Deprecations:

• Renamed methods of UnifiedArchive:
  • getFileNames => getFiles
  • extractFiles => extract
  • addFiles => add
  • deleteFiles => delete
  • archiveFiles => archive
  • canOpenArchive => canOpen
  • Old methods are marked as deprecated and will be deleted in future releases.

• Added method to create archive in memory: UnifiedArchive::createInString() and BasicDriver::CREATE_IN_STRING ability constant
• Added new pure driver for Zip/Tar(gz/bz2) - SplitbrainPhpArchive.

1.1.7 - Jul 31, 2022

• open does not throw an Exception, it returns null
• returned deleted methods in UnifiedArchive: canOpenArchive, canOpenType, canCreateType, getArchiveType, detectArchiveType, getFileResource, getArchiveFormat, isFileExists, getArchiveSize, countCompressedFilesSize, countUncompressedFilesSize.

1.1.6 - Jul 31, 2022

BC-breaking changes:

• Changed signature: UnifiedArchive::open($filename, string|null $password = null) => UnifiedArchive::open($filename, array $abilities = [], string|null $password = null). Right now if second argument is string, it will be treated as password (for BC-compatability).
• open throws an Exception when format is not recognized or there’s no driver that support requested abilities.
• addFiles/deleteFiles/getComment/setComment throws an Exception when driver does not support this ability.
• Deleted methods in UnifiedArchive: canOpenArchive, canOpenType, canCreateType, getArchiveType, detectArchiveType, getFileResource, getArchiveFormat, isFileExists, getArchiveSize, countCompressedFilesSize, countUncompressedFilesSize.

New features:

• Added passing needed abilities to UnifiedArchive::open() to select a better driver:

    use wapmorgan\UnifiedArchive\Abilities;use wapmorgan\UnifiedArchive\Drivers\Basic\BasicDriver;
  
    # opens an array with driver, that supports content streaming and appending
    $archive = \wapmorgan\UnifiedArchive\UnifiedArchive::open('archive.7z', [Abilities::STREAM_CONTENT, Abilities::APPEND]);
    # if not specified, uses OPEN or OPEN_ENCRYPTED check, if password passed
  

• Added UnifiedArchive::test($files = []) (and cam files:test command) to test archive contents (compare actual control sum with stored crc32).
• More informative output in commands: system:drivers, system:formats, system:format, added command files:test.
• Added driver abilities to select better driver.

Driver changes:

• Added NelexaZip pure-PHP driver.
• Added Iso driver extraction ability.
• Added commenting-ability for SevenZip driver (via descript.ion file in archive).

1.1.5 - Jun 28, 2022

New features:

• Reimplemented cam (console utility) - now it’s on symfony/console and supports all features and more functions (folders, types) of UA.
• Added more detailed installation instructions (./vendor/bin/cam system:drivers) of specific drivers: AlchemyZippy, Cab, Iso, Lzma, Rar, SevenZip, TarByPear.
• Added ability to track progress of archive creation - new argument ?callable $fileProgressCallable of UnifiedArchive::archiveFiles().
• Added ability to pass few directories to be placed in one in-archive directory in archiving/appending (addFiles()/archiveFiles())

    [
        '' => ['./folder1', './folder2'],
        'README.md' => './subfolder/README.md'
    ] # Archive will have all folder1, folder2 contents in the root and README.md
  

Fixed:

• Fixed extract() and listContent() and their result of PclZip interface (UnifiedArchive::getPclZipInterface()) to correspond to original library (object => array).
• Added tests on archiving, extraction and for PclZip-interface.

Format changes:

• Fixed counting of extracted files when extracting the whole archive in TarByPear, TarByPhar, Zip.
• Fixed calculation archive entry compressed size (approximately) and modification time, implemented entry content streaming in TarByPhar.

1.1.4 - Dec 21, 2021

Disabled rar for SevenZip driver.

1.1.3 - May 2, 2021

Changed format of $files in archiveFiles() and addFiles()

[
    '/var/www/log.txt',                // will be "/var/www/log.txt"
    'log2.txt' => '/var/www/log2.txt', // will be "/log2.txt"
    '/var/www/site',                   // will be "/var/www/site"
    'site2' => '/var/www/site2',       // will be "/site2"
]

Old format also works, but there can be a bad case. If you have /var/www/log2.txt and log2.txt (in current directory) and pass following:

[
'/var/www/log2.txt' => 'log2.txt',
]

it will archive log2.txt as /var/www/log2.txt in an archive (new behaviour).

