+6.2. The SHA1 checksum for this file
+is 7f2c633c97e79083c08cb63f3c155395f8f88646. New features in this
release include:
-
Add support for InstallShield archives, using
-the unshield command.
-
The wording of many of the interactive prompts has been adjusted
-to be clearer and provide more information to the user
-immediately.
-
dtrx 6.1 does a better job protecting
-against race conditions when extracting a single file.
-
If you used the -f option, and extracted an archive that only contained
-one file or directory, dtrx 6.0 would still
-prompt you to ask how it should be
-extracted. dtrx 6.1 fixes this, extracting the
-contents to the current directory as -f requires.
-
Recursive extraction would not work well
-in dtrx 6.0 when the contents of the original
-archive were a single file. This has been fixed
-in dtrx 6.1.
+
A new --one-entry option: Normally, if an archive only
+contains one file or directory with a name that doesn't match the
+archive's, dtrx will ask you how to handle it. With this option, you can
+specify ahead of time what should happen.
+
Since version 6.0, when you extracted or listed the contents of a cpio
+archive, dtrx would display a warning that simply said "1234
+blocks." dtrx 6.2 suppresses this message.
+
When you try to list the contents of an archive, dtrx will now cope
+with misnamed files more gracefully, giving more accurate results and
+showing fewer error messages.
+
dtrx 6.2 will only show you error messages from archive extraction if
+it is completely unable to extract the file. If one of its extraction
+methods succeeds, it will no longer show you the error messages from
+previous extraction attempts.
+
dtrx is now better about cleaning up partially extracted archives when
+it encounters an error or signal.
+
Users will no longer see error messages about broken pipes from
+dtrx.
