12012-02-20  17:33  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
2
3	* Fix CDF parsing issues found by CERT's fuzzing tool (Will Dormann)
4
52011-12-15  12:17  Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
6
7	* Support Tilera architectures (tile64, tilepro, tilegx).
8
92011-12-16  16:33  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
10
11	* Add magic for /usr/bin/env Perl scripts
12	* Weaken generic script magic to avoid clashing with
13	language-specific magic.
14
152011-12-08  13:37  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
16
17	* Simplify if (p) free(p) to free(p).
18
192011-12-08  13:07  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
20
21	* Remove hardwired token finding (names.h), turning it into soft
22	magic. Patterns are either anchored regexs or search/8192. English
23	language detection and PL/1 detection have been removed as they
24	were too fragile. -e tokens is still accepted for backwards
25	compatibility.
26	* Move 3ds patterns (which are commented out anyway) into autodesk
27	(they were, oddly, in c-lang).
28
292011-12-06  00:16  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
30
31	* Tweak strength of generic hash-bang detectors to be less than
32	specific ones.

38
392011-11-05  00:00  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

44
45	* Python3 binding fixes from Kelly Anderson
46
472011-09-20  11:32  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

50	  only match text files against text entries and binary
51	  files against binary entries.
52
532011-09-01  12:12  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
54
55	* Don't wait for any subprocess, just the one we forked.
56
572011-08-26  16:40  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

60	  if it has a directory with the application name on it.
61
622011-08-17  14:32  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

71
72	* Fix detection of Zip files (Mantis #128).
73	* Make some minor improvements to file(1).
74	* Rename MIME types for filesystem objects for consistency with
75	  xdg-utils. Typically this means that application/x-foo becomes
76	  inode/foo, but some names also change slightly, e.g.
77	  application/x-character-device becomes inode/chardevice.
78
792011-05-10  20:57  Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>

123
124	* When matching softmagic for ascii files, don't just print
125	  the softmagic classification, keep going and print the
126	  text classification too. This fixes broken troff files when
127	  we moved them from keyword recognition to softmagic
128	  (they stopped printing "with CRLF" etc.)
129	  Reported by Doug McIlroy.
130
1312011-01-16  19:31  Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>

548	  ELF core file command name/line bug fixes and enhancements:
549

706	* Add exclude flag.
707
7082007-01-18 05:29 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
709
710	* Move the "type" detection code from parse() into its own table
711	  driven routine.  This avoids maintaining multiple lists in
712	  file.h.
713
714	* Add an optional conditional field (ust before the type field).
715	  This code is wrapped in "#ifdef ENABLE_CONDITIONALS" as it is
716	  likely to go away.
717
7182007-01-16 23:24 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
719
720	* Fix an initialization bug in check_mem().
721
7222007-01-16 14:58 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
723
724	* Add a "default" type to print a message if nothing previously
725	  matched at that level or since the last default at that
726	  level.  This is useful for setting up switch-like statements.
727	  It can also be used to do if/else constructions without a
728	  redundant second test.
729
730	* Fix the "x" special case test so that one can test for that
731	  string with "=x".
732
733	* Allow "search" to search the entire buffer if the "/N"
734	  search count is missing.
735
736	* Make "regex" work!  It now starts its search at the
737	  specified offset and takes an (optional) "/N" line count to
738	  specify the search range; otherwise it searches to the end
739	  of the file.  The match is now grabbed correctly for format
740	  strings and the offset set to the end of the match.
741
742	* Add a "/s" flag to "regex" and "search" to set the offset to
743	  the start of the match.  By default the offset is set to the
744	  end of the match, as it is with other tests.  This is mostly
745	  useful for "regex".
746
747	* Make "search", "string" and "pstring" use the same
748	  file_strncmp() routine so that they support the same flags;
749	  "bestring16" and "lestring16" call the same routine, but
750	  with flags = 0.  Also add a "/C" flag (in analogy to "/c")
751	  to ignore the case on uppercase (lowercase) characters in
752	  the test string.
753
754	* Strict adherence to C style string escapes.  A warnings are
755	  printed when compiling.  Note: previously "\a" was
756	  incorrectly translated to 'a' instead of an <alert> (i.e.,
757	  BELL, typically 0x07).
758
759	* Make this compile with "-Wall -Wextra" and all the warning
760	  flags used with WARNS=4 in the NetBSD source.  Also make it
761	  pass lint.
762
763	* Many "cleanups" and hopefully not too many new bugs!
764
7652007-01-16 14:56 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
766
767	* make several more files compile with gcc warnings
768	  on and also make them pass lint.
769
7702007-01-16 14:54 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>

795
796	* fix a bug in search where we could accidentally

8022006-11-25 13:35 Christos Zoulas <christos@astron.com>

807	  found by: Arkadiusz Miskiewicz
808

9412005-01-12 00:00  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>
942
943	* src/ascmagic.c (file_ascmagic): Fix three bugs about text files:
944	  If a CRLF text file happens to have CR at offset HOWMANY - 1
945	  (currently 0xffff), it should not be counted as CR line
946	  terminator.
947	  If a line has length exactly MAXLINELEN, it should not yet be
948	  treated as a ``very long line'', as MAXLINELEN is ``longest sane
949	  line length''.
950	  With CRLF, the line length was not computed correctly, and even
951	  lines of length MAXLINELEN - 1 were treated as ``very long''.
