XZ Utils Release Notes
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
5.0.5 (2013-06-30)
|
||||
|
||||
* lzmadec and liblzma's lzma_alone_decoder(): Support decompressing
|
||||
.lzma files that have less common settings in the headers
|
||||
(dictionary size other than 2^n or 2^n + 2^(n-1), or uncompressed
|
||||
size greater than 256 GiB). The limitations existed to avoid false
|
||||
positives when detecting .lzma files. The lc + lp <= 4 limitation
|
||||
still remains since liblzma's LZMA decoder has that limitation.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: xz's .lzma support or liblzma's lzma_auto_decoder() are NOT
|
||||
affected by this change. They still consider uncommon .lzma headers
|
||||
as not being in the .lzma format. Changing this would give way too
|
||||
many false positives.
|
||||
|
||||
* xz:
|
||||
|
||||
- Interaction of preset and custom filter chain options was
|
||||
made less illogical. This affects only certain less typical
|
||||
uses cases so few people are expected to notice this change.
|
||||
|
||||
Now when a custom filter chain option (e.g. --lzma2) is
|
||||
specified, all preset options (-0 ... -9, -e) earlier are on
|
||||
the command line are completely forgotten. Similarly, when
|
||||
a preset option is specified, all custom filter chain options
|
||||
earlier on the command line are completely forgotten.
|
||||
|
||||
Example 1: "xz -9 --lzma2=preset=5 -e" is equivalent to "xz -e"
|
||||
which is equivalent to "xz -6e". Earlier -e didn't put xz back
|
||||
into preset mode and thus the example command was equivalent
|
||||
to "xz --lzma2=preset=5".
|
||||
|
||||
Example 2: "xz -9e --lzma2=preset=5 -7" is equivalent to
|
||||
"xz -7". Earlier a custom filter chain option didn't make
|
||||
xz forget the -e option so the example was equivalent to
|
||||
"xz -7e".
|
||||
|
||||
- Fixes and improvements to error handling.
|
||||
|
||||
- Various fixes to the man page.
|
||||
|
||||
* xzless: Fixed to work with "less" versions 448 and later.
|
||||
|
||||
* xzgrep: Made -h an alias for --no-filename.
|
||||
|
||||
* Include the previously missing debug/translation.bash which can
|
||||
be useful for translators.
|
||||
|
||||
* Include a build script for Mac OS X. This has been in the Git
|
||||
repository since 2010 but due to a mistake in Makefile.am the
|
||||
script hasn't been included in a release tarball before.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
