5.4.0 (2022-12-13)
This bumps the minor version of liblzma because new features were
added. The API and ABI are still backward compatible with liblzma
5.2.x and 5.0.x.
Since 5.3.5beta:
* All fixes from 5.2.10.
* The ARM64 filter is now stable. The xz option is now --arm64.
Decompression requires XZ Utils 5.4.0. In the future the ARM64
filter will be supported by XZ for Java, XZ Embedded (including
the version in Linux), LZMA SDK, and 7-Zip.
* Translations:
- Updated Catalan, Croatian, German, Romanian, and Turkish
translations.
- Updated German man page translations.
- Added Romanian man page translations.
Summary of new features added in the 5.3.x development releases:
* liblzma:
- Added threaded .xz decompressor lzma_stream_decoder_mt().
It can use multiple threads with .xz files that have multiple
Blocks with size information in Block Headers. The threaded
encoder in xz has always created such files.
Single-threaded encoder cannot store the size information in
Block Headers even if one used LZMA_FULL_FLUSH to create
multiple Blocks, so this threaded decoder cannot use multiple
threads with such files.
If there are multiple Streams (concatenated .xz files), one
Stream will be decompressed completely before starting the
next Stream.
- A new decoder flag LZMA_FAIL_FAST was added. It makes the
threaded decompressor report errors soon instead of first
flushing all pending data before the error location.
- New Filter IDs:
* LZMA_FILTER_ARM64 is for ARM64 binaries.
* LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1EXT is for raw LZMA1 streams that don't
necessarily use the end marker.
- Added lzma_str_to_filters(), lzma_str_from_filters(), and
lzma_str_list_filters() to convert a preset or a filter chain
string to a lzma_filter[] and vice versa. These should make
it easier to write applications that allow users to specify
custom compression options.
- Added lzma_filters_free() which can be convenient for freeing
the filter options in a filter chain (an array of lzma_filter
structures).
- lzma_file_info_decoder() to makes it a little easier to get
the Index field from .xz files. This helps in getting the
uncompressed file size but an easy-to-use random access
API is still missing which has existed in XZ for Java for
a long time.
- Added lzma_microlzma_encoder() and lzma_microlzma_decoder().
It is used by erofs-utils and may be used by others too.
The MicroLZMA format is a raw LZMA stream (without end marker)
whose first byte (always 0x00) has been replaced with
bitwise-negation of the LZMA properties (lc/lp/pb). It was
created for use in EROFS but may be used in other contexts
as well where it is important to avoid wasting bytes for
stream headers or footers. The format is also supported by
XZ Embedded (the XZ Embedded version in Linux got MicroLZMA
support in Linux 5.16).
The MicroLZMA encoder API in liblzma can compress into a
fixed-sized output buffer so that as much data is compressed
as can be fit into the buffer while still creating a valid
MicroLZMA stream. This is needed for EROFS.
- Added lzma_lzip_decoder() to decompress the .lz (lzip) file
format version 0 and the original unextended version 1 files.
Also lzma_auto_decoder() supports .lz files.
- lzma_filters_update() can now be used with the multi-threaded
encoder (lzma_stream_encoder_mt()) to change the filter chain
after LZMA_FULL_BARRIER or LZMA_FULL_FLUSH.
- In lzma_options_lzma, allow nice_len = 2 and 3 with the match
finders that require at least 3 or 4. Now it is internally
rounded up if needed.
- CLMUL-based CRC64 on x86-64 and E2K with runtime processor
detection. On 32-bit x86 it currently isn't available unless
--disable-assembler is used which can make the non-CLMUL
CRC64 slower; this might be fixed in the future.
- Building with --disable-threads --enable-small
is now thread-safe if the compiler supports
__attribute__((__constructor__)).
* xz:
- Using -T0 (--threads=0) will now use multi-threaded encoder
