT when creating
35
directories. ARJSFX/ARJSFXV might come into loop on
36
some LFN archives. ARJ/2 might crash if LFN goes
37
beyond 131 chars.
38
2.62.04 24/02/1999 Various problems with ANSI comments were fixed. Some

286
platform.
287
2.78.08 07/02/2003 Install into /usr/local by default on UNIX-like
288
platforms. Determine the number of lines on screen
289
for -jp where possible (DOS, OS/2 VIO and Win32).
290
Experimental color output in a JAR style:
291
1. "-*2" gets obsoleted. "-*1" designates a "silent"
292
mode (all error msgs suppressed), "-*" stands for
293
the "normal" mode (error msgs still displayed).
294
2. ARJ has "-2t" switch to set the colors. "-2t" alone
295
will disable the color support; "- -2t" in ARJ.CFG
296
is recommended to turn it off for all commands.

305
the screen. Added hardlink to symlink conversion.
306
Removed counter granularity (actually, it's 26624 now
307
in the most cases instead of 40960). Added the "-2r"
308
parameter to revert to the "standard" unarchiving order.
309
2.78.10 03/04/2003 Workaround for stack/near memory shortage in 16-bit
310
versions.
311

312
Fixed stack overrun during directory recursion in
313
32-bit OS/2 (except EMX).
314
2.78.12 12/04/2003 Fixed a possible incompatibility with mainstream ARJ
315
when using the "-hg" or "-hg!" encryption.
316
2.78.13 11/05/2003 Revised build and packaging on GNU systems after a
317
patch from Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>:
318
* The build system honours DESTDIR, so our packaging
319
is easier.
320
* Updated configure.in.
321
* The arjcrypt module is moved to its own dir under
322
$libdir ($pkglibdir).
323
* The join program now return proper exit codes. It
324
was causing the autobuilders to fail on some
325
architectures.
326
* Man pages provided.
327
* The rearj.cfg.example now supplies the correct
328
bzip2 options.

Changed the OS/2 version to use the same canonical
330
wildcard matching logic as the Win32 one.
331
Fixed "-jp" being inoperable (regression from
332
2.78.08). Fixed the unintentional fallback to
333
ARJCRYPT V1 when ARJCRYPT V2 ought to be used.
334
Displays the safety factor in ARJ-PROTECT notice.
335
Fixed the "arj o" command (regression from 2.62.08).
336
2.78.14 14/05/2003 Fixed REARJ terminating with an error when the
337
configuration file is padded with blank lines.
338
2.78.15 30/06/2003 Fixed the "-i" overall progress indicators to not
339
count the skipped files. Fixed "double skip" with
340
"-2b" when the first file to be skipped was
341
surrounded by symlinks. Fixed to ignore symlink
342
access attributes. Workaround for EA size query
343
during extraction on OS/2-32. Fixed various problems
344
with updating extended headers (regression from
345
2.77.01).
346
2.78.16 15/07/2003 Added "-2o2" to save a symbolic representation of
347
both UID and GID when archiving.
348
2.78.17 14/09/2003 Skip changing the archive attributes under UNIX.
349
Optimized the progress counter performance by
350
avoiding unnecessary output.
351
2.78.18 16/10/2003 Re-fix the attributes patch for 2.78.17 to make
352
the SFX attributes correspond to the current
353
umask.
354
2.78.19 21/02/2004 Do not ask for pause when "arj -?" is redirected.
355
"-t1g" replaces the non-trivial "-t1gf". Bell is
356
handled correctly with the new console output.
357
Corrected lookup for arjcrypt.so on UNIX-like
358
platforms (regression from 2.78.13). Archiving
359
with "-2l" on platforms without EA support would
360
produce malformed filenames. Added the "-_" option
361
to store/restore filenames in lowercase.
362
2.78.20 18/04/2004 Prevent the -jz comments from being automatically
363
appended with newline. "-jb" failed to pick the
364
requested chapters (regression from 2.62.08).
365
2.78.21 18/06/2004 Registration wizard reported error on many
366
platforms (regression from 2.78.15). Fixed OEM/ANSI
367
discrepancies that showed up in Win32 version when
368
obtaining filenames from argv[]. Copying temporary
369
files with "-jt" enabled might result in a
370
"CRC error". Added "-2i". Introduced new modifiers
371
(G/T/P/E) and hexadecimal prefix format to numeric
372
parameters. Fixed the inability to sustain binary
373
mode for "arj p" under OS/2-32.
