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/>.
Some scripts have been adapted from 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.
CLMUL-accelerated CRC code was contributed by Ilya Kurdyukov.
Other authors:
- Jonathan Nieder
- Joachim Henke
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.
The GNU Autotools-based build system contains files from many authors,
which I'm not trying to list here.
Several people have contributed fixes or reported bugs. Most of them
are mentioned in the file THANKS.
