{{highlight |text=Thomas Laurenson}} seems to have figured that yesterday's 0.9.10 release of {{highlight |text=mpqcli}} merited a version bump, since it is a rather big release.

He also included a contribution by me to add the `compact` subcommand which defragments an MPQ archive, thus shrinking it in size if it contains any gaps from previous `add`s or `remove`s.

So, version 0.9.10 is not available anymore, but instead [version 0.10.0 of mpqcli](https://github.com/TheGrayDot/mpqcli/releases/tag/v0.10.0) is out!

{{highlight |text=Thomas Laurenson}} just released [version 0.9.10 of mpqcli](https://github.com/TheGrayDot/mpqcli/releases/tag/v0.10.0) two hours ago. As previously covered here, {{highlight |text=mpqcli}} is a tool for creating and modding MPQ files, used for loading custom data into games.

Both {{highlight |text=Thomas Laurenson}} and myself have made several contributions to the release, which is rather large:

**Added**

- Support passing multiple files to the `add` and `remove` subcommands
- Support reading file paths from stdin in the `add` and `remove` subcommands
- Support adding entire directories with the `add` subcommand
- Add an `--update` flag to the `add` subcommand. When given, files whose archived size matches the on-disk size won't be added to save time.

**Fixed**

- `extract` subcommand now reports an error when the output directory cannot be created
- Path traversal guard in `extract` uses fully resolved paths, closing a potential bypass
- Crash when reading strong signatures from malformed or truncated archives
- Docker glibc image updated to ubuntu:24.04
- Adding files is now ordered and operating system agnostic
- `add` subcommand now returns non-zero exit codes on failure
- Error messages now include StormLib error codes
- Duplicate error messages removed
- Makefile build targets corrected

**Changed**

- The `--path` flag on add now acts as an archive path prefix when a directory is given, and the full name when a file is given.

**Removed**

- `--filename-in-archive` and `--directory-in-archive`. They are now replaced by a unified `--path` flag
