New version of PAR2 TBB released

Post by mamisano »

Hey all, just noticed that chuchusoft released an updated version of the multi-threaded PAR2 command line application.
Link: http://www.chuchusoft.com/par2_tbb/download.html

The new version is 0.4-20100203 and the changes are:

Code: Select all

- modified Makefile.am to use "ARCH_SCALAR" instead of "ARCH" to avoid a FreeBSD name clash

- fixed a 64-bit-only bug in reedsolomon-x86_64-mmx.s where a size of 8 bytes caused a segfault (forgot to test for zero like the reedsolomon-i686-mmx.s file does); 
this bug only manifests in the 64-bit Mac, 64-bit Linux and 64-bit FreeBSD versions; reproduced by creating/repairing a file of exactly 16384 bytes

- updated to Intel TBB 2.2 (tbb22_20090809oss)

- the Mac build no longer includes the PowerPC variants (I don't use a PowerPC Mac anymore)

- the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows builds of both par2 and the TBB library are now statically linked against the C runtime library to avoid the problem of requiring the 
installation of the correct CRT library (DLL). As well, par2 is statically linked against the TBB library to allow just one executable file to be installed (i.e., just par2.exe).
