-Nov 08, 2008: libarchive 2.5.901 released
-Nov 07, 2008: Decompression refactor completed: The decompression
- routines have been simplified; they now consume and produce
- arbitrarily-sized blocks. The reblocking which used to be in
- read_support_compression_none() has been pulled into the read
- core. Of course, there are still some opportunities for
- eliminating common code across the decompressors, but this is
- a step in the right direction. This also changes the
- decompression bid to multi-pass so that archive_read now
- builds out a filter pipeline. This opens the door to
- automatic uudecode and decryption support. (I have some ideas
- for encryption support that I'd like to explore soon.)

+Nov 07, 2008: Read filter refactor: The decompression routines just
+ consume and produce arbitrarily-sized blocks. The reblocking
+ from read_support_compression_none() has been pulled into the

+Sep 17, 2008: Miklos Vajna: lzma reader and test. Note: I still have
some concerns about the auto-detection (LZMA file format
doesn't support auto-detection well), so this is not yet
enabled under archive_read_support_compression_all(). For
now, you must call archive_read_support_compression_lzma() if
you want LZMA read support.
-Oct 15, 2008: bsdtar and bsdcpio have custom command-line parsers now,
- so we now have consistent long-option support on all platforms.

+Jul 26, 2008: archive_entry now tracks which values have not been set.
+ This helps zip extraction (file size is often "unknown") and
+ time restores (tar usually doesn't know atime).
