liblzma tries to avoid useless free()/malloc() pairs in
initialization when multiple files are handled using the
same lzma_stream. This didn't work with filter chains
due to comparison of wrong pointers in lzma_next_coder_init(),
making liblzma think that no memory reallocation is needed
even when it actually is.
Easy way to trigger this bug is to decompress two files with
a single xz command. The first file should have e.g. x86+LZMA2
as the filter chain, and the second file just LZMA2.
- Don't use Windows-specific code on Windows. The old code
required at least Windows 2000. Now it should work on
Windows 98 and later, and maybe on Windows 95 too.
- Use less precision when showing estimated remaining time.
- Fix some small design issues.
the number of CPU cores. Added support for using sysinfo()
on Linux systems whose libc lacks appropriate sysconf()
support (at least dietlibc). The Autoconf macros were
split into separate files, and CPU core count detection
was moved from hardware.c to cpucores.h. The core count
isn't used for anything real for now, so a problematic
part in process.c was commented out.
Now configure.ac will get the version number directly from
src/liblzma/api/lzma/version.h. The intent is to reduce the
number of places where the version number is duplicated. In
future, support for displaying Git commit ID may be added too.
linked statically or dynamically against liblzma. The
default is still to use static liblzma, but it can now
be changed by passing --enable-dynamic to configure.
Thanks to Mike Frysinger for the original patch.
Fixed a few minor bugs in configure.ac.
- Use call/ret pair to get instruction pointer for PIC.
- Use PIC only if PIC or __PIC__ is #defined.
- The code should work on MinGW and Darwin in addition
to GNU/Linux and Solaris.
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.

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
Makefile.am and configure.ac.
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.
lzma_encoder_init.c. While we don't call
fill_distances_prices() and fill_align_prices() in
lzma_lzma_encoder_init(), we still need to initialize
these two variables so that the fill functions get
called in lzma_encoder_getoptimum.c in the beginning
of a stream.

it isn't required. Doing memzero() takes a lot of time
with large dictionaries, which could make it easier to

support for LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH may be added in future.
After this commit, using LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH shouldn't cause
undefined behavior in any situation.
encoder and decoder, and put the shared things to
block_private.h. Improved the checks a little so that
they may detect too big Compressed Size at initialization
time if lzma_options_block.total_size or .total_limit is
known.
Allow encoding and decoding Blocks with combinations of
fields that are not allowed by the file format specification.
Doing this requires that the application passes such a
combination in lzma_options_lzma; liblzma doesn't do that,
but it's not impossible that someone could find them useful
in some custom file format.
- Added lzma_memlimit_max() and lzma_memlimit_reached()
API functions.
- Added simple estimation of malloc()'s memory usage
overhead.
- Fixed integer overflow detection in lzma_memlimit_alloc().
- Made some white space cleanups and added more comments.
The description of lzma_memlimit_max() in memlimit.h is bad
and should be improved.
lzma_metadata.header_metadata_size == LZMA_VLI_VALUE_UNKNOWN
is not allowed at all. To indicate missing Header Metadata
Block, header_metadata_size must be set to zero. This is
what Metadata decoder does after this patch too.
Note that other missing fields in lzma_metadata are still
indicated with LZMA_VLI_VALUE_UNKNOWN. This isn't as
illogical as it sounds at first, because missing Size of
Header Metadata Block means that Header Metadata Block is
not present in the Stream. With other Metadata fields,
a missing field means only that the value is unknown.
liblzma as easy as using zlib, because the easy API
don't require developers to know any fancy LZMA options.
Note that Multi-Block Stream encoding is currently broken.
The easy API should be OK, the bug(s) are elsewhere.
This leaves one known alignment bug unfixed: If repeat count
doesn't fit into 28-bit integer, the encoder has to split
this to multiple Subblocks with Subblock Type `Repeating Data'.
The extra Subblocks may have wrong alignment. Correct alignment
is restored after the split Repeating Data has been completely
written out.
Since the encoder doesn't even try to fix the alignment unless
the size of Data is at least 4 bytes, to trigger this bug you
need at least 4 GiB of repeating data with sequence length of
4 or more bytes. Since the worst thing done by this bug is
misaligned data (no data corruption), this bug simply isn't
worth fixing, because a proper fix isn't simple.
The API for handing Subfilters was changed to make it
consistent with LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH.
A few sanity checks were added for Subfilter handling. Some
small bugs were fixed. More comments were added.
function is still shared between encoder and decoder, but the
actual coding is in separate files for encoder and decoder.
There are now separate functions for the actual delta
calculation depending on if Delta is the last filter in the
chain or not. If it is the last, the new code copies the
data from input to output buffer and does the delta
calculation at the same time. The old code first copied the
data, then did the delta in the target buffer, which required
reading through the data twice.
Support for LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH was added to the Delta encoder.
This doesn't change anything in the file format.

too early if we hit End of Input while decoding a Subblock of
type Repeating Data. To keep the loop termination condition
elegant, the order of enumerations in coder->sequence were
changed.
To keep the case-labels in roughly the same order as the
enumerations in coder->sequence, large chunks of code was
moved around. This made the diff big and ugly compared to
the amount of the actual changes made.
in ia64_coder_init(). It triggered assert() in
simple_coder.c, and could have caused a buffer overflow.
This error was probably a copypaste mistake, since most
of the simple filters use unfiltered_max = 4.
