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.
