zip 2.3.1

• The zip shared library now hides its symbols (on platforms that support this), to avoid name clashes with other libraries (#98).

zip 2.3.0

• zip now handles large zip files on Windows (#65, #75, #79, @weshinsley).

• zip now behaves better for absolute paths in mirror mode, and when the paths contain a : character (#69, #70).

• zip::unzip() now uses the process’s umask value (see umask(2)) on Unix if the zip file does not contain Unix permissions (#67).

• Fix segmentation fault when zip file can’t be created (#91, @zeehio)

• Fix delayed evaluation error on zipfile when zip::zip() is used (#92, @zeehio)

• New deflate() and inflate() functions to compress and uncompress GZIP streams in memory.

zip 2.2.2

• No user visible changes.

zip 2.2.1

• No user visible changes.

2.2.0

• Header values (of version made by and external attributes) are now correctly read and written on big-endian systems (#68).

• zip_list() now also returns crc32 and offset (#74, @jefferis).

2.1.1

This version has no user visible changes.

2.1.0

• unzip_process() now does not fail randomly on Windows (#60).

• Now all functions handle Unicode paths correctly, on Windows as well (#42, #53).

• unzip_process() now works when R library is on different drive than exdir on Windows (#45)

• zip functions now have a mode argument to choose how files and directories are assembled into the archive. See the docs for details.

• zip functions now have a root argument, zip changes the working directory to this before creating the archive, so all files are relative to root.

• zip() and zip_append() are not deprecated any more, as it was hard to achieve the same functionality with the other zip functions.

2.0.4

• unzip_process() prints better error messages to the standard error, and exits with a non-zero status, on error.

2.0.3

• zipr() and zipr_append() get an include_directories = TRUE argument, that can be used to omit directory entries from the zip archive. These entries may cause problems in MS Office docx files (#34).

2.0.2

• zip_process() and unzip_process() can now pass extra arguments to processx::process (#32).

• unzip_process() now makes sure the exdir path is created with forward slashes on Windows, mixing forward and backward slashes can cause errors.

2.0.1

• zip() and zip_append() are now soft-deprecated, please use zipr() and zipr_append() instead.

2.0.0

• New zipr() and zipr_append(), they always store relative file names in the archive.

• New unzip() function for uncompressing zip archives.

• New zip_process() and unzip_process() functions to create or uncompress an archive in a background process.

• zip(), zipr(), zip_append() and zipr_append() all include directories in the archives, empty ones as well.

• zip(), zipr(), zip_append() and zipr_append() all add time stamps to the archive and zip_list() returns then in the timestamp column.

• zip(), zipr(), zip_append() and zipr_append() all add file and directory permissions to the archive on Unix systems, and zip_list() returns them in the permissions column.

• zip_list() now correctly reports the size of large files in the archive.

• Use miniz 2.0.8 internally.

1.0.0

First public release.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
