XZ Utils Release Notes
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
5.4.7 (2024-05-29)
|
||||
|
||||
* Not changed: Memory sanitizer (MSAN) has a false positive
|
||||
in the CRC CLMUL code which also makes OSS Fuzz unhappy.
|
||||
Valgrind is smarter and doesn't complain.
|
||||
|
||||
A revision to the CLMUL code is coming anyway and this issue
|
||||
will be cleaned up as part of it. It won't be backported to
|
||||
5.6.x or 5.4.x because the old code isn't wrong. There is
|
||||
no reason to risk introducing regressions in old branches
|
||||
just to silence a false positive.
|
||||
|
||||
* liblzma:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
- lzma_str_to_filters(): Fix a missing output pointer
|
||||
initialization (*error_pos = 0). This is very similar
|
||||
to the fix above.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
* 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'"
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix outdated threading related information on the man page.
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
|
||||
* Autotools-based build system (configure):
|
||||
|
||||
- Symbol versioning variant can now be overridden with
|
||||
--enable-symbol-versions. Documentation in INSTALL was
|
||||
updated to match.
|
||||
|
||||
CMake:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add doc/examples/11_file_info.c. It was added to the
|
||||
Git repository in 2017 but forgotten to be added into
|
||||
distribution tarballs.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5.4.6 (2024-01-26)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bug involving internal function pointers in liblzma not
