0.8.1

Feature

Bug Fix and minor change

  • All trash records can display its own error, instead of having a collective, generic error on termination of program
  • (#42) Display partial path if index file truncation happens but doesn't affect integrity of other data fields
  • Perform basic validation on trash file deletion time

0.8.0

Breaking Change

  • As a result of revamps below, package maintainers need to rewrite their package files. See compile instructions and GitHub workflow file for reference.
  • (#21) Adopts CMake as build system, and drop Autoconf/Automake completely. Document files have been restructured as well.
  • (#18) Gettext support is removed, its m4 macro versioning is placing a burden on maintainers and packagers.
    • Same for the translation. No contribution so far, probably this is unneeded.
  • 64 bit Windows binary requires Universal C runtime, which needs extra download for Windows 8.1 or below.

Feature

  • (#3) Implement live system inspection on Windows
  • (#32) $Recycle.bin also shows extra field like old INFO2 files do, displaying whether some trashed entries have been restored, leaving only the index file present inside $Recycle.bin

Bug Fix and minor change

  • (#28) Fix crash on big endian platform due to incorrect string length check
  • (#19, #34) Avoid printing garbage under Windows command prompt
  • (#22) Manpage is retired, referring users to GitHub repository and online docs
  • (Variation of #17) Program name shown as (null) in Windows GUI help dialog
  • (#37) XML output for 95/NT INFO now contains total entries ever existed field

0.7.0

Feature Addition

  • Support recycle bin from jurassic Windows: 95, NT4, ME (Issue #9)
  • Verified to work for recycle bin on network shared folder using UNC path (such thing is rare but does exist)
  • Display timezone in tab-delimited output header
  • Guess Windows version based on recycle bin artifacts
  • Distributed Windows binaries:
    • Copes better with Windows ACL, detecting folder with insufficient permissions
    • Attempts to detect Windows locale setting and automatically determine translation to use

Change

  • Now mandates UTF-8 locale except on Windows
    • File output is also in UTF-8 encoding under Windows
    • -8 option is rendered obsolete as a result
  • Distributed Windows binaries can only run on Vista or above
    • Windows XP/2003 support removed due to glib changes
  • Won't overwrite destination file if it already exists
  • $Recycle.bin version:
    • Not printing file size field if it is corrupt
    • Exit with error status whenever errors are found in any entry, not just the last entry
  • INFO2 version:
    • Restricts the choice of legacy path character encoding; generally, all encodings not ASCII compatible are disallowed
  • Building requirement changes
    • Remove GNUism for part of build toolchain (make, awk)
    • Use external GNU gettext instead of obsolete glib-gettextize

Bug fix

  • Fix unicode display on Windows console (Issue #12)
  • More robust handling of invalid or undecipherable characters, displaying escaped hex or unicode sequences in such cases (Issue #5)

0.6.1

Bug fix

  • Restore old date/time format for tab-delimited output, in order to be more spreadsheet friendly (Issue #8)
  • Fix timezone offset for ISO8601-format date, to account for DST
  • Fix data retrieval on big endian systems
  • No more attempt to limit usage of TZ environment variable (which doesn't work anyway)

0.6.0

Feature

  • Windows 10 recycle bin support (Issue #1)
  • Add GUI dialog to notify first time Windows users (Issue #2)
  • 8.3 path names can also be used in XML output now

Bug fix

  • Win98 INFO2 trashed file size not retrieved correctly
  • Substantial rework on showing translation and file names in different lanuages, especially on Windows platform

Change

  • Display file deletion time in UTC time zone by default
  • Vista version:
    • No more accepts multiple file arguments
    • Invalid file or dir in command argument treated as fatal error
    • Result is sorted by deletion time, instead of random order
    • Show version info in order to differentiate between Vista & Windows 10 formats
  • INFO2 version:
    • No more accepts standard input as input data

0.5.1

  • New manpage
  • Test cases added to repository
  • Debian packaging stuff added to repository

0.5.0

  • Complete rewrite, using glib for I18N support and unicode handling
  • This means INFO2 records from any localized version of Windows can be parsed correctly
  • Since Vista recycle bin format changed completely, there will be no INFO2 file. A new program, rifiuti-vista, handles such format.
  • Both program can output in XML format as well as tab-delimited plain text.
  • Can choose to output long path name or legacy one (like "Progra~1")
  • Some preliminary check to guard against specially crafted recycle bin files.
