misdetection of ISO images and ZIP in 5.07


Email from Mark Martinec on this day showing example of ISO and ZIP detected correctly in 5.03 and not correctly in 5.07

Christos responded that it should be fixed in 5.08

file-5.08 is now available



Christos says this "is a bug fix release mostly to revert some magic changes that broke zip detection."

   * Fix detection of Zip files (Mantis #128).
       * Make some minor improvements to file(1).
       * Rename MIME types for filesystem objects for consistency with
         xdg-utils. Typically this means that application/x-foo becomes
         inode/foo, but some names also change slightly, e.g.
         application/x-character-device becomes inode/chardevice.
