The command-line options are deliberately very similar to those of GNU gzip, but they are not identical. DJGPP specific changes. ======================= - There are no user visible DJGPP specific changes compared with the previous version. If you are familiar with the previous version 1.0.5, you will be familiar with this one. Here is a verbatim extract of the CHANGES file: 1.0.6 (6 Sept 10) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Security fix for CVE-2010-0405. This was reported by Mikolaj Izdebski. For futher information about bzip2 please read the man pages. The man pages are the only ones that contain DJGPP specific information because they are the only one that can be remade with existing DJGPP tools. The author no longer uses the texinfo format; he has switched to xml and it is not possible to recreate pdf, ps and html formated documentation from the distributed xml file. Neitherless the original pdf, ps and html formated documentattion is supplied in the bz2-106d.zip archive. To run the scripts bzmore, bzdiff and bzgrep you will have to install the following DJGPP ports: difNNNb.zip, grepNNNb.zip and mktmpNNNb.zip where NNN stands for the latest version number. The port consists of four packages that have been compiled using stock djdev203 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2010-10-01): Bzip2 1.0.6 binaries, script and man formated documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2apps/bz2-106b.zip Bzip2 1.0.6 header and library: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2apps/bz2-106a.zip Bzip2 1.0.6 html, ps and pdf formated documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2apps/bz2-106d.zip Bzip2 1.0.6 source: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2apps/bz2-106s.zip For the convenience of the WinXP users the binaries has been produced a second time using the djdev204 beta library.
