82 xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20120614-1) unstable; urgency=low
84 * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit f1675f76.
85 - liblzma: BCJ filters would return a spurious LZMA_BUF_ERROR
86 result in certain circumstances. As a result, the xz tool
87 could produce inappropriate "Compressed data is corrupt" or
88 "Unexpected end of input" failures (reported in XZ Embedded as
90 - "xz -v -v --list" prints the minimal XZ Utils version needed
91 to decompress a stream.
92 - "xz --robot -v --list" formats filenames more plainly.
93 - xzgrep does not fail unconditionally when the decompressor
94 dies with SIGPIPE due to unconsumed output any more. This
95 makes the exit status from commands such as "xzgrep -q" and
96 "xzgrep -l" more predictable and convenient for scripts.
97 - examples/xz_pipe_decomp.c did not check correctly for
99 - There is a new set of sample programs. The old ones have
100 been renamed to examples_old but are still maintained.
102 - If dlopen() indicates that liblzma.so.2 is loaded, check fewer
103 reserved fields in the stream argument to the lzma_code()
104 function. This prevents out-of-bounds reads when liblzma5
105 functions are called by code built against liblzma2 (see
106 <http://sourceware.org/PR12977>).
107 - Remove the lzma_code@Base compatibility symbol.
108 Closes: #649522. Thanks to Eduard Bloch.
109 - Install run-time library to /lib so it can be used before /usr
110 is mounted. Closes: #672120.
111 - Configure with --disable-threads for now to avoid needlessly
112 linking to libpthread and librt.
114 - Install an appropriate library for static linking instead of

184 xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20110809-1) unstable; urgency=low
186 * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 5c5b225.
188 - lzma_stream_encoder() leaked memory.
189 - The LZMA2 decoder rejected streams that decompress to a
191 - lzma_easy_buffer_encode() and lzma_stream_buffer_encode()
192 used to write such streams when asked to compress a 0-length
194 - lzma_index_init() would segfault on allocation failure.
195 - liblzma: Various functions check their arguments (especially
196 choice of integrity check) better, making it harder to create
197 a corrupt .xz file instead of receiving an error.
199 - "xz -v -v --list" would read and try to free() uninitialized
200 memory, continuing past the end of an on-stack array, when
201 asked to describe certain corrupted XZ files.
202 - xz -S.suf now refuses to compress a file whose name already
203 ends with the suffix “.suf”.
204 - xz --force can be used to compress setuid, setgid, sticky,
205 and multiply linked files.
206 - xz uses posix_fadvise() to speed up sequential input.
207 - xz --block-size forces a full flush periodically during
208 compression, for better random-access reading support and to
209 make simple parallelism possible in the future.
210 - unxz: The new --single-stream option discards trailing
211 garbage after the end of the first stream.
212 - xzdiff can read gzip- and bzip2-compressed files.
213 - xzdiff and xzgrep can read lzop-compressed files.
214 - xzegrep and xzfgrep perform extended regex and fixed-string
215 matches, respectively. (The previous behavior was to always
217 - xzgrep -l (= --files-with-match) works.
218 - The Czech “xz --help” output uses a more correct term for
219 files with holes. Thanks to Petr Hubený. Closes: #605762.
220 - xz: New Polish and French translations.
221 - The Doxygen-generated documentation uses short, relative paths
222 to name source files. Closes: #572273.
223 * Update copyright file.
224 * Remove example programs from debian/examples. They are included
225 in the upstream source package now.
226 * Move liblzma to an architecture-specific directory, so the
227 native library and foreign-architecture versions can be installed
229 - liblzma2: Pre-Depends: multiarch-support.
230 - Use debhelper compatibility level 9. This requires passing
231 the dh sequence name before other options when invoking dh in
232 debian/rules. Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8.1.3).

271 - xz avoids SA_RESTART. This should not have a visible effect
272 because xz already blocked signals during operations that
273 would be difficult to resume after interruption.
274 - liblzma: The coders returned by lzma_index_encoder() and

312 * New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 373ee26.
313 - liblzma: The settings for compression levels 0 through 5
314 (used by xz -0/.../-5) have been tweaked. This affects the
315 speed, compression ratio, and memory usage at compression and
317 - Does not search so hard for a match when a low "nice match
318 length" setting is specified without a depth.

