XZ Utils User-Visible Changes

XZ Utils Release Notes
|
||||||
=============================
|
======================
|

||||||
|
5.1.1alpha (2011-04-12)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* All fixes from 5.0.2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* liblzma fixes that will also be included in 5.0.3:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- A memory leak was fixed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates an empty .xz
|
||||||
|
Block if encoding an empty buffer. Such an empty Block with
|
||||||
|
LZMA2 data would trigger a bug in 5.0.1 and older (see the
|
||||||
|
first bullet point in 5.0.2 notes). When releasing 5.0.2,
|
||||||
|
I thought that no encoder creates this kind of files but
|
||||||
|
I was wrong.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Validate function arguments better in a few functions. Most
|
||||||
|
importantly, specifying an unsupported integrity check to
|
||||||
|
lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates a corrupt .xz
|
||||||
|
file. Probably no application tries to do that, so this
|
||||||
|
shouldn't be a big problem in practice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Document that lzma_block_buffer_encode(),
|
||||||
|
lzma_easy_buffer_encode(), lzma_stream_encoder(), and
|
||||||
|
lzma_stream_buffer_encode() may return LZMA_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The return values of the _memusage() functions are now
|
||||||
|
documented better.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Support for multithreaded compression was added using the simplest
|
||||||
|
method, which splits the input data into blocks and compresses
|
||||||
|
them independently. Other methods will be added in the future.
|
||||||
|
The current method has room for improvement, e.g. it is possible
|
||||||
|
to reduce the memory usage.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Added the options --single-stream and --block-size=SIZE to xz.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* xzdiff and xzgrep now support .lzo files if lzop is installed.
|
||||||
|
The .tzo suffix is also recognized as a shorthand for .tar.lzo.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Support for short 8.3 filenames under DOS was added to xz. It is
|
||||||
|
experimental and may change before it gets into a stable release.
