MiniZip64 - Copyright (c) 2009-2010 - Mathias Svensson - Built from MiniZip by Gilles Vollant | |
Introduction | |
--------------------- | |
MiniZip64 is built from MiniZip by Gilles Vollant ( http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/minizip.html ) | |
When adding ZIP64 support into minizip it would result into breaking compatibility with current minizip. | |
And since breaking compatibility in minizip is not wanted. I decided to create a fork of minizip | |
and create minizip64. | |
Even though MiniZip64 is build from MiniZip, all functions and struct's have changed name so that it | |
would not collide with each other. | |
Background | |
--------------------- | |
When adding ZIP64 support I found that Even Rouault have added ZIP64 support for unzip.c into minizip | |
for a open source project called gdal ( http://www.gdal.org/ ) | |
That was used as a starting point. And after that ZIP64 support was added to zip.c | |
some refactoring and code cleanup was also done. | |
Changed from MiniZip to MiniZip64 | |
------------------------------------- | |
* Filenames has got a '64' at the end of them . eg unzip.c is now called unzip64.c | |
* Added ZIP64 support for unzip ( by Even Rouault ) | |
* Added ZIP64 support for zip ( by Mathias Svensson ) | |
* Reverted some changed that Even Rouault did. | |
* Bunch of patches received from Gulles Vollant that he received for MiniZip from various users. | |
* Added unzip patch for BZIP Compression method (patch create by Daniel Borca) | |
* Added BZIP Compress method for zip | |
* Did some refactoring and code cleanup | |
