Running over a large directory of chm + files, about 1% of them turned out to be unreadable. This resulted from + an incomplete understanding of one of the header fields (index_root). + Apparently, this can take negative values other than -1. + + - Security fix for extract_chmLib. Pathnames containing a ".." element + will not be extracted. There doesn't seem to be a legitimate reason to + use ".." as a path element in a chm file. + +Changes from 0.36 to 0.37 + - Major security fix for stack overflow vulnerability: + http://www.sven-tantau.de/public_files/chmlib/chmlib_20051126.txt + - Corrected the broken Makefile.in. + +Changes from 0.35 to 0.36 + - Major security fix (iDEFENSE Security Advisory IDEF1099 - Stack Overflow + Vulnerability) + - Major security fix from Palasik Sandor (LZX decompression buffer overrun) + - Bugfix/enhancement from David Huseby to make the "what" flags to + chm_enumerate work correctly, and to pass the flags along to the callback + function (via the chmUnitInfo structure) so that the callback doesn't + need to re-parse the filename. + - Compilation fixes for x86-64 from Vitaly V. Bursov. + - Miscellaneous fixes to the configure script, including some significant + cleanup by Vadim Zeitlin. The changes from Vadim should also allow the + configure script to correctly configure the build on OS X, where it was + previously failing to note that pread64 doesn't work. + - Minor update to the Makefile.in to do a mkdir before the install, in case + the specified INSTALLPREFIX directory is non-existent + +Changes from 0.32 to 0.35 + - UTF-8 filenames, while still not handled correctly, are handled a little + more gracefully. That is to say, the library doesn't fail to open files + with filenames using characters outside the ASCII subset. I'm very + interested in any information as to the "right" way to handle filenames + of this sort. + - Files not containing a compressed section are handled properly, such as + .chw files. These files seem to contain information about compression, + but the information is invalid or empty. The library deals gracefully + with this now. + - Files compressed with different options were not being decompressed + properly. In particular, if the "reset interval" for the compressed + section was other than 2 block sizes, it could fail to read some of the + files. + - The caching system was improved slightly, in conjunction with this + previous bugfix. + +Changes from 0.3 to 0.32: + - [Rich Erwin] Minor portability fixes for Windows CE. + - [Pabs] Minor bugfix regarding detecting directory entries versus empty files. + - [Antony Dovgal] autoconf-based build process + - [Ragnar Hojland Espinosa] Feature additions for chm_http: + * Use SO_REUSEADDR + * Allow --bind= and --port= command line arguments + - Simple makefile has been fixed (finally) to use gcc instead of gcc-3.2. (Sorry, everybody!) + +Changes from 0.2 to 0.3: + + - initial attempt at portability to Win32. + - bugfixes from Stan Tobias: + * memory corruption error with caching system + * case insensitivity, to match with the Windows semantics + - modification to chm_http by Stan Tobias: + * when the user requests the page '/', they get a page with links to + all of the files in the archive + - Andrew Hodgetts has ported the library to Solaris and Irix. See README for details. + - Stuart Caie has granted permission to relicense under the LGPL. |
