Authors of XZ Utils
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
XZ Utils is developed and maintained by
|
|
Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org>.
|
|
|
|
Major parts of liblzma are based on code written by Igor Pavlov,
|
|
specifically the LZMA SDK <https://7-zip.org/sdk.html>. Without
|
|
this code, XZ Utils wouldn't exist.
|
|
|
|
The SHA-256 implementation in liblzma is based on code written by
|
|
Wei Dai in Crypto++ Library <https://www.cryptopp.com/>.
|
|
|
|
A few scripts have been adapted from GNU gzip. The original
|
|
versions were written by Jean-loup Gailly, Charles Levert, and
|
|
Paul Eggert. Andrew Dudman helped adapting the scripts and their
|
|
man pages for XZ Utils.
|
|
|
|
The initial version of the threaded .xz decompressor was written
|
|
by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
|
|
|
|
The initial version of the .lz (lzip) decoder was written
|
|
by Michał Górny.
|
|
|
|
Architecture-specific CRC optimizations were contributed by
|
|
Ilya Kurdyukov, Hans Jansen, and Chenxi Mao.

Special author: Jia Tan was a co-maintainer in 2022-2024. He and
|
|
the team behind him inserted a backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) into
|
|
XZ Utils 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 releases. He suddenly disappeared when
|
|
this was discovered.
|
|
|
|
Many people have contributed improvements or reported bugs.
|
|
Most of these people are mentioned in the file THANKS.
|
|
|
|
The translations of the command line tools and man pages have been
|
|
contributed by many people via the Translation Project:
|
|
|
|
- https://translationproject.org/domain/xz.html
|
|
- https://translationproject.org/domain/xz-man.html
|
|
|
|
The authors of the translated man pages are in the header comments
|
|
of the man page files. In the source package, the authors of the
|
|
translations are in po/*.po and po4a/*.po files.
