Management of ADF files: adflib V0.8.0 for Windows, Linux and macOS
Laurent Clevy first released adflib in 1999 in version 0.7.8 (Aminet). The portable C library, written mainly in C, is used to manage Amiga-formatted devices such as hard disks and ZIP disks or to swap them out via the .ADF format. Besides Volker Schwaberow's approach to convert the library into the programming language Rust, the original library is now also being updated, currently maintained by Tomasz Wolak.
Reading files has been bug-fixed and writing them has been introduced as a new function. Changes in version 0.8.0:
- full file read and write support
- added support for hard- and soft links
- added Linux native devices
- updated and improved unadf
- added new command-line utilities:adf_floppy_create, adf_floppy_format, adf_show_metadata
- numerous bugfixes and improvements
- more extensive testing
- added configuration to build with CMake (ie. to facilitate building for Windows)
- added (unofficial) Debian and Ubuntu packaging
