file/ChangeLog

2012-02-20  17:33  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

	* Fix CDF parsing issues found by CERT's fuzzing tool (Will Dormann)

2011-12-15  12:17  Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

	* Support Tilera architectures (tile64, tilepro, tilegx).

2011-12-16  16:33  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

	* Add magic for /usr/bin/env Perl scripts
	* Weaken generic script magic to avoid clashing with
	language-specific magic.

2011-12-08  13:37  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

	* Simplify if (p) free(p) to free(p).

2011-12-08  13:07  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

	* Remove hardwired token finding (names.h), turning it into soft
	magic. Patterns are either anchored regexs or search/8192. English
	language detection and PL/1 detection have been removed as they
	were too fragile. -e tokens is still accepted for backwards
	compatibility.
	* Move 3ds patterns (which are commented out anyway) into autodesk
	(they were, oddly, in c-lang).

2011-12-06  00:16  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

	* Tweak strength of generic hash-bang detectors to be less than
	specific ones.

2011-09-22  12:57  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

	* Python3 binding fixes from Kelly Anderson

2011-09-20  11:32  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

	* If a string type magic entry is marked as text or binary
	  only match text files against text entries and binary
	  files against binary entries.

2011-09-01  12:12  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

	* Don't wait for any subprocess, just the one we forked.

2011-08-26  16:40  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

	  if it has a directory with the application name on it.

2011-07-12  12:32  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

	* Fix detection of Zip files (Mantis #128).
	* Make some minor improvements to file(1).
	* Rename MIME types for filesystem objects for consistency with
	  xdg-utils. Typically this means that application/x-foo becomes
	  inode/foo, but some names also change slightly, e.g.
	  application/x-character-device becomes inode/chardevice.

2011-05-10  20:57  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

	* fix mingw compilation (Abradoks)

	* Eliminate MAXPATHLEN and use dynamic allocation for
	  path and file buffers.

2011-03-15  18:15  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

	* binary tests on magic entries with masks could spuriously
	  get converted to ascii.

2011-03-12  18:06  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

	* Improve file.man (remove BUGS, present email addresses consistently).

	* add cdf_ctime() that prints a meaningful error when time cannot
	  be converted.

2011-02-02  20:40  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

	* help and version output to stdout.

	* When matching softmagic for ascii files, don't just print
	  the softmagic classification, keep going and print the
	  text classification too. This fixes broken troff files when
	  we moved them from keyword recognition to softmagic
	  (they stopped printing "with CRLF" etc.)
	  Reported by Doug McIlroy.

	* Fix pstring length specifier parsing to avoid generating invalid
	  magic files.
	* Add pstring length "J" (for "JPEG") to specify that the length

	  strings.

2007-02-08 17:30 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>

	* fix integer underflow in file_printf which can lead to
	  to exploitable heap overflow (Jean-Sebastien Guay-Lero)

2007-02-05 11:35 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>

	* make socket/pipe reading more robust

2007-01-25 16:01 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>

	* Centralize all the tests in file_buffer.

	* Add exclude flag.

2007-01-18 05:29 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>

	* Move the "type" detection code from parse() into its own table
	  driven routine.  This avoids maintaining multiple lists in
	  file.h.

	* Add an optional conditional field (ust before the type field).
	  This code is wrapped in "#ifdef ENABLE_CONDITIONALS" as it is
	  likely to go away.

2007-01-16 23:24 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>

	* Fix an initialization bug in check_mem().

2007-01-16 14:58 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>

	* Add a "default" type to print a message if nothing previously
	  matched at that level or since the last default at that
	  level.  This is useful for setting up switch-like statements.
	  It can also be used to do if/else constructions without a
	  redundant second test.

	* Fix the "x" special case test so that one can test for that
	  string with "=x".

	* Allow "search" to search the entire buffer if the "/N"
	  search count is missing.

	* Make "regex" work!  It now starts its search at the
	  specified offset and takes an (optional) "/N" line count to
	  specify the search range; otherwise it searches to the end
	  of the file.  The match is now grabbed correctly for format
	  strings and the offset set to the end of the match.

	* Add a "/s" flag to "regex" and "search" to set the offset to
	  the start of the match.  By default the offset is set to the
	  end of the match, as it is with other tests.  This is mostly
	  useful for "regex".

	* Make "search", "string" and "pstring" use the same
	  file_strncmp() routine so that they support the same flags;
	  "bestring16" and "lestring16" call the same routine, but
	  with flags = 0.  Also add a "/C" flag (in analogy to "/c")
	  to ignore the case on uppercase (lowercase) characters in
	  the test string.

	* Strict adherence to C style string escapes.  A warnings are
	  printed when compiling.  Note: previously "\a" was
	  incorrectly translated to 'a' instead of an <alert> (i.e.,
	  BELL, typically 0x07).

	* Make this compile with "-Wall -Wextra" and all the warning
	  flags used with WARNS=4 in the NetBSD source.  Also make it
	  pass lint.

	* Many "cleanups" and hopefully not too many new bugs!

2007-01-16 14:56 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>

	* make several more files compile with gcc warnings
	  on and also make them pass lint.

2005-01-12 00:00  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* src/ascmagic.c (file_ascmagic): Fix three bugs about text files:
	  If a CRLF text file happens to have CR at offset HOWMANY - 1
	  (currently 0xffff), it should not be counted as CR line
	  terminator.
	  If a line has length exactly MAXLINELEN, it should not yet be
	  treated as a ``very long line'', as MAXLINELEN is ``longest sane
	  line length''.
	  With CRLF, the line length was not computed correctly, and even
	  lines of length MAXLINELEN - 1 were treated as ``very long''.

2004-12-07 14:15  Christos Zoulas  <christos@astron.com>

	* bzip2 needs a lot of input buffer space on some files
	  before it can begin uncompressing. This makes file -z

	  have access to it. <christos@astron.com>
