Currently use only with tested "friendly" archives. - This is also related to usages of zziplib in virus detection - code which should better have a hardened library code. That does - also include inflate interface code to need the most testing. - -- the buffer reusage code was not strictly multithreading. It should - be fixed by now but it would be better to have an automatic test - routine to check reentrancy/multithreaded functionality. - -- Sligthly More documentation. With the generation of man pages and - multiple pages for the website, it does already look acceptable. - It should still get better of course - kinda newbie friendly *g* - -- Boris Schäling likes to open a zzip archive in memory. - -KNOWN PROBLEMS - -The win32 compilers need each a different config.h derivate that -matches both the headers shipped with the compiler and installed -with updates of the SDK. There is no autoconfigure on win32 as -that - unless you install some unix tools along. - -The sparc-sun-solaris2.* will utter warnings for "char subscript" -which is caused by isdigit() from ctype.h - this will NOT FIX as -it is only in the example source code and we want to keep those -lean and mean to make them easy to adopt by developers. - -The hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 did show spurious problems of making -shared libraries - this may well fix with an update of the -libtool package, the libtool 1.4 is dated 2001/04/24 - -There are reports of misaligned access to some zip fields that -I would guess to be on little-endian non-x86 platforms. The current -bytewise access of multibyte fields is targeted towards the -bigendian unix machines. The fix would need to go to fetch.h but -so far no response came about as that one could test a solution. - -There are spurious reports of users on win32 platforms that tell -of some problems with a specific zip file they have but it was -not possible so far to recreate an environment abroad to show -the problem too. One can not say if that is due some general -instability out of DLL hell, or if there is a bug hiding somewhere. -Please send all those zip files to the maintainer, perhaps it -can help to find the real cause (I doubt it is in zziplib, but..) - -Since lately the xml docbook tools have hardened the checks on the -input xml that is used for manpage generation. Interestingly the -resulting manpages are still okay but one should try to fixaway the -warnings as may be later the result would lead to garbage output -due more changes in the tools.
