## 0.9 / 2019-09-04

* jtappa added the ability to skip fsync with a new option to Minitar.unpack
and Minitar::Input#extract_entry. Provide `:fsync => false` as the last
parameter to enable. Merged from a modified version of PR [#37][].

## 0.8 / 2019-01-05

* inkstak resolved an issue introduced in the fix for [#31][] by allowing
spaces to be considered valid characters in strict octal handling. Octal
conversion ignores leading spaces. Merged from a slightly modified version
of PR [#35][].

* dearblue contributed PR [#32][] providing an explicit call to #bytesize for
strings that include multibyte characters. The PR has been modified to be
compatible with older versions of Ruby and extend tests.

* Akinori MUSHA (knu) contributed PR [#36][] that treats certain badly
encoded regular files (with names ending in `/`) as if they were
directories on decode.

## 0.7 / 2018-02-19

* Fixed issue [#28][] with a modified version of PR [#29][] covering the
security policy and position for Minitar. Thanks so much to ooooooo\_q for
the report and an initial patch. Additional information was added as
[#30][].

* dearblue contributed PR [#33][] providing a fix for Minitar::Reader when
the IO-like object does not have a `#pos` method.

* Kevin McDermott contributed PR [#34][] so that an InvalidTarStream is
raised if the tar header is not valid, preventing incorrect streaming of
files from a non-tarfile. This is a minor breaking change, so the version
has been bumped accordingly.

* Kazuyoshi Kato contributed PR [#26][] providing support for the GNU tar
long filename extension.

* Addressed a potential DOS with negative size fields in tar headers
([#31][]). This has been handled in two ways: the size field in a tar
header is interpreted as a strict octal value and the Minitar reader will
raise an InvalidTarStream if the size ends up being negative anyway.