New features:

• Added Formats::canStream() to check if an archive files can be streamed.
• Added ability to create archives, encrypted with password (only zip (Zip, SevenZip) and 7z (SevenZip)) - added nullable $password argument to:
  • UnifiedArchive::archiveFiles($fileOrFiles, $archiveName, $compressionLevel = BasicDriver::COMPRESSION_AVERAGE, $password = null)
  • UnifiedArchive::archiveFile($file, $archiveName, $compressionLevel = BasicDriver::COMPRESSION_AVERAGE, $password = null)
  • UnifiedArchive::archiveDirectory($directory, $archiveName, $compressionLevel = BasicDriver::COMPRESSION_AVERAGE, $password = null)
• Added UnifiedArchive->getMimeType() to get mime type of archive.
• Added UnifiedArchive->getComment() to get comment of an archive. Available only in Zip and Rar drivers, others return null.
• Added UnifiedArchive->setComment(?string $comment) to set comment. Available only in Zip.
• Added filter in UnifiedArcihve->getFileNames(). If works as fnmatch() does.
• Added ability to iterate over archive and access files data as array: ```php $a = \wapmorgan\UnifiedArchive\UnifiedArchive::open(‘tests/archives/fixtures.7z’); foreach ($a as $file => $data) { echo $file.PHP_EOL; }

$file_data = $a[‘filename’]; ```

Fixed:

• Fixed SevenZip driver: disabled tar.gz, tar.bzip2 support as it isn’t supported properly and described which formats driver can create, append, modify and encrypt.

Methods renamed (old exist, but marked as deprecated):

• UnifiedArchive->getArchiveFormat -> UnifiedArchive->getFormat.
• UnifiedArchive->getArchiveSize -> UnifiedArchive->getSize.
• UnifiedArchive->countCompressedFilesSize -> UnifiedArchive->getCompressedSize.
• UnifiedArchive->countUncompressedFilesSize -> UnifiedArchive->getOriginalSize.
• UnifiedArchive->getFileResource -> UnifiedArchive->getFileStream.
• UnifiedArchive->isFileExists -> UnifiedArchive->hasFile.

• Added tests for format support:
  • Formats::canOpen()
  • Formats::canCreate()
  • Formats::canAppend() - check if file can be added to an archive
  • Formats::canUpdate() - check if archive member can be removed

0.1.1 - Sep 21, 2018

API changes:

• Changed algorithm of files list generation in archiveFiles() and addFiles():

    // 1. one file
    $archive->archiveFiles('/var/www/site/abc.log', 'archive.zip'); // => stored as 'abc.log'
    // 2. directory
    $archive->archiveFiles('/var/www/site/runtime/logs', 'archive.zip'); // => directory content stored in archive root
    // 3. list
    $archive->archiveFiles([
          '/var/www/site/abc.log' => 'abc.log', // stored as 'abc.log'
          '/var/www/site/abc.log', // stored as '/var/www/site/abc.log'
          '/var/www/site/runtime/logs' => 'logs', // directory content stored in 'logs' dir
          '/var/www/site/runtime/logs', // stored as '/var/www/site/runtime/logs'
    ], 'archive.zip');
  

• Disabled paths expanding in extractFiles() and deleteFiles() by default.

  If you need to expand src/ path to all files within this directory in archive, set second argument $expandFilesList argument to true.

    $archive->extractFiles(__DIR__, 'src/', true);
    $archive->deleteFiles('tests/', true);
  

• Added new element in archiveFiles() result in emulation mode. Now it returns an archive with 4 elements: new type element with archive type.

Fixes:

• Fixed LZW-stream (.tar.Z) wrapper (before it didn’t work).
• Fixed ISO archives reading (before archive size could be calculated wrong).
• Fixed CAB archives extraction in getFileContent($file) (before it didn’t work).
• Improved extraction in getFileContent($file) for RAR archives by using streams (before it did extract file in temporarily folder, read it and then delete it).

Improvements:

• Added isFileExists($file): bool method for checking if archive has a file with specific name.
• Added getFileResource($file): resource method for getting a file descriptor for reading all file content without full extraction in memory.
• Added canOpenArchive($archiveFileName): bool and canOpenType($archiveFormat): bool static methods to check if specific archive or format can be opened.
• Added detectArchiveType($fileName): string|false static method to detect (by filename or content) archive type.
• Added addFile($file, $inArchiveName = null) / addDirectory($directory, $inArchivePath = null) to add one file or one directory, archiveFile($file, $archiveName) / archiveDirectory($directory, $archiveName) to archive one file or directory.

Miscellaneous:

• Added simple tests.
• Added phar distribution.
