v1.0.4

ZManager CLI 1.0.4 Release Notes

ZManager CLI 1.0.4 improves fallback archive extraction coverage for
libarchive-backed formats and unencrypted split RAR archives.

Highlights

• Lists and extracts .tar.br archives by decoding the Brotli-compressed tar
  stream before handing it to libarchive.
• Routes unencrypted RAR archives, including split RAR sets, through the
  libarchive fallback path.
• Keeps passworded RAR extraction on the native RAR backend so encrypted RAR
  workflows continue to use password-aware extraction.
• Adds regression coverage for .tar.br listing/extraction and unencrypted
  split RAR extraction through the C ABI.

Release Artifacts

The GitHub release contains:

• zm-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
• zm-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
• zm-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
• zm-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
• zm-aarch64-pc-windows-msvc.zip
• zm-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip
• zm-<target>.deps.txt runtime dependency reports for each target
• LICENSE, NOTICE, generated THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, and
  third-party-licenses/ inside each platform archive
• package-metadata.tar.gz
• SHA256SUMS

Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS before installing.

Known Backend Limits

• Creation is intentionally limited to ZIP, TAR.ZST, TZAP, and 7z.
• Editing an existing archive in place is not supported. Extract, modify, and
  create a new archive instead.
• RAR creation is not supported. Passworded RAR extraction uses the bundled
  extraction-only backend; unencrypted RAR extraction uses libarchive fallback.
• Raw single-file streams extract to one output file; they are not archive
  containers.
• --to-stdout is for selected regular file data, not directories, links, or
  special entries.
• macOS release archives may depend on platform runtime libraries listed in the
  corresponding zm-<target>.deps.txt report. Linux release archives are
  statically linked and their reports must not contain ELF NEEDED entries.

Package Channels

• Homebrew metadata is generated from release checksums and should be copied to
  frankmanzhu/homebrew-zmanager.
• WinGet metadata is generated from release checksums and should be validated
  with winget validate before submission.
• Linux distribution is direct static tarball installation with checksum
  verification.

v1.0.3

Z-Manager CLI 1.0.3 Release Notes

Z-Manager CLI 1.0.3 adds first-class TZAP archive support and refreshes release
packaging from the current main branch after the already-published 1.0.2
release.

Highlights

• Creates, lists, tests, and extracts .tzap archives.
• Supports passphrase-protected TZAP workflows through prompts or
  --password-stdin.
• Supports explicit no-password TZAP creation for public archives.
• Adds TZAP split-volume handling with .volNNN.tzap archive names.
• Adds TZAP X.509 RootAuth signing and verification support.
• Accepts TZAP signing identities from certificate/key pairs or PKCS#12/PFX
  identity files.
• Updates the TZAP core dependency set to the latest 0.1.x crates.
• Keeps Linux release artifacts on the static musl tarball path introduced after
  1.0.1.

  containers.
• --to-stdout is for selected regular file data, not directories, links, or
  special entries.

  corresponding zm-<target>.deps.txt report. Linux release archives are
  statically linked and their reports must not contain ELF NEEDED entries.
