Changelog for libphysfs-devel-3.0.1-187.1.x86_64.rpm :
Tue Dec 11 13:00:00 2018 buckyballreactionAATTgmail.com
- Add physfs-empty_dir_fix.patch (hg a29fef4a20fd, fixes creation
of empty files when a directory doesn\'t exist)
- Removed physfs-gcc7.patch (fixed in upstream)

Mon Dec 10 13:00:00 2018 buckyballreactionAATTgmail.com
- Notable changes in 3.0.1:

* Trying to use the new mount functions (PHYSFS_mountIo,
PHYSFS_mountMemory, PHYSFS_mountHandle) with a NULL filename
would cause several problems. This now reports an error without
mounting. Docs have been corrected to reflect this reality.

* Trying to mounting an archive inside a .zip file with
PHYSFS_mountHandle() would crash with a NULL pointer
dereference. Fixed.

* Trying to access a file in the search path named \".\" or
\"..\" no longer succeeds. Previously, this bug meant you could
enumerate (but not access) files in the parent of a mounted
native directory. Trying to open \".\" or \"..\" might have crashed
or hung PhysicsFS. This only applies to the literal string \".\"
or \"..\"; if there was a \'/\' char in the path, PhysicsFS would
correctly reject a path with an element named as such.

* Trying to mount a symlink to a directory would
(incorrectly) fail on Unix and Apple platforms instead of
mounting the directory the symlink points to. Fixed.

* Fixed several crashes/hangs that a maliciously-crafted .iso
file could trigger.
- Notable changes in 3.0.0:

* PhysicsFS now is super-easy to build. You can usually just
drop all the C files into your project and compile it with
everything else without any magic configuration step. The CMake
file is still there and useful for packaging, etc, but it\'s
100% optional.

* ZIP files can now use the newer zip64 format.

* ZIP files may be password-protected. As the PkWare specs
specify, each file in the .zip may have a different password,
so you call PHYSFS_openRead(a, \"file_that_i_want.txt$PASSWORD\")
to make it work. Note that this is a wildly insecure way to
protect your app\'s data, both in how you\'d have to manage
passwords and that \"traditional\" PkWare crypto is not really
hardened anyhow. But if you have a basic password-protected
archive, PhysicsFS can get into it now!

* 7zip support has been rewritten and improved.

* ISO9660 archives are now supported.

* VDF (Gothic/Gothic2) archives are now supported.

* SLB (Independence War) archives are now supported.

* Everything behind the scenes now uses an abstract i/o
interface (PHYSFS_Io) instead of talking directly to files, and
this interface is available to applications. This allows you to
mount anything as an archive that you can wrap in a PHYSFS_Io,
through the new PHYSFS_mountIo() function. The obvious and most
useful implementations are already implemented for you behind
the scenes on top of PHYSFS_Io: PHYSFS_mountMemory() to mount
an archive that\'s in a block of RAM, and PHYSFS_mountHandle()
to mount from a PHYSFS_File
*...that is to say: you now have an
interface to do archives inside archives.

* The abstract interface that PhysicsFS uses to talk to
archives (PHYSFS_Archiver) is now public, so apps can implement
their own archivers and register them into the system. If you
have a custom archive format for your app, you can plug it into
PhysicsFS at runtime without modifying PhysicsFS itself.

* There\'s now a PHYSFS_getPrefDir() to figure out where it is
safe to write files on a given platform. This is usually a
per-user, per-application space, and should be used instead of
PHYSFS_getUserDir(). It might report something under
~/Library/Application Support on a Mac, somewhere under AppData
for Windows, or ~/.local/share on Linux, etc.

* There\'s now a PHYSFS_unmount() to match 2.0.0\'s
PHYSFS_mount().

* There\'s now a PHYSFS_utf8FromUtf16(), so stop using
PHYSFS_utf8FromUcs2(). :)

* There\'s now PHYSFS_utf8stricmp() for case-insensitive UTF-8
string comparison, in case you need to compare filenames.

* Enumerating files can now report errors, instead of quietly
dropping files when there were problems. Enumeration callbacks
can now return results too (\"keep going\", \"stop enumerating, no
error I just got what I needed\", \"something went wrong, stop
and return an error to the app\").

* There is now a PHYSFS_stat() call that returns metadata on
a specific file as a whole instead of using
PHYSFS_isDirectory(), PHYSFS_getLastModTime(), etc
separately).

* There\'s now a PHYSFS_readBytes() function that operates
more like Unix read()...the older PHYSFS_read() operates more
like ANSI C\'s fread(), but had undefined behavior if it reads
half an object. There is also an equivalent
PHYSFS_writeBytes().

* Errors are now reported by numeric codes your app can
process (there\'s a function to turn them into human readable
strings). Apps can set the per-thread error code now, too,
which is useful if you\'re writing an PHYSFS_Archiver or
PHYSFS_Io.

* The OS/2 port has Unicode support now.

* The Windows port now uses UTF-16 for Unicode instead of
UCS-2, and dropped the ANSI fallbacks (so among other hurdles,
you\'ll need to bring your own UNICOWS.DLL if you want Win95
support still).

* Lots of improvements, redesigns, bug fixes, corner cases,
and optimizations.

* There\'s now a buildbot that makes sure this builds across
two dozen different targets on every commit:
https://physfs-buildbot.icculus.org/waterfall

* New platforms: iOS, Android, Emscripten, WinRT (UWP,
Windows Phone, Windows Store), Win64, QNX, Solaris, Hurd,
Debian/kFreeBSD, ArcaOS, probably others.

* Dropped platforms: BeOS (Haiku is still supported), Windows
CE (Windows Phone is supported), Windows 95/98/ME (WinXP and
later are supported) MacOS Classic (macOS and iOS are
supported). Even these might work with minor patches if there\'s
an urgent demand.

* Probably many other things. This work encompasses many
years of effort and quite a bit of internal redesign.
