12 * reset left bytes in the buffer (Dmitry V. Levin)

21 * fix exclude option (Dmitry V. Levin)

24
25 * fix integer underflow in file_printf which can lead to
26 to exploitable heap overflow (Jean-Sebastien Guay-Lero)
27
28 2007-02-05 11:35 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
29
30 * make socket/pipe reading more robust
31
32 2007-01-25 16:01 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
33
34 * Centralize all the tests in file_buffer.
35
36 * Add exclude flag.
37
38 2007-01-18 05:29 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
39
40 * Move the "type" detection code from parse() into its own table
41 driven routine. This avoids maintaining multiple lists in
42 file.h.
43
44 * Add an optional conditional field (ust before the type field).
45 This code is wrapped in "#ifdef ENABLE_CONDITIONALS" as it is
46 likely to go away.
47
48 2007-01-16 23:24 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
49
50 * Fix an initialization bug in check_mem().
51
52 2007-01-16 14:58 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
53
54 * Add a "default" type to print a message if nothing previously
55 matched at that level or since the last default at that
56 level. This is useful for setting up switch-like statements.
57 It can also be used to do if/else constructions without a
58 redundant second test.
59
60 * Fix the "x" special case test so that one can test for that
61 string with "=x".
62
63 * Allow "search" to search the entire buffer if the "/N"
64 search count is missing.
65
66 * Make "regex" work! It now starts its search at the
67 specified offset and takes an (optional) "/N" line count to
68 specify the search range; otherwise it searches to the end
69 of the file. The match is now grabbed correctly for format
70 strings and the offset set to the end of the match.
71
72 * Add a "/s" flag to "regex" and "search" to set the offset to
73 the start of the match. By default the offset is set to the
74 end of the match, as it is with other tests. This is mostly
75 useful for "regex".
76
77 * Make "search", "string" and "pstring" use the same
78 file_strncmp() routine so that they support the same flags;
79 "bestring16" and "lestring16" call the same routine, but
80 with flags = 0. Also add a "/C" flag (in analogy to "/c")
81 to ignore the case on uppercase (lowercase) characters in
82 the test string.
83
84 * Strict adherence to C style string escapes. A warnings are
85 printed when compiling. Note: previously "\a" was
86 incorrectly translated to 'a' instead of an <alert> (i.e.,
87 BELL, typically 0x07).
88
89 * Make this compile with "-Wall -Wextra" and all the warning
90 flags used with WARNS=4 in the NetBSD source. Also make it
91 pass lint.
92
93 * Many "cleanups" and hopefully not too many new bugs!
94
95 2007-01-16 14:56 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
96
97 * make several more files compile with gcc warnings
98 on and also make them pass lint.
99
100 2007-01-16 14:54 Anon Ymous <do@not.spam.me>
101
102 * fix a puts()/putc() usage goof in file.c
103
104 * make file.c compile with gcc warnings and pass lint
105
106 2006-12-11 16:49 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
107
108 * fix byteswapping issue
109
110 * report the number of bytes we tried to
111 allocate when allocation fails
112
113 * add a few missed cases in the strength routine
114
115 2006-12-08 16:32 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
116
117 * store and print the line number of the magic
118 entry for debugging.
119
120 * if the magic entry did not print anything,
121 don't treat it as a match
122
123 * change the magic strength algorithm to take
124 into account the relationship op.
125
126 * fix a bug in search where we could accidentally
127 return a match.
128
129 * propagate the error return from match to
130 file_softmagic.
131
132 2006-11-25 13:35 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
133
134 * Don't store the current offset in the magic
135 struct, because it needs to be restored and
136 it was not done properly all the time. Bug
137 found by: Arkadiusz Miskiewicz
138
139 * Fix problem in the '\0' separator; and don't
140 print it as an additional separator; print
141 it as the only separator.
142
143 2006-11-17 10:51 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
144
145 * Added a -0 option to print a '\0' separator

270
271 2005-01-12 00:00 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
272
273 * src/ascmagic.c (file_ascmagic): Fix three bugs about text files:
274 If a CRLF text file happens to have CR at offset HOWMANY - 1
275 (currently 0xffff), it should not be counted as CR line
276 terminator.
277 If a line has length exactly MAXLINELEN, it should not yet be
278 treated as a ``very long line'', as MAXLINELEN is ``longest sane
279 line length''.
280 With CRLF, the line length was not computed correctly, and even
281 lines of length MAXLINELEN - 1 were treated as ``very long''.
282
283 2004-12-07 14:15 Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
