File: mergeall-products/unzipped/test/ziptools/docetc/1.2-upgrades/_README.txt

This folder demos and documents new features in version 1.2.
See the top-level README's "Versions" section for a full 
list of 1.2 upgrades.  All demos here were run on Mac OS
(Unix) except as noted.  Items here:

verify-1.2-alternate-zip-path.txt
    Demos 1.2's new "-zip@path" alternate-path feature for
    changing and collapsing paths stored in zip files.

verify-1.2-utc-timestamps.txt
    Demos 1.2's use of UTC timestamps for modtimes, in a 
    console session.

original-zipandunziputc.png		
    Captures the results of 1.2's UTC timestamps: the LEFT 
    panel is the original data, and the RIGHT is the result
    of zipping and unzipping the original data in 1.2.

more-platform-demos/
    More Android and Windows shots, taken after 1.1 release.
    Android shots demo its lack of symlinks and permissions.
    Windows shots demo the effect of unzipping zips with 
    symlinks and Unix-style permissions on that platform, under
    Pythons 3.X and 2.X; 2.X makes stub files because it doesn't
    detect links; 3.X retains links but loses modtimes; and 
    read-only file permission survives the trip, but no others.
    See also ../1.1-upgrades/platform-demos/ for related shots. 

zipinfo-results/
    Gives the output of the Unix "zipinfo" program on zips made 
    by ziptools 1.1 and 1.2, and a proof that they're the same
    sans the extra-field indicator, and a size difference that's
    entirely due to the extra field per file.  "man zipinfo" for 
    details.  The "cgi/" zip is used in some of the other demos.
