How to get commons-compress 1.6 released?
Hi,
This is Calvin from IBM. I am making a product that need to use the 7z
archive function. I am very lucky to find that commons-compress supports
it! But the bad news is the latest release 1.5 does not contain those part.
How can I get a new release jar file like 1.6 from Apache site?
Thank you for any suggestion~
Best Regards

Hello Calvin,
If you would like to help get the release out, you could check out the
code from SVN, build it, and test it in your app. Then you can give is
feedback as to wether you find bugs or can see improvements.

Having said that, Lasse has just released XZ for Java 1.4, many thanks!
I'll merge the LZMA branch and would appreceate some real world 7z tests
of the next SNAPSHOTs.

Compress 1.6 hasn't been released, yet. I think there are SNAPSHOT
builds available. Yep,
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/commons/commons-compress/
One thing holding up the release is that I personally would love to have
LZMA support for 7z in as well - this is the compression method used for
header fields by default and without it 7z support is pretty much
limited. This one depends on XZ for Java getting a new release out,
though. I'll ping Lasse about this.
Apart from that I've started to play around with the ARJ code and found
some issues I wanted to investigate but didn't find the time to do - I'd
need to set up a Windows box with arj on it first.
It would be great if you could give the trunk version of Compress a try
and help us shake out some bugs before we cut a release, though.
Cheers
Stefan
