SZS Change Log
1. szs v2.02a r7827 - 2019-05-04
- New option for wlect: --move1-tracks: Files with more than one hard link
are copied and removed and not moved to create an unique version of the
file.
- New assigning operator for BMG text files: "MID1 : MID2": Copy attributes
and text of message MID2 to message MID1. Forward and chained references
are allowed. Multi message ids like 'T12' are supported on both sides.
- New escape sequence for BMG text files: \m{a,b,...}: Each parameter is
interpreted as message id. If a message with given ID exists (must be
defined before and must not have an assigned value), then insert the text
of the message.
- New option for wszst EXTRACT: --basedir=DIRECTORY: Extract only files from
archives, that are below the DIRECTORY. Leading points and slashes and
trailing slahes are removed from the parameter. --bdir is short cut.
- New command: wszst XCOMMON: Scan archives and extract files from archives,
that are below directory 'common'. Command XCOMMON is a short cut for
EXTRACT --basedir=common.

machine readable format.
2. szs v2.01b r7802 - 2019-03-21
- Bug fix for v2.01a: The string support of the text parser had an memory
allocation bug. wctct uses the new string functions since v2.01 and
produces occasional (~25%) wrong CT-CODE files (strap files).
3. szs v2.01a r7798 - 2019-03-16
- Bug fix for BMG processing: Tools ran into endless loop, if an incorrect
1A-escape tells a length of zero.
- BMG Filter option --msg renamed to the more meaningful name --filter-bmg.
The old name is still available.
- BMG Filter option --filter-bmg=modes supports more keywords now.
See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/filter-bmg for details.
- Option --patch-bmg=mode[cond][=param]: The new optional condition COND is
either '?MID' or '!MID'. In case of '?MID', the patch is only applied if
the message id MID already exists. In case of '!MID', the patch is only
applied if the message id MID does not exists.
- New command: wszst NAME-REF: For each BRRES file or subfile, create a name
based cross reference and print the result as list in selectable order.
- Some minor bugs on arena name replication to CT/LE slots fixed.
- New option: --links: Support hardlinks if creating U8 and WU8 archives.
Keep hardlinks if normalizing U8 and WU8 archives. On extracting, search
hardlinks in every archive and try to create hardlinks at local file system.
