Description

new minor version; from https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/libarchive-announce/y0IEjnplpcM:

Libarchive 3.3.1 is a feature and security release.  Over 20 people contributed fixes and improvements since 3.2.2; only a few of whom are mentioned below. Thanks to everyone who has invested their time and effort to make libarchive such a great piece of software.

Highlights:

• Tar format can now archive and restore NFSv4 ACLs on FreeBSD, Linux, and macOS thanks to Martin Matuška. This is fully interoperable with star.
• Tar format can read and write SCHILY.xattr extended file attributes in addition to the LIBARCHIVE.xattr format, thanks to Stefan Berger. This provides compatibility with archives created by star and GNU tar.
• Jan Osusky contributed several improvements to libarchive's file detection logic.
• Many security bugs reported by the OSS-Fuzz project have been fixed
• Ngie Cooper fixed a number of issues reported by the Coverity source scanner.

Special thanks to the OSS-Fuzz project, who recently added libarchive to their fuzz-test cluster for ongoing verification.
