lzma_memlimit_encoder and lzma_memlimit_decoder to
lzma_raw_encoder_memlimit and lzma_raw_decoder_memlimit. :-(
Now it is fixed. Hopefully it doesn't cause too much trouble
to those who already thought API is stable.
Half of developers were already forgetting to use these
functions, which could have caused total breakage in some future
liblzma version or even now if --enable-small was used. Now
liblzma uses pthread_once() to do the initializations unless
it has been built with --disable-threads which make these
initializations thread-unsafe.
When --enable-small isn't used, liblzma currently gets needlessly
linked against libpthread (on systems that have it). While it is
stupid for now, liblzma will need threads in future anyway, so
this stupidity will be temporary only.
When --enable-small is used, different code CRC32 and CRC64 is
now used than without --enable-small. This made the resulting
binary slightly smaller, but the main reason was to clean it up
and to handle the lack of lzma_init_check().
The pkg-config file lzma.pc was renamed to liblzma.pc. I'm not
sure if it works correctly and portably for static linking
(Libs.private includes -pthread or other operating system
specific flags). Hopefully someone complains if it is bad.
lzma_rc_prices[] is now included as a precomputed array even
with --enable-small. It's just 128 bytes now that it uses uint8_t
instead of uint32_t. Smaller array seemed to be at least as fast
as the more bloated uint32_t array on x86; hopefully it's not bad
on other architectures.
that was related to LZMA_MODE_FAST. The original code is slightly
faster although it compresses slightly worse. But since it is fast
mode, it is better to select the faster version.
- Updated to the latest, probably final file format version.
- Command line tool reworked to not use threads anymore.
Threading will probably go into liblzma anyway.
- Memory usage limit is now about 30 % for uncompression
and about 90 % for compression.
- Progress indicator with --verbose
- Simplified --help and full --long-help
- Upgraded to the last LGPLv2.1+ getopt_long from gnulib.
- Some bug fixes
Use LZMA_PROG_ERROR instead of LZMA_HEADER_ERROR if the Filter ID
is in the reserved range. This allows Block Header encoder to
detect unallowed Filter IDs, which is good for Stream encoder.
code from block_private.h to block_decoder.c. Now the Block
encoder doesn't need compressed_size and uncompressed_size
from lzma_block structure to be initialized.
LZMA_Alone files. Decoding of concatenated LZMA_Alone files is
intentionally not supported, so it is better to put this in
auto decoder than LZMA_Alone decoder.
broken. API has changed a lot and it will still change a
little more here and there. The command line tool doesn't
have all the required changes to reflect the API changes, so
it's easy to get "internal error" or trigger assertions.

decoder structure.
Make the LZMA decoder to rely on the current internal API
to free the allocated memory in case an error occurs.
specification. Simplify things by removing most of the
support for known uncompressed size in most places.
There are some miscellaneous changes here and there too.
The API of liblzma has got many changes and still some
more will be done soon. While most of the code has been
updated, some things are not fixed (the command line tool
will choke with invalid filter chain, if nothing else).
Subblock filter is somewhat broken for now. It will be
updated once the encoded format of the Subblock filter
has been decided.
misunderstanding of the code. There's no tiny fix for this
problem, so I also cleaned up the code in general.
This reduces the speed of the encoder 2-5 % in the fastest
compression mode ("lzma -1"). High compression modes should
have no noticeable performance difference.
This commit breaks things (especially LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH) but I
will fix them once the new format and LZMA2 has been roughly
implemented. Plain LZMA won't support LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH at all
and won't be supported in the new .lzma format. This may
change still but this is what it looks like now.
Support for known uncompressed size (that is, LZMA or LZMA2
without EOPM) is likely to go away. This means there will
be API changes.
size. The "fix" breaks LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH at end of stream
with known uncompressed size, but since it currently seems
likely that support for encoding with known uncompressed
size will go away anyway, I'm not fixing this problem now.
once we have a stable release (won't be very soon). The
version number is no longer related to version of LZMA SDK.
Made some small Automake-related changes to toplevel

word literal instead of char for better consistency.
There are still some names with _char instead of _literal
in lzma_optimum, these may be changed later.
Renamed length coder variables.
This commit doesn't change the program logic.
