• Major feature enhancements

Release Notes: This release discontinues the patches to GNU tar to enable extracting from corrupt tar files in favor of using GNU cpio out of the box which does the same job better. The gzip recovery program is identical with previous releases.

• Major bugfixes

Release Notes: This release contains two principal updates. First, a change was made in the read strategy in gzrecover. Previously, the corrupted gzip data extractor program relied on mmap(2) to read files. This has been changed to a buffered read strategy which should allow support for any sized file as well as platforms that don't allow files to be memory mapped. Files sizes up to 168GB have been tested. Second, the license on gzrecover has been switched from the zlib license (a BSD variant) to the GPL.
