The bzip2 package has been updated to version 1.0.6-2. bzip2 is a
patent-unencumbered but highly effective compression library, and
also provides the bzip2.exe / bunzip2.exe utilities. This is a
packaging update.
[[ compiled using gcc-4.3.4-4 ]]
CHANGES since 1.0.6-1
========================
* Adopt autoconf-based (internal) build system, based on
mingw.org's bzip2 distribution.
- Side effect: no longer export symbols from DLL that are
not declared as public exports in the bzlib.h header.
Technically, this is an ABI change, but as these symbols
were never intended to be public, AND they could never
actually be used by external clients without significant
hackery, I did /not/ change the DLL number. It remains
cygbz2-1.dll.
* Add patch from gentoo/mandrake that adds a --show-progress
option to the bzip2 executable.
