Should extract more, is 515 simpler and probably more robust. 516 Releasing libextractor 0.5.6. 517 518 Fri Sep 16 16:41:04 PDT 2005 519 Made LE malloc file READ-ONLY. This should help the VM conserve 520 memory, however this breaks the HTML extractor. 521 522 Thu Sep 15 21:55:19 PDT 2005 523 Fixing compiler warnings given by gcc 4.0. 524 525 Thu Sep 15 00:56:51 PDT 2005 526 Fixed incorrectly handled integer overflow in png extractor. 527 528 Wed Sep 14 15:02:49 PDT 2005 529 Avoid malloc/memcpy of file in exiv2 extractor (optimization, avoids 530 problems with very large files where malloc may run into problems). 531 532 Wed Sep 14 13:50:15 PDT 2005 533 Changed code for backwards-compatibility with zlib 1.1 534 (thanks to Ronan Melennec). 535 536 Tue Sep 13 04:49:43 PDT 2005 537 Fixed segmentation fault in bz2 processing. 538 539 Fri Sep 9 14:57:10 PDT 2005 540 Fixed bug in decompression code that occured if the compressed file 541 expanded to more than twice its original size. 542 543 Wed Sep 7 21:41:35 PDT 2005 544 Added decompression of gz and bz2 streams to the LE core library 545 (avoids need to do this, possibly repeatedly, in plugins and makes 546 sure that all plugins work with compressed files). Eliminated gz 547 decompression from man and tar extractors. 548 Releasing libextractor 0.5.5. 549 550 Sun Sep 4 02:08:56 PDT 2005 551 Changed code to export fewer symbols (refactoring plus linker options, 552 goal is to address Mantis #925. Changed debian extractor to no longer 553 require threads. Dead code elimination in OO and OLE2 extractors. 554 Minor bugfixes ported from libgsf 1.12.2 to OLE2 extractor. 555 556 Fri Sep 2 03:17:10 PDT 2005 557 Added support for Mime-types for Microsoft Office formats. 558 559 Fri Aug 26 22:32:06 PDT 2005 560 Added workaround libstdc++ bug #23591 (Mantis bug #907). 561 Releasing libextractor 0.5.4. 562 563 Tue Aug 23 15:39:37 PDT 2005 564 Fixed build on OS X. 565 566 Tue Aug 23 12:35:35 PDT 2005 567 Fixed character set conversion in OLE2 extractor 568 (big thanks to Jody Goldberg). 569 570 Sat Aug 20 21:27:17 PDT 2005 571 Fixed memory leak in thumbnail extractor. 572 573 Thu Aug 18 21:18:28 PDT 2005 574 Made quotations match GNU standards. 575 576 Sat Aug 13 18:41:02 PDT 2005 577 Fixed problems with ole2 extractor. Also removed 578 requirement for static version of glib (!). 579 Releasing libextractor 0.5.3. 580 581 Fri Aug 12 23:53:54 PDT 2005 582 Fixed bug in OO extractor that made it not work. 583 Fixed bug in exiv2 extractor that killed keywords 584 found by other extractors. 585 Improved OO extractor mime-type detection. 586 587 Mon Aug 8 12:18:44 PDT 2005 588 Somehow addKeyword2 got lost. Added (again?). 589 Fixed compilation problems with gcc-2.95. 590 591 Thu Jul 14 18:52:17 CEST 2005 592 Bugfixes in exiv2 extractor fixing remaining issues. 593 Changed plugins to not use filename but always only 594 rely on mmapped memory. Extended API with function 595 that allows running getKeywords on data in memory 596 (instead of filename). Extended API with encode 597 and decode functions for binary metadata. 598 Releasing libextractor 0.5.2. 