2014-11-24   8:55  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* The following fixes resulted from Thomas Jarosch's fuzzing

2014-11-07  10:25  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* When printing strings from a file, convert them to printable
	  on a byte by byte basis, so that we don't get issues with
	  locale's trying to interpret random byte streams as UTF-8 and
	  having printf error out with EILSEQ.

2014-10-17  11:48  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* fix bounds in note reading (Francisco Alonso / Red Hat)

2014-10-11  15:02  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

2014-06-02  14:50  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Enforce limit of 8K on regex searches that have no limits
	* Allow the l modifier for regex to mean line count. Default
	  to byte count. If line count is specified, assume a max
	  of 80 characters per line to limit the byte count.
	* Don't allow conversions to be used for dates, allowing
	  the mask field to be used as an offset.

2014-05-30  12:51  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Make the range operator limit the length of the
	  regex search.

	* PR/351: Fix compilation of empty files

2014-04-30  17:39  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Fix integer formats: We don't specify 'l' or
	  'h' and 'hh' specifiers anymore, only 'll' for
	  quads and nothing for the rest. This is so that
	  magic writing is simpler.

2014-04-01  15:25  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* PR/341: Jan Kaluza, fix memory leak
	* PR/342: Jan Kaluza, fix out of bounds read

	  entries with no descriptions

	* adjust magic strength for regex type

	* remove superfluous ascmagic with encoding test

2014-03-06  12:01  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	  which printed "binary" instead of "application/octet-stream"

	* add size_t overflow check for magic file size

2014-02-27  16:01  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* experimental support for matching with CFD CLSID

2014-02-18  13:04  Kimmo Suominen ([email protected])

	* Cache old LC_CTYPE locale before setting it to "C", so
	  we can use it to restore LC_CTYPE instead of asking
	  setlocale() to scan the environment variables.

2014-02-12  18:21  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Count recursion levels through indirect magic

2014-02-11  10:40  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Prevent infinite recursion on files with indirect offsets of 0

2014-01-30  21:00  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Add -E flag that makes file print filesystem errors to stderr
	  and exit.

2014-01-08  17:20  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* mime printing could print results from multiple magic entries
	  if there were multiple matches.
	* in some cases overflow was not detected when computing offsets
	  in softmagic.

2013-12-05  12:00  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* use strcasestr() to for cdf strings
	* reset to the "C" locale while doing regex operations, or case
	  insensitive comparisons; this is provisional

2013-11-19  20:10  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* always leave magic file loaded, don't unload for magic_check, etc.
	* fix default encoding to binary instead of unknown which broke recently
	* handle empty and one byte files, less specially so that
	  --mime-encoding does not break completely.
		`
2013-11-06  14:40  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* fix erroneous non-zero exit code from non-existant file and message

2013-10-29  14:25  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* add CDF MSI file detection (Guy Helmer)

2013-09-03  11:56  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Don't mix errors and regular output if there was an error
	* in magic_descriptor() don't close the file and try to restore
	  its position

2013-05-30  17:25  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Don't treat magic as an error if offset was past EOF (Christoph Biedl)

2013-05-28  17:25  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Fix spacing issues in softmagic and elf (Jan Kaluza)

2013-05-02  18:00  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Fix segmentation fault with multiple magic_load commands.

2013-04-22  11:20  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* The way "default" was implemented was not very useful
	  because the "if something was printed at that level"
	  was not easily controlled by the user, and the format
	  was bound to a string which is too restrictive. Add
	  a "clear" for that level keyword and make "default"
	  void. This way one can do:

		>>13	clear	x
		>>13	lelong	1	foo
		>>13	lelong	2	bar
		>>13	default	x
		>>>13	lelong	x	unknown %x

2013-03-25  13:20  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

2013-01-11  14:50  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Warn about inconsistent continuation levels.
	* Change fsmagic to add a space after it prints.

2013-01-10  21:00  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Make getline public so that file can link against it.
	  Perhaps it is better to rename it, or hide it differently.
	  Fixes builds on platforms that do not provide it.

