5.2.5 (2020-03-17)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* 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.