even on a single-core system. This is to ensure that output
from the same xz binary is identical on both single-core and
multi-core systems.
- --threads=+1 or -T+1 is now a way to put xz into
multi-threaded mode while using only one worker thread.
The + is ignored if the number is not 1.
- A default soft memory usage limit is now used for compression
when -T0 is used and no explicit limit has been specified.
This soft limit is used to restrict the number of threads
but if the limit is exceeded with even one thread then xz
will continue with one thread using the multi-threaded
encoder and this limit is ignored. If the number of threads
is specified manually then no default limit will be used;
this affects only -T0.
This change helps on systems that have very many cores and
using all of them for xz makes no sense. Previously xz -T0
could run out of memory on such systems because it attempted
to reserve memory for too many threads.
This also helps with 32-bit builds which don't have a large
amount of address space that would be required for many
threads. The default soft limit for -T0 is at most 1400 MiB
on all 32-bit platforms.
- Previously a low value in --memlimit-compress wouldn't cause
xz to switch from multi-threaded mode to single-threaded mode
if the limit cannot otherwise be met; xz failed instead. Now
xz can switch to single-threaded mode and then, if needed,
scale down the LZMA2 dictionary size too just like it already
did when it was started in single-threaded mode.
- The option --no-adjust no longer prevents xz from scaling down
the number of threads as that doesn't affect the compressed
output (only performance). Now --no-adjust only prevents
adjustments that affect compressed output, that is, with
--no-adjust xz won't switch from multi-threaded mode to
single-threaded mode and won't scale down the LZMA2
dictionary size.
- Added a new option --memlimit-mt-decompress=LIMIT. This is
used to limit the number of decompressor threads (possibly
falling back to single-threaded mode) but it will never make
xz refuse to decompress a file. This has a system-specific
default value because without any limit xz could end up
allocating memory for the whole compressed input file, the
whole uncompressed output file, multiple thread-specific
decompressor instances and so on. Basically xz could
attempt to use an insane amount of memory even with fairly
common files. The system-specific default value is currently
the same as the one used for compression with -T0.
The new option works together with the existing option
--memlimit-decompress=LIMIT. The old option sets a hard limit
that must not be exceeded (xz will refuse to decompress)
while the new option only restricts the number of threads.
If the limit set with --memlimit-mt-decompress is greater
than the limit set with --memlimit-compress, then the latter
value is used also for --memlimit-mt-decompress.
- Added new information to the output of xz --info-memory and
new fields to the output of xz --robot --info-memory.
- In --lzma2=nice=NUMBER allow 2 and 3 with all match finders
now that liblzma handles it.
- Don't mention endianness for ARM and ARM-Thumb filters in
--long-help. The filters only work for little endian
instruction encoding but modern ARM processors using
big endian data access still use little endian
instruction encoding. So the help text was misleading.
In contrast, the PowerPC filter is only for big endian
32/64-bit PowerPC code. Little endian PowerPC would need
a separate filter.
- Added decompression support for the .lz (lzip) file format
version 0 and the original unextended version 1. It is
autodetected by default. See also the option --format on
the xz man page.
- Sandboxing enabled by default:
* Capsicum (FreeBSD)
* pledge(2) (OpenBSD)
* Scripts now support the .lz format using xz.
* A few new tests were added.
* The liblzma-specific tests are now supported in CMake-based
builds too ("make test").

