16 Changes for the 5.26 release (the cctools-757 release):
17 - Changed open_archive() in archive.c to skip the call to flock() if the archive

20 Changes for the 5.26 release (the cctools-756 release):
21 - Changed main() in ar.c to use a prefix on ranlib that it runs so it runs one
22 from the same place as ar(1) if used in an SDK. Radar bug #6821441.
24 Changes for the 5.26 release (the cctools-752 release):
25 - Ported to build with clang.
26 - Changed Makefile to work around bug 6761248.
28 Changes for the 5.26 release (the cctools-722 release):
29 - Changed open_archive() in archive.c after the call to flock() to check for an
30 return value of -1 and errno value of EAGAIN. And added a loop that sleeps
31 for a second and tries up to 10 times. Radar bug #6085183.
33 Changes for the 5.26 release (the cctools-705 release):

46 Changes for the 5.12 release (the cctools-552 release):
47 - Changed ar(1) to update or add a table of contents when in UNIX standard
48 conformance mode (the default). To do this and not hose archives with fat
49 object turning them into fat files that ar(1) will not operate on a new
50 ranlib(1) option -q is used. This only updates the table of contents when
51 the output would not be a fat file.
52 - Changed archive.[ch] to have a new global variable
53 archive_opened_for_writing which is set to 1 in open_archive() if the
54 file is open(2)'ed with the mode O_RDWR.
55 - Changed main() in ar.c to run ranlib(1) when in UNIX standard conformance
56 mode and archive_opened_for_writing is set using the new -q ranlib(1)

69 Changes for the 5.10 release (the cctools-396 release):
70 - Added support for the -s option from freebsd which is:
71 s Write an object-file index into the archive, or up-
72 date an existing one, even if no other change is
73 made to the archive. You may use this modifier
74 flag either with any operation, or alone. Running
75 `ar s' on an archive is equivalent to running `ran-
77 this is done by just running ranlib to ease porting. When this is done the
78 new ranlib(1) flag -f will be used to generate a warning when a fat archive
79 is created as a result of the ranlib operation and the resulting file will
81 - Added the AR_S constant to archive.h
82 - Added the code to parse out -s and -V in main() in ar.c
83 - Updated the usage() lines in ar.c

101 field ts_sec was changed to tv_sec. Three places (Radar bug #2284290).
103 Changes for the 5.3 release, MacOS X bringup (the cctools-282 release):
104 - Change it so the ar sources are included with the installMWsrc target in the
106 - Changed the Makefile to allow for RC_OS=macos for MacOS X builds.
108 Changes for the 5.2 release (the cctools-267 release):

133 - Changed the Makefile to use gnutar instead of tar because it works on Rhapsody
136 Changes for the 5.0 release (the cctools-235 release):
