From christos at zoulas.com Mon Mar 12 00:28:12 2001 From: christos at zoulas.com (Christos Zoulas) Date: Sat Mar 5 00:36:55 2005 Subject: file-3.34 is now available Message-ID: This version has a lot of magic fixes, plus a new experimental compiled magic format, that eliminates startup delay on parsing. This format is designed to work on both big and little endian machines, so that the same compiled file can be shared between machines of different endianness. I also thought about sorting the magic entries by offset and alphabetically and abort the search once a match is found, but due to the complexity of the magic tests this proved to be impossible. I welcome any ideas. Please send me feedback if you find any problems. christos From christos at zoulas.com Tue Apr 24 10:44:18 2001 From: christos at zoulas.com (Christos Zoulas) Date: Sat Mar 5 00:36:55 2005 Subject: file-3.35 is now available Message-ID: - rename magic file sgi to mips and fix it - add support for building magic.mgc - portability fixes for mmap() - try gzip before uncompress, because uncompress sometimes hangs - be more conservative about pipe reads and writes - many magic fixes christos From christos at zoulas.com Sun Jul 22 17:08:20 2001 From: christos at zoulas.com (Christos Zoulas) Date: Sat Mar 5 00:36:55 2005 Subject: file-3.36 is now available Message-ID: On ftp.astron.com:/pub/file/file-3.36.tar.gz - magic fixes - add new operators, pascal strings, UTC date printing, $HOME/.magic [from "Tom N Harris" ] Enjoy, christos From christos at zoulas.com Mon Sep 3 10:50:05 2001 From: christos at zoulas.com (Christos Zoulas) Date: Sat Mar 5 00:36:55 2005 Subject: file-3.37 is now available Message-ID: Hi, File 3.37 fixes: - daylight/tm_isdst detection - magic fixes - don't eat the whole file if it has only nulls on ftp.astron.com:/pub/file/file-3.37.tar.gz christos From kim at tac.nyc.ny.us Wed Sep 5 20:57:29 2001 From: kim at tac.nyc.ny.us (Kimmo Suominen) Date: Sat Mar 5 00:36:55 2005 Subject: file-3.37 is now available Message-ID: The mirrors have also picked up the new version: ftp://ftp.gw.com/pub/unix/file/ ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/tools/file/ + Kim | From: christos@zoulas.com (Christos Zoulas) | Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2001 10:50:05 -0400 | | Hi, | | File 3.37 fixes: | | - daylight/tm_isdst detection | - magic fixes | - don't eat the whole file if it has only nulls | | on ftp.astron.com:/pub/file/file-3.37.tar.gz | | christos |