5.2.9 (2022-11-30)
* liblzma:
- Fixed an infinite loop in LZMA encoder initialization
if dict_size >= 2 GiB. (The encoder only supports up
to 1536 MiB.)
- Fixed two cases of invalid free() that can happen if
a tiny allocation fails in encoder re-initialization
or in lzma_filters_update(). These bugs had some
similarities with the bug fixed in 5.2.7.
- Fixed lzma_block_encoder() not allowing the use of
LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH with lzma_code() even though it was
documented to be supported. The sync-flush code in
the Block encoder was already used internally via
lzma_stream_encoder(), so this was just a missing flag
in the lzma_block_encoder() API function.
- GNU/Linux only: Don't put symbol versions into static
liblzma as it breaks things in some cases (and even if
it didn't break anything, symbol versions in static
libraries are useless anyway). The downside of the fix
is that if the configure options --with-pic or --without-pic
are used then it's not possible to build both shared and
static liblzma at the same time on GNU/Linux anymore;
with those options --disable-static or --disable-shared
must be used too.

5.2.8 (2022-11-13)
* xz:
- If xz cannot remove an input file when it should, this
is now treated as a warning (exit status 2) instead of
an error (exit status 1). This matches GNU gzip and it
is more logical as at that point the output file has
already been successfully closed.
- Fix handling of .xz files with an unsupported check type.
Previously such printed a warning message but then xz
behaved as if an error had occurred (didn't decompress,
exit status 1). Now a warning is printed, decompression
is done anyway, and exit status is 2. This used to work
slightly before 5.0.0. In practice this bug matters only
if xz has been built with some check types disabled. As
instructed in PACKAGERS, such builds should be done in
special situations only.
- Fix "xz -dc --single-stream tests/files/good-0-empty.xz"
which failed with "Internal error (bug)". That is,
--single-stream was broken if the first .xz stream in
the input file didn't contain any uncompressed data.
- Fix displaying file sizes in the progress indicator when
working in passthru mode and there are multiple input files.
Just like "gzip -cdf", "xz -cdf" works like "cat" when the
input file isn't a supported compressed file format. In
this case the file size counters weren't reset between
files so with multiple input files the progress indicator
displayed an incorrect (too large) value.
* liblzma:
- API docs in lzma/container.h:
* Update the list of decoder flags in the decoder
function docs.
* Explain LZMA_CONCATENATED behavior with .lzma files
in lzma_auto_decoder() docs.
- OpenBSD: Use HW_NCPUONLINE to detect the number of
available hardware threads in lzma_physmem().
- Fix use of wrong macro to detect x86 SSE2 support.
__SSE2_MATH__ was used with GCC/Clang but the correct
one is __SSE2__. The first one means that SSE2 is used
for floating point math which is irrelevant here.
The affected SSE2 code isn't used on x86-64 so this affects
only 32-bit x86 builds that use -msse2 without -mfpmath=sse
(there is no runtime detection for SSE2). It improves LZMA
compression speed (not decompression).
- Fix the build with Intel C compiler 2021 (ICC, not ICX)
on Linux. It defines __GNUC__ to 10 but doesn't support
the __symver__ attribute introduced in GCC 10.
* Scripts: Ignore warnings from xz by using --quiet --no-warn.
This is needed if the input .xz files use an unsupported
check type.
* Translations:
- Updated Croatian and Turkish translations.
- One new translations wasn't included because it needed
technical fixes. It will be in upcoming 5.4.0. No new
translations will be added to the 5.2.x branch anymore.
- Renamed the French man page translation file from
fr_FR.po to fr.po and thus also its install directory
(like /usr/share/man/fr_FR -> .../fr).
- Man page translations for upcoming 5.4.0 are now handled
in the Translation Project.
* Update doc/faq.txt a little so it's less out-of-date.

5.2.7 (2022-09-30)
* liblzma:
- Made lzma_filters_copy() to never modify the destination
array if an error occurs. lzma_stream_encoder() and
lzma_stream_encoder_mt() already assumed this. Before this
change, if a tiny memory allocation in lzma_filters_copy()
failed it would lead to a crash (invalid free() or invalid
memory reads) in the cleanup paths of these two encoder
initialization functions.
- Added missing integer overflow check to lzma_index_append().
This affects xz --list and other applications that decode
the Index field from .xz files using lzma_index_decoder().
Normal decompression of .xz files doesn't call this code
and thus most applications using liblzma aren't affected
by this bug.
- Single-threaded .xz decoder (lzma_stream_decoder()): If
lzma_code() returns LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR it is now possible
to use lzma_memlimit_set() to increase the limit and continue
decoding. This was supposed to work from the beginning
but there was a bug. With other decoders (.lzma or
threaded .xz decoder) this already worked correctly.
- Fixed accumulation of integrity check type statistics in
lzma_index_cat(). This bug made lzma_index_checks() return
only the type of the integrity check of the last Stream
when multiple lzma_indexes were concatenated. Most
applications don't use these APIs but in xz it made
xz --list not list all check types from concatenated .xz
files. In xz --list --verbose only the per-file "Check:"
lines were affected and in xz --robot --list only the "file"
line was affected.
- Added ABI compatibility with executables that were linked
against liblzma in RHEL/CentOS 7 or other liblzma builds
that had copied the problematic patch from RHEL/CentOS 7
(xz-5.2.2-compat-libs.patch). For the details, see the
comment at the top of src/liblzma/validate_map.sh.
WARNING: This uses __symver__ attribute with GCC >= 10.
In other cases the traditional __asm__(".symver ...")
is used. Using link-time optimization (LTO, -flto) with
GCC versions older than 10 can silently result in
broken liblzma.so.5 (incorrect symbol versions)! If you
want to use -flto with GCC, you must use GCC >= 10.
LTO with Clang seems to work even with the traditional
__asm__(".symver ...") method.
* xzgrep: Fixed compatibility with old shells that break if
comments inside command substitutions have apostrophes (').
This problem was introduced in 5.2.6.
* Build systems:
- New #define in config.h: HAVE_SYMBOL_VERSIONS_LINUX
- Windows: Fixed liblzma.dll build with Visual Studio project
files. It broke in 5.2.6 due to a change that was made to
improve CMake support.
- Windows: Building liblzma with UNICODE defined should now
work.
- CMake files are now actually included in the release tarball.
They should have been in 5.2.5 already.
- Minor CMake fixes and improvements.
* Added a new translation: Turkish

