They allow to specify the type of an archive. This is usefull is the extension of the file doesn't reflect its real type. 1.0.0 2005-04-17 stable + Bug 4159 (PHP4 compatibility) + Bug 4165 (Better USTAR handling in tar files) + The package now use temporary files to reduce the amount of memory used when reading or writing large archives. The following indicates the current memory usage of the different reader / writers - Tar writer: constant memory usage - GZip writer: constant memory usage, temporary file - BZ2 writer: constant memory usage, temporary file - ZIP writer: size of the largest file written to the archive - Tar reader: constant memory usage - GZip reader: constant memory usage, temporary file - BZ2 reader: constant memory usage, temporary file - ZIP reader: size of the largest file read from the archive The temporary files are created in the current directory. Their name start with far, their extension is tmp. They are automatically deleted when the reader / writer is closed. 0.3.0 2005-04-08 beta + Bug 3894 + The File_Archive::read function does no longer take the optional source parameter A File_Archive::readSource function has been created that takes the source parameter + The mail parameter in File_Archive::toMail is now mandatory, but giving a null variable will result in using Mail::factory("mail") + The File_Archive::toMemory function does no longer take a variable argument A File_Archive::toVariable function has been created for that 0.2.0 2005-02-24 beta + Add a MIME predicate + Change the toArchive function to detect the compression format using the extension of the file (Warning: this is not backward compatible since the order of the arguments have changed) 0.1.0 2005-02-20 alpha First release