2013-01-07  16:30  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Add SuS d{,1,2,4,8}, u{,1,2,4,8} and document
	  what long, int, short, etc is (Guy Harris)

2013-01-06  11:20  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* add z and t modifiers for our own vasprintf
	* search for $HOME/.magic.mgc if it is there first
	* fix reads from a pipe, and preserve errno

2011-12-16  16:33  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	* Add magic for /usr/bin/env Perl scripts
	* Weaken generic script magic to avoid clashing with
	language-specific magic.

2011-12-08  13:37  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	* Simplify if (p) free(p) to free(p).

2011-12-08  13:07  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	* Remove hardwired token finding (names.h), turning it into soft
	magic. Patterns are either anchored regexs or search/8192. English
	language detection and PL/1 detection have been removed as they
	were too fragile. -e tokens is still accepted for backwards
	compatibility.
	* Move 3ds patterns (which are commented out anyway) into autodesk
	(they were, oddly, in c-lang).

2011-12-06  00:16  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	* Tweak strength of generic hash-bang detectors to be less than
	specific ones.
	* Make an inconsistent description of Python scripts consistent.

2011-12-05  23:58  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	* Python3 binding fixes from Kelly Anderson

2011-09-20  11:32  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* If a string type magic entry is marked as text or binary
	  only match text files against text entries and binary
	  files against binary entries.

2011-09-01  12:12  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Don't wait for any subprocess, just the one we forked.

2011-08-26  16:40  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Don't use variable string formats.

2011-07-12  12:32  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	* Fix detection of Zip files (Mantis #128).
	* Make some minor improvements to file(1).
	* Rename MIME types for filesystem objects for consistency with
	  xdg-utils. Typically this means that application/x-foo becomes
	  inode/foo, but some names also change slightly, e.g.
	  application/x-character-device becomes inode/chardevice.

2011-05-10  20:57  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* fix mingw compilation (Abradoks)

2011-05-10  20:57  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Fix cdf string buffer setting (Sven Anders)

2011-03-20  16:35  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Eliminate MAXPATHLEN and use dynamic allocation for
	  path and file buffers.

2011-03-15  18:15  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* binary tests on magic entries with masks could spuriously
	  get converted to ascii.

2011-03-12  18:06  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	* Improve file.man (remove BUGS, present email addresses consistently).

2011-03-07  19:38  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* add lrzip support (from Ville Skytta)

2011-02-10  16:36  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* fix CDF bounds checking (Guy Helmer)

2011-02-10  12:03  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* add cdf_ctime() that prints a meaningful error when time cannot
	  be converted.

2011-02-02  20:40  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* help and version output to stdout.

	* When matching softmagic for ascii files, don't just print
	  the softmagic classification, keep going and print the
	  text classification too. This fixes broken troff files when
	  we moved them from keyword recognition to softmagic
	  (they stopped printing "with CRLF" etc.)
	  Reported by Doug McIlroy.

2011-01-16  19:31  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	* magic/Makefile.am: make it easier to recover from magic build failures.
	* Fix pstring length specifier parsing to avoid generating invalid
	  magic files.
	* Add pstring length "J" (for "JPEG") to specify that the length
	  include itself.
	* Fix JPEG comment parsing at last using pstring/HJ!
	* Ignore section 5 man pages in doc/.cvsignore.

2010-12-22  13:12  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Add pstring/BHhLl to specify the type of the length of pascal
	  strings.

2010-11-26  18:39  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	* Fix "-e soft": it was ignored when softmagic was called
	  during asciimagic.

	  already been applied and are not Debian-specific.

2010-09-20  15:24  Reuben Thomas <[email protected]>

	  string as printf format).

2010-07-21  12:20  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* MINGW32 portability from LRN

	* Don't warn about escaping magic regex chars when we are in a regex.

		- make gcc2 builds file
		- fix typos in a magic file comment

2009-11-17  18:35  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* ctime/asctime can return NULL on some OS's although
	  they should not (Toshit Antani)

2009-09-14  13:49  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Combine overlapping epoc and psion magic files into one (epoc).

	* Add some more EPOC MIME types.

