[compress] Releasing 1.4
Hi all,
Compress' trunk has been sitting on valuable content for too long now:
* XZ compression
* BZIP2 now reads streams created by pbzip2 (parallel bzip2)
* TAR has been largely improved to support reading and writing big
files, old files and files with long names - as well as encodings
other than ASCII - in several ways supporting multiple dialects.
There is one backwards incompatible change, tar now uses the platform's
native encoding for file names (like GNU tar does) rather than
ISO-8859-1.
I intend to build a release candidate sometime during the next week
unless anybody objects. In order to incorporate feedback before I
create the RC I've built the site for review at
http://people.apache.org/~bodewig/commons-compress/

Good catches!

There are quite a few references to 1.3 on the front page.

Code looks generally good.
I made a few tweaks:
- ensure conditional statements have braces
- fix a default encoding usage
- updated release notes VM to improve the layout.
- tabs and trailing spaces

I must admit I've never used that API, so I don't know whether it could
use some tweaks.
OTOH I don't recall any JIRA raised against it in the three years they
are part of Compress. Either nobody uses the classes or the API looks
good as it is.
Personally I intend (but you know what happens to good intentions when
time is limited) to kick off a Compress 2.0 API discussion after the 1.4
release - generics, some improvements as well as getting rid of some
backwards compatibility baggage.

If nobody complained about it until now, remove the label. It gets part of
the API anyway.

Before ages when I wrote the "ChangeSet" stuff I have marked them as
"experimental". Have not heard any complains yet... we should discuss
if we remove that label or if need some more tweaks there. Probably
after 1.4?

I've seen that but must admit I didn't see a proper way to get rid of it
on first glance - extracting a method would require shuffling around a
lot of state IIRC.

Oh, it's been unfinished since Compress 1.0 ;-)

Probably unfinished work as well.

The trunk looks good now IMO. I'll let others decide about the change set
docs.
The only item that stick out but could wait for another release:
- the large code dup in BZip2CompressorInputStream as noted by CPD.
- the apparently unfinished JarArchiveEntry
- unused summary fields in DumpArchiveEntry

OK.
They need a bit of thought (I fixed the ones that were obviously ASCII
- they involved numeric conversion)

Agreed, but this can be done after the release IMHO (they've been in
that state for the prior releases as well).

There are a few places where the default charset is being used.
It's not clear whether these are intentional or not, so I have marked
them with TODOs.
We should either document that the default is OK, or use a fixed
charset, e.g. ASCII.
