| Release version 0.7 with the following changes: |
| * Fix a case in which VarintBE::Parse would read off the end of available |
| input if the variable-length integer began with leading zero bytes |
| with their continuation bits set (0x80 bytes.) |
| * Define std::string as string only within namespaces and class definitions |
| in case there is a string class defined at the outermost scope. If that |
| is the case, the HAS_GLOBAL_STRING label should be defined manually. |
| * Update with changes to gflags package as of 2009/07/23. |

| |
| Release version 0.6 with the following changes: |
| * Issue #9: Add option to optimize VCDIFF decoder when VCD_TARGET will not be |
| used as source segment. |
| Add new interface SetAllowVcdTarget to control whether the VCD_TARGET flag |
| may be used. If this option is set to false and the decoder finds a |
| VCD_TARGET flag, it will issue an error and refuse to continue decoding. |
| * Issue #19: ERROR: Length of target window (100001916) exceeds limit of |
| 67108864 bytes |
| Remove the limit of INT32_MAX on the value of --max_target_file_size, since |
| the new SetAllowVcdTarget feature means that the entire target file will not |
| need to be kept in memory. Separate vcdecoder_test into five test targets, |
| one of which is devoted to the new SetAllowVcdTarget feature. Get rid of |
| kMaxBufferSize and kDefaultBufferSize, which were used ambiguously. A new |
| constant kDefaultMaxTargetSize provides the default values for the |
| --max_target_file_size and --max_target_window_size options. The |
| --buffersize option, if specified, should control the buffer size used, |
| without limits on its value. |
| * Issue #21: Fail to test on MinGW 5.1.4 |
| The wrapper executables produced by libtool failed on MinGW with the error |
| "File /bin/sh not found". Add the option AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL to avoid |
| creating wrapper executables. The option implies an extra link step during |
| "make install", but the package is small enough that this does not take |
| long. |
| * Remove the annotated-output feature from the decoder. |
| * Automatically detect and work around a Solaris 10 bug which causes the error |
| "libstdc++.la is not a valid libtool archive". |
| http://whocares.de/2006/05/solaris-10-fixup-for-libstdcla-is-not-a-valid-libtool-archive/ |
| * Update with latest changes to gflags package. |
| * Fix type-conversion warning in vcdiff_main.cc in 32-bit Visual Studio build. |

| |
| * Issue #14: HashedDictionary may free memory twice if implicitly copied. |
| * Add private copy constructor and assignment operator for HashedDictionary. |
| * Issue #18: Building RPM package fails on Fedora 9: Installed (but |
| unpackaged) file vcdiff.1.gz. |
| * Some OS, including Fedora 9, automatically compress man pages that are |
| installed using /usr/bin/install. This confuses the RPM packager, which |
| expects a file named "vcdiff.1" and finds one named "vcdiff.1.gz" instead. |
| Use a wild-card character to accept either of these two alternatives. |
| * Change the VCDIFF block size to 16, but have the encoder discard all matches |
| smaller than 32 bytes. This doubles the CPU and memory needed by the |
| encoder, but finds better string matches, producing a more efficient |
| encoding. Loosen the timing test limit in blockhash_test.cc for the debug |
| build only. |
| * Make the code table writer a virtual interface. |
| * Add an interface SetTargetMatching() to the simple encoder class |
| VCDEncoder. |
| * Remove all references to LOG and logging.h from the unit tests and |
| command-line client. |
| * Remove all special cases for kBlockSize < 4. kBlockSize must be a multiple |
| of the machine word size (see blockhash.cc), so it will never be smaller |
| than 4. |
| * Use version 1.10 of Automake. |
| * Incorporate recent changes to gflags package |
| (http://code.google.com/p/google-gflags/) |
| * Fix Visual Studio type-mismatch warning in vcdecoder4_test.cc. |
| * Use address cache helper functions IsSameMode(), IsHereMode(), etc. to |
| simplify test code. |
| * Add contributor's name to THANKS file. |

| |
| * Issue #6: vcdiff crashes with zero-size dictionary |
| * Add special cases for empty dictionary file in vcdiff_main.cc. |
| * Issue #7: vcdiff incorrect binary I/O on Windows |
| * Change stdin/stdout file type to binary in vcdiff_main.cc. |
| * Issue #13: Add unit test for vcdiff command-line executable |
| * Unit test vcdiff_test.bat added for Visual Studio testing of vcdiff.exe. |
| Includes regression tests for issues #6 and #7. |
| * Issue #15: open-vcdiff fails to compile on Fedora 9 |
| * Apply patch sent by Daniel Kegel |
| * Add header <string.h> to src/vcdiffengine.cc, which uses memcpy. |
| * Remove const qualifier from integral return types to fix gcc 4.3.1 |
| warning. |
| * Add contributors' names to THANKS file. |

| |
| * Issue #15: open-vcdiff fails to compile on Fedora 9 |
| * Add header <string.h> to source files that use memcmp, memset, memcpy, |
| and/or strlen. |
| * Change C++-style includes like <cstdlib> to C-style includes like |
| <stdlib.h> so that function names are guaranteed to be defined |
| in the global namespace. |
| * Issue #8: Decoder should not crash if it runs out of memory |
| * Add a new interface that places a limit on the maximum bytes allowed in |
| a single target window or a target file. |
| * Issue #13: Add unit test for vcdiff command-line executable |
| * Unit test vcdiff_test.sh added for Linux and Mac builds. |
| * Still need to add a Windows version of this test. |

| |
| * Fix problems found on OpenBSD platform. |
| * Issue #1: vcdiff command-line executable crashes on startup. |
| This was a problem with the stub intended to replace pthread_once if the |
| package was not linked with the pthreads library. Simplify gflags.cc to |
| assume single-threaded execution. |
| * Issue #2: Unit test blockhash_test fails. |
| Define VCDIFF_USE_BLOCK_COMPARE_WORDS for BSD platforms to ensure that |
| the most efficient version of memcmp is used in the encoder's inner loop. |
| * Fix compilation warnings in gtest-filepath.cc: "warning: missing |
| initializer for member 'stat::...'" |

| |
| * open-vcdiff: initial release: |
| The open-vcdiff package provides an encoder and decoder for the VCDIFF format |
| described in RFC 3284 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3284.txt). |
