Unroot 1.0.2
Maintenance Release — August 7, 2026
Unroot 1.0.2 fixes the archive metadata check introduced in 1.0.1. The check
now asks GNU tar to process a real temporary file, ensuring older tar builds
report missing ACL or extended-metadata support before pack or unpack
proceeds. Without this fix, some tar builds reported the limitation only while
processing the real rootfs, after the preflight had already passed.
Hosts whose GNU tar lacks requested metadata support continue to fail closed by
default. Use --force when reduced archive fidelity is understood and
acceptable. (#15)
