QuaZIP moving to GitHub

QuaZIP is a Qt/C++ wrapper around Minizip - a library to read and write ZIP archives. QuaZIP provides QIODevice-based access to ZIP archives and files inside them.

SF has been a nice host to this project, but times have changed, and QuaZIP is now moving to GitHub. The latest changes are already there, the docs are now hosted at GitHub Pages, and the bugs should be now reported at GitHub too. The old SVN repo and tickets are staying there for reference.

QuaZIP 0.5.2 and 0.6 are released

QuaZIP is a Qt/C++ wrapper around Minizip, a library for reading and creating ZIP archives.

While QuaZIP 0.5.2 features some minor fixes, QuaZIP 0.6 updates Minizip to 1.1 which brings the long-awaited zip64 support for those who need to read or write files or archives larger than 4 GB. Special thanks to Eric Trinh who created a patch that gave me an idea how to properly implement it without breaking binary compatibility or otherwise introduce too much unneeded changes.

QuaZip 0.2.2 released

QuaZip is a Qt/C++ wrapper around Gilles Vollant's ZIP/UNZIP C package. It allows you to use Qt API to read and write ZIP archives.

The only change in version 0.2.2 from 0.2.1 is addition of LGPL as alternative license by popular demand. Please note, however, that QuaZip is based on Qt which is dual-licensed under GPL/commercial license. Therefore, if you use Open Source Qt, you must use GPL. If you want to benefit from using LGPL you must support Qt by buying commercial license from Trolltech. Fair enough.