599 600 Mon Jul 4 18:10:14 CEST 2005 601 Preliminary integration of exiv2 support (not enabled 602 by default due to bugs). Moved Python and Java 603 bindings into separate packages. 604 Releasing libextractor 0.5.1. 605 606 Wed Jun 29 15:37:51 CEST 2005 607 Finally found out how to disable building static libs. 608 This should cut down compile time and installed size 609 by about a factor of 2 -- especially good since the 610 static version of the plugins is pretty, well, useless. 611 612 Sat Jun 18 14:56:38 EST 2005 613 Fixed a score of compiler warnings and some minor bugs, 614 none of which should have been observable. 615 616 Sat May 21 13:42:46 EST 2005 617 Releasing libextractor 0.5.0. 618 619 Fri May 6 14:54:58 EST 2005 620 Added flag to disable building of printable extractors 621 (important for systems with not that much memory). 622 623 Fri May 6 06:02:02 EST 2005 624 Added Python binding. 625 626 Tue Apr 5 17:22:28 EST 2005 627 Added translation to Kinyarwanda. 628 629 Thu Feb 24 00:32:44 EST 2005 630 Added extractor that extracts binary (!) thumbnails from 631 images using ImageMagick. Decoder function for the binary 632 string is in the thumbnailextractor.c source. 633 Releasing libextractor 0.4.2. 634 635 Wed Feb 23 22:42:08 EST 2005 636 Comment tag was not extracted from ID3 tags. Fixed. 637 638 Sun Feb 20 16:36:17 EST 2005 639 Fixed similar problem in REAL extractor.

Fixing mantis bug (PDF charset conversion 667 for UTF-8 console). Releasing libextractor 0.4.0. 668 669 Fri Dec 24 15:43:35 CET 2004 670 Adding support calling LE for python (draft, not 671 tested, possibly not working yet). 672 673 Fri Dec 24 13:28:59 CET 2004 674 Added support for Unicode to the pdf extractor. 675 676 Fri Dec 24 09:14:08 CET 2004 677 Improving mp3 (Id3v1): adding genres, minor 678 bugfixes. 679 680 Fri Dec 24 07:23:03 CET 2004 681 Improving PNG: converting to utf-8 and handling 682 compressed comments. 683 684 Thu Dec 23 18:14:10 CET 2004 685 Avoided exporting symbol OPEN (conflicts on OSX 686 with same symbol from GNUnet). Added conversion 687 to utf8 to various plugqins (see todo) and 688 added conversion from utf8 to current locale to 689 print keywords. 690 691 Sat Nov 13 13:23:23 EST 2004 692 Releasing libextractor 0.3.11. 693 694 Fri Nov 12 19:20:37 EST 2004 695 Fixed bug in PDF extractor (extremely rare segfault). 696 Fixed #787. 697 Fixed bug in man extractor (undocumented return value running on 698 4 GB file not taken care of properly). 699 700 Sat Oct 30 20:18:21 EST 2004 701 Fixing various problems on Sparc64 (bus errors). 702 Workaround for re-load glib problem of OLE2 extractor. 703 704 Sat Oct 23 13:21:23 EST 2004 705 Releasing libextractor 0.3.10. 706 707 Fri Oct 22 22:22:28 EST 2004 708 Fixing memory leak after extensive valgrinding. 709 710 Fri Oct 22 19:18:38 EST 2004 711 id3v2.3 and id3v2.4 work. Some bugfixes. 712 713 Sun Oct 17 18:12:11 EST 2004 714 tar and tar.gz work. Releasing libextractor 0.3.9. 715 716 Sun Oct 17 17:42:16 EST 2004 717 deb works. 718 719 Sun Oct 17 13:52:25 EST 2004 720 man works. 721 722 Tue Oct 5 14:29:31 EST 2004 723 Updated xpdf extractor (to fix Mantis #754).

