XZ Utils
--------
========
Warning
Important
This is a beta version. Don't trust the files produced by
this version of the software - not even if the software can
uncompress the files properly! This is because the file format
isn't officially frozen yet although changes are very unlikely.
This is a beta version. The .xz file format is now stable though,
which means that files created with the beta version will be
uncompressible with all future XZ Utils versions too (assuming
that there are no catastrophical bugs).
So please test a lot, but don't use for anything serious yet.
liblzma API is pretty stable now, although minor tweaks may still
be done if really needed. The ABI is not stable yet. The major
soname will be bumped right before the first stable release.
Probably it will be bumped to something like .so.5.0.0 because
some distributions using the alpha versions already had to use
other versions than .so.0.0.0.
Excluding the Doxygen style docs in libilzma API headers, the
documentation in this package (including the rest of this
README) is not very up to date, and may contain incorrect or
misleading information.