5.2.6 (2022-08-12)
* xz:
- The --keep option now accepts symlinks, hardlinks, and
setuid, setgid, and sticky files. Previously this required
using --force.
- When copying metadata from the source file to the destination
file, don't try to set the group (GID) if it is already set
correctly. This avoids a failure on OpenBSD (and possibly on
a few other OSes) where files may get created so that their
group doesn't belong to the user, and fchown(2) can fail even
if it needs to do nothing.
- Cap --memlimit-compress to 2000 MiB instead of 4020 MiB on
MIPS32 because on MIPS32 userspace processes are limited
to 2 GiB of address space.
* liblzma:
- Fixed a missing error-check in the threaded encoder. If a
small memory allocation fails, a .xz file with an invalid
Index field would be created. Decompressing such a file would
produce the correct output but result in an error at the end.
Thus this is a "mild" data corruption bug. Note that while
a failed memory allocation can trigger the bug, it cannot
cause invalid memory access.
- The decoder for .lzma files now supports files that have
uncompressed size stored in the header and still use the
end of payload marker (end of stream marker) at the end
of the LZMA stream. Such files are rare but, according to
the documentation in LZMA SDK, they are valid.
doc/lzma-file-format.txt was updated too.
- Improved 32-bit x86 assembly files:
* Support Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET)
* Use non-executable stack on FreeBSD.
- Visual Studio: Use non-standard _MSVC_LANG to detect C++
standard version in the lzma.h API header. It's used to
detect when "noexcept" can be used.
* xzgrep:
- Fixed arbitrary command injection via a malicious filename
(CVE-2022-1271, ZDI-CAN-16587). A standalone patch for
this was released to the public on 2022-04-07. A slight
robustness improvement has been made since then and, if
using GNU or *BSD grep, a new faster method is now used
that doesn't use the old sed-based construct at all. This
also fixes bad output with GNU grep >= 3.5 (2020-09-27)
when xzgrepping binary files.
This vulnerability was discovered by:
cleemy desu wayo working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative
- Fixed detection of corrupt .bz2 files.
- Improved error handling to fix exit status in some situations
and to fix handling of signals: in some situations a signal
didn't make xzgrep exit when it clearly should have. It's
possible that the signal handling still isn't quite perfect
but hopefully it's good enough.
- Documented exit statuses on the man page.
- xzegrep and xzfgrep now use "grep -E" and "grep -F" instead
of the deprecated egrep and fgrep commands.
- Fixed parsing of the options -E, -F, -G, -P, and -X. The
problem occurred when multiple options were specied in
a single argument, for example,
echo foo | xzgrep -Fe foo
treated foo as a filename because -Fe wasn't correctly
split into -F -e.
- Added zstd support.
* xzdiff/xzcmp:
- Fixed wrong exit status. Exit status could be 2 when the
correct value is 1.
- Documented on the man page that exit status of 2 is used
for decompression errors.
- Added zstd support.
* xzless:
- Fix less(1) version detection. It failed if the version number
from "less -V" contained a dot.
* Translations:
- Added new translations: Catalan, Croatian, Esperanto,
Korean, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish,
and Ukrainian
- Updated the Brazilian Portuguese translation.
- Added French man page translation. This and the existing
German translation aren't complete anymore because the
English man pages got a few updates and the translators
weren't reached so that they could update their work.
* Build systems:
- Windows: Fix building of resource files when config.h isn't
used. CMake + Visual Studio can now build liblzma.dll.
- Various fixes to the CMake support. Building static or shared
liblzma should work fine in most cases. In contrast, building
the command line tools with CMake is still clearly incomplete
and experimental and should be used for testing only.

