- Update to version 4.0
Main goals are:
* Increased zipfile-compatibility, thus also achieving
smaller difference between RAR3 and RAR5 archives.
* Removing dependency on unrar for extract, thus making
maintenance of alternative backends more manageable.
Breaking changes:
* Directory names will have "/" appended.
* RarFile.extract operates only on single entry, so when used
on directory it will create directory but not extract files
under it.
* RarFile.extract / RarFile.extractall / RarFile.testrar will
not launch special unrar command line, instead they are
implemented on top of RarFile.open.
* Keyword args in top-level APIs were renamed to match zipfile:
+ RarFile(rarfile) -> RarFile(file)
+ RarFile.setpassword(password) -> .setpassword(pwd)
+ RarFile.getinfo(fname) -> .getinfo(name)
+ RarFile.open(fname, mode, psw) -> .open(name, mode, pwd)
+ RarFile.read(fname, psw) -> .read(name, pwd)
* PATH_SEP cannot be changed from "/".
New features:
* RarFile.extract will return final sanitized filename
for target file.
* RarInfo.is_dir is now preferred spelling of isdir().
Old method kept as alias.
* New RarInfo.is_file and RarInfo.is_symlink
methods. Only one of ~RarInfo.is_file, ~RarInfo.is_dir or
~RarInfo.is_symlink can be True.
* RarFile.printdir has file argument for output.
* RarFile.__iter__ loops over RarInfo entries.
* RAR3: throw NeedFirstVolume exception with current volume
number, like RAR5 does.
* Nanosecond timestamp support. Visible as nsdatetime
instance.
* Minimal CLI when run as script: python3 -m rarfile
* Skip old file versions in versioned archive.
Cleanups:
* Use PBKDF2 implementation from hashlib.
* Improve test coverage.
version 3.3:
Fixes:
* Add the .sfx test files to MANIFEST.in for inclusion in pypi
tarball.
* Add all files in git to tarball.