Removed special code for OS X, 733 normal libtool works fine now (and suddenly LE works for OS X). 734 Releasing libextractor 0.3.8. 735 736 Sun Sep 26 19:25:10 EST 2004 737 Moved libextactor plugins to separate directory, building 738 plugins as plugins and not as libraries. 739 740 Thu Sep 23 11:25:42 EST 2004 741 Added support for ID3v2. Added support for StarOffice (OLE2). 742 Fixed some minor build issues. Releasing libextractor 0.3.7. 743 744 Tue Sep 14 21:25:22 EST 2004 745 Improved performance of the HTML extractor by avoiding parsing 746 after the header (factor of 25 improvement for a 4 MB HTML file 747 resulting in a total improvement for total extraction time for 748 running all extractors of about 50%). Improved performance 749 of the ZIP extractor for non-zip files by testing for the ZIP 750 header before trying to locate the central directory (for 5 MB 751 /dev/random time improves by a factor of about 15). Same change 752 was also applied to the OO extractor (since OO is effectively a 753 zip). Overall improvement for 5 MB /dev/random for running 754 all extractors is a factor of 10 (now takes 100ms on my machine 755 to run 720 times on the same 5 MB file passing that file as an 756 argument; the remaining time is pretty much doing 720x mmap and 757 related system calls). 758 759 Fri Sep 10 22:00:09 EST 2004 760 Added support for RipeMD-160. 761 762 Fri Sep 10 19:49:39 EST 2004 763 Added support for SHA-1 and MD5.

Releasing libextractor 0.3.5. 773 774 Wed Aug 25 18:42:11 IST 2004 775 Added support for GNU gettext. Releasing libextractor 0.3.4. 776 777 Fri Jul 2 20:10:54 IST 2004 778 Using mime-types to selectively disable parsing extractors 779 to increase performance. 780 781 Wed Jun 23 13:37:02 IST 2004 782 Added support for wav. Fixed problems in mpeg and riff 783 extractors. Releasing libextractor 0.3.3. 784 785 Sun Jun 6 18:42:28 IST 2004 786 Fixed segfault in qtextractor. 787 788 Mon May 31 18:19:07 EST 2004 789 Fixed more minor bugs. Releasing libextractor 0.3.2. 790 791 Mon May 31 17:14:55 EST 2004 792 Removed comment extraction from RIFF extractor (format 793 detection is not good enough to avoid garbage for non-RIFF 794 files). Also fixed rare seg-fault in PDF-extractor (xpdf 795 author notified). 796 797 Mon May 24 13:40:27 EST 2004 798 Changed build system to avoid having an extra library 799 (libextractor_util is gone). 800 801 Wed Apr 28 19:28:39 EST 2004 802 Releasing libextractor 0.3.1. 803 804 Wed Apr 28 01:26:53 EST 2004 805 Added ELF extractor. 806 807 Sat Apr 24 00:07:31 EST 2004 808 Fixed memory leak in PDF-extractor. 809 810 Mon Apr 12 01:30:20 EST 2004 811 Added Java binding. If jni.h is present (and working!), 812 libextractor is build with a couple of tiny additional 813 methods that are sufficient to build a Java class to 814 access libextractor. The API is still incomplete but 815 already basically functional. Releasing 0.3.0 816 817 Sat Apr 10 01:34:04 EST 2004 818 Added RIFF/AVI extractor based on AVInfo. 819 Fixed memory-leak and potential segfault in zipextractor. 820 821 Sat Apr 10 00:30:19 EST 2004 822 Added MPEG (video) extractor based on AVInfo.

