This release fixes reading files larger than 2GB, and writing files where the operating system divides the writing into multiple chunks (in practice, probably also files longer than 2GB). Previously, the amount of data read was subject to integer overflow, and the wrong data (both in content and size) was written when it was written in multiple passes. I’ve never had a bug report about this, but apologies to anyone who ran into it!
This release fixes the build on systems that may need more replacements libc functions than a typical GNU system, such as Microsoft Windows. There are some minor updates to the build system.
