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- Fix outdated threading related information on the man page.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.