Added some 831 testcases. Updated man-pages. 832 833 Wed Apr 7 00:26:29 EST 2004 834 Made HTML and ZIP extractors re-entrant. 835 Fixed minor problems in ZIP extractor (possible segfault, 836 possible memory leaks; both for invalid ZIP files). 837 838 Sun Apr 4 20:24:39 EST 2004 839 Added TIFF extractor. Fixed segfault in removeLibrary. 840 Port to mingw. Releasing 0.2.7. 841 842 Tue Oct 14 17:43:09 EST 2003 843 Fixed segfault in PDF and RPM extractors. 844 Fixed BSD compile errors. Port to OSX. 845 Releasing 0.2.6. 846 847 Sun Oct 12 18:05:37 EST 2003 848 Ported to OSX, fixing endianess issues with printable 849 extractors. 850 851 Tue Jul 22 11:38:42 CET 2003 852 Fixed segfault with option -b for no keywords found. 853 854 Wed Jul 16 13:41:34 EST 2003 855 Releasing 0.2.5. 856 857 Mon Jun 30 21:27:42 EST 2003 858 Releasing 0.2.4. 859 860 Sun Jun 15 18:05:24 EST 2003 861 Added support for pspell to printableextractor. 862 863 Sat Apr 19 04:11:14 EST 2003 864 Fixed missing delete operation in PDF extractor for 865 non-PDF files (caused memory leak and file-handle leak). 866 867 Thu Apr 10 23:54:17 EST 2003 868 Fixed segmentation violation in png extractor. 869 870 Thu Apr 10 01:34:49 EST 2003 871 Rewrote RPM extractor to make it no longer depend on rpmlib. 872 873 Fri Apr 4 21:39:55 EST 2003 874 Added QT extractor, but again not really tested due to lack of 875 QuickTime file with meta-data in it. 876 877 Thu Apr 3 23:09:44 EST 2003 878 Added ASF extractor, but not really tested due to lack of 879 ASF file with meta-data in it. 880 881 Thu Apr 3 04:04:19 EST 2003 882 Fixing ogg-extractor to work with new version of libvorbis that 883 requires us to link against libvorbisfile. 884 885 Wed Apr 2 22:22:16 EST 2003 886 Cleaned up plugin mechanism (ltdl). 887 888 Wed Apr 2 12:09:27 EST 2003 889 zipextractor now works with self-extracting zip executables. 890 891 Sat Feb 01 05:35:24 EST 2003 892 Changed loading of dynamic libraries to the more portable libltdl. 893 894 Thu Jan 23 00:34:20 EST 2003 895 Wrote RPM extractor. 896 897 Tue Jan 21 03:11:02 EST 2003 898 Fixed minor bug in ps extractor (now stops parsing at %%EndComments). 899 900 Thu Jan 9 18:41:01 EST 2003 901 License changed to GPL (required for pdf extractor), releasing 0.1.4. 902 903 Tue Jan 7 18:31:38 EST 2003 904 Added postscript (ps) extractor. 905 906 Tue Dec 31 15:26:00 EST 2002 907 Added pdf extractor based on xpdf code. 908 909 Tue Dec 17 20:36:13 CET 2002 910 Added MIME-extractor. 911 912 Fri Nov 22 21:54:10 EST 2002 913 Fixed portability problems with the gifextractor, in particular 914 the code now ensures that C compilers that do not pack the structs 915 are still going to result in working code. 916 917 Tue Oct 1 14:01:16 EST 2002 918 Fixed segmentation fault in ogg extractor. 919 920 Fri Jul 26 16:25:38 EST 2002 921 Added EXTRACTOR_ to every symbol in the extractor API to 922 avoid name-clashes. 923 924 Wed Jun 12 23:42:55 EST 2002 925 Added a dozen options to extract. 926 927 Fri Jun 7 01:48:34 EST 2002 928 Added support for real (real.com). 929 930 Fri Jun 7 00:21:40 EST 2002 931 Added support for GIF (what a crazy format). 932 933 Tue Jun 4 23:21:38 EST 2002 934 Added support for PNG, no longer reading the 935 file again and again for each extractor (slight 936 interface change, mmapping). 937 938 Sun Jun 2 22:49:17 EST 2002 939 Added support for JPEG and HTML. HTML does not 940 support concurrent use, though (inherent problem 941 with libhtmlparse). Released v0.0.2. 942 943 Sat May 25 16:56:59 EST 2002 944 Added building of a description from artist, 945 title and album, fixed bugs. 946 947 Tue May 21 22:24:07 EST 2002 948 Added removing of duplicates, splitting keywords, 949 extraction of keywords from filenames. 950 951 Sat May 18 16:33:28 EST 2002 952 more convenience methods ('configuration', default 953 set of libraries, remove all libraries) 954 955 Sat May 18 02:33:28 EST 2002 956 ogg extractor works, mp3 extractor now always works 957 958 Thu May 16 00:04:03 EST 2002 959 MP3 extractor mostly works. 960 961 Wed May 15 23:38:31 EST 2002 962 The basics are there, let's write extractors!