Bump PKGREVISION

All checksums have been double-checked against existing RMD160 and SHA512
hashes.

5.2.5:
* liblzma:
- Fixed several C99/C11 conformance bugs. Now the code is clean
under gcc/clang -fsanitize=undefined. Some of these changes
might have a negative effect on performance with old GCC
versions or compilers other than GCC and Clang. The configure
option --enable-unsafe-type-punning can be used to (mostly)
restore the old behavior but it shouldn't normally be used.
- Improved API documentation of lzma_properties_decode().
- Added a very minor encoder speed optimization.
* xz:
- Fixed a crash in "xz -dcfv not_an_xz_file". All four options
were required to trigger it. The crash occurred in the
progress indicator code when xz was in passthru mode where
xz works like "cat".
- Fixed an integer overflow with 32-bit off_t. It could happen
when decompressing a file that has a long run of zero bytes
which xz would try to write as a sparse file. Since the build
system enables large file support by default, off_t is
normally 64-bit even on 32-bit systems.
- Fixes for --flush-timeout:
* Fix semi-busy-waiting.
* Avoid unneeded flushes when no new input has arrived
since the previous flush was completed.
- Added a special case for 32-bit xz: If --memlimit-compress is
used to specify a limit that exceeds 4020 MiB, the limit will
be set to 4020 MiB. The values "0" and "max" aren't affected
by this and neither is decompression. This hack can be
helpful when a 32-bit xz has access to 4 GiB address space
but the specified memlimit exceeds 4 GiB. This can happen
e.g. with some scripts.
- Capsicum sandbox is now enabled by default where available
(FreeBSD >= 10). The sandbox debug messages (xz -vv) were
removed since they seemed to be more annoying than useful.
- DOS build now requires DJGPP 2.05 instead of 2.04beta.
A workaround for a locale problem with DJGPP 2.05 was added.
* xzgrep and other scripts:
- Added a configure option --enable-path-for-scripts=PREFIX.
It is disabled by default except on Solaris where the default
is /usr/xpg4/bin. See INSTALL for details.
- Added a workaround for a POSIX shell detection problem on
Solaris.
* Build systems:
- Added preliminary build instructions for z/OS. See INSTALL
section 1.2.9.
- Experimental CMake support was added. It should work to build
static liblzma on a few operating systems. It may or may not
work to build shared liblzma. On some platforms it can build
xz and xzdec too but those are only for testing. See the
comment in the beginning of CMakeLists.txt for details.
- Visual Studio project files were updated.
WindowsTargetPlatformVersion was removed from VS2017 files
and set to "10.0" in the added VS2019 files. In the future
the VS project files will be removed when CMake support is
good enough.
- New #defines in config.h: HAVE___BUILTIN_ASSUME_ALIGNED,
HAVE___BUILTIN_BSWAPXX, and TUKLIB_USE_UNSAFE_TYPE_PUNNING.
- autogen.sh has a new optional dependency on po4a and a new
option --no-po4a to skip that step. This matters only if one
wants to remake the build files. po4a is used to update the
translated man pages but as long as the man pages haven't
been modified, there's nothing to update and one can use
--no-po4a to avoid the dependency on po4a.
* Translations:
- XZ Utils translations are now handled by the Translation
Project: https://translationproject.org/domain/xz.html
- All man pages are now included in German too.
- New xz translations: Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish,
Hungarian, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional),
and Danish (partial translation)
- Updated xz translations: French, German, Italian, and Polish
- Unfortunately a few new xz translations weren't included due
to technical problems like too long lines in --help output or
misaligned column headings in tables. In the future, many of
these strings will be split and e.g. the table column
alignment will be handled in software. This should make the
strings easier to translate.