320 specified filters, rather than vice versa. To mix presets
321 with filter options, use the --lzma2=preset=n option.

503 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100117-1) unstable; urgency=low
505 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit 07a11dad.
506 + Fix some logic errors in the internal memory usage configuration
508 + xz will no longer compress or decompress special files in place,
510 --force still enables compression of the target of a symlink.
511 + xz will no longer read compressed data from a terminal or write
512 it to a terminal, even with --force.
513 + liblzma: many Index handling API improvements:
514 - An lzma_index includes more useful metadata that is not
515 actually from the Index. This is particularly helpful for
516 describing multiple-stream files.
517 * lzma_index_cat() does not take a stream padding argument
518 any more; use lzma_index_stream_padding() instead.
519 * lzma_index_memusage() takes two arguments now.
520 The new lzma_index_memused() convenience function
521 calculates the total memory usage of an lzma_index.
522 * lzma_index_count() has been replaced with
523 lzma_index_block_count() and lzma_index_stream_count().
524 * The new lzma_index_stream_flags() allows storing Stream
525 Flags (e.g., checksum types) with the Index information.
526 * The new lzma_index_checks() function indicates the list of
527 checksum types in use.
528 * lzma_index_equal() has been removed. Its semantics were
529 unclear, and something approximately equivalent can be
530 implemented by iterating over Blocks in application code.
531 - An lzma_index no longer represents a position within an Index.
532 The new lzma_index_iter type can be used for that purpose.
533 * Certain functions generate an iterator on demand now rather
534 than clobbering their lzma_index arguments. Using a single
535 lzma_index for multiple concurrent invocations is safe now:
536 lzma_index_buffer_encode(), lzma_index_encoder()
537 * Functions that used to specify a Record by modifying an
538 lzma_index argument have been renamed and taught to write
539 an lzma_index_iter instead:
540 lzma_index_locate() -> lzma_index_iter_locate()
541 lzma_index_rewind() -> lzma_index_iter_rewind()
542 lzma_index_read() -> lzma_index_iter_next()
543 * The lzma_index_record type used by lzma_index_read() for
544 complex seeks is no more. lzma_index_iter_next() instead
545 takes a parameter of the new lzma_index_iter_mode type.
546 * New function: lzma_index_iter_init()
547 * lzma_index_init() cannot reuse memory from an existing
548 lzma_index any more. The signature changed accordingly.
549 + xz: support for decompressing to a sparse file
550 - Try to write a sparse file if the decompressed stream contains
551 long runs of null bytes.
552 - The new --no-sparse option disables this behavior.
553 + xz: add Czech translation.
554 + liblzma-dev: lzma_filters_copy() and lzma_filters_update() are
555 declared not to throw exceptions.
556 * liblzma: bump soname.
557 * xz-utils: Add NEWS.Debian describing the sparse file support.
558 * debian/rules: Stop explicitly disabling assembler optimizations on
559 the Hurd. The configure script will check if a platform is
562 * debian/rules: Update clean target to handle comments and wildcards
564 * Build-Depends: perl.
566 * debian/rules: Speed up build by using autoreconf --symlink.
567 * Remove debian/dirs lists.
568 * Update copyright file and fix a small typo.

572 xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20091116-1) unstable; urgency=low
574 * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d315ca4.
575 + liblzma: add some new functions:
576 - lzma_filters_copy() to copy a filter chain;
577 - lzma_filters_update() to change compression options mid-stream;
578 - lzma_physmem() to retrieve the total quantity of installed RAM.
579 + Fix a design error in liblzma API.
580 - Stop requiring caller to maintain filter chain during
581 compression. The library used to read it for new compression
582 options. Callers that need to change options mid-stream should
583 use lzma_filters_update() instead.
584 - Remove 'persistent' member from struct lzma_options_lzma.
585 + xz: add --robot --info-memory options, for front-ends to use to
586 read the memory usage limit.
587 * liblzma: bump soname; add README.Debian explaining why soname
588 differs from upstream.
589 * Use source format 3.0 (quilt).
590 * Update and clarify copyright file.
