  • Swift 4.2 is no longer supported. For reference, the following platforms and Swift versions are supported at the time of this release:
    • Apple platforms: Swift 5.0+
    • Linux: Swift 5.0+
    • Windows: Swift 5.4+
  • Minimum iOS deployment version (when installed via CocoaPods or Carthage) is now 9.0.
  • Increased the lowest required version of BitByteData dependency to 2.0.
  • Added the TarContainer.create(from:force:) function which allows to specify TAR format (#24).

Comment: By using this function it is now possible to create TAR containers of GNU, ustar (POSIX), and pre-POSIX formats (in addition to PAX). However, it is still highly recommended to use TarContainer.create(from:) instead, unless you have a specific reason to choose a particular format and you understand the limitations of that format.

  • The TarContainer.create(from:) function (alongside with the newly added function) no longer throws.
    • As a result TarCreateError.utf8NonEncodable is now never thrown and will be removed in the next major update (together with the TarCreateError enum).
  • Handling of truncated TAR containers should now be more consistent.
    • The check for truncated containers, that was introduced in 4.5.11, now throws the TarError.tooSmallFileIsPassed error instead of TarError.wrongField.
  • Documentation has been updated:
    • Adjusted documentation of the TarEntryInfo properties to account for other formats used in creation of a container.
    • Adjusted documentation of the TarError.tooSmallFileIsPassed error to mention its use in all situations when truncated data is encountered.
  • swcomp changes:
    • The zip -i command now prints entry comments only if they are not empty.
    • Slight grammatical improvements to the help messages.