pkglint -Wall -F --only aligned --only indent -r
No manual corrections.
|
|
|
|
5.2.4:
* liblzma:
- Allow 0 as memory usage limit instead of returning
LZMA_PROG_ERROR. Now 0 is treated as if 1 byte was specified,
which effectively is the same as 0.
- Use "noexcept" keyword instead of "throw()" in the public
headers when a C++11 (or newer standard) compiler is used.
- Added a portability fix for recent Intel C Compilers.
- Microsoft Visual Studio build files have been moved under
windows/vs2013 and windows/vs2017.
* xz:
- Fix "xz --list --robot missing_or_bad_file.xz" which would
try to print an unitialized string and thus produce garbage
output. Since the exit status is non-zero, most uses of such
a command won't try to interpret the garbage output.
- "xz --list foo.xz" could print "Internal error (bug)" in a
corner case where a specific memory usage limit had been set.
|
|
This is required by upcoming gimp-2.10.0.
|
|
Avoids circular dependency issues as xz with nls depends on gettext-tools if
msgfmt comes from pkgsrc, which in turn depends on xz.
|
|
Bump PKGREVISION as package built previously but with wrong localedir.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
5.2.3 (2016-12-30)
* xz:
- Always close a file before trying to delete it to avoid
problems on some operating system and file system combinations.
- Fixed copying of file timestamps on Windows.
- Added experimental (disabled by default) sandbox support using
Capsicum (FreeBSD >= 10). See --enable-sandbox in INSTALL.
* C99/C11 conformance fixes to liblzma. The issues affected at least
some builds using link-time optimizations.
* Fixed bugs in the rarely-used function lzma_index_dup().
* Use of external SHA-256 code is now disabled by default.
It can still be enabled by passing --enable-external-sha256
to configure. The reasons to disable it by default (see INSTALL
for more details):
- Some OS-specific SHA-256 implementations conflict with
OpenSSL and cause problems in programs that link against both
liblzma and libcrypto. At least FreeBSD 10 and MINIX 3.3.0
are affected.
- The internal SHA-256 is faster than the SHA-256 code in
some operating systems.
* Changed CPU core count detection to use sched_getaffinity() on
GNU/Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD.
* Fixes to the build-system and xz to make xz buildable even when
encoders, decoders, or threading have been disabled from libilzma
using configure options. These fixes added two new #defines to
config.h: HAVE_ENCODERS and HAVE_DECODERS.

to enable the nls option by default if gettext is not builtin.
Also, the nls option needs the msg* tools.
|
|
* Fixed bugs in QNX-specific code.
* Omitted the use of pipe2() even if it is available to avoid
portability issues with some old Linux and glibc combinations.
* Updated German translation.
* Added project files to build static and shared liblzma (not the
whole XZ Utils) with Visual Studio 2013 update 2 or later.
* Documented that threaded decompression hasn't been implemented
yet. A 5.2.0 NEWS entry describing multi-threading support had
incorrectly said "decompression" when it should have said
"compression".
|
|
* Fixed a compression-ratio regression in fast mode of LZMA1 and
LZMA2. The bug is present in 5.1.4beta and 5.2.0 releases.
* Fixed a portability problem in xz that affected at least OpenBSD.
* Fixed xzdiff to be compatible with FreeBSD's mktemp which differs
from most other mktemp implementations.
* Changed CPU core count detection to use cpuset_getaffinity() on
FreeBSD.

