Changelog

7.5

• Added zstd compression support.
• Consistent TOCTOU behavior in sync t.list
• Only read from ustar block if not specified in Pax
• Fix sync tar.list when file size reduces while reading
• Sanitize absolute linkpaths properly
• Prevent writing hardlink entries to the archive ahead of their file target

7.4

• Deprecate onentry in favor of onReadEntry for clarity.

7.3

• Add onWriteEntry option

7.2

• DRY the command definitions into a single makeCommand method, and update the type signatures to more appropriately infer the return type from the options and arguments provided.

7.1

• Update minipass to v7.1.0
• Update the type definitions of write() and end() methods on Unpack and Parser classes to be compatible with the NodeJS.WritableStream type in the latest versions of @types/node.

7.0

• Drop support for node <18
• Rewrite in TypeScript, provide ESM and CommonJS hybrid interface
• Add tree-shake friendly exports, like import('tar/create') and import('tar/read-entry') to get individual functions or classes.
• Add chmod option that defaults to false, and deprecate noChmod. That is, reverse the default option regarding explicitly setting file system modes to match tar entry settings.
• Add processUmask option to avoid having to call process.umask() when chmod: true (or noChmod: false) is set.