2009-08-19  15:55  Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Fix 3 bugs (From Ian Darwin):
	    - file_showstr could move one past the end of the array
	    - parse_apple did not nul terminate the string in the overflow case
	    - parse_mime truncated the wrong string in the overflow case

2009-08-12  12:28  Robert Byrnes  <[email protected]>

	  This work was done by Reuben Thomas

2007-05-24 10:00 Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Fix another integer overflow (Colin Percival)

2007-03-26 13:58 Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

2007-02-08 17:30 Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* fix integer underflow in file_printf which can lead to

2007-02-05 11:35 Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* make socket/pipe reading more robust

2007-01-25 16:01 Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Centralize all the tests in file_buffer.

	* Add exclude flag.

2007-01-18 05:29 Anon Ymous <[email protected]>

	* Move the "type" detection code from parse() into its own table
	  driven routine.  This avoids maintaining multiple lists in
	  file.h.

	* Add an optional conditional field (ust before the type field).
	  This code is wrapped in "#ifdef ENABLE_CONDITIONALS" as it is
	  likely to go away.

2007-01-16 23:24 Anon Ymous <[email protected]>

	* Fix an initialization bug in check_mem().

2007-01-16 14:58 Anon Ymous <[email protected]>

	* Add a "default" type to print a message if nothing previously
	  matched at that level or since the last default at that
	  level.  This is useful for setting up switch-like statements.
	  It can also be used to do if/else constructions without a
	  redundant second test.

	* Fix the "x" special case test so that one can test for that
	  string with "=x".

	* Allow "search" to search the entire buffer if the "/N"
	  search count is missing.

	* Make "regex" work!  It now starts its search at the
	  specified offset and takes an (optional) "/N" line count to
	  specify the search range; otherwise it searches to the end
	  of the file.  The match is now grabbed correctly for format
	  strings and the offset set to the end of the match.

	* Add a "/s" flag to "regex" and "search" to set the offset to
	  the start of the match.  By default the offset is set to the
	  end of the match, as it is with other tests.  This is mostly
	  useful for "regex".

	* Make "search", "string" and "pstring" use the same
	  file_strncmp() routine so that they support the same flags;
	  "bestring16" and "lestring16" call the same routine, but
	  with flags = 0.  Also add a "/C" flag (in analogy to "/c")
	  to ignore the case on uppercase (lowercase) characters in
	  the test string.

	* Strict adherence to C style string escapes.  A warnings are
	  printed when compiling.  Note: previously "\a" was
	  incorrectly translated to 'a' instead of an <alert> (i.e.,
	  BELL, typically 0x07).

	* Make this compile with "-Wall -Wextra" and all the warning
	  flags used with WARNS=4 in the NetBSD source.  Also make it
	  pass lint.

	* Many "cleanups" and hopefully not too many new bugs!

2007-01-16 14:56 Anon Ymous <[email protected]>

	* make several more files compile with gcc warnings
	  on and also make them pass lint.

	* store and print the line number of the magic
	  entry for debugging.

	* if the magic entry did not print anything,
	  don't treat it as a match

	* change the magic strength algorithm to take
	  into account the relationship op.

	* fix a bug in search where we could accidentally
	  return a match.

	* propagate the error return from match to
	  file_softmagic.

2006-11-25 13:35 Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

	* Don't store the current offset in the magic
	  struct, because it needs to be restored and
	  it was not done properly all the time. Bug
	  found by: Arkadiusz Miskiewicz

	* Fix problem in the '\0' separator; and don't
	  print it as an additional separator; print
	  it as the only separator.

2006-11-17 10:51 Christos Zoulas <[email protected]>

2005-01-12 00:00  Stepan Kasal  <[email protected]>

	* src/ascmagic.c (file_ascmagic): Fix three bugs about text files:
	  If a CRLF text file happens to have CR at offset HOWMANY - 1
	  (currently 0xffff), it should not be counted as CR line
	  terminator.
	  If a line has length exactly MAXLINELEN, it should not yet be
	  treated as a ``very long line'', as MAXLINELEN is ``longest sane
	  line length''.
	  With CRLF, the line length was not computed correctly, and even
	  lines of length MAXLINELEN - 1 were treated as ``very long''.

2004-12-07 14:15  Christos Zoulas  <[email protected]>

	  have access to it. <[email protected]>
