It was verified + that there was no other bug than the assertion failure. + + - lzma_index_decoder() and lzma_index_buffer_decode(): Fix + a missing output pointer initialization (*i = NULL) if the + functions are called with invalid arguments. The API docs + say that such an initialization is always done. In practice + this matters very little because the problem can only occur + if the calling application has a bug and these functions + return LZMA_PROG_ERROR. + + - Fix C standard conformance with function pointer types. + This newly showed up with Clang 17 with -fsanitize=undefined. + There are no bug reports about this. + + - Fix building with NVIDIA HPC SDK. + + - Fix building with Windows Vista threads and --enable-small. + (CMake build doesn't support ENABLE_SMALL in XZ Utils 5.2.x.) + + * xz: + + - Fix a C standard conformance issue in --block-list parsing + (arithmetic on a null pointer). + + - Fix a warning from GNU groff when processing the man page: + "warning: cannot select font 'CW'" + + - Windows: Handle special files such as "con" or "nul". Earlier + the following wrote "foo" to the console and deleted the input + file "con_xz": + + echo foo | xz > con_xz + xz --suffix=_xz --decompress con_xz + + - Windows: Fix an issue that prevented reading from or writing + to non-terminal character devices like NUL. + + * xzless: + + - With "less" version 451 and later, use "||-" instead of "|-" + in the environment variable LESSOPEN. This way compressed + files that contain no uncompressed data are shown correctly + as empty. + + - With "less" version 632 and later, use --show-preproc-errors + to make "less" show a warning on decompression errors. + + * Build systems: + + - Add a new line to liblzma.pc for MSYS2 (Windows): + + Cflags.private: -DLZMA_API_STATIC + + When compiling code that will link against static liblzma, + the LZMA_API_STATIC macro needs to be defined on Windows. + + - Autotools (configure): + + * Symbol versioning variant can now be overridden with + --enable-symbol-versions. Documentation in INSTALL was + updated to match. + + - CMake: + + * Fix a bug that prevented other projects from including + liblzma multiple times using find_package(). + + * Fix a bug where configuring CMake multiple times resulted + in HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME and HAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC not being + defined. + + * Fix the build with MinGW-w64-based Clang/LLVM 17. + llvm-windres now has more accurate GNU windres emulation + so the GNU windres workaround from 5.4.1 is needed with + llvm-windres version 17 too. + + * The import library on Windows is now properly named + "liblzma.dll.a" instead of "libliblzma.dll.a" + + * Add large file support by default for platforms that + need it to handle files larger than 2 GiB. This includes + MinGW-w64, even 64-bit builds. + + * Linux on MicroBlaze is handled specially now. This + matches the changes made to the Autotools-based build + in XZ Utils 5.4.2 and 5.2.11. + + * Disable symbol versioning on non-glibc Linux to match + what the Autotools build does. For example, symbol + versioning isn't enabled with musl. + + * Symbol versioning variant can now be overridden by + setting SYMBOL_VERSIONING to "OFF", "generic", or + "linux". + + * Documentation: + + - Clarify the description of --disable-assembler in INSTALL. + The option only affects 32-bit x86 assembly usage. + + - Don't install the TODO file as part of the documentation. + The file is out of date. + + - Update home page URLs back to their old locations on + tukaani.org. + + - Update maintainer info. + + 5.2.12 (2023-05-04) * Fixed a build system bug that prevented building liblzma as a
