Major changes were made to the organization of this repo, with the library backhand now being separated from
the backhand-cli package, which is used to install unsquashfs, replace, and add.

backhand

Changes

• Following changes were done to allow multi-threaded applications (#278)
  • Change RefCell<Box<T>> into Arc<Mutex<T>>
  • Change RefCell<T> into Mutex<T>
  • Change Rc<T> into Arc<T>
  • Change dyn CompressionAction to dyn CompressionAction + Send + Sync for Kind uses
  • Change BufReadSeek: BufRead + Seek {} to BufReadSeek: BufRead + Seek + Send {}
• Allow user provided read/write files to not be static (@rbran) (#285)
• Bump MSRV to 1.67.1
• Allow creating and reading uncompressed files (@rbran) (#365)
• Allow calling FilesystemWriter::write with Owned and RefMut writer (@rbran) (#361)
• Push dir, file, etc, with lifetimes unrelated to reader from from_fs_reader (@rbran) (#361)
  For example, the following is now allowed:

-   let mut output = File::create(&args.out).unwrap();
-   if let Err(e) = filesystem.write(&mut output) {
+   let output = File::create(&args.out).unwrap();
+   if let Err(e) = filesystem.write(output) {

Bug Fix

• When creating an empty image using FilesystemWriter::default(), correctly create the ID table for UID and GID entries. Reported: (@hwittenborn) (!250), Fixed: (#275)
• Remove manual Clone impl for FilesystemReaderFile (#277)
• Increase DirectoryIndex::name_size length from 100 to 255. (@eatradish) (!282), Fixed: (#283)
• Prevent push_file "file within file", will now return InvalidFilePath (@rbran) (#364)
• Fix gid and uid for push_dir_all(..) (#360)

Security

• Only allow root and simple filenames into DirEntry (@rbran) (#271)
