deco

deco is an open source generic archive file extractor application that features a consistent command-line interface, as well as consistent behavior.

deco creates an extraction folder if there is more than one file or directory at the top level of the archive, and it is able to repair weird permissions.

What is new in this release:

• A crash when handling archive formats that always extract to a subdirectory was fixed.
• A grammatical mistake in the usage message and a (still) misleading error message was corrected.
• Minor code cleanup and optimization.
• The compiler optimization level was set to -O2 instead of -O1 in the default cflags.

What is new in version 1.6.2:

• Compile with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 so that files of 2 GiB or larger can be extracted on platforms that don't enable large file support by default.

What is new in version 1.6.1.1:

• Removed some obsolete code.

What is new in version 1.6.0.1:

• The build system has been updated for BSD users having trouble compiling deco.

What is new in version 1.6:

• The -k option has been removed, and its behavior is now the default, which should lead to a nicer work flow.
• Use the new -c ("clean") option to get the previous default of aborting extraction on error and deleting partial contents.

What is new in version 1.5.7:

• A rather theoretical bug concerning the extraction of symbolic links was fixed.
• The code has been cleaned up.

What is new in version 1.5.6:

• If an archive named, for example, foo.zip contains a file also named foo.zip, previous versions of deco would fail in some circumstances.

What is new in version 1.5.5.2:

• The code style has been improved.

What is new in version 1.5.5.1:

• Minor code cleanups.
