+### Changes
+* [#55](https://github.com/cleverage/archive-process-bundle/issues/55) `UnzipTask` (`archive_unzip`): new `max_files` and `max_size` options (default `null`, no limit) to protect the server against "zip bombs": the number of entries and their total uncompressed size are checked before anything is extracted, the task fails with a `RuntimeException` when a limit is exceeded. Update documentation, add tests.

 * Options are resolved on each execution of the task: when the task receives several inputs (e.g. after an iterable
   task), each input is extracted with its own `filename` and `destination`.
 * See the [Import the CSV files of an uploaded archive](../../cookbooks/import_archive.md) cookbook.
+* With an archive that is not trusted (received from a partner, uploaded by a user...), set `max_files` and `max_size`
+  to protect the server against "zip bombs": they are checked from the central directory of the archive before
+  anything is extracted, and the task fails with a `RuntimeException` when a limit is exceeded. An extraction failing
+  for another reason (e.g. a write error) may leave the entries already extracted in the destination directory.