up first.
|
|
* liblzma:
- Added support for multi-threaded compression. See the
lzma_mt structure, lzma_stream_encoder_mt(), and
lzma_stream_encoder_mt_memusage() in <lzma/container.h>,
lzma_get_progress() in <lzma/base.h>, and lzma_cputhreads()
in <lzma/hardware.h> for details.
- Made the uses of lzma_allocator const correct.
- Added lzma_block_uncomp_encode() to create uncompressed
.xz Blocks using LZMA2 uncompressed chunks.
- Added support for LZMA_IGNORE_CHECK.
- A few speed optimizations were made.
- Added support for symbol versioning. It is enabled by default
on GNU/Linux, other GNU-based systems, and FreeBSD.
- liblzma (not the whole XZ Utils) should now be buildable
with MSVC 2013 update 2 or later using windows/config.h.
* xz:
- Fixed a race condition in the signal handling. It was
possible that e.g. the first SIGINT didn't make xz exit
if reading or writing blocked and one had bad luck. The fix
is non-trivial, so as of writing it is unknown if it will be
backported to the v5.0 branch.
- Multi-threaded decompression can be enabled with the
--threads (-T) option.
- New command line options in xz: --single-stream,
--block-size=SIZE, --block-list=SIZES,
--flush-timeout=TIMEOUT, and --ignore-check.
- xz -lvv now shows the minimum xz version that is required to
decompress the file. Currently it is 5.0.0 for all supported
.xz files except files with empty LZMA2 streams require 5.0.2.
* xzdiff and xzgrep now support .lzo files if lzop is installed.
The .tzo suffix is also recognized as a shorthand for .tar.lzo.

gettext is not required.

* Fix regressions introduced in 5.0.6:
- Fix building with non-GNU make.
- Fix invalid Libs.private value in liblzma.pc which broke
static linking against liblzma if the linker flags were
taken from pkg-config.

Default value set in mk/bsd.buildlink3.mk should be sufficient.
Moreover, this guess will not works well on Haiku. Its header files are in
"headers", not "include".

Fixes issues where a newer GCC has been chosen by the user but the GCC_REQD
was forcing an older (and broken) one to be pulled regardless.

* On Microsoft Windows platform, liblzma.def is created to import librares

* lzmadec and liblzma's lzma_alone_decoder(): Support decompressing
.lzma files that have less common settings in the headers
(dictionary size other than 2^n or 2^n + 2^(n-1), or uncompressed
size greater than 256 GiB). The limitations existed to avoid false
positives when detecting .lzma files. The lc + lp <= 4 limitation
still remains since liblzma's LZMA decoder has that limitation.
NOTE: xz's .lzma support or liblzma's lzma_auto_decoder() are NOT
affected by this change. They still consider uncommon .lzma headers
as not being in the .lzma format. Changing this would give way too
many false positives.
* xz:
- Interaction of preset and custom filter chain options was
made less illogical. This affects only certain less typical
uses cases so few people are expected to notice this change.
Now when a custom filter chain option (e.g. --lzma2) is
specified, all preset options (-0 ... -9, -e) earlier are on
the command line are completely forgotten. Similarly, when
a preset option is specified, all custom filter chain options
earlier on the command line are completely forgotten.
Example 1: "xz -9 --lzma2=preset=5 -e" is equivalent to "xz -e"
which is equivalent to "xz -6e". Earlier -e didn't put xz back
into preset mode and thus the example command was equivalent
to "xz --lzma2=preset=5".
Example 2: "xz -9e --lzma2=preset=5 -7" is equivalent to
"xz -7". Earlier a custom filter chain option didn't make
xz forget the -e option so the example was equivalent to
"xz -7e".
- Fixes and improvements to error handling.
- Various fixes to the man page.
* xzless: Fixed to work with "less" versions 448 and later.
* xzgrep: Made -h an alias for --no-filename.
* Include the previously missing debug/translation.bash which can
be useful for translators.
* Include a build script for Mac OS X. This has been in the Git
repository since 2010 but due to a mistake in Makefile.am the
script hasn't been included in a release tarball before.

* liblzma:
- Fix lzma_index_init(). It could crash if memory allocation failed.
- Fix the possibility of an incorrect LZMA_BUF_ERROR when a BCJ
filter is used and the application only provides exactly as
much output space as is the uncompressed size of the file.
- Fix a bug in doc/examples_old/xz_pipe_decompress.c. It didn't
check if the last call to lzma_code() really returned
LZMA_STREAM_END, which made the program think that truncated
files are valid.
- New example programs in doc/examples (old programs are now in
doc/examples_old). These have more comments and more detailed
error handling.
* Fix "xz -lvv foo.xz". It could crash on some corrupted files.
* Fix output of "xz --robot -lv" and "xz --robot -lvv" which
incorrectly printed the filename also in the "foo (x/x)" format.
* Fix exit status of "xzdiff foo.xz bar.xz".
* Fix exit status of "xzgrep foo binary_file".
* Fix portability to EBCDIC systems.
* Fix a configure issue on AIX with the XL C compiler. See INSTALL
for details.
* Update French, German, Italian, and Polish translations.

of setups, and is recommended as part of the xz INSTALL file.
Fixes Solaris9/x86/gcc at least, tested on SmartOS which is otherwise fine.

* liblzma fixes:
- A memory leak was fixed.
- lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates an empty .xz
Block if encoding an empty buffer. Such an empty Block with
LZMA2 data would trigger a bug in 5.0.1 and older (see the
first bullet point in 5.0.2 notes). When releasing 5.0.2,
I thought that no encoder creates this kind of files but
I was wrong.
- Validate function arguments better in a few functions. Most
importantly, specifying an unsupported integrity check to
lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates a corrupt .xz
file. Probably no application tries to do that, so this
shouldn't be a big problem in practice.
- Document that lzma_block_buffer_encode(),
lzma_easy_buffer_encode(), lzma_stream_encoder(), and
lzma_stream_buffer_encode() may return LZMA_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK.
- The return values of the _memusage() functions are now
documented better.
* Fix command name detection in xzgrep. xzegrep and xzfgrep now
correctly use egrep and fgrep instead of grep.
* French translation was added.

* LZMA2 decompressor now correctly accepts LZMA2 streams with no
uncompressed data. Previously it considered them corrupt. The
bug can affect applications that use raw LZMA2 streams. It is
very unlikely to affect .xz files because no compressor creates
.xz files with empty LZMA2 streams. (Empty .xz files are a
different thing than empty LZMA2 streams.)
* "xz --suffix=.foo filename.foo" now refuses to compress the
file due to it already having the suffix .foo. It was already
documented on the man page, but the code lacked the test.
* "xzgrep -l foo bar.xz" works now.
* Polish translation was added.
|
|
* xz --force now (de)compresses files that have setuid, setgid,
The man page had it documented this way already, but the code
had a bug.
* gzip and bzip2 support in xzdiff was fixed.
* Portability fixes
* Minor fix to Czech translation
|
|
* The memory usage limit is now disabled by default.
* Added support for XZ_DEFAULTS environment variable.
* The compression settings associated with the preset levels
-0 ... -9 have been changed. --extreme was changed a little too.
* If a preset level (-0 ... -9) is specified after a custom filter
chain options have been used (e.g. --lzma2), the custom filter
chain will be forgotten. Earlier the preset options were
completely ignored after custom filter chain options had been seen.
* xz will create sparse files when decompressing if the uncompressed
data contains long sequences of binary zeros.
* Support for "xz --list" was added. Combine with --verbose or
--verbose --verbose (-vv) for detailed output.
* I had hoped that liblzma API would have been stable after
4.999.9beta, but there have been a couple of changes in the
advanced features, which don't affect most applications:
- Index handling code was revised. If you were using the old
API, you will get a compiler error (so it's easy to notice).
- A subtle but important change was made to the Block handling
API. lzma_block.version has to be initialized even for
lzma_block_header_decode(). Code that doesn't do it will work
for now, but might break in the future, which makes this API
change easy to miss.
* The major soname has been bumped to 5.0.0. liblzma API and ABI
are now stable, so the need to recompile programs linking against
liblzma shouldn't arise soon.

With gcc 3.3.3 (from NetBSD/i386 3.1) there are problems with
undefined references to LZMA_CRC32_TABLE and LZMA_CRC64_TABLE in crc32.S
